Regardless that Milton provided us the best quote, the work Milton and his team had done for the entry stoop and walkway pavers is art piece. He is reliable, responsible, and creativity. He and his team were always looking for better solutions for any challenges during the process, and finished the project in a timely manner that was way beyond our expectations. The work they do is not only about the look but also thinking beyond the structure, craftsmanships, and Professional. BTW, I like all of their professional power tools, especially the masonry table saw that ensure the precise of every block cut.

Let me start by saying this is by far the best home improvement experience I've had!! I wanted to…read moreredo my entire backyard and driveway since I've been working from home due to COVID and spend so much time in my yard now. I had a few other companies come and give estimates but they were lacking in the design area. Devin and his team really impressed me with their professionalism, creativity, and respect for my property. I did not have to chase them as to when they would be showing up as I have with other contractors. His estimate was very detailed and was easy to understand with breakdown and description. His 3D rendering was extremely impressive and really was representative of what he was able to create. Dan was present every single day to get the men set up and to do a check-in with me to make sure I was happy with the process from start to finish. Each day the crew left my property neat, never leaving garbage behind, and were very mindful to never leave my gates open due to me having 2 dogs. As for the work... I was unsure what I wanted exactly but knew I didn't want a cookie cutter yard like most of Long Island. Dan and Devin both worked with me to pick out the perfect colors and showed me how to best utilize the space I have. With landscaping, they were able to give me more privacy and brighten up my entire yard with beautiful perennials. The hot tub area they created with an outdoor television and pergola will definitely be used all year round. The outdoor BBQ and bar area will be the highlight of my outdoor parties! My favorite touch though was the beautiful pool and surrounding stone with an automatic pool cover which means I don't have to worry about my pups accidentally falling in when I'm not outside with them. I really can't speak highly enough of Devin and Dan's work, talent, and professionalism.

Our street has become increasingly busy making it difficult to back up during rush hour. We thought…read morea circular driveway would be a good solution and interviewed a few masonry firms - who either said it wasn't doable in our small space or disappeared altogether. Based on Yelp reviews we then called Devin from Flawless Masonry & Landscape who told us a circular driveway was absolutely doable! We were so impressed with Devin's design skills (including clear scaled digitized plans) and experience that we hired him on the spot. Plus Flawless's pricing was lower than other quotes we got. Icing on the cake. Then the pandemic hit so the job was delayed (NY orders), but Flawless came through after re-opening and did a superb job for us. The new driveway is both beautiful and functional, even our crabby neighbors like it! It was a big job but Flawless's skilled and friendly crew managed to finish in a week. Tiffany from the office was super responsive and polite throughout the project, keeping me in the loop at all times. Thank you Flawless for your integrity, talent and hard work!

1 Star - Defective Work, No Contract, Avoided Responsibility…read moreI hired Long Island Mason & Concrete Corp in June 2024 to pour a concrete patio for $5,900. The experience was a nightmare from start to finish. The Problems: The contractor requested payment in cash and never provided a written contract, which is required by New York law for jobs over $500. Within one week of the pour, two slabs began flaking and scaling. I immediately contacted the contractor. The work was done on a 100-degree day. When I raised concerns about the extreme heat affecting the concrete, the contractor acknowledged "this is the result of extreme heat" but refused to take responsibility as the professional who should have managed weather conditions or rescheduled. Months of Delays: Instead of promptly addressing the defects, the contractor stalled for months. When he finally offered to replace the two damaged slabs, he demanded I sign a liability waiver and warned the new concrete wouldn't match the color of the existing slabs - meaning I'd have a permanently mismatched patio due to his defective work. I offered a reasonable cash settlement to resolve the issue. He refused. I had no choice but to file a complaint with Nassau County Consumer Affairs. Official Violations: Consumer Affairs cited the contractor for multiple violations, including failure to provide a written contract (violation 202360, originally a $2,500 fine). He only agreed to a settlement after facing thousands in fines and potential license suspension. Ongoing Defects: After settling, two additional slabs developed structural cracks running completely across the slabs from joint to joint. All four slabs now show defects, confirming my original concern that the entire pour was compromised. Bottom Line: For a $5,900 job, I received a defective patio that required a 7-month battle through Consumer Affairs to get partial compensation. The contractor operates without proper contracts, pours in extreme conditions without adequate precautions, and avoids responsibility when problems arise. I strongly recommend hiring a licensed contractor who provides written contracts, follows proper procedures, and stands behind their work. This is not that contractor.

They really helped us get the most out of our yard. We still can't believe that we were able to fit a 16' by 20' Inground Pool plus a 7' Sun deck for water-chair lounging. They helped us design a beautiful 12' flowerbox feature (along 1-side of the Pool) with stone pedastals on either end to support our magnificent Pentair Lighted-Glass Water Bowls ... and in between them, a 4' Sheer Descent waterfall! They also saved us precious back yard space by installing all of our Pool Equipment in the back corner of our 2-car garage, adjacent to the Pool. We saw more than 7 Pool design companies before making our choice, but Gappsi was the ONLY company that exclusively uses natural stone in their work (instead of cement pavers)... and at a very reasonable price, by comparison. Our goal was to create the look and feel of a 5-star hotel resort, so we surrounded our modern spa-like pool with a creamy-white natural Marble Stone throughout the entire yard and added a crisp sparkling white accent stone around the flowerbox which houses the 4' waterfall & two 24" glass water bowls. They also rebuilt our 2 sets of outdoor steps, re-laid the cement floor in our 2-car garage, put in a dry-well for proper drainage and back-washing, laid beautiful natural blue limestone down our entire 60-foot driveway as well as in front our our 2-car Garage and BBQ area. Our driveway was edged with a beautiful large Belgian Block to give it all a crisp & pristine finished look. Finally, they surrounded 2 sides of our pool with beautiful 6' tall Arbourvides to complete the serine Spa-like atmosphere. This stunning Pool and backyard surround continie to blow our family & friends away, every time they visit! And, with the added LED Color Lighing in & around the Pool, House & Garage, and including the amazing outdoor sound-system we installed ... we truly feel like we are always on vacation at a luxurious 5-star vaction resort, and all within a few short steps from our home!! We are very thankful to the entire Gappsi team for their professionalism and their high-caliber work and attention to detail Kudos for a spectacular job, well done!! -Corey & Sandra Seaford, NY
