I had a dry-fit retaining wall that was sagging alarmingly, so I contacted DiMarco. Jim asked for photos, he couldn't make an accurate appraisal so he stopped by within a day or two. He gave me a plan on what he would do, and I could tell he knew his stuff by virtue of remedying causal factors for the leaning, including improper drainage. I also had him look at a 1957 original kitchen exhaust blower that was now a dead end and fall hazard, wanting it taken down -- which I couldn't do safely on my own -- and a frustrating area where water would come into my office when it rained hard with a lot of wind. Jim said all the right things, and I was very happy with his quote. He communicated well via email about when he could come. He and his crew showed up and did a fantastic job. They bricked in the gap where the exhaust came out, properly insulating and sealing as they did so, and painstakingly addressed the likely factors in the water intrusion. I would hire him again in a heartbeat. I wish I had had him work on my chimney a couple of years ago instead of a certain other company who overcharged me and reneged on a necessary service they had promised but carefully not included in the contract. He would have done a better job and charged me less. read more

After needing stone repair on our home following the removal for another project, Jim and his team impressed us with their ability to find the perfect matching stone and flawlessly install it. The integration of the new stone is seamless, making it impossible to distinguish from the original. We are very pleased with their work and would not hesitate to engage them for future projects. I highly recommend their services. (Before and after photos included) read more

We searched for a mason for several months without success. The masons I found either did not call me back - or a few of them came to our house and said they would get back to me and never did. We wanted to close a door to a small porch off the master bedroom and our contractor sealed it with drywall and tarp, but we needed a mason to match the brick and brick it in. Our house in Mt Lebanon is 96 years old and the brick is unique. I called Jim Dimarco and he came over that SAME DAY (!) to look at the house and the next day it wasn't freezing (they cannot mix cement needed for masonry if below freezing temps) his crew came over and finished the job. The brick he found was perfect and now you could never tell there ever had been a doorway originally - the work was that good. Plus he's a super nice guy - as was his crew. Could not be happier - would never use anyone else. Thanks Jim! read more

Finding a good mason takes time and you also need the patience when they are in high demand. Such is the case with my experience with DiMarco masonry. I was in dire need of pointing for my home and also to address water issues coming off my solid cement staircase. Jim DiMarco came to my home late last year and went over what could be done to help me. He recommended putting in a metal drain below the "lip" of the staircase to reduce run off. When it comes to pointing, the business just doesn't fill in the gaps. Instead they dig out the old cement and insure fresh cement to insure a solid seal. Such was the plan given to me last fall and reflected on my estimate. At that time I was told my project would be done sometime this year. DiMarco masonry called me a day ahead of time to let me know what day and time they would be out and he and his assistant arrived promptly at the scheduled time. I checked in on the work here and there and saw that the work was very thorough and they cleaned up appropriately. Jim DiMarco showed me the metal lip he placed on my concrete block and hopefully it should keep excess water from running down my staircase and onto my newly finished bricks. If I had an issue at any time I was free to call him. I was very pleased with his services and am glad I could find a mason to do a quality job. This business is much in demand at the current time so if you are willing to wait on your project then I highly recommend their services. read more

Contacted Jim a few months ago to get an estimate for some masonry repair. We talked over a few areas of concern and he explained thoroughly what was happening, why it was happening and ways to address the issues. He got us an estimate, then on the schedule and contacted us when he would be starting the work. We had a chimney fully repointed, a new crown poured and repointing of a few areas around the house. He and his team were extremely respectful of our property and felt like they treated it as their own. They were on time and extremely efficient throughout doing the work. You can tell Jim and the guys truly care about the work they provide. I would recommend Jim and his team to anyone looking for masonry work. 100% will use them in the future if ever needed. read more

Our experience with Dimarco was great. Took the time to explain their work, cleaned up well, and the finished products looks really good. They worked on lintel replacement and pointing around our stone house. We would definitely hire them again if needed. read more

Did an excellent job. Was quick to respond to my request, came out quickly to inspect the job, responded with a quote within 2 days, got me on the schedule and was able to slot me in sooner than expected due to a cancellation. Showed up on time, did quality work and cleaned up quickly. I would definitely recommend DiMarco Masonry. read more
