Told me he would come out to look at the job after an inspection he had. He said it would be about 12:30p. When he did not show by 1:45pm and I did not get a call, I called to see what happened. He told me if he could come out around 3:00 but if I could give him my address again.??? I did and waited around. I stepped away from my phone for 25 minutes. He called at 3:40 and I returned the call his call at 3:49. Only to be told that what I wanted to do (dry stack large stones for a 4 foot retaining wall) could not be done and that he did not want to do it. (even though I had explained it in our initial conversation). Needless to say.. wasted all this time waiting for this guy. Looks like he is too busy to even keep appointments.
Description of Work: Asked for an appointment to come and quote a 4 foot high dry stack retaining wall.

They came when expected, did a beautiful job, and cleaned up well. I was home that week and could watch them work. I kept thinking they are doing it as though it was their own home. These workers are real craftsmen who take pride in their work. Sean gave me a very fair price. I highly recommend this company.
Description of Work: They installed new brick steps to my back entrance and a new step and walkway from the sidewalk to my front door.

Choice Masonry recently finished installing a patio and new side steps for my house. Through no fault of their own, there were additional costs for materials but Sean did his best to work with us and complete the job in a timely manner. Over the past winter, we had used Choice Masonry to install a backsplash for our kitchen and it came out perfect. Sean was able to recommend a couple places for the materials and it looks great. Will definitely use them again!

I called about 3 weeks ago to get an estimate on some masonry work, he told me he was coming sometime on Friday of that week. He never showed up or called that he couldn't make the appointment, very unprofessional.

Could not be happier with Sean. He is ultra-prompt, professional, and personable. His crew is skilled and very deferential to the customer. Everything was cleaned up at the end of the job and the work is excellent. Since completing the water-proofing, we have had three weather events here in the Northeast that, in the past, would have resulted in puddles all over my basement floor. We are--as promised--bone dry. Sean and his crew are craftsmen who take pride in the quality of their work. I will only recommend him for masonry needs.
Description of Work: The contractor waterproofed my basement, removed mold, AND painted the walls. In the summer of 2013, he replaced concrete walks around our home. He is currently building us new front porch steps.
