Description of Work: This company was listed in the masonry section of Angie's List, but they were not able to do masonry work unless we were also going to purchase drainage work also. Angie's list needs to remove them from this category.

Response from Drain Designs
Dear [Member's name removed] Thank you for calling this to our attention and we apologize for any confusion. Angie’s List’s software automatically connects us with masonry since many of our reviews mention masonry work. We are completely committed to our drainage work which often requires masonry knowledge and work. I do have a masonry background but my drainage business is my passion. We only have one mason on staff who is also our foreman so he stays with our drainage crews. We hope the masons we recommended were helpful and hope your project goes well. Sincerely, Kevin Kondas, Owner

Description of Work: We asked K Squared to come evaluate a project that we thought we'd be using block wall on. The gave us the pros and cons and actually suggested that we go a cheaper route. It actually worked out better for us for this application and saved us about $3000 on the project

See the previous information. In short, everything went very well! Flexibility came in handy since the scope of the project evolved once we got under way. A willingness to be flexible by all parties contributed to the overall success. The end results were just outstanding! We cannot say enough positive about this company. Kevin had a lot of good ideas and was able to execute them with a very skilled, hard-working team! We would highly recommend K Squared, Inc. Masonry
Description of Work: This was a multi-phased project starting with complete removal of the home's front entry. Materials from this portion were recycled into subsequent projects. A new entry was designed incorporating Tennessee flagstone which was also used to create a sitting area surrounding the front steps. Rock material from the original entry area was used to augment existing rock walls on the property. Stone was brought in to create steps and paths to neighboring properties and to remedy drainage issues. Behind the garage, an area was reworked including removal of dirt, partial removal of a crumbling brick wall, placement of flagstone on the remaining brick wall, and a flagstone patio area for plants in the area between the garage wall and the brick wall. Flagstone was also installed along the side of the garage after installing drainage pipe under the driveway, along the garage, and to the rear of the property. Tennessee flagstone was also installed around the top of a rectangular garden pond near the garage, creating a connection to the stonework around the house. Chapel Hill gravel was used to create a network of paths in the backyard and also used in the "outdoor living room " created in the backyard. This room was dug out of a sloping backyard, leveled and covered with Chapel Hill gravel after marble squares(removed from the front entry area) were set in a pleasing pattern. A rock wall at the top of the room defined the space and steps into the "room" from 2 different paths and steps out of the "room" were incorporated into the design. The dirt that was dug out from the "room" project and from behind the garage was moved to a garden terrace and leveled. (Currently, it is the home for raised beds.) In the process, plants were moved to accommodate the construction. Care was taken through the process to insure minimal disruption. Care was also taken to maintain a safe an orderly work site. The project extended across a couple of months due to the weather and the expanding scope. Kevin and his crew were a joy to have working for us! We found this company on Angie's List...Someone described Kevin as a "Craftsman". We wholeheartedly agree! He was able to make suggestions that we found to be great improvements. His attention to detail was appreciated! He left the site far better than he found it! The project beat expectations on every level, a true rarity today! The entire team was punctual, extremely hard-working, and just a pleasure to have working on this project for us.

I was referred to Kevin Kondas from Craftsman Direct, who had seen his work on a different job. Kevin is a third-generation mason and his craftsmanship is evident once you see his work. Our front balusters were literally crumbling due to the constant freezing and substandard workmanship when originally constructed. Kevin came out, looked at the job, and gave us a fair price. After seeing everything he did to rebuild our concrete balusters, I can honestly say I got WAY more than what I paid for. Kevin is a true craftsman and takes tremendous pride in his work and craft. He was diligent, thorough, and has an incredible work ethic. I even saw him on his hands and knees after the job was completed, picking bits of powerwashed concrete from our lawn. He always left the job site tidy and was very respectful and careful around our plantings. Our entryway honestly looks BETTER now than when they were originally built. We're thinking of doing some landscaping in our backyard and I am definitely including Kevin and K Squared Masonry on the team!!
Description of Work: Remove existing concrete from entryway baluster, apply lathe with masonry fasterners, and apply plaster with white portland mix

I found K2 Masonry on Angie's list. He was very responsive to our calls, wanted us to be happy with the result, and was extremely creative in solving our problem without a total demolition and a rebuilding of the steps which would have cost twice as much. They were very careful not to damage the shrubbery or lawn and left our property clean. Their work was extremely neat. I would definitely hire them again.
Description of Work: Our front brick steps had dropped about 1 1/2 inches on one side after 24 years in this house. K2 Masonry leveled the steps by adding Tennessee stone to each tread and then lifting the last section of the cement sidewalk so that all of the steps would have the same rise which is required to meet current building code. They dug under the sides of the steps and added cement footings to prevent the steps from dropping even more in the future. They also dug under the section of sidewalk and added cement to ensure that it would remain in place. Also, two new posts were inserted in the sidewalk and cemented in place so that we can have the railings replaced and not have to worry about the posts rotting in the future.

Mr. Kondas did a superb job from beginning to end. He responded to my initial query with an estimate in less than 24 hours. He was able to come out and do the work quickly. Mr. Kondas has a strong sense of craftsmanship and did an excellent job on the steps. He relayed that he is a 3rd generation mason and loves his craft. He was very professional in my dealings with him and left the workplace immaculate. He even hosed off my car during pine pollen season. My steps look wonderful! I would definitely use his services again.
Description of Work: My front steps had mortar cracked and missing from several steps. Over the winter, some steps had shifted forward. Mr Kondas removed and replaced all the mortar on my brick front steps. He also had to remove and reset several bricks.
