When I first began my search for a masonry contractor, I took the prudent route and solicited estimates from six different service providers. Of the six, only four responded with phone calls; of those four contractors, only three showed up in person to actually look at the proposed work; of those three, only one contractor actually conducted himself in a professional manner, taking his time to measure out the scope of the project, took accurate measurements, recorded the information, spoke to me about my expectations, provided me with his approach to the work, assured me that he would personally be doing the work, offered references for jobs he had performed in the area, suggested ideas after LISTENING to what I was wanting to do, and then promised that he would have a written estimate emailed to me that same night. True to his word, that same night Bob Guggliocciello emailed to me a detailed, written estimate which outlined the scope of the project, the phases of the project, the materials he would be using, the estimated time it would take, a proposed start date, and a reasonable price for the work, which included all materials, special equipment requirements and taxes. It was straightforward and easy to understand, and encompassed the whole project. This was for the first project - the foundation, chimney and steps. The project was estimated at $22,435. Bob only asked for $5000 partial payment to start the job. This was important to because it showed to me that Bob had a viable business model that meant he was going to be around to finish the job as well as start it. He also didn't ask for another installment payment until he was more than half way done. And true to his word, Bob was on-site every working day to do the work himself along with his small crew of workers who have been working with him for over fifteen years. This means that the quality of work is consistent and that the actual owner of the company is standing by his work. While doing the work, Bob and his assistant masons were focused and I always had the impression they were acting like they were working on their own homes, with the professionalism and care they were using in doing the masonry work. What was also impressive was that at the end of each work day, they took the time to make sure the work area was clean and organized. They gathered their tools and materials and placed them neatly to the side, to make sure that my access to my driveway and home were not inhibited in any way. Also, during the course of the work, Bob took the time to show me what was being done and explaining the progress of the work, and why he was doing the work in the manner that he was doing. He always took time to answer my questions. During the course of doing the work, my family and neighbors were commenting on how great the house was looking and that it looked like a new house. Bob picked up four new jobs from folks in the neighborhood who were not only impressed by his work but by his work ethic. Throughout the project, I asked Bob to do some small additional tasks that he gladly did. And when the job was done - the estimated price was the price that I was charged. There were no surprises or any increases. And Bob personally came back and spent a whole day to make sure the area was cleaned and looked like he and his team had never even been there. All my family and neighbors have done nothing but praised the way the house looks. and quot;This looks great!and quot; and and quot;It's like a brand new house!and quot; and and quot;Wow, this is so beautiful - it really has transformed the house!and quot; has been the consistent reaction from family and friends who had seen the house before the work was done. Some had even drove past the house because they didn't recognize it after the great work Bob had done. The cultured stone that Bob applied to the house was probably the most difficult to apply since it is very time consuming and the application involves a lot of detailed work. In addition, Bob used real state to outline the border of the house and on the front steps - whereas a lot of other masons used cultured stone for these pieces. The difference in quality and how it looks is remarkable. I have had two friends who are general contractors visit me and they both told me that the work that Bob did was top-notch. To me that was the icing on the cake - when you have people in the business - people who really are peers - give you that kind of review, that really confirms that the work is of the best quality. I appreciated the professionalism, integrity, patience and pride that Bob displayed in his work and in his dealings with me. It was for that reason that I when I decided to re-do my backyard, and replace my deck that was damaged from Sandy with a whole new look using pavers, and even thought of having an outdoor grill island built, that I asked Bob to give me an estimate. Again, Bob followed the same approach he used with the foundation and chimney. He provided a detailed estimate, etc. The whole process was a repeat of the first project. Bob again did the work and again was on time and the estimated price was the actual price. And the reviews from family and friends was just as astounding. They couldn't believe how my backyard had been transformed. Bob had done it once again - exceeding expectations and conducting himself with professionalism and integrity. The backyard was a challenge and Bob offered many ideas and suggestions to help. If a homeowner is looking for a mason who does the best quality work, who stands by his work, who has an excellent work ethic, and is a man of his word and operates with integrity and takes great pride in his work, and knows what he's doing - then Bob Guggliocceillo is the mason you should be using. I recommend Bob without any reservation and know that whomever uses Bob will be extremely satisfied with the results.

The work was perfect, when the job was complete you could not tell they were there, the job came in under the estamited cost. I think that anybody who needs this kind of work should look no futher than this company. I have recomanded his company to two other people that need new driveways.

The first time I received an estimate from Bob he quoted me two separate prices. The first one was for my driveway and the second was for my sidewalk. The driveway was for $6000.00 and the sidewalk was for $300.00. Then I decided to only do the sidewalk. When I called to let Bob know that I only wanted the sidewalk done, Bob changed the amount from $300.00 to $900.00. I don't understand why he wanted to charge me so much more, and it makes no sense to pay so much more. Bob tried to justify this price change by saying that he needed to bring in special equipment. During our first conversation Bob offered to deduct 10% off the price if I paid cash so I wouldn't pay taxes, which I think is very illegal.

it went well work was done in time frame ,cleanup was great workers were friendly and propuct was great

Bob did a great job all around! He showed up for the estimate on time and emailed me the quote as promised. After accepting the quote he scheduled me into his calendar, and the date was set and he showed up and started as scheduled. The job took 3 days and he worked around the tenants with installing temporary wooden steps as he worked on replacing the 5 sets of brick steps. He did an exceptional job and the new limestone steps turned out great. I plan on using him to do future brick work at the apartments. I would highly recommend using Gugliocciello Masonry.

We would highly recommend Bob. He exceeded our expectations. Bob was prompt, reliable and performed all work to our satisfaction. He was extremely professional and helped guide us through the many design decisions we had to make. His work is flawless! When the job was completed he made sure all work was done to our satisfaction and cleaned up all areas that he worked in.

Bob and his assistant worked in very hot conditions for 3 days replacing a very bad leaking water problem because the cosmetic stone facing in the front of my house had deteriorated. The carpet in my living room was affected. I was given a quote before the job was started and, even though a lot more damage was found that was not expected, I was not charged any extra for a very well-done, professional job.

The top of my front porch was lifting and the corner foundation was cracked. I was worried it would fall and then create a problem with the roof. I contacted this vendor through email and he called me within five minutes of my email. He was at my home the next day, gave me an estimate and showed me pictures of his previous work. He not only completed the porch but also replaced my supporting poles and put stucco on my steps so it looked uniform. He completed the work on time (within three days) which was a good thing. Ten days after our meeting Hurricane Sandy blew through. I am so thankful that I found someone reliable and professional. I have been receiving nothing but compliments on my porch.

An excellent experience with these skilled masons. My fireplace is featured on their web site www.LGMasonry.net
