I can not say enough about how good Dan and his crew were and the work that they did. They removed my old fireplace used the brick to patch in where we had windows removed and you couldn’t see that there was an opening there before. And the new fireplace looks like a million dollars. They were clean and showed up when they said they would

I first used north south masonry about 10 years ago after a catastrophic repair had been done on my property. Dan and his team completed the repair and a cost effective and timely manner over the years. I have used him numerous times on several of my properties and his estimates Have always been very reasonable. I never have any concerns from start to finish when using this company and have referred Dan to other business acquaintances .He never disappoints. !

It was seamless they came did their thing and were gone. It was like they were never there except there was a stone sill under my window. I can’t say enough tot about these guys. They did a lovely tidy up too.
Description of Work: Masonry I had a stone window sill ( 10 foot long ) put in after the custom window was already installed. Northsouth Masonry also replaced (toothed in ) bricks on the left and right side of the window replacing bricks with bad cuts and making the whole opening very finished.

I had an excellent experience with this company from start to finish. During the heavy snowfall this year, water got under a limestone cap on the side of my chimney. It froze and the cap came tumbling off, exposing the insides to the elements. I wanted it fixed quickly and requested multiple quotes. Dan from Northsouth Masonry called me the next day, even though many masonry shops seem to shut down during the winter. I sent him detailed photos of the issue and we agreed on a price. Dan said he could take advantage of the brief warm spell, and the work was performed a few days later. It looks fantastic. The mason showed up *exactly* on time. The original construction didn't use steel pins on an angled cap, making it vulnerable to falling. These guys corrected that problem with hidden steel pins. A solid 3 hours of work on a 12 ft ladder. I was impressed. I was at work and the wife was manning the house, so Dan sent me multiple photos of the work at various stages which I appreciated. When finished, everything was cleaned up and spotless. A+ communication, A+ reliability, A+ punctuality, A+ work quality, A+ price. Thank you!

Dan O'Brien was very responsive compared to other masons when we were shopping around. He quickly came to inspect our fireplace and was receptive to what we wanted while offering very constructive feedback, offered approximate price up-front. He stayed in contact and worked with us throughout construction. His staff was prompt, trustworthy (nobody home at times without problems, issues), and professional - solving minor problems that came up to make a beautiful stone fireplace and hearth my wife and I are very happy with. Overall cost below what I expected. We highly recommend Northsouth Masonry.

Nothing short of outstanding. In two days, the NorthSouth crew transformed the front face of the property from weathered and battered to like-new. The neighbors are grinning from ear to ear. The 5 new concrete steps are flawless, and merge seamlessly into the porch structure. Rebuilding the planter was no small task -- it was a custom job that required specialized framing and considerable planning, even for a skilled mason, not to mention about a half ton of concrete, literally. Those guys made the whole thing look easy. Impressive to say the least. Now I am grinning from ear to ear. I have used NorthSouth before, and will not hesitate to hire them again in a heartbeat.
Description of Work: Demolish and re-pour 5 of 7 concrete steps, rebuild large concrete planter and install new catch basin, grind and tuck point stoop (balustrade) walls inside and out.
