The need: (1) Replace the stairs on a stone wall with cement-based slate-covered stairs and (2) build a cement-based slate-covered planter on the side of the house. The stairs also had to correct a serious water runoff issue. The work was exceptional. The Mottern team knew what they were doing and finished on schedule. We are very pleased with the results and plan to use Mottern Masonry in the future to maintain our large "hardscape" that covers the back and side of our house. read more

We are so over the top pleased with the business exchanges we've had with the owner, Jeff Mottern, as well as with his office manager and the entire crew. Our slate walk was replaced four years ago by Mottern and the crew. Our porch did not match the vibrancy of the walk that Mottern put down. That had been done a good 25 years ago by another company. It was a flat gray, and it was fading and developing unsightly pivots, it was not attractive. Jeff came over to access something on the walk, because he really does honor his five year warranty, and we started talking about the porch rehab, and from there the magic began. As you can see Jeff ordered the same bluestone slates that were used on the walk. Now the porch matches the walk and entire area glows with a new vibrancy that thrills me every time I look at it. On dealing with the company. Jeff is the most responsive company owner I have ever dealt with. Honestly, email him, and the next second he is responding. A totally rare and unparalleled quality in a company today. He is friendly, listens to what the customer is saying, and uses his years of experience and design skill to come up with the perfect plan to execute what the customer has in mind. The Crew: I can't say enough about the crew. They always arrive with a smile and good cheer, a commitment to focusing on the project as if it were their own home. The commitment to detail is astonishing. Each crew member has the skill set to execute the project to perfection, even throwing in some well received advice that the customer might not have thought about. Most of the crew has been with Jeff for years. Some for over 20 years. They are savvy, honest and keep the work site clean and tidy at the end of each day. I enjoyed peeking outside to watch their progress. They were able to install our new porch without damaging our existing siding or the support columns. This left us with no repair work! That was a bonus! A footnote here: Four years ago when we did our front walk, we also had Mottern provide us a back patio. Jeff designed it with creative curves and appeal, instead of a simple square design. We used the stamped concrete method on the patio, which is still beautiful and we use it every day!!! The stamped concrete was made to mimic slate. Mottern can also mimic brick, but we wanted to reflect the front walk. read more

I am incredibly happy with the work that Mottern Masonry Design has done! Mottern Masonry Design's walkway has dramatically improved the front entrance of my home in McLean. It looks even better than I was hoping! I strongly recommend Mottern Masonry Design's work! I am a lawyer and am extremely particular. Jeff and his crew are very nice and easy to work with, and they have made sure I have been happy with the work. The work has been done very quickly and is exceptional. I will definitely be recommending his work to my friends. read more

Couldn't be happier with Mottern Masonry. Communication was quick and easy, scheduling was smooth, and the whole job was done in a day. The quality of the work really stands out, especially the mortar match on the stair repointing, which is spot on. Everything looks seamless. They were organized, left everything clean, and the value for the level of craftsmanship is excellent. Definitely a contractor I'll use again and confidently recommend. read more

I highly recommend Mottern Masonry. Our 45 year old brick front porch was in need of repair or replacement. Our neighbor recommended Mottern. The owner, Jeff, spent time giving us a range of options, from repair to replacement. We realized it would be hard to match the existing bricks to the walkway leading to the house. He asked if we had thought about flagstone with stone on the sides. We realized immediately what a great look that would be. The crew, who were great to work with, has been with Mottern a long time and know their craft. Each day, they left the site clean and orderly. In less than a week, we had a new concrete porch, overlaid with beautiful flagstone and rock siding. And they power washed the brick walkway and regrouted some areas. We are delighted with the finished look. read more

Beautiful craftsmanship - the guys at Mottern Masonry know what they're doing! They worked quickly to complete front walkway and patio and went above and beyond to locate flagstone to repair broken areas in lower patio. They also kept the job site clean at the end of the day - a bonus. Would use again! read more

Had a great experience with Mottern Masonry for my retaining wall. Very high quality work at a very fair price. I initially hired Mottern in 2019 for a pool deck and retaining wall, and their work stands the test of time. I re-hired them this fall, and their same crew came to work on the new project. I think that is always a good sign of a good business. The owner is knowledgeable and will find good options in your price range. read more

When we needed to have our flagstone front walkway replaced, the online reviews led us to Mottern. We haven't been disappointed. Mottern responded quickly to our request for an estimate. Their proposal was very reasonable, and the subsequent work was done skillfully and on-time. Later, when we needed some repairs in a very conspicuous part of the walkway, Jeff Mottern had his team drop by to do the work free of charge and the result is excellent. Highly recommended. read more

Mottern Masonry did a great job repairing/replacing a flagstone porch, steps, and landing. Jeff and Guy were super responsive, the team was oraganized and professional, and everything was done on schedule. This job required all the mortar to be removed and redone, and many flagstones replaced on steps, a landing, and surrounding a landing. They even came back and replaced a new stone after it was evidently gouged when everything dried out. This job was a challenge as the porch and steps weren't built well to begin with years ago. I'd recommend them although they aren't the least expensive. read more

A few years ago I had Jeff Mottern build a ramp entryway for our front entrance. I was delighted with the results then, and so I recently also had them build a stone wall to contain an embankment. I couldn't be more pleased with both projects. Jeff and Guy were professional all the way. read more

The team at Mottern Masonry is amazing. Our stairs struggled to survive a rough winter. They did a wonderful job assessing the situation, explaining what was required and the timeline/process. Everyone we worked with was knowledgeable, thoughtful, and helpful throughout the process. The repair to our stairs looks amazing. Additionally, the team was able to make recommendations for adjacent projects (railings, etc.) to make the whole process of having our stairs repaired seamless. I would recommend them to anyone who wants quality repairs done efficiently and effectively. read more

I highly recommend Mottern Masonry. They did a fantastic job replacing our deteriorating concrete stoop and installing a flagstone walkway. From their initial quick response and quote to the professionalism and artistic quality of the masonry work, Jeff and his team did great work. They showed up on time and worked around the weather. The crew were friendly, courteous and are experts at what they do. They are not the cheapest you can find, but if you want the highest quality work, they are among the best in the area. read more

Whoever from your company calls the new customers should be fired - the guy was extremely rude and reflects so poorly on your company. I requested for a repair request online - got a message (without having any details on my repair needs) that the cost will start from $3900 !! Ok !!! Well -I got a quote form 3 other companies that quoted $900 In any case I called them back as I wanted to check on how much it would be to build a new 6000 sqft driveway ... but when I told him that I was not interested in the repair - his tone changed immediately and became rude ! So next time you are being rude remember that your company lost a $200k project because of the guy being a complete jerk. Lucky for me I was able to tell what kind of people work here in this company - never working with such a company. - do better - be respectful - learn basic manners of how to talk to customers! read more

Design and installation of a flagstone on concrete patio. Mottern did a fantastic job designing and installing a large flagstone-on-concrete patio for us. The work included excavating and leveling the site, pouring and re-enforcing the slab, and selecting and purchasing the stone, brick and other materials. In addition to the patio, Mottern also filled in an approx. 12 sq/ft section of brick wall where a door had been converted to a window. The filled-in brick and mortar matches the original 50-year old wall perfectly. Overall, the entire Mottern crew was prompt, responsive, professional, and very skillful. We would definitely use Mottern again. read more

In 2021, Mottern Masonry installed a 20 x 20 ft stamped concrete patio in my backyard. Half of the patio is under a screen porch. Half is exposed to the elements. This patio was installed in the Spring of 2021. In 2022 the patio showed damage. Pitting. Flaking. Mottern sent a crew to rectify it. Two years later it has failed again. It is only the portion that is exposed to the elements. Mottern will not fix it. They say it is not within their 1 year warranty. So if you before you spend five or ten thousand dollars on a patio, consider this as a possible outcome. read more

This company gave us an estimate that seemed high, then said we had two days to accept their offer or it would be raised by over a thousand dollars. This is a major red flag to me. I have worked in construction for decades. When I declined their offer and then took the time to explain why we made this decision, the owner wrote back that he "didn't care what I thought." Wow. Who writes an email like that? Weird... read more

We needed our front walkway replaced, drainage line buried in addition to a new pad for our sidewalk, Jeff came out and provided us with a couple suggestions for the project in the estimate, along with the information and drawing I needed to provide to the HOA for approval. The crew Jose' and his son-in-law were professional and hard workers. They discovered the ground had eroded beneath the steps, they poured additional concrete to correct the issue. The drainage works great, my wife and I are very pleased with the flagstone walkway that was installed. We have also received many compliments from our neighbors. We recommend Mottern Masonry Design and will use them again for future projects. read more

Jeff was super nice and informative and sold me on the job. We had our porch covered in PA select blue and wrapped with chocolate gray rock, Also had the pavers refreshed with polymer and redid our back area where the facet was near the deck. The crew was polite and did an excellent job. But it is a messy job and leaves a dust film on all the plants and house in general. Just the nature of the job. I don't believe in google reviews because I feel that some of them are fake. Selective FB reviews. I would recommend them as they did a quality job. read more

We were looking to have our asphalt driveway replaced (about 20'x80', IIRC). Jeff came out quickly to give us an estimate, which was at a very good price. Communication was generally very good. The guys came out the next week and got started tearing up the old driveway. They even came out on the weekend to keep working on it (they didn't have to do that!), and we had concrete poured by the next Thursday, perfectly on schedule. The concrete looks great and they took good care of us through the process. There was no untoward upsell, and they've even worked to save us money on other things (sealing, etc.). Everything was done quickly and efficiently. read more

Highly recommend working with this company. We had several others come out to give us estimates on the job and Mottern was the best price and personality! Jeff and Guy were both professional, knowledgeable, and communicated well with us. The crew that came to work on our project was lead by Jose. They were all respectful, friendly, and took pride in their work. We are very pleased by the final product, have recommended them to friends/family, and would use them again. We've had other contractors come through our property to complete other jobs and they've all complimented the job that Mottern did. If other contractors are impressed, you know that you got a good product! The one thing that I would add is that we didn't understand that we would be responsible for painting our foundation once the job was done. Not a big deal at all, but as this was our first concrete project we didn't know what to expect. For as informative as Jeff and Guy were during the planning piece, it was kind of surprising that we weren't walked through the what to expect afterwards part. Also, our yard was a hot mess after they were done. Totally *NOT* their fault. Big machinery + Soaking rains = Deep ruts. Can't be avoided. It just didn't look like the pretty "after" pictures that are posted. Now that the yard has had time to recover, the project looks great! Just a heads up that, if you're like me and expect it to be 100% done when the crew leaves, that's not the case. Mentally prepare yourself for some finishing touches and give the yard time to heal and you'll be so happy. read more
