Great job by Terry at Petra. He did a beautiful job on my neighbor’s brick mailbox and took care of some necessary repointing of the brick on our house front and our brick mailbox. Highly recommended. Quick, efficient, perfect cleanup. Call Terry!!

Terry does great point up work. He matched the red mortar color perfectly at my building in Shillington. I will use him again in the future.
