The job is impeccable! I would highly recommend Earth & Stone Masonry. The owner is a stand up guy who communicates very well and gives honest and true time evaluation as to when he expects to be complete. In fact they were so busy that when he gave us our estimate he admittedly told us that he was out several weeks to start our project and was very forthcoming about when he would be able to start. After speaking with him and seeing his portfolio we knew we had to wait. Well the wait was well worth it. We are so much more than pleased with the work performed in our home.
Description of Work: We had a stone fireplace surround with hearth and mantel installed.

I have to say, Bill Davis is one of the best contractors we have ever dealt with. From start to finish-he was just a joy to work with. He came out immediately after we contacted him to look at everything and give an estimate. He was on time and enthusiastic about having the chance to give us his thoughts and ideas. This was almost the entire front area of our home that was in desperate need of a makeover so we had a lot of questions and concerns to make sure we were all on the same page with regard to the overall look and vibe. Bill listened to every neurotic question I asked and always gave thoughtful answers. He had so many great ideas that we had not even thought of. He seemed to understand very well what we wanted and assured us it would be beautiful when complete. We felt comfortable with him and gave him the green light. He was booked out for a couple of months, but we decided to wait it out:) When he finally started it was all day and so exciting to see the progress that was made every day. He had a crew of two amazing guys and Bill was on site every day. Any minor concerns we had along the way-Bill and his crew were always there to come up with a solution. He was never dismissive or annoyed with us. I really felt like we were a team-that rarely happens with hired contractors. They were done in about a week. Everything he completed exceeded our expectations. It's all simply beautiful. Our home has so much more curb appeal now and we cannot wait until spring to be able to paint and add landscaping. I know how tough it is to find good contractors and good people. Bill, is indeed, both. He is not the cheapest guy on the block, but you get what you pay for. If you need serious stone, paver or masonry work done-hire a guy like Bill that is an expert in this area. I have full confidence that he will always be available if we have any questions or if anything needs tweaking in the spring. Don't hesitate to hire him for a second. He's a an excellent contractor and an excellent human being. And that counts in our book.
Description of Work: Removed existing walkway, porch stair and retaining wall and replaced with new pavers, stone steps and paver wall surround and a new retaining wall.

I can't begin to tell you what a fantastic job Bill Davis and his crew did. They removed the existing shrubs which was a huge job, as they had been there close to 30 years. Bill worked with us designing an entry that far exceeded my expectations. Prior to beginning the job we were given several samples of different stones to chose the colors of the stairs, treads and retaining wall. He even made a mosaic for our landing, which he hand cut to perfection. We will enjoy the beautiful work he did for many many years and I know it increased the value of our home substantially. Bravo to the entire crew who worked full days in the extreme heat! We will be calling you when we are ready to do our back patio.

Bill was a pleasure to deal with. Him and his crew spent 2 full days doing repairs to our front steps. They left our property spotless, and answered all our questions. To be honest, at first I thought the price was a little high, but then after seeing a crew of 3 men for full 2 days straight, the price was more than fair. Excellent, honest, and a pleasure to deal with. Would not hesitate to hire again, or to recommend to someone.

Bill and his team were consummate professionals. He was sensitive, intelligent, experienced, honored our requests, positive, thoughtful, punctual, honest, hardworking, and incredibly pleasant to work with. We found him to be a gentleman. He and his team are some of the best contractors we have worked with in the area to date. We highly recommend Earth and Stone Masonry!
Description of Work: Bill did stone work for us - creating 3 retaining walls and the bones for a new garden bed. He also put large stones around our well head to help insure it was safe from people potential backing into it in the winter since it is adjacent to our driveway. He also applied a smooth, even, perfectly graded coat of Item 4 on our upper driveway area.

It was great. It was falling apart so he did that work and he did the deck overhaul. It was excellent. Everything about them was very professional, professional and they did a great job. They cleaned up when they left and my house isn't falling down up there. He seemed like a go-getter kind of person and he was very polite. They came out right away to give us an estimate. The price was very good so we went with them. It took them just a couple of days to be here and then they are there every day on time.

Description of Work: About 25 feet of existing slate stairs were ripped out, wooden forms built and new concrete stairs poured. |Bill of Earth Stone was extremely personable, and put a great deal of thought into the layout of the new stairs. |The carpenter sub-contractor who built the forms for the stairs was excellent, double checking small details with us as the forms went in, making sure that future improvements like fences and gates were taken into consideration. |Due to an issue with the concrete sub-contractor and then some confusion about permitting requirements, there was a 3 week delay of work. Bill from Earth Stone found another concrete company, and the whole job was done about a month after it had started. Some of the stone walls around the stairs were necessarily damaged during the process, but were put back better than before during the clean-up phase. The new stairs are lovely, and a number of neighbors and friends have complimented them, and asked who we used. I would definitely use Bill and Earth Stone Masonry again, but I'd check with the town about the permitting requirements upfront.

Bill Davis and his crew Greg, Jerrry and Rob were awesome. They were professional and punctual with an outstanding work ethic. Bill saved us from a project started by another mason gone bad late in the fall.. Bill asked for, listened to, and integrated all of our input throughout construction to create exactly what we wanted. The quality of his craftsmanship and attention to detail is unsurpassed. Unfortunately, in Decmeber the weather did not cooperate and allow completion of the project. Bill promised to return as soon as the weather permitted. As promised, as soon as the ground thawed, Bill called to let us know that he will be returning to complete the project. I would recommend Bill Davis to anyone needing any of the services he provides without hesitation. He is honest, reliable, trustworthy and truly a stone artist.
Description of Work: Beautiful bluestone sidewalk and patio, stone facade on front and side of house, retaining walls along sidewalk and patio, stone firepit on patio, stone stairs, and custom stone and ceder mailbox.

It went really well. They put a lot of thought into the shape and style with me so that it would function as I wanted it to, making several trips to my home to assess the job. They did the work on time and as promised and it's a quality job.

Since 2010 we have had Bill come and work with us on a number of projects. This is a review of Bill I wrote in 2010 for "Old House Journal:" Bill is wonderful and his craftsmanship is exceptional! We were in the middle of major house repairs when we realized our 200 year old foundation needed repair; Bill was able to squeeze us into his schedule and he did a great job, even the new mortar matches the old. Because his work was such good quality, we had him come back and rebuild the opening to our home's original 200 year old cooking fireplace and three stone walls around our gardens that the previous mason did not construct properly. Since 2010, Bill has been back in 2012 and again in 2013/14 to rebuild more foundation and garden walls and design and build the stone stair entrance to the gardens. Bill and his crew do a fantastic job!
Description of Work: Rebuilt our 200 year old foundation; rebuilt stone walls and retaining walls in and around our extensive gardens from the ground up; repaired our 200 year old cooking fireplace and built a beautiful stone entrance staircase from the house level to the garden level.

Bill is very personable and professional - easy to talk to and never felt like he was putting any pressure on me. Bill and his crew went beyond expectations filling in gaps around the windows, repointing everywhere that needed mortar repair, and did a fantastic job patching the stucco. We had a large crack in the basement that he repaired as well as 3 window frames they built out nicely. It really feels like the house is complete and solid now. No more easy access for pests! While foundation repair may not be the most glamorous of house repair, I'm really excited to have the foundation solid, sealed, and looking fantastic!
Description of Work: Bill came by and inspected the fieldstone foundation on my old (1900) home to first determine its integrity, then make some suggestions. He pointed out a lot of different areas that could use repointing inside and outside, as well as stucco repair. Bill and his crew came out and did a fantastic job repairing all the mortar outside the house and inside, and added stucco on the outside.

First off, Bill is a gentleman. Professional in his communications and explaining in what needs to be done and how. Patient and well mannered. His working crew employ the same qualities and they get along well with each other. Which shows that they enjoy the work they do, which I believe plays an important role in the quality that they produce. Also, Bill returns phone calls. The work started on 11-17-11 and was completed and the site was well cleaned up on 11-30-11. Bill is also honest and fair. He had stated that if he could get his backhoe into the working area, he would reduce the price. For which he did by 1000.00. I was very grateful for this. Bill and his crew showed up on time every day and worked even when dark had fallen. He had set up lights to continue working and tents and shelters to protect the work-in- process from some minor rain we had during this time. Bill was very patient with all of my concerns and questions I had as the job progressed. They were very careful and protective of those areas of my house that were not involved, but in close proximity of the work being done. This also speaks of professionalism and respect. When the job was finished, I was very pleased. I only had a few concerns about a stone or two which he took care of immediately The wall is beautiful and you can see that Bill had taken care to see that the wall and its "stone pattern" matches the pattern of the stone chimney which sits above the wall. In the end I feel that they did an excellent job, I'm happy with the whole process and how the project came out, and I would definitely hire Earth and Stone Masonry again for my future masonry projects.
Description of Work: Removed stone retaining wall and set aside for re-use. Excavate for a new frost footing and reinforce with rebar. Rebar will extend into the footing and up into the wall for strength every 18". Landscape fabric and drainage gravel will be installed behind the wall. Gravel will be at least 12" deep and the entire height of the wall. A 4" white perforated pipe will be installed behind the wall as well and exit to daylight. The wall will be capped with on-site stone as well as stone supplied by contractor. Blacktop behind the wall will be patched if necessary. If any of the blacktop gets disturbed in the process, a clean cut will be made and hot blacktop will be blended with the old. Tar will be applied to the joints. The new wall will be built in the traditional style and be the same length and height as the existing wall. Site will be broom swept upon completion.
