One December 2015 customer said Dave O'Brien undid old, sloppy concrete work in a basement and left the area in better shape than expected. Getting the job started took persistence: the homeowner described difficulty making initial contact, then said Dave could not meet at the originally scheduled time on their second try. Once they agreed on the work, Dave fitted it around larger jobs by working evenings, and the customer praised the finished result. This is a Peabody masonry business; Dave's Angi description offers walls, walkways, chimneys, patios, repointing, and brick and stone work. Other 2015 customers describe both careful work and scheduling strain. A September reviewer struggled to arrange the estimate, start and finish, yet called the finished work outstanding. A July customer said Dave accommodated changes, finished within the stated timeframe and gave a discount. A June homeowner said he kept the customer involved, cleaned up daily and finished on time and under budget. The Angi and HomeAdvisor listings each show 3.8 stars from 13 ratings; their customer comments overlap. The most detailed complaint is from August 2015. That customer said Dave missed three agreed visits and left a small project unfinished after about a month. The reviewer described concrete pedestals at different heights, misaligned brick columns and materials that had to be improvised from bricks the customer supplied. This is a specific concern about workmanship as well as scheduling. The praise and complaints here both come from 2015, so Dave's evening availability and the scheduling problems are historical customer experiences.

We had some difficulty making initial connection to view the proposed job. He was very apologetic when he wasn't able to meet at the time we'd originally scheduled for the 2nd time. We decided to try one more time and it was worth it. Once we met and agreed on the scope of the work - Dave worked evenings to fit us in around larger jobs and his already full schedule. He does beautiful work - clean and pleasing to look at. He undid the sloppy, smeared on globs of concrete that someone had done years ago. And he did more than we'd asked or expected, making sure that the whole basement was in good shape. He has done masonry his whole life. He takes great, well-deserved pride in being a great craftsman. We will definitely work with him again! <br />

great..on time, courteous, would use again <br />
Dave put out a Big Deal that resulted in a ton of new work for his business. I know it was tough for him to keep everyone happy. It was a bit of a struggle to get him to come out for the estimate, start and then finish the work. In the end though, i couldn't be happier. The work is outstanding!! Dave is great at his work. Just give him a chance. <br />
