Stone work came out great! Nick and his team communicated well, left a clean site and the work was done in a timely manner. Thanks again!

contacted Nick to dry-stack Eldorado Stone veneer on the front of my house, and he was professional from the very beginning. He took the time to help match the existing stone on a small section of the house, ensuring everything blended seamlessly. His installation was flawless, and the finished result looks fantastic. Nick's attention to detail, craftsmanship, and professionalism exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for high-quality stone veneer work. read more

Nick was referred to me and we are very happy with the quality of the work done. We have a brick planter that is next to the driveway, and after 30 years of clipping the corners with the car tires, it was falling apart. See for yourself in the attached pictures. read more

We needed a column repaired after a tree branch fell on it, and along with that decided to get our front porch repointed. Nick and team did a great job. read more

We hired nick Lambdin masonry to extend the height of all our existing columns using rocks at our property. We have an existing rock fence however the columns were short and we wanted to raise the height. Nick was very nice and friendly at first when we met in person, and he said that job was easy and it is something he can take care of. We met twice before we agreed to proceed. Once the job started we started seeing some issues. First of all Nick does not do any of the work. Unfortunately this translates to speaking to multiple people if we have concerns. On occasion it was difficult to get in contact with him to address any changes. The workers could not proceed at certain times w/o discussing with him. Our 2nd issue is really that the work doesn't match the initial work that was there. The new work has rocks that are stacked where the old work had rocks that were carefully chosen to mesh with each other leaving a flat vertical surface. I did bring this up and the response was that we didn't have "good" rocks to use. This baffled me as we paid for new rock (per the contract), however new rocks were never provided. This brings me to my 3rd issue. We paid for additional rock in the event we did not have enough on the property. Turns out we had plenty and therefore nick never brought new rocks over. I never received a refund on this since I paid for a product that was never used. I brought this up and nicks response was "rocks are cheap". 4th issue is that the final finished work is of poor quality. The tops are made of brick and some are raised in the middle from too much mortar while others are leaning. A handful of the tops are not level, bad enough to see with naked eye. See attached picture. Once again I brought up all these issues at the end with Nick, and Nick's response was "I think it looks good". When Nick came to collect payment, cleanup was still left to be completed. His team did come the following day to clean up any debris on the ground, however the tops of the columns have mortar all over the rocks that was never cleaned. See attached pictures. Unfortunately 1 week after, some of the tops are in worse condition, I assume from poor mortar/water mixture, from the work being rushed. Nick mentioned he had to rush the job because it was taking too long.... This brings me to my final concern, which is poor customer service: I paid Nick March 17th. One week later we noticed the tops sliding and one column beginning to lean. I contacted Nick multiple times via text and phone with out a response. I have done my part to work with Nick to resolve these issues. I have given Nick the courtesy to get back to me over close to 2 months without avail. I was hoping to take care of my concerns w/o 3rd party involvement. Once again I think Nick is a nice person and truly wanted to resolve the issues with him. I don't expect Nick to fix all the issues however I did expect to fix things like leveling the top. However avoiding phone calls and messages really speaks volumes of inability to stand behind his work. Unfortunately I don't have time or interest to play these games, and will now be taking legal action against Nick Lambdin masonry. Please avoid this contractor. There are many other masonry contractors out there that stand by their work. read more

Nick eventually got back to me as it's the busy time of the year and said he could fit my small job in his schedule. He spent a good amount of time texting with me to help me understand what I needed and what he could provide. Just waiting a bit more time to save up some money and get my job done. UPDATE: Nick banged out 3 cinder columns and some sturdy footings for me. Very impressed with his attitude professionalism and hard work. I will definitely have him come back and do more work. read more

Nick is a talented mason who, unfortunately, is a complete flake. Don't use him if you care about honest communication and integrity. He does good work, but will not stand behind it. He laid slate on my front porch, and the result was beautiful, but a year later, there was a minor issue that needed repair. One of the pieces of slate had come loose, and I contacted him rather than trying to fix it myself. He answered my text by asking for a photo, which I sent to him immediately, and then I never heard from him again. I tried several more times, asking him take a look at the minor repair needed, but to no avail. Keep doing your research and find someone else who is talented and also has reviews that highlight honest, straight-forward professionalism. Nick Lambdin is not that person. read more

I called Nick to get an estimate on some brick work I needed done, and he was able to come out that same day. I told him all of my concerns and he gave me his opinion on what should be done. He called me later that evening and gave me a fair price on the repairs we had discussed earlier. He said he could come out later that week if that would work for me. His crew showed up when promised, and his guys did an awesome job. I would recommend him for any masonary work that you may need. read more

We just want to shout out to the world how pleased we are with the job Nick L. did on our fireplace remodel! He was tasked to "do something" with our gaudy 1970s fireplace. He had an extraordinary vision and the skill level to back it up. He carefully explained a design that would complement our home that included photos of rock and hearth ideas, and a hidden cable hose to hide dangling TV cables from view. Nick is a perfectionist and has a keen eye for every detail. His work is exceptional, meticulous, along with being accessible to answer questions for us any time 24/7. You can trust your fireplace remodel will be done with the highest integrity with Nick L. We get endless compliments from family and friends who see our new fireplace and we will be enjoying it for years to come! Minnie & Steve Galt, CA. read more

My experience with Nick was very good. The project was started and finished in a timely fashion, but what really impressed me was Nick's attention to the over all feel and flow to details of the home and hearth. He helped pick out the stone, and really allowed the project to grow for a great final look. I highly recommend having Nick assist with your chimney needs. read more

This review is for a job back in the spring of 2017. This was for a full-brick 3 foot wall around the front of the house, below the stucco. Nick quoted the job for a reasonable amount and was helpful in recommending "high quality" material and selecting the finish. When it came time to do the job, Nick's team got to work. He claimed that he is a perfectionist and would give great detail to the job. Half-way through, he realized he had not told me to get enough brick. Instead of obtaining more, he used some of the more damaged pieces. So much for being a perfectionist. In the most visible area of the work, is where many of the damage bricks were used, and are obvious to the naked eye without looking for them. To be clear, this is not a tumbled brick that is supposed to look worn/used. As to the "high quality" bricks he recommended, these appear to be extremely fragile. The real problem was when Nick's crew started working on the sill at the top of the partial-wall. About this time or before, Nick claimed that he under-bid the job and would not be able to finish because he didn't charge enough. He told me I had to pay more, even though the job did not change. I argued with him against this kind of strong-arm tactic and he acquiesced to complete the agreed upon job. However, this lead to poor quality work on the sill row and sloppy quick work by the crew at the end of the day. Two corners have since fallen off the top sill row. I'm pretty sure this is because the mortar used at that time was already drying and didn't bond properly to the bricks. These corners of the sill row where the last thing done. Even though the crew acid-washed the majority of the wall, they didn't wash the corners. There is STILL visible mortar on the brick around those corners, including the corners which are no longer there. To add further insult, the crew left broken brick and dumped mortar all over my front yard. When asking Nick to fix this issue, he blamed the failing sill work on other workers who were installing stucco on the walls above the brick work. I observed the whole time, especially after getting burned by Nick and I can absolutely guarantee they did not drop objects on the brick to break off the corners. He claimed our deal was "as is" and that he would not stand by his work. TLDR: He presents professionally, but becomes emotional and petty when things don't go his way. He did not deliver quality work as punishment because he did NOT quote his own work correctly. I would NEVER recommend Nick. He is not honest or trustworthy. read more

Nick for refurbished a flag stone walk way and porch. He also built a stone planter along the drive way for us. My wife is real happy with the work. The crew was very flexible and checked with us on details as they worked. After I paid, he noticed some bricks that I had broken up and offered to pick them up. Hint: Folks, this is the best time of year to have any masonry work done. read more

Nick is definitely worthy of a 5 star rating. I'd give him 10 stars if that was possible. First, Nick knows his business well. He pays close attention to details. His rock work is exceptional. He was also careful with the mess and cleaned up every day. I would highly recommend Nick for any and all mason work that you might need. read more

Wow! I am so happy with the results of Nick's work. I had a totally janky brick patio with a big hole in one corner and completely uneven (not to code) and too narrow steps leading up to a back door. Nick and his team not only took care of the hole and the steps, they were able to brick in an old fuse box opening, completely matching the old brick. They also acid washed and cleaned some previous, bad grout work in the front of my house. The price was reasonable and it looks great. See before and after pics. read more

He evidently can't handle large jobs, which is FINE, he should just TELL people it is out of his capability. He seemed overwhelmed by our project. He said he needed to come back. Okay. He gave us a day and time, and then he never returned for the follow up visit that HE scheduled. My husband and I took the morning off of work just to meet him again for the appointment that HE scheduled. We called him the day before, confirming the appointment. Morning of appointment comes, and he doesn't show. I called him to see if something happened, or if maybe he was just running late. He never bothered to return my call after his no-show. This man is rude, thoughtless, and very unprofessional. If you can't do the job, just SAY SO. Don't waste our time by scheduling another appointment, make us take time off to work to wait for you, and then blow people off! A simple phone call canceling would have been appreciated. We hired another company, SUPER professional people, and our design is in progress! THUMB DOWN to Nick Lambdin. Don't bother calling this guy, there are plenty of great masons out there. read more

Nick did a beautiful job. It's really great to find someone who takes so much pride in their work, especially when they're working inside your home. I felt completely confident with Nick the entire time and when the job was completed, I was absolutely blown away at the grand unveiling. I highly recommend Nick for anyone looking to do stone work in their home. You won't regret the investment. read more

Nick Lambdin Masonry - This is a pic of our newly remodeled fireplace and we are so happy with Lambdin Masonry. - Masonry/Concrete Near Me

Nick installed 12 massive cinder block columns with brick caps on the street side of our property. He was a pleasure to work with and the quality of his work will stand the test of time. It's been 10 months since the install and the columns are still perfectly straight and level. He did an outstanding job at a fair price and even helped with design. I highly recommend him. read more

This review is a bit late, but couldn't be happier with Nick & crew's work on replacing our front walkway! We've had it awhile now and it is SOLID! Everyone compliments us on it, and it adds first class curb appeal to our home. The original walkway was shoddily done and flaking off. The stones were very thin and improperly set into concrete. Nick completely tore it all out all the way to our slab foundation and laid a new concrete base. He met us at a local masonry business to select our stones and mortar colors. After the concrete set, he properly set our new thick stones in mortar on top of the concrete. He is a professional mason, and realized that thinner stones were needed near the front door to fit on top of the slab (yet under the front door frame) to create a smooth transition and slope to the driveway and down the walkway. Afterwards they acid washed the walkway to remove residue and show off the sparkle in the quartz. It still looks amazing and like new! Couldn't be happier and highly recommend Nick Lambdin to create a beautiful walkway like ours if you want that WOW factor! read more

I looked everywhere for a reliable mason. I couldn't get anyone to call me back or comfortable with what I wanted to do. After research online I stumbled upon. Nick Lambdin Masonry and hired them to install brick veneer in my kitchen. I had bought the brick before finding Nick and when he arrived, we discovered I accidently didn't order enough and the yard didn't have any left in town. Nick took the time to find me a similar brick, measured everything for me and went ahead with ordering it for me. He even offered to take the brick back that I ordered incorrectly! He goes above and beyond and the quality of his work is fantastic. He was reliable, creative and passionate about what he does. I highly recommend him. He made everything so easy! read more

Absolutely amazing work on my fireplace restoration! Very polite, professional, and clean work!

Nick did a fantastic job on our fireplace and kitchen bar/island area. He's professional and personable and you can tell that he truly enjoys what he does. He met us at our home, took a few measurements, showed us his portfolio of work he's done and then gave us our quote. He met us at the stone shop and we picked out our stone and a week later we had a complete transformation of our fireplace and kitchen bar/island areas and we couldn't be happier. Thanks to Nick and his team, we are now enjoying our custom features and we'd absolutely go to Nick in the future and without any hesitation, I'd recommend Nick. Thanks Nick! read more

Nick is very professional and courteous. He went way above and beyond. I had suffered an injury and was not able to drive. Nick took me to both the gas fireplace store and the stone store to help me choose the gas insert and the stone for the fireplace and hearth. His expertise and love for his work was very evident. Nick and Daejohn did a fantastic job on the fireplace remodel. Nick is very meticulous and takes great pride in his work. Both were a joy to work with--very friendly and they both took the time to answer any questions that I had. The dust was kept to a minimum due to their installation of a floor to ceiling plastic wall. The clean-up was fantastic--no mess left behind. Daejohn even scrubbed the floors and put the furniture back in it's proper place. I also had them fix a job that had been bungled by the previous mason--stone columns on garage front. I had inquired about redoing the entire columns, but Nick was honest and told me only the bases needed to be done, even though it would have meant more money for him!! I have received many compliments on both the fireplace and the columns. I highly recommend Nick for any masonry job. He is honest, conscientious,does fantastic work, and provides excellent customer service. read more

Nick and his team installed some Coronado veneer stone product that I had pre-purchased. The landscape material company did not sell me the correct Ledge product, but Nick was able to improvise and make the Lentils that they had sold me work for the job.

I can't say enough about Nick and his awesome work. I had a horrendous 70's fireplace that I have lived with for 28 years. I called Nick and let him know specifically what I was looking for. We went over options on websites he referred me to and insisted I go with him to choose the stone, as he said sometimes it looks different in person vs on line. Nick made sure the electrician knew exactly what I wanted, and all of the tv cords were put behind the fireplace wall to make a nice, net presentation. Nick was available any time I had a question, kept up the communications on the timeline on the job, and was very neat and meticulous. Call Nick, he'll do right by you. read more

I wanted to have my fireplace done by Thanksgiving and it was about 2 weeks away. I called Nick and he meet me at my house the next day. He said that it was going to be tight but he could get it done by Wednesday. The quote he gave me was reasonable but the best part was the job he did. Nick and Henry did a terrific job and during the work in progress, they kept my house pretty clean. They did a great job cleaning after the work was done. I was really impressed with the work and the great service. I would recommend him to anyone who wants quality work. read more

Nick did a great job repairing my broken chimney. His crew kept the place neat and tidy at the end of each work day, and the repair job blended in perfectly. The job was located in the Tahoe basin, which might have contributed to not getting the five stars. On a couple of occasions he arrived several hours late for an appointment. Other than that, no complaints. read more
