We had quite a few furniture items that needed to be assembled and we were looking for a handyman. We messaged a few other handymen here on Yelp but the communication was bad. All I wanted was a clear price and estimated time. Eric responded timely and gave a clear quote. I had to split the work up into two days cause some of my items hadn't arrived yet and he was able to quote me for the two days just fine with a clear understanding of the work. He worked efficiently, had all the tools and a floor tarp and work was excellent quality all around. The price was very competitive and reasonable. He built a bunk bed with a trundle and a twin bed also with a trundle and a dresser, all in one day. Super happy with the work. Thanks! read more

Eric and his partner did a great job repairing a block wall in my backyard. When he can to look at the damage he gave me a clear plan on how he was to fix it so I knew what to expect. He was very responsive and quoted a fair price. The repair looks clean and blends into the rest of the wall like it was never never damaged! I highly recommend Eric the Mason read more

See all

I'm literally still jumping around my house over the good fortune of finding Eric Garcia for our brick project. We've gotten so used to lousy communication and flakes who don't show up or do shoddy work, my husband and I are kind of in shock over how wonderful the experience was. Eric responded to texts. He showed up on time after confirming his arrival the night before. He assessed the job, asked questions, then went to get the necessary mortar/cement/etc. He helped us troubleshoot which brick pattern was best for the job and then got to work tirelessly until it was finished. Plus, he didn't make a mess. He carefully put dug up dirt in a bin and carried away the icky red brick water instead of trying to dump it in our yard (like we've experienced with other masonry guys.) All this AND a good price. We give him 11/10. Hiring him is #winning. read more

Have you had a situation when you hired a contractor who looked knowledgeable and professional in the beginning but when he would start working you noticed something was not right. You give him a chance again and wait, hoping that he will do it right after but situation only getting worse until you stop the job and ask to start redoing things. That what I felt with Eric mason who was working on my property who caused more harm than helped. I need to hire another mason guy and redo Eric's job. First of all he is not LICENSED, BONDED OR INSURED!!! Although he said he was licensed in our conversation. 1. NOT CLEAN, MESSY JOB. When you hire a contractor by his job cleanliness, detail oriented and meticulous traits you can tell what his professional ethics are. What I mean he laid the brick on my existing columns and did some prep work of the porch walls. After he left the job all the bricks, ground around columns and porch walls, water pipes, filter housing and pavement left so messy covered in cement. He would never clean after himself. I asked to cover the ground from excessive cement and dirt before starting the job, he agreed but it didn't help due to lack of care. He left the job super nasty everywhere where he worked. 2. NOT PROFESSIONAL EVEN OR LEVELED WORK, POOR QUALITY INSIDE. When he completed laying bricks on my existing columns I noticed that they are not properly leveled, spacing between bricks in different areas were smaller or bigger. I mentioned, but he said not going to redo it. After laying brick he didn't place column caps, I had to do it myself. When placing on the columns I found that his new laid brick walls were 17 inches in one sides while 17.5 in others. My caps are 17 inch, thus his laid brick was sticking out of the cap by half inch. He didn't manage to measure the cap size to adhere the laid column bricks to it. 3. DOESN'T GUARANTEE HIS JOB OR STAY BEHIND HIS PROMISES. After aforementioned issue with his improperly built column walls that were also laid uneven I asked to redo the work so column walls won't stick out over the caps. Unfortunately he said you can put it nicely yourself but I will not redo it. 4. DOESN'T ADHERE TO THE AGREEMENT CHANGING TERMS TO OWN CONVENIENCE. We agreed that he will get $1000 cash deposit to start the job and get another $2000 cash upon finishing building bricks on top of my columns and some prep work for porch walls. He received $1000 but didn't finish with columns and prep work for walls when he said I need $3000 cash now instead of $2000 and will come back in 10 days to finish what we agreed earlier. I demanded to stick to our initial agreement, he decided to leave the job in the middle with nothing completed. 5. DOESN'T GIVE RECEIPTS OR ANY WRITTEN CONFIRMATIONS. I would be ok with that knowing that he is honest man and does what he said will do. He offered to do cash deal to make a cheaper work but was not comfortable to get into paperwork, even to get a check instead of cash. As a result I made a mistake giving him $1000 cash but not getting a receipt as now I have to redo his work and it will cost me even more. 6. NOT CONSISTENT WITH THE JOB PROCESS. He started early May 2022 and never worked consistently day after day. He was coming to the job site for 2-4 hours only when he wanted to work, that was dragging 3 day work (as he said that ahead of time) to 9 days. As I was not home during day time he was coming around 1-2pm working for 2-4 hours while I was away. By the time I was getting home he was not there anymore. While patiently waiting it all turned out to give him too much freedom to work on his own rules. If you think of getting a good mason contractor for your project try to avoid these issues and particularly Eric's services. I will update this review if anything will change in a good way or worse. read more
