Michael and his talented and highly efficient workers revamped my 1,300 square foot patio. The project included pulling up the existing bluestone pavers, which were over 15 years old. I really loved them and wanted to incorporate them back into the patio design. Mike came up with a beautiful functional design and created two separate 10 x 10 entertaining areas using the existing bluestone which he first power washed and then set into a 3" cement base. His workers meticulously cut the bluestone and set a trim around the whole patio. They also had to remove an old stone grill that was falling apart. Once it was removed, they repaired the stone retaining wall. Additionally, the property needed to be graded so that the flow of water sloped properly away from the home. On the side of the house, they poured a 20' concrete slab to house our new oil tanks and the central air conditioning unit. That part of the house sits low so they dug a 2' x 4' french drain with velt liner and filled it with bluestones gravel to eliminate any build-up of water. Our walk path from the patio to side of the house was graded and then bluestone stepping-stones were layed into 3/4 blue stone gravel. Mike and his crew did an unbelievable job on our pathway, side of house French Drain and concrete slab and the backyard patio. The crew came timely everyday and worked full days. They were neat and cleaned up everyday . Mike's estimate was very competitive, the best we found and I cant say enough about the quality of his work. I love my backyard now it's really beautiful and I look forward to working with Mike and his crew again. read more

Michael was suggested to us by our local Masonary, which I was originally a little hesitant about. However the second he showed up at my door, he did not just help us brainstorm ideas, us all his creativity, and make incredible suggestions, he also educated us! He saw some paper sticking out from behind one of the poorly placed pavers, that the original person who did our front stairs and porch used literal garbage, (think kitchen waste and dirty diapers) to fill in the original stoop. Michael was patient, and understanding with the start date, payment agreements and made us feel like we were in the best hands! Michael, Alex and the team were so meticulous on every detail, taking the lights off, and moving them until I was happy with their exact location. Their was not an ounce of dread regarding the amount of work involved, and the never-ending amounts of debris. The level of professionalism is off the charts. Everything down to last minute changes was accepted with a smile even though it required returning to the Masonary more times on Michaels part. We were so happy with his work, that we are now doing a stage two to the project and having Michael and his crew install a basketball court, and walkway to the back of the house. We have given his number to countless friends and neighbors for all their masonary needs and can't wait to continue working with him! I wish their was a third project we could do! read more

I asked Michael to bid on a project that involved fixing a front and back stoop that had fallen into disrepair. Unlike most of the other contractors I had contacted, Michael was very responsive and knowledgeable. He was upfront about his work circumstances and backlog, which affected his ability to schedule a personal visit for an estimate. Once we had the estimate scheduled he showed up as promised and uncovered things of which I was unaware that needed to be addressed. He was honest and fair in pricing the work, and was flexible in terms of our needs for getting it done. He was even willing to throw in the cost of building a small dryer vent cover near the front stoop. In terms of pricing, his estimate for both stoops was only a little more than others wanted for only the back stoop. Michael's crew showed up on time and completed their work effectively and efficiently, cleaning up everything before leaving. The quality of the work they did is evident from the before and after pictures I will post if this site allows them. If you need masonry work of any kind done, and are looking for a company that takes pride in its work, is fair in its pricing, cares about the customer, and is dependable in completing the project as scheduled, then you really need to ask Michael for a quote. His pricing will be competitive and you will appreciate his work quality standards. read more

I always like to write a review when I receive exceptional service! I was beyond pleased with Masonry Repairs by Michael! The repair work is pure perfection and the price was right!! Little back story- we receiving a couple of recommendations, as to how to repair our back stoop, along with competitors price quotes. A lot of shady companies out there. We knew we didn't have to look any further after meeting Mike Aquino, owner of Masonry Repairs by Michael. Mike explained how exactly he would fix the stoop and honestly was just an all around honest guy! Felt like we knew him for years by the time he finished with the estimate. We decided to have him repair our front stoop as well. We agreed on the two best days to complete the job. Workers came on time, were professional, and completed the work much early than I had expected. Mike's crew were kind and extremely neat throughout the process. I am very impressed with the beautiful job they did. My stoops look brand new, amazing and even more important - they are now safe and sturdy. FYI- Masonry Repairs by Michael was also the the most reasonable price quote we received. I will definitely call Masonry Repairs by Michael; hopefully this summer, to redo my entire back patio. Thanks Mike and crew! See ya soon! Kim & Joe Weiland read more

We recently had a gazebo installed in our backyard and had a great experience with the team from Masonry repairs by Michael inc. From start to finish, they were professional, punctual, and extremely hardworking. The installation was done carefully and efficiently, and the final result completely transformed our outdoor space.

They made sure to double check with us for a final say before things were made permanent. We're so happy with how everything turned out and would definitely recommend them to anyone looking to install a gazebo or outdoor structure!

Five stars isn't enough.!!! I can't say enough positive things about Masonry Repairs by Michael. We had Mike come to our house where he gave us an honest opinion & a great price. The first job we hired them for was our back walkway & patio. Alex & his men worked so quickly and cleanly. Michael & his team were on time, cleaned up perfectly and their work is incredible. We were such satisfied customers that a few months later we had Mike back to give us a price on widening our one car drive to two, building a back step to the patio & redoing our front walk. High quality work, reasonable prices, and amazing customer service! If you are looking for Masonry work no need to search further. Call Masonry Repairs by Michael and enjoy your new addition read more

Many thanks to Michael and his team for fixing my front steps. It's a challenge trying to find the right team and I wish I found them sooner. They took their time explaining the options we can explore, didnt force the issues of what needed to be done, and patiently answered our questions. They were able to negotiate at a reasonable price point and finished the job in a timely manner. Micheal followed up to make sure I was satisfied. He also went above what was needed and even helped me find someone to assist with my railings. The team is very personable and puts value over volume. My wife and I are very happy at the final product. THANK YOU to Michael, James, Alex and the rest of the team for an exceptional job and professionalism. read more

Thank you Mike and the entire Crew, your workmanship and professionalism speaks for itself ! Phase 1 of our project came out amazing !!! We rebuilt our front and back stoops in brick and Blue Stone, as well as replacing our 200 sq ft concrete patio. Mike presented us with a few option to finish the patio and we chose to use 6x9 bluestone lend pavers to tie it in with the stoop. The crew finished up the work within a week, were very clean and organized (they made sure to keep it safe for my 3 little ones). Phase II is scheduled for next spring and we cannot wait !!! We would highly recommend you to anyone. If you have any masonry needs please look no further. Thank you again, couldn't be happier with the work. read more

We hired Michael and his team to install a Ledgestone Smooth 3-piece backyard patio, a new driveway, and a slab, and I can't sing their praises enough. We had existing grading and drainage issues. A few contractors bid for the job, but none took the time to educate us on what was needed to complete our installation correctly until Michael and Alex arrived. The team was on time, courteous, and gave white glove service on the final cleanup. The wife loves our new backyard space, and we're definitely looking to have them back to redo our front porch this summer. When you find good contractors, you recommend them, and Masonry Repairs By Michael is one of the good ones. read more

They are masters of their craft! Look no further!! Michael, Teddy and crew are professional, hardworking and care about the outcome of the job as much as you do. Our 23 year-old, three platform stoop and walkway pavers were broken, sunken and uneven due to years of deterioration. Masonry Repairs by Michael meticulously repaired everything to look as good as when they were first put in. We trusted that it would be improved but were beyond thrilled at how unbelievable it actually turned out. Awesome job by all! We can't thank you enough and are so happy to give you our highest recommendation. Now on to the backyard... Denise and Tony read more

I highly recommend Masonry Repairs by Michael. I had water leaking under the foundation, had multiple estimates, Michael came out on top. Best price, great job, very thorough, professional, respectful workers, cleaned up afterwards. They dug down outside, waterproofed, came inside and sealed the walls. They also dug a dry well outside with a leader from the gutter to bring the water away from the foundation. They also installed window wells around my basement windows. They were punctual, reliable. I can't say enough good things. I'm having them come back for other masonry jobs. You won't go wrong with Michael. read more

I can't give enough stars to this company and the owner! I needed the entire front of my home redone; a brick retaining wall rebuilt in addition to the brick front steps and porch. Michael came to my home, advised what he think should be done, gave a fair quote, scheduled the work for an approximate time and completely delivered. It looks brand new!! The work was meticulous and I'm only sorry I didn't use this company to build it originally! The customer service is truly exceptional; Michael was in touch with me for the entire project. Highly recommend this company and their work. read more

I asked Michael for a estimate to do a concrete slab for my pool. He was so knowledgeable about his profession, and completely understood what I wanted. He had also made some suggestions about my project which added a great touch. I was so impressed, I actually gave him some more work that I was planning for the future right away. He was priced right, and definitely knew what he was doing. Him and his crew were very professional, and when they were done, did not leave my house looking like a construction site. I highly recommend Michael and his crew! read more

We got water into our brick home and knew we needed work to get it fixed. After our estimate with Mike, we knew we needed to go with his team. He took the time to inspect our house where the water came in and formulated a well thought out plan. His team was professional and on time every day. Every step of the wat there was clear communication and when additional problems arised (wood damage) they offered us solutions. They did a wonderful job with our repointed bricks, waterproofing, and cement work. Highly recommend. read more

After seeing a neighborhood job done by Michaels, I called Michael and received the same pricing estimate for a 50' retaining wall that another contractor gave me, so I knew he was fair with his prices. He kept me advised of start date. His men came on time every day and worked a full 8 hrs. every day. They went above and beyond with extras to help out with trees and bushes that needed to be removed along the way. Men were polite and neat. Next concrete job that needs to be done, will be to Michaels Masonry repairs read more

I am thrilled with my new patio! Michael was incredibly responsive and proactive to work with. His estimates were aligned with other estimates I received. Michael set himself apart as he made sure to follow up, offer guidance on materials and design (which actually decreased the overall cost of the project), and commit to a project start date that was not months away. The team finished within the planned schedule, and I am very happy with the quality of work. I highly recommend working with Michael and his team. read more

Micheal and his crew did an incredible job on our front walkway, steps and driveway! The infrastructure of my steps and driveway were horrible and collapsing in. Tree roots were pulling up and cracking the cement. They came and they were extremely professional, and their work is impeccable - they were very meticulous about all the details and the finish of the cement and the pavers. I would tell anyone considering this type of work to call and get them to check out your situation to help- they are well worth i read more
