If you're looking for an estimate for masonry work, don't call them! They charge an estimate fee of $250 just for coming for the estimate!

Unfortunate experience with Susan and Greg at Jones Masonry where they gave my 80-year-old mom a quote (for a project she then gifted me for Christmas) and then through a series of curt, one-line emails I was informed that they changed their service area 45 days later (which included the holiday break) with no communication and will now not do the job. "Hello we no longer work in [my town]" and "he is not available or interested". Their quote technically expired after 30 days, so no issues and wouldn't work with them now anyway, but would have appreciated a more proactive communication and some appreciation for the fact that their service area changed with no notice (and they knew they had an outstanding bid in the area they no no longer serve). For sure they get to take whatever work they want, but my experience was overall not great. read more

Should have placed this review months ago. Due to the heavy storms water was leaking inside out gas fireplace insert. It was determined that the chimney was the source of the leak. Greg quickly repaired the damaged chimney. Was very professional, quick and reasonable. Greg Jones was recommended to us by California Window & Fireplace . They installed the gas fireplace insert. Greg is very knowledgeable as been doing Masonry work for many many years. I highly recommend Jones Masonry for any masonry work read more

If only I could give more than 5 stars... Greg, Matt, Susan and crew have been a pleasure to work with to bring my design to life. After a ton of time between my wife and me going through photos and hours and hours of me sketching up the exact design and dimensions I wanted in Sketchup for our backyard fireplace, the Jones Masonry team more than delivered. They put up with a couple changes along the way. They delivered on service before the job and all the way through it. Greg was fantastic from the first meeting and helped us decide on exact materials. Susan was great with coordination and answering emails, and Matt was a Rockstar for the build! I seriously could not be happier with how this project turned out. They finished today and I'll add some pictures after the mortar dries a little. I'd use them again in a heartbeat... (actually, I will be for another part of this project hopefully soon). read more

Jones Masonry - Perfect! - General Contractors Near Me

Jones Masonry reduced the height of our chimney. It was weak and could be moved just by applying pressure to the side. Jones Masonry was recommended to us by our home inspector. I was very happy with the service they provided from the initial inquiry call and final job. I would definitely recommend them! read more

No show! I spoke with Greg on the phone and made an appointment to inspect a chimney leak. On the day of, I called to confirm and he said that he was on his way. But he never showed up, never called, and didn't respond to my messages afterwards. So unprofessional! read more

Amazing work and great people as well. They were very professional, kind, timely, communicated effectively with me and my husband daily about the project and the finished porch is absolutely beautiful. I highly recommend Jones and his team! read more

I had a bay window installed at my house by California Window & Fireplace. We need brick laid outside to match what we had after we were finished. Greg was on time, provided a bid and scope of work. Very professional. When they arrived to do the work, they were very professional and cleaned up everyday leaving my property spotless. I would highly recommend this company to friends and family if they need any masonry work. Thanks Greg! read more

Greg and his crew of employees are amazingly talented Mason's. After spending several months seeking a mason I was delighted to find Greg! His knowledge is priceless, he met me at the stone yard and advised us on which products to choose, which was priceless. He and his team were consistently on time, meticulous with each days cleanup, installed a zip wall to protect our homes other living areas, and were pleasant to have in my home each day. I love our fireplace, and it truly is the star item in my home that everyone complements. read more

All I can say is wow!! Our project came out amazing. I was referred to Jones Masonry by another one of his customers. After seeing his work, I contacted Greg Jones (owner). He came out, looked at what we had wanted, and gave us an estimate. Although we were late to sign the contract, he was able to fit us. It was a sigh of relief, as he was booked for months. He estimated the project to be completed in 10-15 day. It was done in approximately 9, well ahead of schedule. As you can see in the pics, the project consisted of an interior wall, exterior wall, walkway, and patio. We had provided Greg with a lot of very old brick, whole and halves.. Since we didn't have enough whole brick for the whole project, Greg recommended assembling them in a "flemish bond" using all the whole and halves. It was much more labor intensive, as it required more cutting and bonding. It was exactly what we wanted for that "historic" look. Greg was there almost everyday to make sure everything was on track, and when he wasn't, his son was there laying the brick himself. The site was cleaned everyday as if they were never there. After the project was done, the entire work area was immaculate, more than what I had ever expected. As far as the workmanship, we could never be happier. Look at the pics for yourself. During the entire 11 months of our home construction, we dealt with a lot of contractors. Greg and his team were by far the most professional and trustworthy. I really can't say enough good things about they workmanship and the manner that it was completed. Again, just look at the pictures. Thank you Greg for the great job you and your guys did. We are very grateful!! If you would like more pics, please send me a message and I'll happy to provide you with more detail pics. read more

My wife and I wanted to update the face of our very plain looking fireplace with stacked stone veneer and an electric fireplace insert. Greg Jones and company came highly recommended, and now we know why. From start to finish, the team that worked on our project was professional, courteous, and responsive--they answered all of our questions and addressed all of the concerns we had. Greg also had great suggestions for the design that we hadn't even considered before, and he checked in every morning during the project to make sure we were satisfied with how things were looking. When I do home improvement projects myself, I am very detailed-oriented, and I was very pleased to see that Greg, Bob, and Francisco were just as meticulous as me (if not more so) when it came to getting every piece and part just right. The hearth, fireplace, mantel, and stone all look fabulous! We will definitely be calling Greg again for any future projects requiring masonry work. read more

Was so pleased with the quality of work by Matt and the crew. We had a project that included river rock veneer on the front of a BBQ as well as full rock pillars for each of our outdoor kitchen posts, and included capstones with natural rock. The team came in and was METICULOUS about how the job turned out. We couldn't be happier with the results! read more

Jones Masonry - General Contractors Near Me

It is really nice having someone in the trades who is licensed, professional, reliable and has good follow through. I have had plenty of contractors (other trades) during my remodel who were unreliable or poor workmanship; not Jones Masonry. Greg removed our fireplace facing, hearth / mantel that was built by a general contractor who did not build it to code. It was set to be ready for a gas insert, but the general contractor built it out of WOOD! It was a fire hazard as well as not structurally sound. It all had to be removed because the original general contractor failed to hold up his end of the agreement settled at a mediation with the city. We hired Jones Masonry to correct the work of the original contractor and had a great experience. The scope of the work was detailed out in a written estimate. Greg provided me with his schedule and when to expect the project to begin. Cost of the work was clearly stated in his estimate. He converted the "disaster" back into a wood burning fireplace, helped order the facing, sheet rocked and textured the walls to match existing texture, and installed a new damper which had been removed, bringing everything back to code. The project could not have gone smoother from start to finish. I highly recommend Jones Masonry. Greg is very competent at what he does. An additional note: the demo and clean up crew did a great job too. End result: Love it. read more

Highly recommend for brick work. They were able to repair my brick doorstep and steps, they were even able to use the original bricks for me. On time and completed the work in one day. They give free estimates. read more

I am a residential realtor and have been using them for years for chimney inspections and stonework. Need a chimney inspection? No problem! Need a rebuild? No problem. Greg and Susan have been a great help to me and my clients chimney/stonework needs. Always accessible, always ready to answer questions. read more

I found Jones Masonry on YELP, after I had a chimney fire that demolished the top half of my stucco chimney. This required a re-build of the wooden frame & chimney walls, re-fitting of the metal pipe, a complete fabrication of a new metal cap, stucco texturing, paint matching, patching of the cracked fireplace back-wall, as well as repairing a wall inside the house (where the fire department had to cut a hole to ensure that the fire didn't proceed into the house walls). All of the texturing on the wall as well as the stucco looks natural and the paint matching was perfect. Greg was extremely professional, straightforward, and wanted to make sure that I was satisfied with the job. He even provided extra matched paint for the wall and chimney. Jones Masonry was quite busy this season, as they were pretty booked with scheduled jobs when I first inquired, but it was worth the slight wait to have the work done by a true professional who knows chimneys. read more

We hired Jones Masonry after getting a few quotes for our remodel; Greg seemed to be the most knowledgeable and the price was right. Our home had a dual fireplace in the kitchen + living room that we needed removed so we could install cabinets. Greg and his crew were on time every day and completed the demo work quickly. They also removed the very dated stone work from our entry and Greg told me he could also help when I'm ready to remove the other dated stone work in the future. I've already recommended them to our neighbors and would recommend them to anyone else needing masonry work in the San Jose area. read more

Greg was recommended by my Realtor. I had Greg come out after my house purchase to check that the double-sided gas fireplace was in working order and that the chimney was properly venting. He showed up ahead of his appointment (but was careful not to disturb me too early). He checked everything out from the firebox to the roof and gave the unit a thumbs-up. He also showed me how to operate the controls and gave me some pointers on things to watch for. It was an A+ experience. read more

I can't say enough about the company. They were expert in their knowledge (in this case a chimney remodel), professional in their work, and fair priced. The crew was courteous and very conscientious about cleaning up after each day. Also, Greg (Jones) was so helpful and flexible working around some DIY work that was also happening. We greatly appreciated his and the final project! read more

chimney experts in the area. Greg was very professional, easy going and flexible with us. He made it work according to our schedule, gave us a quote and got to work. The day he was supposed to work, our electrician had to take off power, so he came back in the day with his generator and made it work. His men, Ray and Francisco were great to interact and talk to. Our chimney was rocking a little, Greg advised us and we capped it off a bit. read more

This review is long overdue. I worked with Jones Masonry last spring to reface the front of our garage. Greg and Susan were just wonderful to work with! Very competitive qoute and super hard to find very skilled masons in this area. Bob was the main Mason for our job and he did an excellent job of transforming the front of our garage. They banged the job out in 2 days and took great care to ensure to keep our driveway clean. I will definitely be recommending them out for masonry work in our area and reaching out again when we decide to freshen up the brick work in front of our property. read more

Greg and Ray were a pleasure to work with! We had some stone work replaced after a faulty EV charger needed to be removed and the stone beneath repaired. The work was priced fairly and the job was perfectly done! We would recommend this company for sure! read more

I left Jones Masonry two message (was after their normal hours at around 4:30PM) and no one ever returned my calls. They originally di an inspection on my house and the inspection seemed fair, price seemed fair (although there was an out of area service charge but my area is included in their map here on Yelp). Not even going to bother calling again. Maybe the job is too small for them but that should have been told from the beginning. read more

We found Jones Masonry via Yelp. We needed a large ($10k-15k) brick job done on the front of our home that included doubling the size of our front porch, laying a wide, long walkway across the middle of the yard out to the sidewalk, and building a garden wall around the entire front yard perimeter. We called Jones Masonry and two other places that were all highly rated on Yelp. Greg showed up ON TIME for the estimate (first win). He was very patient with us as we explained our plans to him. He walked us through the various things to consider about our goals that we hadn't thought of. I had several specific questions about the foundation work, re-grading of our porch (it was sloped incorrectly), and how the brick would ultimately be laid. Greg was patient and thoroughly answered all of my questions. After receiving the bid, we selected Jones Masonry as their pricing was competitive and we liked the answers Greg had provided to our specific questions much better than the other estimators that we spoke to. One example: the other guy wanted to to use half-bricks on the porch and lay them on top of some tile that was previously installed on our porch. Jones Masonry told us the tile needed to be removed in order for proper adhesion and recommended full bricks for the best visual quality of the porch step. These subtle yet very important things gave us confidence that Greg and Jones Masonry knew their stuff. They did not disappoint us after the job got started. They were on time each day, work progressed as promised, and the finished product looks amazing. We had some mid-project scope changes and Greg was accommodating and more than fair with the incremental costs associated with our changes. The crew was clean, very respectable, and my wife never felt uncomfortable being home alone with them working in our yard. At one point I had some uncertainty about whether irrigation pipes had been laid under the concrete foundation and Greg was willing to speak to me late in the evening to assure me that they were properly installed as we had agreed upon. After speaking with him I grabbed a shovel to double check and sure enough everything was exactly as he said it was. Nothing I asked for throughout the entire project was forgotten. This is quite an accomplishment in my opinion as I am used to reminding contractors of things over and over (and over) to ensure they get it right. The finished project looks amazing. They ended up using close to 2,000 bricks on the job. The solid concrete foundation for the brick walkway and porch is several inches thick and I bet I could park a semi-truck on it and the brick would not move. We enjoyed getting to know Greg, Matt, and his entire crew and would happily recommend Jones Masonry to our friends, family, and fellow Yelpers. read more

It's a very patriot and established business, with the father & son expertise in perfectionists as it's such an amazing skill to master, especially when the arts is suppose to be so naturally unique per aesthetic qualities in stone work. Any home or business would only profit wisely in putting these men to the task! Hoping their mason business simply ROCKS ON...adore! Each generation with utmost appreciation to mainstream economical growth...Wonderful Jones! read more

My husband built the structure for a new mailbox but didn't feel like he had the experience to tile it. Greg's son worked our job, along with another of their crew members. They've done a lot of mailboxes and knew exactly how to cut the veneers so the seams were staggered and all edges were finished. Honestly, the mailbox is so nice-looking now that our house (which is badly in need of a paint job) looks dingy in comparison. We especially appreciate that they came back to grout the seams for the mailbox door so it was watertight. Very nice to work with and definitely on our recommended contractors' list. They have a waiting list, so you probably want to call them sooner than later when planning your project. The other thing we learned is that some cities require permits for even a structure as tiny as a mailbox. Something to check on beforehand! read more

To start out, Greg came by to look at the extent of the work and gave a very detailed estimate of the work and the price. It was great to know the details and how much each part would cost. Matt (Greg's son), Ray and Francisco did an awesome job. We had them build raised flower beds in our parkway and backyard. They wore masks even though everything was outside. They were very professional and efficient. I would definitely have them do my next masonry work and recommend them to anybody. read more

Greg was recommended by NextDoor and I couldn't be happier with the results of our fireplace project. We changed the scope of the project a few times, but Greg and his team were accomodating despite the project ballooning. They were polite, transparent, easy to work with and reliable. I recommend Greg to anyone who has a fireplace project! read more

Susan, Greg, and Ray did an excellent job of scheduling and repairing our prefab fireplace. Ray did the work, and did a thorough job of replacing a major damaged panel, and mortaring cracks in our fireplace floor, at no attentional cost. We don't hesitate on referring Jones. You'll really appreciate the work! read more

Two walls of a 25' x 12' red brick planter collapsed because the original builder did not make the walls thick enough 50 years ago. I found two masons through Yelp. Greg came up with a great idea on how to rebuild the planter that would save money, so he got the job. It took a month to get on the schedule, but many good contractors are busy so no stars deducted. I'm really pleased with their first-rate brick work. Because they were repairing an existing brick walls, they needed to put in extra effort to match the bricks, the pattern, and the mortar. If they did it wrong, it would be really obvious, and this is in the front of the house. They did it right and it looks great. The new planter has drain holes to help prevent future problems. It's a tiered design that solves the stress problem that caused the original to collapse. Greg's son spent some extra effort to build decorative caps on the corner posts, which look great. I postponed writing this review because the new mortar was initially much darker than the old, but they said that it would lighten up and match after a couple of weeks. It's now two weeks later, and the new and old mortar do match quite well now. Next masonry job I have, they get the first call. read more

We just wanted to thank you for a top notch job and great customer service. Greg and the guys were awesome and we are really happy with their work! read more

Jones Masonry is as good as it gets. Greg, Matt & Ray were wonderful to work with. Listened, made suggestions and was always willing to do anything we wanted. Fabulous attitudes and professionals. We had a front porch & walkway done. They even removed our metal gate/fence for us. The also resurfaced our old Almaden 'fake-rock' fireplace with river rock. Don't knock it til you try it! The outcome is gorgeous. We even have friends considering the same treatment for their fireplace -- and YES, we gave them Greg's number! Jones Masonry provided us an excellent experience and in record time. Both jobs done in one week. We will be calling them again when we are ready to do re-do our back patio. read more

Greg did an awesome job rebuilding a brick garden wall that had shifted. He is very efficient and polite, and does high quality work, so working with him was a pleasure. He arrived on time for the estimate, quickly diagnosed the problem with the old wall (poor footing), and explained well what he'd need to do to fix and answered all of my questions patiently. The estimate was very fair for the work involved and the total cost was the same as the estimate. He scheduled the work right away, and he and his help completed the job very efficiently. He put an emphasis on quality work (e.g. building a much deeper footing to ensure the problem doesn't come back), and also cleaned up well! The new wall looks great, and matches the style of the other half of the original undamaged wall. We're very happy with this experience. read more

Greg and his son are the best in the business. We asked them to bid on a job to (1) apply new stone pavers on top of a slab to extend a pool side patio and (2) apply a stacked natural stone to the face of a preconstructed cinder block wall. Right away their experience showed. We had preselected materials and preordered them. Greg insisted that we bring the materials on site to make sure we where happy before he would finalize his bid. In the back of his mind, he new the product was going to require more labor hours and he wanted to show us some alternatives that would be easier on our budget. First, great decision I made was to listen to his advice. He turned us on to another real stone veneer that was perfect and cut the cost by 25% His son is a perfectionist which is who I want for the job. Mat works diligently to ensure that each stone has a good home and always looks at the job from the perspective of the home owner. Mat alerted us to issues that arose from other contractors work, helped us resolve those issues efficiently and economically. Overall you won't find a better stone mason in the area. Family run makes them even better. Thanks Greg and Matt read more

I am super pleased with Jones Masonry! They did a spectacular job of repairing leaks near my two chimneys on a 1930s home. This home is so old, the gutters are made of redwood, no kidding. They were able to fix some significant cracks in my stucco at the same time, and replace one of my spark arrestors. I got a complete estimate on the sport with the inspection. On the day of repairs, they were on time (early, but waited before ringing my bell, thanks!) got it done quickly and showed me in detail what they had done. I am very happy with them and highly recommend them to others. read more

A car hit our house, the contractor hired by insurance rebuilt the rock facade in the front. I thought it was ok. Then a very hard rain came and water came through the rebuilt wall, into the house. I decided it was time to hire a real mason. That's how I met Greg Jones. From my first contact, to the end... every interaction was professional, expert and kind. It's him and his wife, she scheduled him to come out the next day. He diagnosed the problem, it was clear is lives and breathes masonry. I received a clear estimate. When we agreed, we set the start date and he and his team arrived exactly on time. Everyday they showed up on time and worked hard all day. They put 3 times more water protection into the rebuilt wall, than had been done before. They also took such care to preserve the rocks... they're 60 years old, can't find any more! Each one was painstakingly cleaned and prepared to be utilized again to match the house. I had a contractor doing electrical work at the same time and that contractor had left an open hole in the stucco, Greg spotted the problem and did a beautiful repair, just because "it's the right thing to do." He kept his promise, on-time and on budget. When you call his office, you may get an answering machine. I would advise, don't be turned off by this. To me, it's better than getting someone who sits around answering the phone all day who doesn't know anything. I always got a call back within an hour, until we set the start date. Then I was given Greg's cell phone number and anytime I called, he answered right away. He is also a clear texter. His wife is very adept at digital document signing and all other aspects that made it easy for me to manage the project remotely. I placed my trust in Greg and he respected it and delivered excellent results. I will hire him again for my next project. Not only is his work solid and strong, it's beautiful... he understands the finer details like making all the rocks match existing and has terrific skills when it comes to making things match. read more
