Terry did a challenging stone repair to the front of our house and it came out excellent. Took the time to reuse the existing stone since an exact match wasn’t available and made sure that the new mortar color matched the existing color. Extremely happy wit the work, the timing and the price.

Terry and Raise the Standard did an excellent job building a new fireplace in my family room. We originally had a small unvented propane log set situated at ground level a foot or so offset into the wall. I had some stone veneer left over from a prior job as well as some slate. Using these materials I hoped to replace the existing setup with a raised and vented stone fireplace. I had a hard time finding a willing mason available, but fortunately was given Terry's # by a friend. Terry met with me to discuss the job and coordinated his efforts with that of the stove company that was supplying the

I had an idea what I wanted and made a few drawings and showed them to Terry who asked me a few questions and I could tell right away I was working with the right company. I got a firm quote and then I added a few things along the way that did cost more but did not break the budget. We agreed on a schedule and Raise the Standard stuck to it and we are so happy with the result. I have shown our pavilion to a number of people in the construction industry identify this as the highest quality work.

My sister Lori Sangrey wanted me to share about the fabulous experience she had with Kerry & his crew. RTS did a small repair job that’s hard to find a company willing to do. The guys got there quickly, did the work, and cleaned up after. Price was fair and I love looking at my stone wall. Thank you!

Terry and Raise the Standard, Inc. did an amazing job building our outdoor kitchen. They were fantastic to work with. Terry helped us through the process, selecting appropriate materials, colors, etc. The project was completed on time and under budget. I highly recommend. Could not have asked for a better result.
