Franklin, just a short note to tell you how pleased we are with the dry stack stone walls. The walls look great - they far exceed what we expected. You and Josh and Peter are true craftsman. Thank you! - Dave Allen, Boone NC
Thanks so much for the great job. We love it. - O'Connors, Blowing Rock NC
Beautiful!!!!!!!!!!! I can hardly wait to see this completed.- Miller, Valle Crucis NC
Thanks for starting and finishing so quickly and doing such a good job.- Bachenheimer, Boone NC
Franklin, we just got back from the cabin and I wanted to tell you how nice I think the chimney looks. It looks like it will be good for 50 years. I did find the papers on the old repair. They were done in 2005 and included added cement and two coats of silicone to the chimney..... Thanks again for the beautiful work and pleasant contact. You have been my favorite "trades person" so far and I haven't even met you. Thank you for making a horrible discovery into a manageable and permanent fix experience. -Morissey, Seven Devils NC
Franklin and his crew are the ultimate professionals. This is the third job he has done for me and I recommend his work without hesitation...plus my dog loves his!-Grubbs, Misty Mtn. Blowing Rock NC
We loved the work you did and how meticulous you were! Thank you so much!- Parrish, Caldwell County NC
Let me start by thanking for your quick response and the timeline. It is refreshing....[and] thank you for making my job a priority. Under the circumstances it was important to remedy the issues for safety reasons. - Hedrick, Matney NC
Hi Franklin, we just returned from the mountain house and seeing your work. We are really pleased with the stacked field stone and thimble surround. We love how you placed the stones, the colors and variety of rock. The foundations and chimney rock work also look great. -Allens, Mtn. City TN
Thank you so much for helping us. This leak [in our chimney] has been a thorn in our side for some time so I am glad to finally find a solution...thank you again for coming to our rescue. -Lynn, Boone NC
It has been really great working with Franklin on this project. In the first day of working together we set more stone than I was able to set in four days. Franklin is clearly an expert stone mason, his knowledge and techniques have been invaluable. We still have an amazing amount of work to finish, but I can now see a path to completion. This project is challenging not just in the sheer size of the wall, over 160 feet long and an average height over four feet, but also because the stones are different sizes and shapes. Frequently stone is purchased already sorted by size and shape and these stones came directly from a field. Franklin has an amazing ability to look at a stone and immediately see its potential.- Tony, Raleigh NC
Thanks. She was beside herself. She's so happy!! Thank you and Josh again for everything. I couldn't have asked for a better experience. - Matt, Glendale Springs NC
Thanks for a terrific job, sending us photo/email updates and working with us long distance. - Dave and Linda, Sugar Mtn NC/Tampa FL
We sure do love our wall you built! /Hell yeah man that thing rocks! Even better with the locust rails Cory added! -Megan and Andy, Boone NC
Your work is absolutely amazing! It looks fantastic! I had company over for lunch today & they couldn't stop raving about my stone work! It sure changes the look of my house. -Kim, Boone NC
"I wanted to say agin how thankful I am that you took this project on. I cannot say enough of the end result.. STUNNING!! Thanks for being honest and real, you and Josh are a real cohesive team that melds as one. This is a sweet Appalachian fireplace."- Greg, Boone NC
"Franklin- I really, really, really like your work! It looks great and the design is perfect and creative." Thank you. -Doug Bullard, Lookout Mtn, Chattanooga.
"Franklin- Thank you! Thank you! I can't wait to see the repaired chimney- I'm delighted that stones won't fall and hit me in the head!"- Bonnie Fleming, Grandfather Club.
