"He" is also repairing the block wall that some chick with no brakes ran into at my house. Yes, he is my friend, but the work is exceptional and not because it is me. Heh, we even joked about how it is "just me" and how they could have done a decent job vs. an exceptional job because I would be happy with that. It's just a block wall that took 30+ years to be run into. But, the grout lines are perfect, two levels are used to make sure each block is level, stronger re-bar is being replaced vertically, horizontally real re-bar is being used instead of the cheap wire that was previously there, and... they are filling every single block with cement when code is only every other one. The next time someone runs into that block wall is going to be very sorry.
If anyone wants a contractor who does the job right and for a reasonable price, please feel free to ping me, tmare or t-man. He can do just about anything and if he can't, he won't BS you and tell you that he can. IR2 has also used his services and I am hopeful he will have the same happy referral as well.
