For Residential Customers

For Commercial Customers

RESIDENTIAL

How can you help residential customers?
We provide estimates with line items so you can see exactly how different items affect the total price of your project. We can take you for a tour of homes, showing you how the appearance of the brick changes dramatically with the addition of soffit, window and shingle colors. We'll make sure you're only paying for the actual square footage of masonry work installed on your project. Sometimes blueprints are not 100% accurate, After we've been selected as your masonry contractor, we'll perform a field measurement to ensure you're paying for the actual labor and materials used to install the masonry on your project.

Can I see brick or stone samples?
Typically that process starts on the internet by looking at our suppliers' samples. Once you've narrowed your interests, we'll work with you to visit the suppliers' sample rooms and may even be able to provide addresses of existing residences using those materials.

How do I get an estimate? How long does it take?
To provide you with a proper estimate, you'll need to have an idea of the materials you'd like to use and be able to provide a blueprint (or drawing) highlighting wall lengths, heights and the dimensions of all openings. Depending on the size of the project, an estimate may take 5-10 business days.
