My experience with Mike Cadle and crew was like you see on a "This Old House" segment. Working with professionals is such a pleasure. I had many masonry projects that had accumulated, and very concerned some would be right and some would be a hot mess. Every project completed quickly and every project was done right. From on-site visit, the estimate was that day, the work done within a 2 weeks. All these years, and such a beautiful change.
Description of Work: Using muriatic acid, remove white efflorescence stains on front stoop support wall. Using an electric grinder, remove deteriorating mortar joints throughout front stoop, support wall, and steps. Replace these joints using waterproofed mortar. Chisel out and replace approximately 10 damaged brick throughout these areas. Remove remaining stones on vertical surface of pond wall. Parge this surface using two layers of waterproofed mortar. Approximately 21’ x 6”. Chisel out and replace 100% of the mortar joints on back steps. Install new polymeric stone dust on both patios in back yard to prevent future weed growth. Approximately 700 total square feet.

A very professional and courteous team showed up Monday morning, and started out on the front steps. One step had disintegrated and they reconstructed a replacement for that, while the rest of the crew was busy breaking up the old concrete sidewalk and carrying away the rubble. They were meticulous in removing all debris. The youngest guy seemed to draw the job of doing the main digging for the new sidewalk, but I saw everybody working hard and doing whatever needed to be done. Wednesday morning the concrete was put in the walkways. It looks wonderful. So not only did it improve the safety aspect of the property, it improved the visuals. Thank you very much.

Our initial phone call to request an estimate was almost immediately returned and owner Mike Cadle arrived right on time. Since our 30 year old walk had been laid over a reinforced concrete base, Mike said they could skim off all the old pavers, add concrete to relevel the settled walkway and correct the step height, and then construct a new flagstone stoop and walkway over the original base. We had received two other estimates from companies that wanted to just remove all the existing concrete and start from scratch, something we viewed as unnecessarily wasteful. Mike never even suggested that route, which we really appreciated. His very skillful crew showed up on time, worked diligently, and cleaned up well. The final product is beautiful and we couldn’t be happier. I am very particular about the artistry and how things line up....and the stoop and walk are perfect, even where the walk curves back to the driveway. I am also pleased with the nice variety and balance of color in the natural slate stones they selected. We would definitely choose Capital Masonry for future projects. Outstanding service and product!
Description of Work: Our 30 year old brick paver stoop and walkway was in bad shape, with missing mortar, cracks, and substantial settling. We wanted it replaced and were seeking a new look. We also wanted to relay a rear slate walkway that had cracked and settled, creating drainage issues.

Capital Masonry did a great job for my project. Mike contacted me after I left a voice mail on his cell phone. He and his staff came over at the time they promised. They measured the size of both part and gave me their proposal on site right away! I wanted to build my patio between my deck and my basement stair well. Both of them had a existing concrete step stands. Mike did not like others proposing to remove them. Instead, he suggested to use them along with new pouring concrete base for the patio. The team came over on the day we scheduled and they were very efficient. The project started on Monday morning and they finished the whole project by Thursday. The patio is beautiful and we have enjoyed it right they finished the job. The concrete side apron was great as well. It can help us to prevent moisture from lawn especially during the rainy days like this year. I will definitely hire them again and I would recommend Capital Masonry to my friends and others!

What a fantastic experience! I had the pleasure of working with Mike and Art. they came out within days for the estimate, emailed that within about 5 hours. I accepted bid, but then had to ask if they could move the date up due to hot tub delivery which would prevent access to window opening. Mike worked it out, Art came out the next day and had the job completed and it was done beautifully! I'm grateful for the accommodation of the schedule and the attention to detail that Art provided to create such a great match to the home mortar structure/texture!!

Mike Cadle did an amazing job of assessing our problem situation and proposing several options with the pros/cons of each one. He did not try to upsell us or push a more expensive option, like other contractors often do. Capital Masonry is one of the few masonry contractors that are willing/able to do restoration and repair. Others can only do new installation and will only price new installation. Our repair is as good as brand new. We liked our experience so well -- they made our existing walk look brand new without replacing it. So good that we'll have them out again in the spring to repair/revive our stona walls so that they don't have to be replaced entirely. Details: We had major sinking between the sidewalk and our stoop, and a large gap had formed under the stoop. A big portion of our sidewalk needed removed, and new concrete and brick installed using rebar to connect it to the stoop (not installed properly before). The work was scheduled quickly, completed quickly, matched existing brick and mortar, cleaned up immaculately, and the result is terrific.

Working with Capital Masonry was an excellent experience. Not only were the jobs perfectly and promptly completed, but every single interaction was professional and pleasant. They were quick to respond when we requested an estimate, listened to what we wanted, and provided a written estimate on the spot. They waited for us to get our additional estimates for comparison, and then they shared references immediately when I asked. They even tentatively scheduled the work while our deposit was still pending, and then they were able to follow through on time. The job was finished in barely three days, when they had said it might be four. i called the boss with one question in the middle of the job, and he called back with a reassuring and accurate answer in less than an hour. The workers cleaned up beautifully after themselves, even pressure-washing our driveway unrequested before they departed. This job was not cheap, but I'm confident that we got our money's worth. Besides that, it's always nice to work with a family-owned, established local business.

Capital Masonry was able to do my repair within a couple weeks. They came exactly when expected and did a spectacular job on my stone patio. It looks amazing-especially when compared to the condition it was in before their work. Mike's workers are efficient, extremely competent, knowledgeable , and pleasant. I am very happy with their job and would not hesitate to recommend them.
Description of Work: I had my patio repaired and repointed by a "mason" who claimed he had been in the business for over 45 years. He did an extremely messy job and the patio looked horrible upon completion . I had another company come out to see if it could be repaired. He said that it was done so poorly that the entire patio had to be replaced. I wasn't anxious to replace my patio so I had another estimate by Capital Masonry. Mike was confident that he could fix the poor workmanship to my satisfaction. After explaining what would be involved, I decided to have the repair done by Capital Masonry.

They were also able to provide an estimate on the spot. The installation crew was on time and very professional. They made sure that we were happy with the work performed and cleaned up the work site.
Description of Work: We hired them to remove the existing walkway, and to rebuild and widen the new walkway. We selected to have a flagstone walkway put in and it is beautiful! Our neighbors have already asked who the contractor was that did the work. It really is AWESOME!

I made an appointment with Mike Cadle and he and his son arrived on time and talked to me about my project. After we talked for awhile, he indicated that he wanted to take some measurements, so I left them to it. I later saw them standing around talking and looking at my neighbor's backyard and then my old deck and back door that we are going to also replace, but which were not near the work I asked them about. Finally they left. Two weeks later, having received no proposal, I called and left a message to try and follow up to see if they had tried to send it to me. They replied that they just didn't have time and were not taking on new projects because they are overwhelmed with work and are getting "20 phone calls a day." Well, gee, why are you advertising and offering discount coupons on Angie's List then? And why did you have time to waste coming out to talk to me and and look all around my house? Frustrating and unprofessional. Silver lining is I found out now instead of later.

Mike (the owner) and Garrett came out and gave us a cost estimate within days of our calling for an appointment. The work was started one week later and completed in one day. We are very pleased with the finished product as well as all of our interactions with Mike and his crew. We would not hesitate to use Capital Masonry again, and recommend them to others with similar needs. Note that I rated the price of the job as "A" but I don't really have any point of comparison. We felt comfortable with Mike's initial assessment of the work that was needed and his cost estimate, and since they were ready and able to move forward quickly, we cancelled our other request for an estimate.

They always are responsive and punctual. The bid was a little high but I had used Capitol Masonry once before so I knew the work would be done well. In addition to repairing and replacing all the damaged brick as described in the bid, they repointed the mortar where needed all around the house. I ended up getting far more than I expected.

Mike and Garrett provided a detailed estimate on site. I selected them due to their on site visit, attention to detail, and willingness to repair concrete as well as brick. René and his colleague were very dedicated to perfection and worked thru one of the hottest days of the summer. The garden wall looks new, they did a nice job of matching mortar.

Description of Work: The retaining wall under a fence was broken and needed to be replaced while making sure that the fence wasn't damaged. Also the toppers of the wall and a few other blocks needed to be replaced, but none were as critical as the one stabilizing the fence post. Also the concrete driveway needed to be resurfaced.

First off, I would like to thank Mike, Garrett, Artemio and his team for doing an outstanding job for both the masonry repair and the new flagstone patio. We were extremely pleased with their professionalism, attention to detail and great service during the whole process. I contacted Capital Masonry April 25th to schedule an estimate, and Mike and Garrett came by on April 27 for an evaluation. After a 30-minute walkthrough, they provided an estimate on the spot. The estimate came out to $1,950 for the masonry work and $7,750 to build the flagstone patio. We chose Capital Masonry based off references, consistently excellent reviews on Angie's List, Google and Yelp, and they did not disappoint. The project was scheduled on May 7th and took three days to complete. Artemio and his team were on time, efficient, responsive, hardworking and experts in their craft. The crew was very diligent in cleaning up and leaving the work area nice and tidy when they were done. The masonry work is impeccable and the flagstone patio looks magnificent! The work done has added value and character to both our home and backyard. Given the level of service provided and the quality of craftmanship, Capital Masonry has exceeded our expectations. We are very pleased with our decision in selecting Capital Masonry and look forward to hiring them again for future projects.

This is the second time we've hired Capital Masonry, and we will definitely hire them again. This time they dug out the old mortar in a flagstone patio, reset and replaced some stones. They also pressure washed clean the patio and a dry stone wall that had been covered with moss and mold for many years. They did a quality job, arrived early and worked late. Mike Cadle was incredibly responsive to questions, with preparing a proposal and returning calls. The earlier project involved resetting and re-mortaring a front flagstone walk and steps, and patching a crumbling concrete driveway. The driveway required matching a small stone aggregate. It all looks beautiful. Mike is incredibly conscientious about quality and will call to ensure his clients are happy. He is also flexible about working around other contractors.

The project manager Mike was extremely responsive to our initial query as well as to my many questions during our decision making. After talking to a few other vendors, we decided to go with Capital Masonry and was able to schedule a start date 2 weeks out. After a few days, we received a call asking us if we wanted to do it sooner due to a schedule change, which worked great for us. The crew was there right before their scheduled time and after talking through a few things, they started work right away. They worked solid all through the day until about 8pm in order to get the job done in one day, which we really appreciated. They did an excellent job cleaning up at the end (masonry is a dusty job, for sure) and disposed of all of the extra material at our request. We think the end result is fantastic and completely met or exceeded all of our expectations. We had been wanting to do this for many years and are so happy that it came out as we had envisioned. Excellent craftsmanship and professionalism from everybody we had contact with. I would recommend Capital Masonry and will definitely call on them again if we have a need.
