Salcedo Masonry LLC

I contracted Salcedo Masonry, LLC to repair my chimney on October 3. Below is a list of some of the issues, but not all, for the chimney work:

1. The chimney was not rebuilt from the roofline up as stated in the contract.
2. The repairs were not completed to architectural masonry standards and have started to fail prematurely.
3. Excessive mortar joints on the first 12 rows of the rebuilt section. One of the employees noticed the owner Luis S***'s mistakes and corrected them by adding the spacer going forward, which completely changed the look of the remaining chimney and does not match the first portion of the repair or the existing chimney. The employee admitted to me this was a mistake and should have been corrected.
4. The wrong size brick was used, which caused the excessive joints and spacers (7½" when 8" bricks should have been used).
5. The repointing work for the lower part of the chimney that is outlined in the contract has not been completed 100% (approximately 5–10% has been completed).
6. Mortar splatter left on the new bricks and parts of the existing lower part of the chimney.
7. Excessive amounts of debris, mortar, and brick pieces left in the work area.
8. Plants and landscaping destroyed by not properly tarping the work area or lower half of the scaffolding.
9. Piles of mortar left to harden on the concrete ledge at the bottom of the chimney.
10. Permanent stains and mortar on the driveway, pavers, and street.
11. Employees and the owner were very unprofessional, screaming vulgar language, throwing tools, etc.
12. The company does not follow OSHA safety guidelines. Employees and the owner did not use fall protection while working on the scaffolding/roof.
13. An employee urinated in a bucket in our driveway and proceeded to dump it in our neighbor's yard. After dumping it into our neighbor's yard, he rinsed the bucket and dumped it into our flower garden.
14. A day after the repairs, large chunks of mortar fell into our fireplace, damaging the fireplace interior, hearth, and floor.
