Lightbulb Brick pionting/roofer

Anyone have a good recommendation for some brick pointing. Someone who is good and fair in price. Also the name of a good roofer in the NE area.

YES !!

I had mine ( point work ) done last year. VERY reasonable. As a matter of fact, I have to call him back to cut a hole in the wall to install a wall unit A/C. I don't have his card with me, but I'll post his number on Tuesday when I get back home. If I forget, shoot me a PM on tuesday

Thank you!

Does anyone know what I can expect to be paying? I'm in a row and most of the pointing would be in the back of the house.

The roof issue is crazy because we think we have a leak in the siding on the second floor that is going into/under the porch roof and leaking onto the porch. Uuuuugh.

Default i know a good brick & stone pointer

my FIL does stone & brick pointing. he is out of the city for the wknd, but if you'd like his number PM me & i'll shoot it out to you ;-) he has been doing this for yrs(family biz) & is fair & reasonable. he is also a very clean worker!
also, the leak into your porch may be the roof, but it could also be the pointing somewhere in the front of the house too.
have a great holiday wknd,
gg

Default roofer

Argentina & Son has done new roofs ("rooves"?) in three houses in our family (one many years ago and two more recently). So I definitely recommend them.

It's now July 31st, 2008 and..
Um,... let's see, that would have been 5/27/2008 right?
I guess it slipped your mind

By the way, how much work was involved in the pointing?.. partial wall, whole?... and what was his cost for that?
I ask because I have a few little spots that need touching up, most of the wall is ok.
