Description of Work: Complete demolition of front steps and stoop, replacement with brick and bluestone. Job was professional, completed in one day. Stones were cut very nicely, were plumb, with no rough edges. Si was cleaned up nicely afterwards. Zero down payment, zero monies paid until the job was 100% completed - in fact, the Avellino rep came the next day to pick-up the check. Nice job all-around!

Description of Work: Replaced front porch. |Very friendly, punctual and neat. |Price was a little high, but the guys did a great job. Looks great. |Cleaned up area very nicely. |Only draw back was that I didn't realize that the railings were not to be included and now I need to find someone to put on railings. |He did send me a contract listing all service but I guess I just assumed about the railings. Not his fault. |A FEW of the bricks in the front had stress cracks that I noticed but Adam gave me a written guarantee if anything should go wrong in the next three years. |Now that the front was beautiful,it made the rest of the walk look bad so I asked Adam for a quote to replace the next section. |Time (weather) is a big factor in doing cement or concrete work. Plan accordingly.

Description of Work: They installed a french drain along a very rocky hill against the house, repaired some crumbling stone foundation areas on three sides of the house and did some tuckpointing repairs at the stone foundation.

He was very personable and he got back to me within a reasonable amount of time. I am not at the point where I have to make a decision so I am holding off on that. He was the first one that I got a quote from so I have nothing to compare it to. Adam came out to look at another job and he said he would take it back to his boss to get an estimate and I never heard back from him. I gave him a second chance to give me a quote for the front stoop and he was surprised that his boss never got back to me. He did come out twice and he did come when he said he would but his boss never got back to me.

This was an excellent mason-contractor who did everything right -- beginning to end. They were very competitive on price, provided first class stone, and a very capable crew who worked hard and knew what they were doing. They did exactly what I wanted. I would not hesitate to use them again. They did not ask for payment until they were done and I said I was satisfied -- a refreshing change from what we are all used to hearing. All non nonesense. And by the way, I found them on Angie's List.
Description of Work: Demo'd 45' old cement walkway from front to public sidewalk, and replaced with dry laid thermal bluestone and same on 5' stair treds.

'Avellino's salesrep Adam, came to our home within a few days of contacting them based on previous references on Angie's list and their close proximity to our home. Adam took careful measurements and understood our need to level our existing area, as well as extend to the edge of our property. We were given an email and hard copy price quote with step by step procedures to be followed during the job on April 30th. The quote included a 5% senior discount and stipulation that payment was not due until we were completely satisfied.We then contacted several other masons in our county area. One would not travel 15 miles to come for an estimate. Another local contractor that had issued coupons came on the same day, and after a cursory review of the job, offered three different prices within ten minutes, none of which matched the price presented by Avellino, in writing. My wife and I decided to call Adam back and accept the quote. Adam told us that they preferred to do the job during warmer weather and needed 6-8 weeks. Approximately June 1st, I called Adam asking the status of performing the job. We were having an outdoor party on June 24th, and were hoping for completion by that time. Adam called back immediately, and promised to try to move up our date. As later promised, Adam and an excavation crew of 8 workers came on 6/14. They worked nearly 12 hours to remove and prepare the patio while leveling the area .On friday 5 employees showed up to complete the foundation/paving process. At the end, they told me that Adam would contact us in the next few days. While waiting for Adam to call, we noticed one cracked paver and several discolored ones. Adam called the next day and marked the pavers to be replaced. He told us the crew would return in a few days to perform this task. Three days later 3 members of the crew showed up in the rain to replace the pavers. Within fifteen minutes, they finished the job.Two days later, our outdoor party was a success thanks to Avellino. Three days later, I called Adam to tell him we were ready to make payment. At the time we paid Adam, he assured us that they would be there if we had any problems with the work done in the future.During this whole process, all of Avellino's represesentative were professional, courteous and responsive. They also did an excellent job of cleaning and hauling away any debris.
Description of Work: Excavation and disposal of existing concrete patio and replace and extend to 21' x 18' paver surface using 6" x 9" untumbled pavers.

They were out within a day and did a tremendous job. They were not high pressured. They did not over sell the job. We had a number of people in. The guy came in, he saw the situation, he assessed what needed to be done, and showed us what they would do. There were 5 people who came in to work. I was surprised when they said they would probably do it in a day, 2 at most but did it in I think it is a one day job. When they were done, it was a really great job. For six years we didn't have a water problem, not a damp floor. We had a little unexpected snow storm followed by hurricane and we had Halloween and we got water in the basement and it never stopped until they did what they did. We had two guys come in before, they were looking to make money, the first guy had quoted $26000 and the next guy quoted $10000. I was initially weary at the price he was giving and went and got another estimate from somebody else that was a little bit more than his. He was basically in the ball park that he talked about. When we called him back, he gave us a discount. He said he wanted to keep his cook working, so if he could do the work on certain days he could knock off a few dollars, otherwise the price was going to be what he gave us, which I think was $2400, but I could be wrong. Everybody was way above that price.
Description of Work: I used Avelino Custom Masonry Inc for waterproofing services. They put in a sump, cut around the outside walls, got down the hole where the sump pump itself would go and then dug a trench outside to run a pipe.

From start to finish, the personalized care was thorough. We had three estimates, one local "master" mason thought our project wasn't big enough ($$$), one wanted to fit it in between his landscaping jobs. Avellino was first class. First we asked for a repair estimate for our walkway, the asked for the entire thing. He told us to look at website and pictures and explained different options and pricing. No hard sell. Estimate in mall within days. We saw a project they had done, a 30' by 30' backyard, gorgeous. We only had a little walkway. They didn't treat it as such. The workman arrived promptly. The weather was unpromising so they had to make a tent of canvas of rain for the mortar. They said 4 days, and that is how long it took, exactly as promised, no cost overruns. We were committed to building a deck if we ever had the extra money but we are now resolute that we will build our own, 10 by 10 or 20 by 20 backyard patio, with low maintenance, beautiful bluestone, and master craftmanship. Since this was not redesign or new item appended to the house, we did not have zoning or tax issues. I believe they can provide certifications if required. I would really recommend perusing their website. I was shocked that their was no sticker-shock from such a firm in Chester, NJ. Thank you so much, you have increased the worth of our house, and probably our neighbors as well, for a minimum expenditure.
Description of Work: Estimate repair for part of walkway. Coloring would be different. Husband and I discussed. Estimate for whole, reasonable compared to other outfits. Recommend viewing website for ideas and examples, testimonials. Estimate was sent timely. Make sure you are ready to go, this was summer and it is hard with many projects to work around one customers schedule. They were ready, we were not, when we were ready, they had project going. Also, as you can tell from recent weather, mother nature can move projects around. They do not need access to home. They remove all debris. They can get zoning, variance if needed. Make sure you meet foreman of crew. They do not take 1/3 up front like others, payment is due in full at completion. Since they give you the extra few weeks to get it together, get interest, whatever, please pay promptly so they continue to want to serve customers with passion and craft. Also, leave the sign up for two weeks or so, its not hurting anyone. When everyone works, we all benefit. Always change things in writing, verbals and even phone calls can get lost in sauce. My end-they never did, very precise.
