I had a very good experience with Manuel and would recommend him to others without reservation. He will not lie to you, he will tell you what you need, and he will not bid on something he thinks should not be done. I found him to be reliable, and his crew was fast and dependable and courteous. The cost seemed reasonable to me (although I don't have a basis for comparison) given that his crew had to haul away the old wall. He did the work on time and on budget. I'll use him again if I need masonry work in the future. The wall itself went up straight and nice, and he made sure both my wife and I inspected the footings before he did the pour, so we knew that it was quality work supporting it.
