Eddie and Simon

What a great experience and final product. Eddie and Simon were relentless in finding the perfect stones for the new retaining wall and front steps. Installation was done beautifully and with a masterful eye. They also installed the new railing on the steps, which came out beautifully, too. All of our neighbors have dropped by and commented on how incredible everything looks (and how jealous they are). I can't say enough about their professionalism, craftsmanship, and drive to please their clients. Plus, they're really nice guys!

They did a tremendous job! I was happy with the quote, they came early the next day, and they completed what others said would take days in one day. The work is beautiful and they are just great folks! I am so happy.

Eddie and Simon did a superb job repointing the masonry between the granite blocks in our 170+ year old garage's first story. The granite garage also serves as the foundation to a second story garage above it, so it bears quite a load. This garage faces the water and the Northeast Storms year round give it a good pounding. Additionally, it's on a major thoroughfare going up towards several industrial parks, so 18 wheel trucks, dump trucks and other heavy equipment send vibrations through from 5 AM until 8 PM most days of the week. Eddie & Simon did a great job reinforcing and repointing the granite blocks. They also did some repointing of the brick foundation in the house. I can't say enough good things about them.

Simon and Eddie did excellent job on resurfacing our basement floor with concrete. I can’t wait for it to dry so we can finish the space and use it more. They are professional, kind, respectful and hard-working. We will be hiring them again and future projects. Price was fair as well. Thank you!

Excellent. Eddie was great to work with. Fast response for all aspects from quote to completion. Great workmanship and reasonable price for work. Very knowledgeable and explained work needed in detail. All work preformed as promised and when promised. They left the work are clean and in great shape.

He repaired the stairs exactly how I wanted.

Quick response to my call and got it done within a week of my request. Courteous and affable fellows. Repairs look great. Will have them back for work on a rock wall.

Very good. Well satisfy

Eddie, Simon, and one crew member completed the stonewall repair efficiently and professionally in about six hours. (A job that would have taken me more like six weeks had I tackled it myself!) I primarily dealt with Simon, who was affable and easy to work with. He showed up as scheduled, both to quote and perform the work. As other reviewers have noted, communication was primarily through text message--no written quote, no contract. Those who desire a paper trail could perhaps retain their texts, but I don't think the lack of documentation would be an issue, as Simon seems to be a stand-up guy. The stonewall had collapsed in one area and was teetering in another. Simon & team knocked it down and build it back using the existing stone--which was a significant cost savings compared to buying new materials. The wall looks better and sturdier than it has in years. The team also went above and beyond the quoted scope of work. They filled in a pothole in my driveway with leftover gravel and mortar. And they spread some extra crushed stone around the garden walkways. This was an completely unexpected and welcome bonus, and indicative of Eddie & Simon's approach to delivering value to their customers. My only concern was over the somewhat uneven quality of the work. As shown in the photos, in some areas the mortar is smooth and tidy and in others, more coarse and sloppy. (Perhaps due to different workers working on different sections?) This is not a huge issue as this is a rough-hewn wall that already had a rustic feel. I might apply a bit more mortar in certain spots, but overall, I'm highly satisfied with the outcome. The cost was $1400, exactly as quoted and less than other quotes I had received. I gave the trio a $100 tip to split (even though I have read that you generally don't tip a business owner).

Overall, I'm very happy with the work. Saimir arrived 30 minutes late, but he completed the work on my front stairs in a few hours. They look great, the price was much better than the other masons I asked to get estimates from, and he was extremely nice. I'll contact him again if I need any other brick work done.

Eddie and Simon were professional, extremely responsive and did a great job. Would definitely hire them again for other masonry jobs!

Excellent job on the stairs! The work was completed as discussed. Very courteous and professional. Would not have been able to hire the if it weren't for Angie's list.

Excellent! Eddie and Simon did a great job. Very professional, fair price, always cleaned up after themselves, and kept me informed about everything. I would definitely hire them again!

Eddie and Simon did a great job. They came by promptly after we contacted them about a stair replacement to offer an estimate of both replace and repair options, offered us the best rate among other top-reviewed Angies List masons whom we contacted, and did great work that earned not only our satisfaction but also compliments from our neighbors. When there was one small problem after the conclusion of the project (a slightly wobble in the railing), they came back promptly to make sure that it was fixed. Eddie and Simon are responsive, professional, do great work, and do so at reasonable rates.

The men did a great job, and I found their pricing very reasonable.

Simon was amazing. Arrived when he said he would for an estimate and turned it around in about a week with the job completed. The team went above and beyond to assure I was happy. They moved and replanted flowers and plants that were encroaching my neighbors property and enlarged the garden by a few feet to accommodate the relocated planting’s . They returned the next week to add more stones for the garden edge because they ran out due to the extra feet of garden. Highly recommend Eddie and Simon! You will not be disappointed.

Eddie and Simon were extremely responsive, professional, competitively priced and did outstanding work. We're renovating our home and my existing front steps were the original stones from 1923. The mortar was cracked and trapping water against the house causing water damage. Further they simply looked very dated. I called Eddie and Simon who stopped by my house within 24 hours. They reviewed the job, detailed what needed to be done and quoted me a price on site. They even said, "if you don't like the work we do, don't pay me." That was some guarantee! Of course I didn't need to take them up on their offer because I was extremely happy with the work that was performed. Oh, and they even let my son get in on the fun. We couldn't be happier.

Simon was very responsive in discussions the project. They used a lot of old stones rather than purchasing new stones. Hey worked for sevens days to finish the project. I am very satisfied with the work.

they did a perfect job and were a pleasure to work with--they were willing to repair properly rather than tearing out

Eddie & Simon saved the day when a less than professional contractor not only did a poor job on installing our new our front stoop and walkway, but also did not complete the job. They showed up with tools in hand to assess the problem, identified all the issues and told us how they would fix them. We got estimates from four masons and chose Eddie & Simon as we felt they were not only knowledgeable but they were also honest, direct, and fair in their pricing. As it turns out, they even modified their schedule to squeeze our job in (including part of a holiday weekend) because we were on a deadline to complete the masonry before landscaping work could be finished. I agree with the prior reviewer who said not to worry about lack of paperwork (we sorted everything out via text msg) because Eddie & Simon are talented and nice guys who know their stuff and get the job done right!

Eddie and Simon were fantastic. They did beautiful work; they did it when they said they would; and they finished promptly and did a good job keeping us informed of their work status. They did a great job of melding their new stone and brick work into the existing adjacent brick work. What especially impressed us was that we have a lot of plantings near the house, and we assumed they would get destroyed to complete the repointing of our foundation. But Eddie and Simon worked carefully around our plantings, and after they were done you could hardly tell the gardens had been disturbed at all. As we negotiated the deal with them, they gave us good references - including addresses of places they had already done similar jobs. They are not big into paperwork or contracts, which can feel risky. But we documented everything in email exchanges, and they performed exactly what we had discussed.

Amazing - they were efficient and very reasonably priced. I had tried other places on Angie's list but most said they were too busy to take on my one day job in the middle of summer and or gave me ridiculously expensive quotes if they would do it. Thank goodness for these guys, they are life-savers - they were pleasant, prompt, and did beautiful work, highly recommend!!

Very well.

I talked to Simon and he gave me a great price on it. We agreed on the price and he told me that he will start work in 15 days or so. He called me and started work on time. They broke the existing wall and took dirt away from behind and saved all the stones. They used the same stones so the new wall can blend with previous one. The new wall came out to be beautiful and I cannot praise them enough. They were on time, sincere with their work and the job done was fantastic. They even took care of big (i mean really big) stones that were encountered when they started digging.

They did a beautiful job! I could not be happier!
