Their team repointed the mortar joints, repaired damaged concrete, and repainted the interior and exterior. The work was done on time, the quality was excellent, and the price was reasonable. They were easy to work with, communicated well, and left everything looking much better than before. I'd happily recommend them for masonry and concrete repair work.

Martin made an appt 4 a Fri afternoon & I was making a decision that wk, so I cancelled a different contractor (electrician), in order 2 move things along. 3). Fri came & went with NO CALL/TEXT/EMAIL WHATSOEVER. Maybe they're gd masonry workers, but their customer services suck bitime. DON'T BOTHER booking an appt w them. Keep looking until u find someone who appreciates that your time is as valuable as theirs. Part 2 - update Now I feel terrible about what I wrote. Life happens & I obviously slipped thru the cracks when your assistant tried 2 reach customers. It's not your fault cuz stuff like that is bound 2 happen. It ended up being me. Guess I was tired of interviewing potential masonry people. Your company had 5 stars & my hopes were up. Wishing your family only the best.

Jonathan and his team did an excellent job transforming our wraparound driveway into a backyard…read morepatio space. It was not a straightforward job as the driveway was on a downward slope and needed to be leveled out pretty significantly. Jonathan and his team also put in fencing to surround the patio and cleared out some space (old stumps, lots of weeds) to make room. They got the job done on time and on budget, and Jonathan was highly communicative throughout the process. We could not be happier with the result. The attention to detail was very impressive, the process was smooth and the patio / fencing looks fantastic. Would highly recommend. 5 stars without a doubt.

Amazing experience with PMP! We hired them to install a paver patio w/ fire pit and couldn't be…read morehappier with how everything turned out. From the start, Leo arrived exactly when he said he would to take his initial look at our project. In addition to providing us a competitive quote on-site, he also provided us some suggestions for our project design that we did end up using. We were so pleased and impressed with him, we hired him on the spot. Fast forward to the patio install itself, once again everything went great! The craftsmanship and attention to detail is top notch. These guys also worked their tails off. Despite it being 90+ degrees, they worked tirelessly the entire day and were able to complete our patio ahead of schedule! To our surprise, they even took the time to backfill the disturbed area next to the new patio with loam and even spread some seed on it for us. Leo and Regiane were great communicators throughout the project and the patio is perfect. A+ all around! Will highly recommend them. Additionally, living in the age of Covid, the staff took all safety precautions necessary, including wearing masks whenever they were unable to stay socially distance and always when meeting with us on-site without prompting which we greatly appreciate.

They also adjusted on the fly and we able to make a custom solution for us with beautiful wood railings with aluminum balusters. We've gotten multiple compliments from friends how sharp it looks. We have two small kids and were very concerned to be going into winter without railings (we are 33 steps from the street). Jeff was able to squeeze us in before the end of season. Riccardo and his team were out in the freezing temps finishing the railings. Everything came out great; communications were smooth throughout; and cleanup was perfect. I'd highly recommend this company - we plan to use them for home improvement projects in the future.

Working with Masonworks has been a roller coaster. They are very, very good at the masonry aspect,…read morebut we had a negative experience with everything outside of the excellent stone walls and patio they built for us. They have built beautiful flat stone walls for us in our front and back yards. We were very impressed with them after the first job they did for us in our front yard a few years ago, so we did not even look at other companies when we wanted to spruce up our backyard this year. The garden walls they built in the backyard were once again beautiful. However, as a gardener, I was disappointed and frustrated by the following things: - Our contract included 50/50 loam compost for the new garden beds. During the job, we caught them filling the beds with the grass they had pulled up from our old lawn and asked them to stop doing that. - When I went to start planting, I found that the garden beds had only a layer of new soil but that my shovel quickly hit a lot of big rocks and uncovered old soil, debris, and trash. - They completely trampled and destroyed my established perennial garden, which was located in a garden bed above where the new beds were built. They also broke several pavers in a little garden path I had and removed them without replacing them. - They recommended microclover for my lawn and seeded it for us as part of the contract, but it grew in quite spotty despite us maintaining it properly with daily waterings. I contacted them about the first issue and their initial response was to tell me that the stones I was finding were part of the wall construction - this was not the case. They had someone come out to take a look and concluded that the soil did need to be replaced, which they finally did. It is much better now, though I still have found some large stones in it. However, in the process of solving that issue, they caused the second one - many of the perennials that my mother and I had worked to plant over the past four years were totally destroyed. They offered me a credit to compensate for the loss, or the option to have them reinstall new flowers, but by that point I just didn't want them near my garden anymore so accepted the credit. I didn't bother contacting them about the spotty lawn - I threw down some grass seeds yesterday to try and fill in the gaps. While I appreciated that they did eventually take steps to resolve the issues, I found it quite frustrating to have to keep reaching out just to get them to do what they really should have done in the first place. They never did a final walkthrough as I've seen other contractors do. No apology for destroying my garden. They have a Benjamin Franklin quote, "The bitterness of poor quality remains long after the sweetness of low price is forgotten" - I definitely felt some of that bitterness throughout this process. My conclusion is that they are really excellent masons but do not understand or respect gardens. If you hire them, be prepared to have to deal with that.

We initially only contacted them for the walkway, but they did such a great job, we decided to have them help us with the rest of the projects we had on our list as well.

They worked really hard, did a really nice job, and took away all the waste when they were done. We've had lots of compliments on the new walkway, the landings, and the columns from the neighbors. They would be our go-to stone / paving contractor, and we would certainly recommend them to our friends!
