In addition to fixing some cracks in the bricks of my home's exterior, Rife Masonry filled in an area where there had formerly been a door. They did a wonderful job matching the current bricks for a seamless look in the wall. The crew was thorough and kind; they kept a clean job site and did the work quickly.
