The experience was very positive. Antonio and his team were efficient, responsive, and extremely skilled. They answered all of my questions and tailored the job to my specific needs. His team was extremely hardworking and thorough. They were also very polite and made every effort to clean up at the end of the job. I highly recommend them and would certainly use their services again, if needed.
Description of Work: I hired this firm to rebuild my front staircase and walkway, based on the excellent work they have done in my neighborhood. This required the destruction and removal of the old, cracked stairs and railing. On the first day, two young men worked for hours with jackhammers and sledge hammers to prepare the site. They also laid the foundation for the new stairs. On the next day, five men began the laborious job of building the new stairs and removing the old walkway. They worked for many hours. On the final day, they completed the finishing/decorative touches and cleaned my property expertly.

Antonio responded to my request for an estimate immediately and I liked his promptness, suggestions and estimate. I had asked for a specific time frame to begin the work which was met. They did the work in 2 days. The workmen were polite, neat and extremely hard working. The steps look beautiful. Before, their shabby appearance was the first thing you noticed, although our house is a well maintained Dutch Colonial. Now, they enhance the curb appeal of our home and we couldn't be happier with the work of this company.

I am very pleased, a good, professional job at the right price. As I said I am handicapped and mobility is an issue for me, I can now get any where I need to go....Without hesitation, I would use this outfit for any of their services, and recommend them highly....Mr. Debenedetto is a professional, who takes his work seriously, which reflects in his crew, as well as the finished product. For me, this was a very positive experience, and I am well pleased with the results. Kudos to Angies List and Mr. Debenedetto (AND his people)
Description of Work: I am wheelchair bound, and there wasn't enough space in my driveway to get around the car...I had a retainer wall that blocked the way....I was thinking knock down the wall and put pavers in, I could at least roll over them to get to the car. so I joined angies list, and began my quest. Called Mr Debenedetto's company, nice people, was told he would call back next day, he did...we set up appointment for Friday...discussed options, he gave me a price, decided to put concrete down, I have some knowledge of what it costs to do this kind of job, and I am on a fixed income, it was a Good price, couldn't turn it down...Hired him on the spot....he came in saturday with his crew, 5 guys, removed wall took away the debris, dug it out put down the concrete, what a crew, it was enjoyable to watch them work, 5 guys, and all of them worked, it was like watching bees :-) , didn't get in each others way, they each had a task to perform, quick and efficient...and they smiled, said hello each time I came to look, that says something about the management! The place was spotless when they left, if there wasn't a great new addition to my driveway, you wouldn't have known they were there!
After placing calls to more than 6 companies for the fireplace/chimney project described above, 3 companies responded. All agreed to give me estimates. One company did not show up. Another company gave an estimate, but they incorrectly diagnosed the problem with my chimney. Antonio Debenedetto Construction actually answered the phone the first time I called and I was told Antonio would call me at a certain time to discuss the work I needed done with me. Antonio did call at the agreed upon time. He arranged to come out and look at my chimney the next day. He showed up on time. He told me the stones were pulling out of the wall around my basement fireplace because the hearth was settling and pulling them away with it. He was interested in doing my project and gave me a very reasonable estimate in my opinion for the work to be done. I could tell that he knew what he was doing and he was easy to get along with and very punctual and reliable so I knew that he was the right person for my job. Antonio was very easy to work with because he carries his cell phone and always answers it. The project began on Sept. 4, 2012. I was home during the first day of the project and also on the fifth day of the project.. Antonio and his crew arrived about 8:30 to 9am and worked until 4:30pm. They quickly set up a scaffold along the side of my house by the chimney and began to disassemble the chimney. Antonio noticed that my front doorstep needed to be repaired and gave me a price on replacing it which I agreed to, so the front doorstep was demolished that day as well. By the end of the second day, the front doorstep was completed with the adjacent slab of sidewalk, The roof was repaired and water damaged parts of the house were repaired. The exposed water damaged parts of the house were sealed with sheets of plastic to prevent rain from getting them wet overnight. Only a few feet of chimney could be completed each day because the mortar and cement had to dry before it could support the weight of more chimney. Inside my house they put down heavy paper on rolls to protect my carpet. They even made a paper pathway to the bathroom so they wouldn't track in on my carpet. The 53 feet of sidewalk replacement was all done on Sept. 11 and water sealing was done aroune the chimney on that day as well. That week, it rained intermittently, so his crew worked inside during the rain and outside when the rain stopped. The crew worked together beautifully. They were polite, respectful of my property, and got along well together. During the remainder of the project I had to work, so I trusted the crew to work in my absense. I allowed them to use the bathroom inside my house. Nothing was missing and everything was left clean and tidy. I was not home at the close of the project and I trusted them to clean up and lock the door behind them properly which they did. The entire project was completed on Sept 12 when they returned to remove the forms from the 53 feet of sidewalk. The workers also worked on Saturday. I am very pleased with everything they did. They did an amazing job. All of the work is beautiful and I am very happy that the original granite stone on my chimney could be reused. And, they hung my brass fireplace doors back on the brick first floor fireplace when they were finished. Antonio took photos of all steps of the project to show the building inspector so I was able to pass inspection at the end of the project. Finding a mason who could do stonework was difficult because I really don't think there are many people who know how to do it. I was really happy that I found Antonio. I would definitely hire him again.
Description of Work: The top 17 feet of my 3 story stone chimney was pulling away from my house. Antonio and his crew demolished the chimney to 17 feet down from the top. He removed the venire stones and cleaned them up for reuse. He repaired the water damaged areas and then insulated, sheathed, and tar papered the area. Then he rebuilt the chimney with new blocks, flue pipes and new chimney caps. Antonio pointed out to me that the chimney detatched from the house because it was never tied in to the house properly in the first place, so he secured the rebuilt chimney to the house properly. The roof shingles around the chimney were repaired and flashed. The chimney was revenired with the original granite stones. A new cap was added to prevent animals from getting into the chimney. the chimney was sealed with waterproof stone sealer guaranteed for 10 years. Inside, my basement fireplace hearth had settled causing some of the wall stones to pull forward out of position. The hearth and the damaged face stone to the right of the fireplace were removed. The footing was reinforced and the hearth was rebuilt and the original stone venire was used restoring the fireplace and hearth to its original appearance. The same granite caps were used on top of the hearth. The hearth of my first floor fireplace that had settled away from the wall was demolished, the hearth was reinforced between the beams and rebuilt to match the existing brickwork. The original marble cap was attached to the new hearth. The cost of the reconstruction of the chimney and two hearths as described was $17500. Outside, my front doorstep measuring 10.5 feet x 4 feet was removed and one new platform step (1 riser) was constructed the same size with new brick. New limestone threads were set and the center of the step was filled with poured concrete. Then the adjacent section of sidewalk 3 feet x 6 feet was destroyed and replaced with poured concrete. This portion of the project cost $2100. Finally, I decided the project would look better if the remainder of sidewalk was replaced to match the new slab. The remaining 53 feet x 3 feet of sidewalk was demolished and replaced with poured concrete for a cost of $1500. All debris was removed from the site.

Mr. Debenedetto returned initial call quickly, and came down right away to give estimate. Very fair price I think, for the amount of work - it's labor intensive removing concrete from each and every joint on brick staircase. Also considerable amount of large roots under buckled sidewalk. Came a couple of days later per our agreement, and would have came sooner except for weather.All went as discussed - took 1 and 1/2 days to complete entire job.Cleaned up completely, and even took away old roots that were chopped out. Stairs look great as do the new sidewalk slabs. Saved me a considerable amount of money by re-pointing as opposed to entire new staircase.These guys were great and I will be calling them again. You should too.
Description of Work: Brick Staircase:- Ground / chiseled out joints of front brick steps ( 6 steps ) completely.- Re-pointed entire staircase.- replaced 2 bricks that were beyond repair before re-pointing. Front Sidewalk:- Demolished two poured concrete sidewalk slabs that were buckled by roots.- Chopped/removed the *( many large ) roots under the slabs.- Re-poured slabs.

I had 3 companies come out and provide estimates. The first guy to come out gave a cheaper price but seems put off by the fact that I was having others come and give estimates as well. When I tried to contact him to have him do the work he never returned my call. Debenedetto was more expensive but they returned my calls immediately and were able to schedule my job the very next day. I am very happy with the work they did and probably would have been disappointed with the job done by the first guy since he was very professional. The person doing the work called Antonio and had me speak to him at the beginning and end of the job to make sure we were all on the same page and that I was happy with the work. He did a great job, was courteous and conscientious.

I had been experiencing moisture in a corner of my basement and pooling of water in front of my garage. I had my concrete driveway replaced a few years ago and the slope was likely incorrect - causing the problem. Antonio called me back quickly. He came by within 2 day of speaking and spent time looking around the basement and also around the front of the property. He assessed that the problem was most likely related tot he front concrete slope. He mentioned when we spoke that he also did waterproofing. He was confident that replacing the concrete was the correct course of action and even noted that I did not need french drains. When I mentioned that I was thinking of getting the underground drains clean, Antonio told me that would not be necessary. He quoted me a fair price and we set a date to start work. The weather was not cooperative and Antonio called me regularly, noting that he wanted to make sure he had a dry day before laying the concrete. It ended up raining all week and I thought I would have to wait to get the work done, but to my surprise Antonio and his team showed up warly on a Saturday! Work was completed in 1 day. The team was neat and clean. Antonio completed an inspection at the end of the day and had his guys go back and correct a very slight nic in the concrete - - which I didn't even notice. When Antonio and I were discussing the project up front he said, "I'm just and honest contractor who wants to do a good job," I chuckled a bit, but in the end, that is exactly how I would describe him!
Description of Work: Relaid top half of concrete driveway to alleviate moisture in front corner of basement; Ripped up existing concrete, dug around 3 feet below ground, coated foundation with waterproof sealent and installed waffle board (about 2-3 inches above ground), relaid concrete, replaced dirt around edges. Also repaired cracked sidewalk block.

As mentioned above, we did not choose this company because another one could perform the work sooner.
Description of Work: Mr. DeBenedetto came to our house for an estimate on some masonry work (sidewalk and front steps). He showed up on time and was knowledgeable about what could be done and made suggestions that we thought very good. His price was several hundred dollars better than one other company and comparable to the one we went with. The only reason we did not choose him is that another company could perform the work sooner.

I was very impressed with Mr. Debendetto's responsiveness. I accessed his website to request a quote and received a phone call within 10 minutes! His workers were careful, respected my property and did a good job. There were a couple of "fix up" items that I requested after the initial work and Mr. Debenedetto was very diligent in getting them done. I"m very satisfied with the work and would have no problem in having Debenedetto Contruction returning to perform other work for me or my family.
Description of Work: Mr. Debenedetto's workers reset stones in my front blue stone walkway, replaced some damaged stones, readhered several stones that had loosened, repointed mortar in blue stone patio on my front porch and repaired and resurfaced concrete areas on the vertical facing of the front porch.

Everything went wonderfully. I was very happy with Mr. DeBenedetto and with his crew, who were all very hard-working and considerate. I'm very happy with my new, clean basement. In addition to all the work that he and the crew did, Mr. DeBenedetto also gave me advice on a water problem outside our house. I would gladly recommend him to anyone.
Description of Work: I hired De Benedetto Masonry and Paving to point the brick and stone walls in my over-100 year old basement. Here is what they did: Cleaned joints in foundation stone by chiseling and grinding out old cement. Cleaned joints in bricks by chiseling and grinding out old cement. Vacuumed all debris and dust from walls. Pointed all stone work in basement by filling in cement joints with new water resistant cement. Pointed bricks in basement by filling in cement joints where cement is deteriorated with new water resistant cement. Moved all objects in basement and replaced after work was finished. Carted away all debris from their work. Stuccoed the walls, columns and stairs to the outside with wire lath and then put 2 coats of cement on that. They also did two things that were not part of the original agreement but I appreciated very much: they also pointed the bricks just outside the cellar door on the exterior of the house because they were deteriorating, and also leveled the broken parts of the floor. Mr. DeBenedetto also offered to haul all the junk in my cellar that I wanted to get rid of, and also took other things from my house that I wanted to get rid of. (He charged me $300 to do this, which is included in the $6,589.00 figure above.) In addition, he called me from a home improvement store and offered to buy new shelves to replace my old rusted steel ones. I approved this and I then had nice, new shelves to put things back on. (He only charged me what he paid for the shelves himself.)

This was by far the best experience I have ever had with a contractor. From the start to the end Angello the owner was threr to help with every detail. I was able to call hom and he immediately responed with the proper answer. Also, his crew of four employees was just as professional and the quality of the work was excellent. The price was fair and he never asked for any more money that we agreed upon on the contract. We plan on using him next spring to repace our back so we can sit outside to enjoy our yard and have a cook out. If you need work of a mason and he also does waterproofing give him a call ASAP and get a fair estimate. You will be glad you did.
Description of Work: I had my entire front steps removed and rebuilt with new bricks. We also had our entire front sidewallks removed and done with new cement as well as a new driveway apron. Our stairs look terriffic and we enjoy looking at our new sidewalk and driveway.

Antonio and his crew of 3 workers arrived bright and early both days of the 2 day job. They were polite, courteous and highly professional. They rebuilt our crumbling stairway from the ground up. They paid close attention to detail, checking level throughout the process, and assuring that every brick was properly set, resulting in a beautiful front stairway! The crew also took great care to not damage the surrounding property and siding. They cleaned up as they worked and left our property as they found it. My husband and I are thrilled with our new stairway and are delighted with the overall positive experience of this job. We look forward to doing more work with Debenedetto Masonry and recommend Debenedetto to anyone interested in any type of stone/masonry/paver work.
Description of Work: Rebuilt brick stairway in front of the house.
