To whom it may concern:
I wish to compliment the professionalism exhibited by Mr. Ismet Surdulli,
Mason, who recently accomplished several jobs at our residence.
a. The first objectives discussed and agreed in contract following an
estimate was the repair of five arch ways on our front porch. Long
neglected, the archways represent an icon to architectural standards, in
particular, a distinct characteristic to Tudor-style homes built during the
depression era in North Texas, specifically Dallas, the Elmwood
neighborhood. Our home made from brick, had suffered exposure to the
elements and the natural results of erosion. Mr. Surdulli effectively
assessed the situation and made the necessary repairs replacing old,
ineffective keystones with new, handsome keystones, adding new brick and
mortar. The results were impressive and no longer required the former wooden
beams to support the archways.
b. Secondly, Mr. Surdulli brought to our attention the potential need to
address the disintegrating foundation. Again, an estimate was provided, the
quote was agreed to and production followed immediately. All discussed
repairs to the exterior facade, including routing old, unsightly mortar and
replacing with new mortar. All cracks formerly discussed with Mr. Surdulli
were accomplished in a timely manner. Additionally, Mr. Surdulli effectively
resolved the foundation problems to our home.
c. Mr. Surdulli additionally absorbed new objectives during the completion
of the formerly discussed and contracted work listed above. The stone work
performed on our front porch is a testament to Mr. Surdulli's vision. Given
the dire need for repairs needed to our former concrete porch, Mr. Surdulli
recommended stone and brought several examples for our review. Upon
discussion, estimate and agreement to a white flag stone, Mr. Surdulli
initiated production of the front porch. Results soared above our
expectations, culminating in Mr. Surdulli's willingness and resourcefully
implementing the remaining stones to an additional three-tire porch to our
16 x 20' shed.
d. Mr. Surdulli consistently presents himself available for consultation
and generally discusses both functional and aesthetic requirements with us
prior to production. His knowledge of the materials used at our residence,
stone and brick, is impressive and we are sincerely appreciative of both the
tactile and visual impressions generated by his imagination and hands.
e. A true artisan and a skilled mason, Mr. Surdulli brought to our home the
level of professionalism we expected. We are indeed satisfied with the
results and continue to enjoy the praise from our friends, guests and
neighbors. Mr. Surdulli's efforts have resolved an integral requirement both
towards embellishing the aesthetics and restoring the functionality to our
home.
Respectfully,
Jon E. Marquette
