Masonry Arts

The repairman did an excellent job. He arrived on time, was very polite, and extremely detailed in his work. He explained the process before starting the job and ensured I was satisfied after the job was completed. I would definitely use Masonry Arts for future projects.

Bob responded promptly to my request on Angie's List for an estimate. It was no problem to wait almost 3 weeks before my work could be scheduled. Javier did an excellent job doing the masonry repair work needed. Bob noticed areas on the foundation that needed a little attention and that was taken care of as well.

They have done an excellent job for me and my neighbor also hired them and they are finishing up with the job for them and they are doing an excellent job over there too. Price was within fair reason.

Overall Construction went well. Slight delays due to weather and material availability. When I pointed out a problem with the final product, they immediately came out, removed the stone that was not installed correctly and replaced it. It looks fabulous. I am very pleased with the work that was done. I would not hesitate to recommend Bob to anyone.

Bob was responsive, calling the number I requested him to contact me on promptly. We made an appointment for him to look at the work and provide a bid. He was on time and suggested more repairs than I had originally noticed, due to his experienced eye (looking for issues that should be resolved/repaired before they become larger issues). I accepted his bid for the mortar repair and some caulking and asked if he would also provide a bid to replace the sidewalk leading to my home. Unfortunately that bid was more than I was prepared to pay at this time, so I asked if Bob's team could patch my walkway as a temporary fix, until I can do what I really want to do there, and they could and have. I suggested a time to do the work this week, and Bob called Thursday evening asking if they could do the work on Friday - which we arranged to work with my schedule. I'm very pleased with the results! I don't know how much more someone can ask for. I felt like the bid was reasonable, the work is very high quality (mortar mixing to match is an art, and Bob's team has it down!), and it's a weight off my mind to have it done and done well. I would not hesitate to call Bob for any kind of masonry work in the future and would (and have) recommended him to friends without hesitation.

We gave him a call and he kind of brushed us off so we didn’t end up using him. He seemed uninterested in the project

They did an excellent job and I highly recommend them. If I have any criticism at all was it took a long time to arrange for them to give me an estimate. I would definitely recommend them and use them again.

Bob was very accommodating and gave me a reasonable estimate. He mentioned that it will be approximately 2 weeks before the work can be done. It was less than a week, he texted me that Javier was able to come the following day. I am 100% satisfied with his work and Bob's excellent professionalism. My neighbor who noticed the work Javier did on my western wall was very impressed and intend to contact Masonry Arts to work on their crumbling foundation in the near future.

Very well. Bob Able came out and provided an estimate which I approved. He scheduled the work a few weeks out due to availability. The mason came out between rain storms and completed the work in two days. Very methodical, patient hard working man. Very high quality work. Grout matched exactly including joints.

Bob is a great contractor but also a very busy guy. Despite being busy he stays in close contact with you the whole time throughout the process and keeps you updated. He also checks in regularly on the work that his team is doing. Unfortunately we had had many days or rain so we had to wait in between days to ensure that areas dried out before he began the work. Once we were dry again his team was prompt and worked quickly but accurately to get the job done. He repaired significant cracks in the stucco cause from the water damage to the upper porch. The fix to the cracks and then the stucco that he placed on was a great match to the rest of the stucco on the house. His team also repaired the damage to the base of a column that was also caused by water damage. we had to strip off the old plaster and stucco that was there to expose the wood; let the wood base dry out and then he reinforced it and repaired the column base to its former shape. It looked good. I recommend Bob's company to everyone.

The team did a fantastic job. The team took there time to ensure they got to all the creases and crevices and the exterior looks fantastic. We did have a bit of rain that slowed them down but they were on time and would return the next morning to begin the task. I do have to say that this is one team that ensured they were always on time and they would always clean up after themselves. Also I had to fix the paint color of the trim a couple of times and they were very patient with me as i got that done. Of course I did pay a little bit extra for the new paint and labor but that was my doing. Overall the house looks great and we are pleased with the work and the timeframe it took them to accomplish it. Also Bob was very involved the whole way and was always there to check the work and consult with me on the project. He is also very receptive to my multiple phone calls. The fence was stained in a jiffy and with no difficulties. It looks good. I recommend Bob and the team for any exterior painting jobs!

Bob and Javier were great! Javier did the foundation coating, which took a little over two days. I'm way late in submitting this review. My apologies.

It was "quick and painless!" and over in one and a half hours.

Bob Abel, owner, was extremely accomodating about scheduling. Javier did the work and it is well done. We were very satisfied with the work and dealing with these very nice people.

He did a really good job. He was very punctual, professional and honest. He didn't try to sell me anything that I didn't want.

Bob is a really great guy. I needed someone to add some stucco to a section the builder missed and he also fixed some cracking concrete sections of my house. I couldn't be more pleased with the results and price. I would highly recommend him and plan on using him again this Summer for some flagstone work.

I have nothing but great comments regarding Masonry Arts. Each step of the process was completed with excellent communication, product satisfaction and timeliness. Bob took the time to match the bricks for the mailbox with the bricks on the house. In fact, he visited 3 brick yards in order to select the best match. His communication regarding the day the work would be performed was timely and constant. There were several days of rainy/non-rainy weather, but Bob always kept in touch as to when to proceed with the project. I know this was only a small job for this company, but I felt that I was just as important as the big jobs. Thanks Masonry Arts!!!!

Overall with the whole process I was disappointed. Apparently the customer should show no concerns when the job doesn't start til 1100 each day. I would continue to get excuses. I believe if I was informed that supplies would be obtained each morning and a start time is not known, I would have been okay. But when I was told I was ridiculous to expect people to be early, I had had enough. I told Bob, the owner, that we would agree to disagree. I think he has too much on his plate to handle his jobs at the present time. From now on I will go the " contractor route" and not deal with drama. Tough, his subcontractor's employee's did a beautiful job, there is too much disorganization for my taste. Bob failed to mention to that "my crushed granite was used for the project since it was inadvertently taken he gave a discount. Too, it was more than 3 days to complete the job, and he states he was early on the job, however, failed to mention it was because someone else cancelled.

Bob took the lead in making sure that every detail of the job was attended to. Everyone was very punctual and professional. All workers were very hardworking and took pride in the work. Bob made sure to use the best materials possible, no shortcuts at all!

I was very pleased with Bob's all-around service on this job ...including returning my initial call promptly, the consultation/estimate of the job, his crew's cleanliness and professionalism and the overall cost. Labor price was expensive since they had to chip away at each stone to match the existing stone on fireplace , but it was very well worth it and I was VERY pleased with the final product. I WILL be using Masonry Arts again for future jobs and recommend them highly.

Looks like new. They matched the mortar color perfectly. You cannot tell the difference between old and new.

I wish I would have found Bob, the mason, 20 yrs ago. He was knowledgeable and helpful in recommendations about the fireplace. Even with his tight schedule, he is going to try and work us in. One of his employees did the two hour job the next date. Great Job!

Bob was great to work and included options to fit our budget. He made several trips to meet with us answer our questions and concerns. His design ideas on the shape was much nicer than the ideas we had. It took them 3 days to do the installation and they came back two days later to seal the concrete. The guys did a pretty good job of cleaning up each night before they left. Bob came by during the job to check up on the progress. Upon completion, he even cleaned up some areas of the sealer that accidentally made it onto the flagstone. We chose Masonry Arts because of the reviews, but were still somewhat anxious because of issues we've had with contractors in the past. This turned out to be one of the best experiences we've had! We have received lots of complements and are thrilled with the results. We have referred a friend to Bob and plan to use him in the future.

The owner supervised the work. The workers were punctual, or called if they were going to be unable to keep an appointment time. The work was done quickly, neatly, and with good craftsmanship.

Bob Abel, the owner, visited my house and gave me an estimate for both jobs - the flagstone walkway and the stone veneer repair work. The project was delayed due to some rain forecasts, but once work began everything went smoothly. Preparation work is key in laying flagstone and Bob's crew did a great job. I wanted the walkway to be built from my driveway, around the side of my house, and then to my backyard wooden deck - about fifty feet in all. Bob suggested Oklahoma Flagstone as a good match for the stone siding on my house. Great suggestion because it looks so good next to the stone on my house. He also advised a pcv pipe under the walkway to catch the rain coming off my gutters. Bob spray painted an outline of the walkway on the grass and the crew went to work. They cleared the grass and dug down a few inches to lay in the foundation mixture. They then machine pounded the foundation mixture compact and hard. Next they cut out a wire fence for support and laid that over the compacted foundation. Then the stone and mortar work began. The stonecutter was a true craftsman and artist in cutting and laying the flagstone. Attention to detail in both the stone and mortar work was outstanding. Weather conditions were tough with temperatures in the 100's, but the crew labored on. When the crew was done, Bob inspected the work and I couldn't be happier. I was equally pleased with the repair work done on the stone veneer on my house. I had done some initial repair work and it was an eyesore. Bob's crew matched the color of my house's mortar work perfectly and now one can't even tell where my botched repair was. They also patched every other crack on the house. Great job!
