"We had an AMAZING experience with EA Masonry! We called them to ask for a quote to install a 15’ x 20’ patio in our backyard, as well as repair our damaged bulkhead. Dan and Luis were willing to come by the next day - a Saturday - at 8am (this time was convenient for us; they also offered weekday availability). They were on board with our idea from the beginning, which was refreshing because other masons pressured us to make our job bigger than we wanted. This was a problem because our house and yard are fairly small and a larger patio would have been out of proportion. When they arrived to give the estimate, they came prepared with pictures of a few styles of patio pavers so we could immediately see what options they recommended for our space and budget. Once we chose a style we liked, Dan and Luis said they’d check this year’s price of the pavers and then get back to us with an estimate. By 10am that day (again, a weekend) we had a written estimate. Once we accepted, they came back two days later to bring various colored pavers so we could see them in person next to our house. This was perfect; other masons asked us to go online to select colors, and it was harder to envision what the pavers would look like in our space from a computer screen. Because it was a small job and very early in the season, they were able to fit us in their schedule right away, and after only 2.5 days of work we had a stunning finished patio, plus cracks patched and the repairs we needed for our crumbling bulkhead. Throughout the process Dan, Luis, and Kevin were incredible - they arrived when expected, were respectful of us and our space, and kept us apprised of unexpected developments (like the fact that the walkway adjacent to our new patio was installed slightly crooked by the previous owner, so they would have to make minor adjustments to the placement of the patio so it went with the rest of the house). When they were done it looked perfect - they integrated the patio seamlessly with the rest of our house (bulkhead, existing stairs, etc.), and it looks like it's been there all along. They also re-routed the existing downspouts so that rain water didn’t pour all over our new patio, which no other mason offered to do. Working with EA Masonry surpassed all our expectations; their prices were reasonable, they were wonderful to communicate with, they genuinely listened to what we wanted (but provided great opinions when we asked), and the final outcome is way better than we could have imagined. We’ve already asked them for estimates on other projects for our property, and we can’t wait to work with them again soon!"

"Wow! Unbelievable! If we ever have a water problem again, Pioneer will be the only waterproofing company that we call. We were getting some water in our basement which has a stack-stone foundation and radiant floor heating. We interviewed three companies and were particularly concerned about a solution that would stop the water without compromising the radiant tubes that were in the floor. Initially, Pioneer recommended a baseboard system that would run along the outside of the wall. Upon inspection, Mike Oliveira discussed a traditional drain to sump pump solution. We reiterated our concern about puncturing a tube in the floor and Mike assured us that he and his team would hand chisel potential problem areas to avoid the tubing. Moreover, this solution would save us roughly $2K and give us a lifetime guarantee vs. a 25 year guarantee on the baseboard system. The team showed up on time, cleared a 50' span of concrete by Noon, uncovered two sections of radiant tubing without puncturing the line, installed the moisture barrier, sump pump and new concrete by 4 p.m. They had to drill through a hefty header board to connect the pump line to an existing drainage line that carries water away from home and that was completed by 5:30 p.m. Mike came back in a week and we tested the fix using free-flow from our sprinkler system -- it worked perfectly. Subsequently we've had some consistent spring rain and absolutely no water in the basement. The team (including sales, service, billing, installation) was professional, courteous and available when we had questions. They saved us money, fixed our problem and provided a lifetime guarantee. We're both ecstatic and amazed!"

"I needed to replace the front steps because they were pulling away from the foundation. I received several quotes and Republic Masonry (Henry) came in with a budget friendly price. Henry and his co-worker were professional and very detail oriented and cleaned up when the job was complete. The stairs look wonderful! I would highly recommend Republic Masonry (Henry) for all your cement projects. Kathy Faye"

"After at least 30 years of major wear and tear, our bluestone patio around our swimming pool required a MAJOR restoration. The bids we got from folks ranged widely, but only Ion seemed to understand what it would take and came in with a more than reasonable bid. This was no small project and took over two weeks to complete, and every step of the way Ion and his one-person crew were on the job promptly each morning and took care to consult us on every issue that came up. He also took the time to make certain we could deal with various daily tasks and even a major crisis (our water heater tank broke, flooding the basement in week two -- meaning they had to deal with heavy traffic in and around their working area at times). Despite the tumult, the progressed nicely throughout.... The restoration itself looks wonderful and enhanced the look (and certainly the value) of the property. We were constantly consulted on decisions related to material and design, and the Ion's craftsmanship is evident in the final product. We highly recommend I.C. Masonry and Ion will be our first call whenever we have need for his skills."

"Very responsive, highly professional, quality products and workmanship. Provided clear, comprehensive explanation of problem situation and solution options. Did not oversell; in fact, was very clear to point out what was not a significant issue needing a fix when the situation called for it. Highly recommended."

"I had a couple of issues that the Eagle HS Improvement's crew addressed in a prompt, professional and honorable manner. I had a fieldstone foundation as well as a fieldstone bulkhead cellar access that needed work. The fieldstone bulkhead was replaced and they also took care of a cracked poured concrete back porch - as the fieldstones that were originally supporting that had literally rolled out. When they took care of the bulkhead and replaced it with a poured concrete foundation, they also extended that under the back porch to support it! The cellar door inside the bulkhead was also updated. Further, they added support to the back porch roof by making the existing supports more sturdy! The fieldstone cellar walls were patched, built up and smoothed out both inside and out leaving a much more desired professional result! They also kindly accomplished the rearranging of material around the cellar to allow them access to the walls. I was very pleased with their work!"

"EXCELLENT! They cleaned the entire property which was full of leaves, acorns, and tree debris. It looks amazing and just in time for my son who will be home from his Military deployment. :)"

"Great value, nice-clean work, Joshua was honest, reliable and started the job ahead of schedule. As a general contractor myself, I will be using these guys again. The work was brick repair, concrete, stairs, retaining walls, foundation repair. Finish product was exactly what I was looking for. Glad I found Sublime when I did. Great job guys!"

"Ultimately, the decision was made to retain more of a horticultural service in order to address removal of some invasive plants and blight issues with fruit trees in the yard. With that said, these folks were prompt in getting back to me right away, and I met with a gentleman named Steve. He was so friendly, helpful, thorough, knowledgeable and very professional. It is evident that they really care about what they do! Honestly, they would be my choice for maintenance services, so I will very likely reach out to them again in the future once the plant issues are resolved."

"I required some repairs to the masonry of a granite and cinderblock foundation. James is pleasant, clearly explains the work that he intends to do, and shows the results when finished. He fit my work into his schedule and his crew completed all the repairs within a few days. He and his crew removed all the debris when finished. He also adjusted his schedule to address some additional repairs that were previously unnoticed. I highly recommend James and his company."
