Get matched with top masons in North Hollywood, CA

"Having managed dozens of renovations over the years, both commercial and residential, I can say that Joe Messineo is the best contractor I have ever hired, in any craft. No minor distinction. A 3rd generation master stone mason, Joe is an old school modern craftsman who produces quality builds. I engaged him to demolish and rebuild virtually all of the hardscape at my home---driveway, side walkways, French drain, brick patio inserts, and over 150 feet of retaining walls. A 7-week job, with more than a few moving parts. Joe’s team, Enrique and Claudio, worked like stunt men in a choreographed manner, carefully removing thousands of pounds of old concrete and cinder blocks, positioning rebar and framing the sites for cement. The worksite was clean and orderly at the end of each day. Then, 2 generations of Messineo---Joe, with a guest appearance by his father, built a complex series of retaining walls and brick inserts, that will clearly last decades longer than the original work from 1959. Every line dead-level, every elevation plumb, and every surface finished perfectly. The concrete team that completed the job with 2 truckloads of wet mix, delivered flawless slabs of new surface. Their overall level of craftsmanship and professionalism is not often to be seen these days, and it deserves recognition when it arrives."

"The masonry replacement was very well done with bricks the closest match possible given my home was built in 1978. I would have appreciated a more thorough clean-up after the work was completed."

"Alex is not just technically proficient. He has an eye for the aesthetic sense of the job as well. I always appreciate when he suggests different possibilities in seeing how a job might be done- different in order to get a more artful (or even cleaner looking) outcome. His work is meticulous and well thought out in its planning. Heâ s done a number of different jobs for me which include laying brick and stone in several courtyards and had a large metal fountain fabricated and installed in my garden, as well as installed a stone fountain in a courtyard. And if that werenâ t enoughâ ¦.he is a wonderful landscape designer. The guy does it all (well, almost). Canâ t say enough good things. Wait, I can. He is ethical and honest, too."

"The crew did a great job repairing the retaining wall and a few brick steps that was damaged by a fallen tree. Would definitely hire them again for future jobs."

"I recently hired Encore Builders for a complete overhaul of my swimming pool, including new plaster and coping, and Iâ m absolutely thrilled with the results! From start to finish, the entire project was handled with professionalism, expertise, and a true commitment to quality. The main goal of this project was to refresh the aging plaster in our pool. The pool was starting to look icky and I had seen some other revival projects done by Encore Builders. The crew came over and worked their magic. The plaster was applied beautifully and smoothly. The end result is stunning â the water looks so clear and glistens in the sun!!! The coping around our pool also needed attention, and Encore Builders didnâ t disappoint. They offered a range of stone and tile options, helping us choose a coping style that complemented the new plaster and the overall aesthetic of our backyard. I didnâ t want much surrounding stone as I also wanted some artificial grass so my dogs can play and the surrounding stone makes the backyard look so much bigger! Brandon and Oz are a godsend!!! If youâ re looking to upgrade or revitalize your pool, I highly recommend Encore Builders. Their commitment to excellence, from design to execution, is unheard of. I canâ t wait to go for a dip in my new upgraded pool! thanks guys!"

"Mike is hands down the best contractor we have ever hired. The previous owners of our house had done some beautiful and expensive hardscaping and landscaping probably 40 years ago, but it was all badly in need of renovation when we bought the house a few years ago. We wanted to restore it all and make a few improvements rather than start over, and Mike was fully on board with that approach from the moment he arrived. All I had to do was show him what needed to be addressed, and he immediately knew the right way to handle everything, including how to address all our concerns about pitch and drainage, since our property slopes down from the street. He restored our property and made it even more beautiful that we imagined it could be. In particular, he had the idea of covering our existing concrete walkways and steps with blue stone instead of demolishing and pouring new concrete--it cost about the same, is gorgeous, and goes perfectly with house and front yard area. But everything he did looks like it was meant to be here--nothing looks like an add-on. In addition to his great design ideas, Mike was very engaged and responsive. Not only does he have a great crew, but he was at our house almost every day checking their work, having them fix details that weren't to his standards, and walking me through what was done and what would be done next. And he always responded quickly to calls and texts to address any questions or concerns we had. This was a huge investment for us and needed to be done right, and Mike did exactly that. We were in very safe hands with Mike and recommend him without reservation."

"Our front yard needed some structure. Gadi helped design and build two entry pillars in stone masonry, plus a new walkway to the door. The old path was narrow and cracked, and the new one is wide and fits the property better. The pillars gave us a real entrance feel. They also ran low-voltage lights inside the pillars so they light-up at night. It's not flashy, just clean and sharp. The stone matches the front steps, and everything feels like it belongs now. Gadi and his crew kept things simple and stuck to our request. Would work with them again."
