We needed an old, brick retaining wall to be rebuilt as it was starting to fall apart. I learned…read morethat drainage holes were never installed and thus it was finally at a point of failing. Eric was recommended by neighbors who had successful work done my him and his crew. Eric is professional, punctual and consistent. The work and clean up was exceptional. They rebuilt the wall and put the proper netting, drainage and bricks in place. My plants were protected as well. I need repainting but I am attaching some proof of great work. We also needed some brick repair on a front yard wall and that was handled nicely as well.

We were left high and dry from another company when they demoed our previous retaining wall, then…read morehalf built a replacement wall. This was in ~2020. After several years, I got up the nerve to look up contractors who were willing to finish it for us. I'm so thankful to have found Eric and his company, Salazar Masonry Service. Eric was very responsive from the get go. He was thorough in explaining the process and what was needed to complete the job...and then some! Eric's communication was awesome from the first time I reached out. He was professional, friendly, and professional. He let me know the morning of when he was on his way and progress getting here (his commute was 90 minutes away). I got a quote for material and he offered to call and get a better price and then I called in to pay for it. What a kind gesture! He and his crew were timely and efficient. Eric explained the process and showed us what he was going to do. When he ran out of material, he got more and when he charged us for the material and trip, he didn't price gouge. He showed us the receipt for the additional materials and that is what we paid. We couldn't be more happy with job and Eric's professionalism. He is an artist in his craft and what contractors should be: honest! The retaining wall looks amazing and we're thankful that the 5 year chapter of the wall is closed! Pictures to follow!

Mr. Rios's masonry company was subcontracted by our builder to do the stone and masonry work on our…read morehome. I had extensive conversations with Mr. Rios prior to and during construction concerning water intrusion issues and the methods he used to mitigate that threat. I have now discovered that the top of the entire front wall of our front porch and much of the roof decking behind it has rotted due to improper preparation/installation of the subterranean flashing below and between layers of the stonework. This has required the complete removal of the existing stonework and replacement of the underlying wooden substructure. The first hole was discovered in our attic ceiling approximately two months ago. Examination by a roofer indicated that the external flashing around the stonework was sealed, but that the water intrusion appeared to be entering "through" the stonework. I requested that Mr. Rios investigate and give me a repair quote. He advised that he would, but I have not heard from him since. Subsequent repairs from a different masonry company have revealed that the initial stonework installation was left improperly protected from water intrusion, leading to the rotting of the wooden substructure. After advising Mr. Rios of the findings, he disavows any responsibility for the preparation/installation of the proper water mitigation strategies to prevent the exact type problem which we are now addressing. Pointing fingers of blame in every direction but his crew, he blames the roofer, builder, etc. Notably, the roofer's external flashing was sealed. I would agree the builder was deficient in trusting Mr. Rios's crew to professionally know the requirements for their work and ensure they were completed. As professional stonemasons, either they should have properly prepared the underlayment for their stonework, or if they felt that part was not their responsibility, they should have brought it to the builder's attention to ensure that it was done prior to their work. No such concern was voiced.
