I called Ben on Tuesday, he came to my house the next morning at 8am and gave me an estimate. I hired him to redo the mortar in between the front steps. We shook on it and he said that he had an opening that same day. A little after 11 am on the same day, the job was done. He was prompt, gave a fair price, did what I paid him for, without any baloney. I don't know about you but that's what I am looking for when I hire someone. If you want a mason who is prompt, professional and charges a fair price, then call Ben the Mason. Oh last but not least, I had a spot of black paint that some other worker that I had hired dropped on my front step. It had been bugging me for years and I mentioned it to Ben. No sooner had the words come out of my mouth, Ben got the necessary tools, from his truck and removed the glob of paint on my front step before I had even hired him, for no extra charge.

This review started two years ago when I contacted the home advisor the many masons that were listed. Ben The Mason had a perfect score and was verbally recommended by one of the workers employed by the home advisor. I chose Ben and his son for my first job which was the recontruction of my front steps with a designer stone and replacing the top platform with a white granite stone. Ben's work was very detailed and worked to perfection. He is very honest and takes conscientious and will advise you on how the job should be done to met your budget. I hired Ben for two other masonary jobs that involved brick, stone and concrete materials. They were to create a new front gray walkway to go along with the new front steps mentioned above. A picture of this is dispalyed in his website labeled gray walkway offset with black pavers. the third job was to replace and repair a forty foot flat field stone wall this summer. Again the job was perfectly done as the two previous ones were done. As an advisor with several years of masonary experience Ben's pricing of a job is very fair and reasonable. He will also tell you what not to spend if the benefit is not worth while. What contractor do you know that advises you not spend additional money ? If i have additional work in the future he will be the one that will do the job one question about it. A great quality to also mention, once he starts a job he finishes it before moving onto the next job most contractors try to get multiply jobs going on at the same time. As I have already mentioned Ben The Mason is the best !

We reached out to Ben about removing and replacing a large concrete step that had eroded over time and already been repaired. The call went to voicemail and he gave a prompt reply back and was on site to provide a quote within 24 hours. His quote was reasonable for the scope of work that accounted for raw materials, debris disposal and labor. Raw materials have skyrocketed so folks need to take that into consideration. He started the work within days of initial deposit and completed the work within a few days. This was expected due to concrete setting times before being able to lay the granite. The job looks fantastic and he left the area cleaner than when he started. We are very satisfied with Bens work and have received several compliments on the new step.

Professionalism and pride of craftsmanship from a bygone era. He wants his name on his work. Your job will be done right, by a guy who is skilled and knows his business.

If I could give more than 5 stars I would. I reached out to Ben on a Thursday at 8 am about repairing the edge of my concrete pool deck. He phoned an hour later and was out by lunch to quote. He arrived on that Saturday with his son to do the work. Other contractors I reached out to never contacted me back. Ben did a wonderful job repairing my concrete deck and cleaned up nicely when finished. I would definitely use Ben again and refer him to my fellow homeowners. He is very knowledgeable and a pleasure to work with.

Installation of granite and stucco over existing concrete steps. Without question - we recommend Ben the Mason. He answered the phone, and my many questions in a friendly and informative manner. Ben viewed the project and gave us a quote. The next day he started the work and completed it in a professional and timely manner. Clean up was thorough. The results are outstanding and we would call Ben again if the need arises.

Ben is the BEST! Ben is knowledgeable, honest and took the time to educate us on our options. We live in a 100 year old home and the foundation needed repair - uncertain as to what was ideal for our home. Ben assessed what needed to be done and did the work! He repaired our foundation and was clean, neat and thorough. Ben is a MASTER at what he does - a real old world craftsman. Thank you, Ben. Paul

Highly recommend Ben! I was very leased with his work. Ben was able to repair a badly deteriorated brick support column in the basement. He also did a fantastic job restoring old brick steps making them look new again. Both projects came out great. Benâ s a super guy, easy to work with, fair and reasonably priced, excellent workmanship. Ben is truly a master of his trade and does exactly what he says he will do!

Had some crumbling brick/concrete stairs after a snowy February and asked Ben to take a look. He came by the house to assess the situation and provided a few options for how we could proceed. Decided to have the damaged stair replaced with a limestone step and he came back a few days later to do the work. He communicated well via phone and text, the price was fair, and the repair is a big improvement over the previous situation. So far we're very pleased and happy to have the repair addressed and we will consider using Ben for future masonry needs.

Ben has done two projects for me. In both cases, he came the day after I called to look over the job and began work within a few days. The work was to repair pillars that were repair stone pillars at the entry to a driveway and front yard gate. The pillars were quite old (1920's?) and were leaning badly. He took the pillars down to the foundations and rebuild them - as good as new. Finally, He put on new caps on the pillars. My wife didn't like them and he came back and replaced them - free of charge. Oh...and, I had some brick work in a chimney firebox that he repaired - free of charge. Hire Ben the Mason! He is a pro!

Ben was amazing. He came out to look at the corner of the fieldstone basement wall that I was worried about. He explained to me that it wasn't a structural issue but rather cosmetic. He said his services weren't absolutely necessary but he could waterproof the area and solidify the older pointing. He was honest and wonderful. He did perform the job and I am extremely happy with the results. I will hire him again and recommend him to my friends.

Hired them in August to repoint all of the foundation outside and about half inside of the basement (brick repointing) also added some waterproofing and everything looks great and I haven't had any water come in the basement as a result of Ben The Mason and his son's great work. Highly recommend them for any masonry project, we also talked about redoing my front steps which I will follow up with sometime in the near future.

Ben was print, professional and easy to deal with. The work was excellent and his attention to detail shows in the end result of the work. Matching repair work to the existing brick work is difficult and Ben did a great job!

I hired Ben the Mason to replace and enlarge our crumbling brick steps with new brick and granite steps. He also needed to repair the area below the door sill (dry rot) and redo a stone pathway to accommodate the new larger size of the platform and steps. I was totally impressed! He was easy to work with and willingly fielded my questions. He is a wonderful craftsman and takes great pride in his work, in which he has more than 30 years of experience. I highly recommend Ben the Mason.

Ben & his sons know their craft. They showed up on time and communicated with us as the project progressed. They poured a concrete floor in our basement and created a gorgeous brick walkway in our yard after jack hammering up the old walk way. . I highly recommend Ben the Mason to anyone needed mason work.

I called Ben on a Monday he said he would be at my house in 30 minutes. 30 minutes later he was at my house. He took one look at my steps and without hesitation he came up with a solution. His price seemed very fair but i called two other masons and had them take a look too. He had the best price, and judging by his reviews i went with Ben. I called him back on Wednesday and that night he started the demo. He promised me he would be done on Monday and he lived up to that promise. I was asking him how he had so many good reviews, his answer was you will see when i am done. Now i know why... He gave me perfect front steps and cleaned up after he was done. We need more people like Ben in this country. His work speaks for its self. Thank you very much Ben, i will be contacting you for future work.
