Ochoa Masonry

My wife and I recently purchased a home in Arrowhead. The patio and front steps had broken stones, cracked/missing grout and some areas that had sunk. I asked some of our Vail Valley friends for recommendations for a mason, and a former builder highly recommended Cayetano Ochoa. Cayetano had worked for the builder a decade ago and had many years of experience. I called Cayetano, and he and his son were able to come over a few days later to give us an estimate. I had a feeling that they knew what they were doing when they tapped every stone in the entrance area and patio to see which ones were secure and which ones were loose or weren't set firmly. Their estimate was very reasonable, and they could start the next week so I gave them the go-ahead. Great decision! Cayetano and his son worked hard and efficiently. Rather than just add grout, they pounded out and replaced a number of stones and leveled the areas that had sunk. I was extremely impressed by their skill. And, it was a pleasure dealing with them. Since some areas of the patio were stained by aspen droppings, Cayetano suggested that the patio be cleaned and everything sealed. We had them do it. My wife and I are very pleased with the finished product. I will not hesitate to call Cayetano in the future when we have additional masonry projects. I HIGHLY recommend Cayetano and his son.
