Rock Solid General Contractors Corp

Perfect. Quality work. James and his crew were on time and professional.

James and his coworkers did a wonderful job. Rock Solid installed a concrete patio for me and they did it in a timely and professional manner. I am very happy with their work and I would use them again and I would recommend them again.

I've hired James and crew for two projects now - first, to replace my garage floor, and more recently, to replace my front walkway and steps. In both cases, James and his team did exceptionally high-quality work. I couldn't be happier. I look forward to hiring Rock Solid to repair a failed retaining wall next. Highly recommended.

We had a great experience working with James and his team to install a patio in our backyard. James helped us understand the different available materials and methods for installation, and he was transparent about pricing. He even encouraged us to come to the masonry supply store with him to see the stones in person to make sure we liked what we were getting. James and his team also helped us solve some drainage issues in the backyard, repaired our side stairs and replaced the stucco, and fixed some issues with our front walk. Even when unexpected scenarios came up, they were handled thoughtfully and efficiently. Everyone was very friendly and worked really well together. It's very clear James cares a lot about his work, and he wanted us to be happy with the result. Overall everything went faster than I expected and looks beautiful!

Rock Solid has done tuck pointing on our 1935 brick colonial house 10 years ago and they were great. The repair work is still holding. Fastforward 2022, RS came back to work on redoing the bricks on back patio. Just as before, quality is great, price point is good and time estimate accurate. James Walsh is patient, answers any questions before starting projects. It was a pleasure to work with him and his team. We highly recommend Rock Solid.

James and his team were great to work with. They were professional. Completed the work on time and on budget. James was quick to respond when I had questions, and was very clear on the work that needed to be done. He was also very understanding and patient with a nervous neighbor. I will be working with James on another project next year.

James and his team take pride in their craft and were easy to work with throughout the project. We had to repair the patio, and replace the walkway and front and back stoops. The finished product is gorgeous and exceeded expectations. Some things I'd like to highlight: - James came out promptly for an initial visit, provided a quote, and came in on budget - The stone they selected was beautiful and craftsmanship top notch - I'd hire James again for future projects and highly recommend

James and team showed up when he said they would, did good work and finished quickly. I'd hire them again for masonry work.

James was a pleasure to deal with, friendly, knowledgeable and prompt. We needed our concrete garage floor replaced, involving removal of old concrete and pouring new concrete. It turned out there was some water under the old floor (well under grade) so James added plastic sheeting under the new floor. Also pointed steps. He brought as many a 5 workers to the job, all appearing very competent. The work looks great. Would definitely recommend Rock Solid.

Outstanding! James responded immediately to my call. Came to the house within one day to give me a quote (on a Sunday, with my approval). His crew was able to start very quickly, was very professional, and handled our fairly big job in a few days. James has a way of educating you in an area you likely are not familiar. It is comforting and reassuring. Others tend to yes you to death. As anyone should, I had multiple quotes. James was very competitive with his peers. He's the guy you want. James also shows on the job every day. Also very comforting and reassuring. Three of my neighbors had quotes from him before he left! Hire James!

James and his crew did a brilliant job. They were very efficient, did high quality work, and left the site clean. James has also been good to follow up the work with phone calls to suggest things I could doto make sure the concrete cures well. I would not hesitate to have them back, and will certainly call them when I have additional work to be done.

The crew was on time everyday and worked all day. They were very professional and courteous. The pricing was fair and James' knowledge of the job was incredible. He's been in the business for a long time. I would hire him again and again if I needed stone or masonry work. He's a very nice guy and I highly recommend him and Rock Solid General Contractors for any type of stone work you may need. If I could give a 6th star, I would in a second. Excellent, smooth business work and business transaction. Thank you James.

Mr Walsh explained everything to me (especially that they were grounded in soil and needed to be grounded in cement) and did an excellent job at a very reasonable price with a very good crew just as promised. ( a very pleasant gentleman as well).

We really cannot give enough positive feedback about James Walsh and his very competent and pleasant crew! Our concrete front steps were in dire need of a facelift. We decided to add bluestone treads and brick risers. Our first dilemma was that the facade of our home was “used brick” and we weren’t sure how to match it as best as possible. James told us what to look for and sent us to his contact at a local brickyard to be sure we’d be satisfied with our choice. After selecting bricks, he sent us to another place to choose bluestone and pavers. He carefully explained all the choices we had for filling the “field” on the landing, i.e. whether to use thermal bluestone or pavers and the pluses and minuses of each. From there he helped us to change the design of our front walk (previously cement) and design a walkway in the back of our home from our deck to the driveway. James was fairly priced and accessible for questions before the job and as it proceeded. His crew showed up on time each day and worked carefully, neatly, and diligently. The job was completed on time and looked nicer than we could have anticipated. Our neighbors all came over to compliment the work. On top of everything, James has a great sense of humor and is delightful to work with. He is incredibly knowledgeable about his craft. We would not hesitate to recommend him and hire him again. Check out our photos.

James and his crew were an absolute pleasure to work with. We are very happy with the results and hope that it will be long-lasting. They worked very clean. James was here with his men each day and kept us appraised of progress. The work was completed on time and as expected and it all looks very good now. Very happy and highly recommend.

The project went extremely well. I can’t say enough about the professionalism shown by James Walsh and his magnificent crew. I called for an estimate after reading all the glowing reviews on Angie’s List. The fact that my location was in Northern Westchester was not an issue. He was very accommodating. We spoke about what I wanted and the ideas I had and he offered his opinion and sometimes alternative suggestions based on his vast experience. Due to changes in the weather, the start date was delayed, but James kept in touch throughout. On the first day, he and his crew came out to inspect the site and take measurements. They also manually broke up the concrete walkway...with sledge hammers🤪. For the next three days after that, they were here every morning at 7:30 am. His crew was amazing. They and James all worked together like a well oiled machine..not wasting any time. Their craftsmanship was outstanding! You could see the respect that they had for each other. James was great at finding solutions to potential problems. With the driveway apron, there was an issue with the depth of buried Verizon cables. With no info from 811, Verizon, or the City, I was ready to give up on the project. James was very encouraging saying that they would go very slowly and carefully and make it work somehow. In the end, we had no problem with the installation and it turned out beautifully. In another instance, the stone yard did not have the pavers that I’d chosen for the walkway and James went with me to select a new paver, offering valuable advice about the preferred size and layout suitable for my space. We selected a 3 piece paver set that neither of us had intended and it looks fantastic. He discovered that, because of a height difference, we could not use the same pavers bordered by bluestone on the front door platform. We decided to just go with all bluestone on the platform to maintain a uniform height. After trying to brainstorm other options, James suggested a colored bluestone for the center. I was a little hesitant because I did not want the colors to clash. He reassured me that it was neutral enough to work. I trusted his judgement and it looks wonderful! James is a very trusting person. He asked for no money upfront or throughout the job...no 1/3 now, 1/3 halfway through, 1/3 at the end. With him it was simply he does what you ask him to do, and you pay him when he’s finished. That’s rare these days. There was no additional monies tacked on at the end of the job....even if he paid more for materials than anticipated. The costs were not passed on to the client. The job site was left immaculate. All debris was removed and even some that they didn’t generate! All in all, I would not hesitate to work with James and his crew again. They were very meticulous in every detail. You could see the pride that was taken in what they were doing. James is very lucky. He’s got one of the best crews around. At the end, he and I walked through to inspect each of the areas. James was very patient in answering all my questions and concerns. After that, it was “call me if there are any problems and I will come back and fix it” and they were gone. After having worked with James for a mere 4 days, I’m sure he meant it! You will not regret hiring Rock Solid General Contractors!

Janes was very transparent and consistent regarding pricing and what needed to be done throughout the process. Would definitely work with him again.

James and his team did an excellent job replacing the curbing in front of my driveway. The weather held us up for several weeks but James stayed in touch and started the work as soon as the weather permitted. The finished curbing looks absolutely first rate, James paid particular attention to how the new curbing connected to the pavers at the foot of my driveway and to the curbing on either side of my driveway. James was a true pleasure to work with and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him for any masonry work. He is a true professional.

I had some bluestone steps which were coming lose due to water damage from wear and tear that I wanted reset. James was extremely responsive, personable, and did great work. One of the best craftsmen I've found on angies list.

James and crew demolished an old crummy slate sidewalk and poured a nice clean concrete one. We talked about the design and shape of it and James was very accommodating to what I wanted. I am not a trusting person when it comes to contractors, but James earned my trust. I scratched the year in the setting concrete, and my homage to the company that poured it (photo below). I will surely hire Rock Solid again.

Excellent. From the outset of the job James Walsh provided a clear explanation of the various challenges of the job and our options for how the work could be done. In the end we were very pleased with both the informed decision making process and the quality of the work performed by James and his team. Great process and excellent work. I will be recommending Rock Solid to others.

Mr. Walsh and his team are truly artisans. We couldn't be more pleased with their work and flexibility. We had the unusual circumstance of having to have our oil tank in our basement replaced on the same day as the re-pointing work was done. Mr. Walsh worked flawlessly with the other company allowing both tasks to be completed perfectly and quickly. We would hire him again in an instant and would recommend him highly to anyone. He worked on our basement as if it were his own. As if all of this wasn't enough,Mr. Walsh is personable,humorous and kind with a stellar work ethic.

Everyone was great! It was a pleasure dealing with James.

Absolutely hands down one of the best experiences with a contractor ever! James came by soon after we first contacted him and gave us a very thorough inspection of what needed to be done, what didn't need to be done, how he would approach the job and then gave us a very reasonable estimate. He came by a second time to go over thoroughly what work was to be done and to put that in a contract. He promised a 3 day job and it was exactly that. He and his crew were on time, professional, cleaned up each day, and did an amazing job. Our old patio is like new! We are so very pleased. Honestly, we knew he was to be trusted when our dog, Minnie immediately took to him, even following him out to his truck when she first met him. And Minnie pretty much hates everyone, so if she gives James a solid four paws up, you can take that as word (or bark). Really, really pleased with James and his team!

From the first phone call with James Walsh to the completion of the job, I would have to say it was great working with James. Everything was professional. Mr. Walsh kept his appointment with me, went over the work and was honest and gave me all great options on how he would conquer this job and gave me his best choices on what would work for me. We agree on a price which was the best out of three other masons. He kept in touch with me until the day he said he start the project. All I can say is that his work is outstanding and he kept the worksite spotless. I am completely impressed and would have no problem in recommending Mr.Walsh to anyone I know if they needed work done at their homes.
