We replaced our brick steps with new Blue Stone with rock risers. Anthony Franze and his father Cosimo were fantastic and knowledgeable masons. Anthony and I picked the actual blue stone cut from one slab so the steps matched. We picked the risers together and he provided me with a detailed sketch on the placement of the stones. His men are highly skilled masons, polite and professional. The job took 2 days and it looks fantastic. He doesn't do carpentry, so I had to get someone else to put in the new railings. They carted away the debris, and cleaned up the site. Their price was good for the amount of work and quality they provided. I had interviewed others who claimed they were masonry people, but really they were landscapers or gardeners. Franze Masonry are truly skilled masons. His price was right on target, but I decided to add a more expensive finish once he showed me my options. Since this was a long term project, I opted for a rough edge cut to the stone which I preferred. I am very happy with his work, the quality of material provided, the aesthetic of the job, and their craftsmanship. I would highly recommend them and use them again.
