What recent reviews say

Most jobs finish with strong results: chimneys repointed on old homes, retaining walls, and steps all earn consistent praise for quality and neat sites. One early complaint about ghosting after a quote, but later reviews show Ernie moving quickly, sometimes starting the next day, and staying on-site from dawn to dusk.

Based on limited recent reviews, so treat this as low-confidence.
