It was super. Kevin and his team do great work; the attention to detail is key. And when they finished, the job site was spotless. New patios look great. Used EZ Masonry four times now for a variety of projects, and I would (will!) absolutely use them again.

We are a very small company and in ever increasing demand. Adding staff to meet spikes in requests for bids may possibly compromise the quality of our work. We had filled our schedule early in the spring and our intake process was overloaded. I will advise the one person handling these calls to be more clear about our availability going forward. We can only say we are sorry that we were unable to handle the tremendous volume of calls this season.

We faced two significant delays that were outside of our control on this project. One for the permit approval from the St Paul Historic Preservation District and a second major delay from the cut stone provider. The materials used were specified by building code and the HPC orders.

We appreciate the feedback related to staining of your repaired surface. As with all new finishes there is a downside to bright and light colors having a tendency to highlight dirt and stains. The Miracote product we used on your steps is a resilient and durable finish with a stated compressive strength of over 5000 psi. It will stand up to frequent washing and even high pressure washing if you have stubborn stains. It is designed to be used as a stand alone finish but it would also be compatible with a clear sealer which may inhibit or reduce the staining you have mentioned. Each spring we are enlisted to provide these follow up services for many of our clients with decorative installations at their pool decks, driveways and home or restaurant patios. We would be happy to offer the same service(s) to you for your steps.

I spoke with Kevin this spring when he wanted to use my drive to put equipment for a neighbors work. .I pointed out the problems and he began to explain that it was my fault, I should not have expected what I did. When I told him what I was promised, he denied that and kept saying that it wasn't possible to have had the work look good. I would have had to pay more (THEY CHARGED ME TWICE WHAT THE ESTIMATE WAS ) so it was not their fault that the work looked bad. I was repeatedly told that the work would lighten and fit in with the existing wall after it dried. I told him that I had the work done not to make it look worse, which it did . I assumed that some judgement went into the work so that it was not just slapped on, making it look very much like a pock marked problem. This was to be cosmetic work only, which is done for attractiveness. He ended up sneering at me and walking away, which is not a respectful way to respond to a customers concerns. The work looks bad and it cost $1300....the estimate had been $600. This experience says they do not follow through on their promises, and don't care if the work they do looks poor. No attempt to repair or negotiate when discussed. DO NOT TRUST THESE WORKERS
Description of Work: Repair to concrete steps. I requested that they work to match the existing step, it is very obvious that this was not attempted. I requested that they fill (add white colored filler) cracks and areas on light stucco garage wall. I expected a professional job where the patch was leveled and blended using lighter materials. The work resembles that of a very poor quality DIY job from an incompetent homeowner. I was told that they would use light colored to match and when it did not, I was told to give it time to lighten. (they used dark cement that just sticks out and is not flat or light)My problem was that I trusted them and paid them, as they continued to say they would do right by me.

It is with sincere regret that I was unable to have a substantive conversation with you just a few weeks ago when I asked to park one of our trucks in the apron at your home I was unaware of any concerns you had with the work until then. My records differ significantly on the total price but this was a time plus materials job billed at our standard rates. You requested additional work after we started and as the scope grew then it was inevitable that the cost increased. The conversation that day was very one sided but your only issue then was the color of the crack patching on the garage column. I was attempting to offer a solution but it seemed to fall flat. As your words became inflammatory I had no choice but to walk away. We would be happy to cover over these patches in an attempt to provide a closer match but the more appropriate remedy is to color dash the entire garage after it has had all of the repairs needed. It also seems now that the scope of your concerns has grown since that day in late April.

The project went very smoothly. They were pouring a new driveway slab and sidewalk. They came when they promised and did a great job. They are very detail oriented and worked very hard to make it perfect- which it is. We had very bad weather that week, but they stuck to the timeline and had it done for us by the deadline. We will use them again. They were great to work with.

kevin was very responsive on the front end with the bid; the work was performed by EZ crew members and they did a good job on the actual work and in clean up at the conclusion of the project.
Description of Work: Kevin provided us with a bid and provided overall management of three projects. (1) EZ removed a significant bulge on an exterior brick wall of our home and rebuilt the wall in two spots; (2) EZ rebuilt a semicircular entry way to our front door made of brick and concrete; (3) EZ replaced a section of a concrete walkway in our backyard that had been damaged/cracked by a fallen tree limb.

Kevin promptly returned call to do an estimate and stopped by next day. Gave me different options to resolve issue of leaves, mice getting into the garage due to old, cracked, uneven floor/apron. Decided to just do the apron as a full garage floor was more expensive. Received an estimate from another Angie's list contractor - it was much higher and I liked that EZ Masonry was doing work in the neighborhood already - local. Work began quickly - a 1 1/2 weeks later. Finished quickly in 2 days (even though smaller job for them). The crew was very professional and careful in my yard, and garage. They put a tarp to catch concrete dust during demolition and cleaned up very well. They lined up the carriage walk carefully too. I was most impressed when one of the workers asked if he could smoke on the job site - very consider to ask!

Description of Work: They provided a competitive and detailed estimate for the job and were very up front at the time I was ready to select a contractor by telling me that they were fully booked and couldn't do the job during the timeframe I requested. They went so far as to give me feedback on the other contractors I had received bids from in order to help me get my job done.

They were very professional. They do what they say they are going to do and do it when they say they will. They have been around for a while and really know their trade. They have a really good understanding of their market. These guys are outstanding and I've heard if things weren't done right to the bosses specification he will have the company to tear it up, apologize to the customer, have the job done right and he will eat the cost. He is serious about quality and performance. He puts on his business cards that he is a "construction grief counselor". He is a little bit more expensive than other people, but you get what you pay for.

Did a great job! The concrete looks very neat and clean and matches the previous look with two low steps - risers as before. They also helped level out the slab of sidewalk that was right next to the steps, otherwise, either the steps or the sidewalk would be crooked. They did this by putting dirt and stabilizing the last slab next to the steps. They dug out the area around, including my limestone shelf at city sidewalk level and put back. Did a very nice job and were very patient with the fact that we spoke in June, but didn't decide on the work until September. The old steps were in bad shape, and this really adds to the street appeal of my home.

My experience with E-Z Masonry Company wasn’t that positive however, the results of the work done were fine. The craftsmanship was not that great. However, I was really happy with the concrete steps that they put in. I like a lot of specific communication which was lacking in their case. It was a little hard to figure out with them on when they were going to start the work. I just felt like their people were not going to show up. They also never came back to do the final detail work. It was just the last half hour work which I ended up doing it myself. It was the Fourth of July week and they left their little bob cat parked by the house which was inconvenient. In the end the work did turn out to be fine. It’s just that on the whole it wasn’t as professional an experience as I expected. I would not use them again in the future.

My husband called E-Z Masonry for an estimate on the work, and they replied promptly and returned an estimate in a timely manner. We tried calling other companies for estimates and our phone calls were not returned, so we went the E-Z Masonry. The weather delayed the work several days. But they showed up when they said that they would. When preparing the area for the apron in front of the garage, they found that there needed to be additional fixing of the blocks under the garage floor slab. My husband had to go out of town, and they were calling and emailing my husband about the additional work needed even though they were told to contact me. This was the only thing that bothered me about their work. However they went ahead with the additional work, which ended up being ok because the work was needed. Additional expense of $315. They cleaned up very well after the job was done. The work was very professionally done, and looks great.

So the main surprise was this: under the wooden stoop, was...another old concrete one! Joy. the previous owner had kind of partially demolished it, but not really, then just covered it up by building a wooden one that was BIG. Anyway, that's why the cost went up, because they had to come over and demolish that before doing any pouring. Kevin let me know about that as soon as he saw it, and the extra cost was not significant. New steps are awesome! I mean it. When I ordered the super wide steps, I don't think I realized how big they would be! LOL. My bad. But to be honest, I really like the stoop. You can safely be up there with 2-3 little kids around your legs, and they aren't going to fall off when you open the door. Rails are fine, exactly what he drew up for us beforehand. Kevin's crew did the work in the Fall(yeah, I'm behind on filling this in)just when it was starting to get cold, but the concrete has been great so far. They cleaned up nicely too. I would use him again if I needed more concrete work done.
Description of Work: Contracted with E-Z to remove an old wooden stoop that was starting to rot and looked horrible, and to repair a 2-step concrete step about 10-15 feet away, down where my sidewalk met the city sidewalk. Selected a twisted-rail black iron rail for the stoop, and asked for it to be made wide enough for us to stand on either side of the door when opening, because it makes it a lot easier with small children. Kevin(and every other contractor we talked to)said we'd need to also replace the old concrete sidewalk between our stoop and the 2-step bit we originally asked to fix.

The project went well from start to finish. We got a prompt, competitive quote. Work started when we were ready to begin. The project took over a week to complete. Kevin was very good about working with us when we needed changes. The crew was neat and professional. After the black dirt was added, we had concerns about the level and grading, so they came back and redid it.
