Does Maria understand masonry calls?
She knows mud (mortar), buttering the brick, screeding the bed joint, a brick trowel (Marshalltown), and what Quikrete means — the right questions for a stone veneer and a walkway, not a caller re-explaining their own job.
An after-hours masonry job?
Cracked or crumbling mortar joints needing tuckpointing/repointing can’t wait. She answers 24/7 as your company, books or messages it, and warm-transfers a real emergency to your cell.
How do I hear about the calls?
Email — summary and full transcript — the second it ends. Calendar booking on both plans. And she texts your customers their appointment confirmations and reminders automatically.
