The whole project ran extremely smooth, everything was well coordinated, from delivering the material to the removal of the dirt and there were a lot of dirt. As for specifics, the base was to the thickest as promised (in some spots much more than promised) and packed as hard as a rock. They used only the pavers that were in good quality and toss any that had defects. They don't cut corners; they even used the most expensive polymeric sand to fill in the full gap. The team cleaned up really well, picked up all the small pieces and return everything to its original spots. For those with water problems in their backyard, you will not find a better team out there in leveling. Vinny from Scott's team is a master leveler. They are not the type that just level as you go. They came in with laser levelers to make sure the pitch is perfect. My property has one of the worst water issues because my backyard is pitched toward the house and one side is higher than the other. For those that are more technical, it was a very complex leveling situation that requires multiple variations of pitch to get the water flowing just right. I truly believe an expert leveler could have done this job. Scott took great care of me from the start to end. Scott's team turned my Jungle backyard into an odyssey. I would have to say working with Scott is like working with an old-school craftsman; honest, reliable and quality. This is extremely rare these days. I'm tremendously glad I found Genstar and not one of those magazine businesses. I highly recommendation Genstar. I'm 100% sure you will find them as amazing as I have. Thank you Scott/Vinny/Mike/Christian and I hope to work with them again soon. ***************************************** Scott's (斯科) 大師將我嘅叢林後院變成咗一個豪華嘅後院。 成個項目運行非常順利，一切都協調得好好，由運送材料到清除污垢。 至於細節，基地係最厚嘅承諾同硬度，佢哋用最昂貴嘅聚郃物砂嚟填補空白。 佢哋只使用質素好嘅石，並驅逐任何有缺陷嘅石。 團隊清理得非常好，執到咗所有嘅小碎片，將所有嘢都歸還畀原來嘅位置。 對於嗰啲有水問題喺佢哋嘅後院，你唔會搵到一個更好嘅水平大師。 我嘅屋有嚴重嘅水問題，因為我嘅後院朝房子傾斜。 係一個非常複雜嘅平滑情況，需要多種音高變化才能令水正常流動。 Scott's team Vinny(文尼) 係一個頂級水平大師，佢解決咗呢個難題。 Scott (斯科) 特由頭到尾照顧我。 我不得不說，與斯科特一起工作就好似一個老派嘅工匠： 誠實，可靠和質素。 目前係罕見到極嘅。 我好开心我搵到咗 Genstar，而唔係嗰啲雜誌業務之一。 我強烈推薦根斯塔。 我百分之百肯定你會發現佢哋好可靠。 我希望好快可以再次與佢哋合作。 read more

We do not usually post reviews, but had to take the opportunity to post about our positive experience with Genstar Masonry. We recently completed a full back and front yard demo/renovation project. Genstar went above and beyond from start to finish. They discussed our vision for the project and carried it to fruition. Their patience and responsiveness in answering questions was unmatched. Mike and Scott were a pleasure to work with and did everything they could to ensure we were happy. They helped us plan a design within our budget and began the job by the agreed upon start date . Their crews showed up on time each day as promised. All workers were respectful and beyond hard-working, willingly working through a 90 degree heat wave in order to stay on track! Christian, the lead mason, communicated with the homeowner throughout the job and was able to solve unexpected circumstances that came up. Each day, the owners were on site, making sure the job was progressing as planned. Genstar coordinated with their electrician, Adam, who produced reasonably priced, quality work as well. Genstar had the full job finished within one week and it looks amazing! Upon completion, the crew cleaned up and even power washed the street! The company owners completed a final walkthrough with the homeowner at the conclusion to ensure everything was to satisfaction. Having completed a full dormer in the past, we have worked with many companies. Trust us when we say that Genstar's service and workmanship is unsurpassed. Do not hesitate, Genstar is the company you want completing your masonry projects! read more

Scott stopped by a few days ago to give me a price quote. He was extremely professional and patience. He spent the time explaining the process and also discussing options. Not like other contractors who wants you to fit into what they need. Scott makes sure he meets your expectations. I'm very technical so listening to him review the process allows me to know that he is doing all the right stuff for me. Many contractors couldn't even tell you how many inches of under gravel. I was so comfortable with him I signed the contact the next day and he delivered the pavers in 24 hours. Working with him feels like working with people in the old days, trust, value and quality. Looking forward to starting the project soon. I will be back to provide everyone an update when it's done. Good contractors deserves recognition because they are super hard to come by. Stay tune. read more

Everything about Genstar Masonry is first class. You can depend upon Scott and his crew to work with pride and do an excellent job! And everyone is so pleasant, too! I was beginning to take on water in my basement and I wasn't sure how to solve my water problem. Genstar came up with a drainage system that takes the water away from my house into a storage tank located under the grass. They waterproofed the outside and inside of my house. My laundry room which used to look quite dingy has been given a new life. The walls and floor look great. The large driveway outside was paved with concrete and bordered with pavers. It looks so Good! This is my second job with Genstar. Last year they put in a patio and porch. Did a great job then, also. You can count on Genstar to do an excellent job. I highly recommend them. read more

It just rained so don't look at the leaves and water stains, they did a great job with the patio they did an excellent job with the negative grade to slope the water away from the house, really like this style of pavers from Cambridge. Scott, Vinny and their team ran into some Road bumps from the ground, but were quickly able to find ways to fix the horrible slope and grade in my backyard and the side of the garage. I got two other quotes that were higher so I was very happy with the price. Definitely recommend these guys. Scott was very professional and answered all of my questions and needs, he came by multiple times throughout the whole process and even picked out the papers with us in person at a Mason yard. Thanks a lot guys!! read more

We needed a new driveway & front path done but weren't sure about design, color or choices & called Mike for an estimate. He was very informative, made great recommendations & took into consideration all of our concerns. His workers take a lot of pride in what they do & they all were polite, extremely neat & professional. The colors & style of our new driveway & front walk which Michael had suggested suit our house perfectly & we are extremely happy with the results. We are grateful to Michael & recommend Genstar Masonry without any reservations whatsoever! Tim Q read more

I hired Genstar based on a recommendation and am very satisfied with their work. They were accommodating when I changed design plans and worked to accomplish my project to my satisfaction. Even more so, Mike, the owner of Genstar is unhappy with the way my asphalt driveway came out and is going to remove and replace the asphalt at no cost to me. That says a lot about their credibility in addressing the customers concerns and issues beyond their control. I recommend Mike Gentile and their team. read more
