Beware of the Low Bid…

We all know the sayings that if it’s too good to be true, it probably isn’t. In the case of Saint Louis tuckpointing or contractors, it’s easy to quote a low price, but tough to deliver quality work. If a St. Louis tuckpointer gives you a quote that’s a third of other quotes, ask yourself what’s missing? Typically what they’re not telling you is that they aren’t carrying insurance, worker’s comp or that they sub contract your tuckpointing project. In some cases, they may even hire undocumented labor. If a worker is hurt at your St. Louis home or business and they don’t carry proper insurance, you, the homeowner or business owner, could be liable and on the losing end of a costly lawsuit. Also, they may cut corners in materials used or time spent making sure the project is completed correctly. Last year, Massey Tuckpointing and Masonry repointed or repaired substandard tuckpointing and masonry on almost 24% of the homes we tuckpointed. Unfortunately the homeowner or business owner had to pay twice–once to have the job done poorly, then a second time to fix the shoddy work. Don’t pay twice. Pay once and know that the work, materials and company behind your tuckpointing is going to stand behind their work. We have the highest ratings with the BBB, Angie’s List, carry all proper insurance, permits, hire experienced, skilled, drug-tested tuckpointers and pay attention to all the details and customer service. We are the company that you’ll want to refer to family, friends and neighbors.

Winter’s Toll on Tuckpointing

The winter 0f 2014 has been brutal–record cold temperatures, snowfall, freezing and thawing. This rough winter weather is not only tough on you, but it’s murder on your home’s exterior. Your St Louis homes’ tuckpointing, bricks and mortar are taking a beating. If you’ve been putting off tuckpointing your home or business, this is the year to finally get it done. Massey Tuckpointing & Masonry, your trusted masons, are ready to get you on the schedule and get your project done.

Fall Is In The Air.

“Fall is definitely back in St Louis–crisp air, temperatures dropping, leaves turning colors, and the smell of wood burning. It’s the last sign of Fall that should make you think about Massey Tuckpointing and Masonry right about now. Pretty soon, St Louis fireplaces and chimneys will be providing us with the warmth and glow of a beautiful fire. If you haven’t had your chimney inspected this year, or professionally swept, that warm, romantic fire could turn into a real danger and problem. Creosote, the waxy buildup from using your fireplace, accumulates each and every time you make a fire. When that creosote builds up too much, it makes your fireplace more susceptible to a dangerous chimney fire. Don’t use your Saint Louis chimney and fireplace until you’ve had the pros at Massey Tuckpointing & Masonry, inspect and clean it thoroughly. If we do discover a problem with missing bricks, a damaged flue liner, chimney cap, etc. we can let you know right away. Call Massey Tuckpointing & Masonry and schedule your professional chimney inspection (using the Chim-Scan chimney camera) and our thorough cleaning from top to bottom. This is all for just $199.00! Most Saint Louis chimney sweeps charge that just for the cleaning, WITHOUT the professional inspection. We provide BOTH for one great price. Plus, if you’re chimney does need repairs, we’re the most trusted name in St. Louis tuckpointing and masonry already. Call us today.
