It was done beautifully. My house looks much nicer now and the steps will last for a long time. It took a bit longer than they first estimated but it was well worth it. They communicated well and did all I requested. The price was exactly what they quoted which was very reasonable.

They are the best! They minimize the mess, which is not always easy with stone work, and are on time, professional, and fairly priced, considering the great work. My neighbors on both sides have also hired this company because of the good work they did on my house. Cannot recommend them any stronger!
Description of Work: Tom and his crew completed a beautiful patio in my backyard using decorative paver blocks. They did a terrific job in both suggesting design ideas and carrying them out perfectly. I have used them before to do pavers in my driveway and to reconstruct my front steps, and they did a fantastic job then too.

It went well, and I am happy with the work. The worksite wasn't prestine, but as concrete work goes, it was relatively clean after the job was done. He also had the best price.
Description of Work: Rear brick steps were removed and concrete steps installed in their place. In addition, the foundation of the steps was modified to meet code.

Initial consultation was in October. I was pleased with the way it was explained to me how the repairs would be performed. I wanted the repairs to be completed as soon as possible (before the approaching winter season). Mid-November timeframe was agreed upon and work began on 11/16 and lasted 2.5 days. Communication and responsiveness were both very good and I was introduced to the workers who were courteous and professional. All debris was cleaned up and I am quite satisfied with the overall progression and completion of this project.
Description of Work: • Inside bilco door stairway, fill existing block with concrete and reinforced with rebar placed in each block, replace two courses of concrete blocks, fill new blocks with concrete and rebar, and replace bilco door, pave a concrete section approximately 12” to 24” wide in front of bilco door opening to provide better drainage guiding water away from door opening • Fix deteriorated foundation and grind out any disruptive tree roots • Clean up all debris (including removed cinder blocks, concrete, and old bilco doors) on work side upon completion

Once we decided to go with his company, he gave us a book to look through to choose our pavers. Also told us where we could see the pavers in person. We signed the contract on 5/27 and he started our job on 6/03. They removed our concrete patio, which was approximately 19' x 30', installed the pavers, and cleaned up all debris on work site upon completion. The workers were very professional and always showed up on time. The job was completed in a week. They did a beautiful job. We've gotten many compliments on our new patio. Ryders Masonry used to be called Father and Son Masonry. I found them through Angie's List.
Description of Work: We wanted to replace our old, cracked concrete patio with pavers. We got 3 estimates. Tom's price was very competitive.

Prompt return of calls, visit for estimate, time he said he would start. Owner Tom even called to confirm estimate appointment and start of the job. He took about 2 months before he began, but we agreed on that date and he stuck to it. Very professional, courteous, good clean up by his workers and at a fair price compared to others. I wish more contractors were like him. Business is now known as Ryder Masonry.
Description of Work: Replaced 1) concrete walkway from driveway to front door, 2) concrete squares on sidewalk in front of house, 3) patched concrete edge of driveway at the street.

I had to wait 9 months for him to free up...he thought it would be 5 months..but the wait was worth it. Suggested ways to upgrade the look of the front porch which I would never have thought of. Helped me to find good local suppliers so I could choose the stone I wanted. Once he was ready to do the job, he was very responsive and responsible. The work was done well and close to the estimate.

Short version: From start to finish, this was a good experience. I would recommend Tom to anyone. Tom called based on my initial request within a couple of hours, and came out to give us a quote later the same day. This blew me away especially because we were at least 20 miles away. Tom understood the requirements we had, offered some suggestions as to how it might come together better, worked consistently on the job, came in on the estimate price, and met all the requirements. When we encountered dry-rot behind the original steps, we worked together to address this, so it was not an issue. There was a minimum of disruption associated with the construction, which was important in a community of town-homes.
Description of Work: Tom replaced a concrete walkway, brick staircase and landing at our townhouse.
