Mark Monnette Masonry

Mark did great work for us. We're preparing our house to sell and needed some general concrete repairs done. He returned a request for an estimate promptly, let us know when he could perform the work, showed up when he said he would, and did a great job at a really reasonable price.

I called 3 companies that advertised this service. Mark was THE ONLY one that called me back! And he did so promptly. I called him at the beginning of the week and he had the project done by the weekend. He was able to use the extra bricks I had on hand and the results were great! You could hardly tell the difference from existing bricks to new bricks. Mark was personable and reasonable and performed the service quickly and expertly. I would highly recommend him for any masonry job.

We have worked with him before. It went great. I have a cement goose on my porch, and due to weather, the goose had a crack on the base. I mentioned this to him in passing and he fixed it at no charge! He also fixed a door that was scraping for no charge!

It went very well. I would use them again.

Mark has always been quite helpful. I'm not able to complete the projects myself, so I know I can rely on him. He's completed several small masonry projects over the past 2 years.

Excellent. Mark returned my call promptly and had an estimate for me within a day. His was the most reasonable estimate and he was able to come out and take care of the problem within a week. If there were any questions that arose as he was doing the job, he checked with me to make sure what I wanted and provided advice about issues he saw as he was working. I never felt those suggestions were made in the interest of creating more work for himself, but were truly what he would do if it was his home. He was also prompt and very pleasant to deal with. An excellent experience from start to finish.

Mark returned my call the same day and performed an estimate a few days thereafter. Mark provided the best estimate and was also the most knowledgable of the other contractors I spoke with. He replaced a cracked block under the stoop and applied a protective concrete coat around the entire base of the stoop.

Mark was great. We have used Mark for masonry work over the last seven years and have never been disappointed. He is always on time, reasonable in price and a quality worker. I would highly recommend him to anyone. This is one service provider who we have stuck with through the years.

All three projects went very well. Mark was friendly, communicative, punctual, precise and committed to making sure the work met our demands. When one of the stones was knocked loose a few weeks after completion, he even came out and reinstalled it at no extra charge. A contractor I'd highly recommend.

My experience with Mark was mixed. His end result was satisfactory, and the price was very reasonable, but it took way too much effort on my part to get him to do the work. The masonry on our front porch was cracked and crumbling so I called Mark to see if it could be repaired. I knew it was in bad shape, but was hoping for a repair, not a replacement. I was very clear about my hopes for a repair in the message I left for him. It took him a week to come out and evaluate the site (seemed like a long time to wait) and left me a quote for ripping out the porch and replacing it with a new concrete stoop. I assumed the brick was too unstable to be repaired and took a look at his quote. It wasn't acceptable. We have a brick walk leading up to a brick stoop, so a concrete replacement would look sloppy. I called him back to ask for a quote for a brick stoop. The price was several thousand dollars. I asked if the masonry could be repaired. Good thing I asked, because it could. I really didn't want to work with him at that point because I had the distinct feeling he was trying to get as much money out of me as he could by turning a simple repair into a big job. I had very little luck finding anyone else, so I continued on with Mark. He had to come back out to do a new quote. This took at least another week and he seemed bothered by having to travel from Dublin to my home in Worthington in order to work with me. The new quote was for $350 which was right in line with the information I'd read on Angie's List for similar jobs. I was planning on waiting a while for his schedule to clear so he could do the job, but he was able to fit me in sooner than expected. He completed the work, and it looked OK. Parts were done beautifully, but parts were barely acceptable. Bottom line is that my stoop is stable and safe, so I'm fine with the quality of the job. The very day he completed the work, my husband wrote him a check. He cashed it (and it cleared my bank) that very same day. Normally I wouldn't think twice of such a thing, but given that he tried to get me to agree to a much bigger job, and then needed my money within hours of completing the job, I'm led to believe he was perhaps in financial trouble and was being truly dishonest about the original scope of the job. Very unprofessional.

Everything was positive with them. I had a couple other people that I got bids from tell me that no one could do a good job for that price, but he convinced me that he could and I hired him and everything was perfect. He also did just find on reconstructing the concrete step.

Mark did a great job for a very fair price! This was a big job, and every aspect of it went well. It looks great - exactly how I wanted it to look. Mark is a perfectionist and it shows. He was also incredibly easy to work with - friendly, punctual and dependable. He called frequently to let me know the progress of the limestone cap cutting at the stone yard, and he installed it as soon as it was ready. Mark is a great guy, and a true professional!

Our sidewalk caved in with a gaping holeMark came out and provided the best estimate. He was very personable gave a work estimation date, then called and completed the work earlier than the date estimated. We were quite apprehensive because we were not sure why the sidewalk failed to begin with. Mark was able to show us that the neighborhood contractor had run out of concrete on that slab and used the sludge which caused it to fail. Mark did an excellent job and afterward provided his own cones and lumber to rope off the area. My neighbor came down to check out the job and he has done construction work. He inspected Mark?s work and indicated it was done very professionally. Further he indicated that Mark used high quality concrete and that more than half of the cost of the job was put into the concrete itself. Further, my wife was supposed to be back by the time Mark finished but was caught in traffic. Mark called me on my cell and I realized no only was she late but she would be later because she needed to pick up the kids. Mark waited for more than an hour to ensure that someone would be there to watch the concrete while it settled (tiny hands and foot prints for the neighborhood). Excellent price and great experience. I would recommend Mark any day.

It turned out good. He was nice to do business with.

Everything was done beautifully and the work looks great. I plan on using him for a future job as well.

Mark came out promptly and gave an estimate. Called and came back to do the work when he said he would. Asked my wife and me if he had missed any areas of tuckpointing on stone front porch and walk and then tuckedpointed a stone wall on the top which was not part of the original request.

Mark was quick to reply to my calls. He provided an estimate for repair. The price was reasonable. The work was done promptly and professionally.

Mark was great. Was punctual and completed the job on time and as estimated. He did a super job. You can't even tell where the repairs were made; blend in so well.

We needed to have the front stoop replaced. Mark, the owner, gave a fair estimate and did the work himself. He did not expect the old stoop to be as thick as it was and had to get a jack hammer. It turned out to be an all day job but he stuck to his estimate.

Mark did a fantastic job, cleaned up great, and was amazing.

He did excellent work. He was the only one to take the time to come out and look at the project when others felt it was too small of a job.

It went fantastic! I was very pleased with the results and would recommend him to others!

Fine - Mark is quick, efficient and reasonable

Mark was wonderful to work with. He returned my call shortly after I phoned, and promptly provided us with a bid which I felt was very reasonable. We had been concerned that the cost could have been alot more. He completed the work a couple of days later, and it looks awesome! We are getting ready to put the house on the market, and so pleased that that the house will now show so much better.

Mark did an excellent job! He was very good at explaining what would and wouldn't work on our project and was very good at keeping us informed as the work progressed. He really impressed me with his craftsmanship.
