"Juan Torres (owner of this family business) returned my initial call within a day and came out the next day to provide an estimate. (I had used Juan a few years ago for repair/replacement of a section of block wall. He and his crew did a great, clean job then, at a very competitive price. Juan even showed up with insurance/liability certs upon our initial meeting for that estimate.) So I knew that I'd be calling him re this built in BBQ repair/remodel prior to install of a new drop in BBQ. Juan provided what I considered a fair price in an emailed proposal sent to me that same evening, so I decided to go with him and forgo the usual 3 estimates I would have obtained from various contractors. I booked the job with him for the next week. They showed up on the agreed day, on time. He and his brothers did a good job involving tricky/difficult drilling and install of vents in the existing block, floating a concrete "deck" for under the new grill, as well as installing an access door for added venting and gas cutoff access. The job took about 1/2 day. All went very smoothly, looks great, and was cleaned up well at the end. I was confident enough in Juan and his co., to look no further when hiring a mason for this project. I'm completely satisfied and can recommend Specialty Masonry without hesitation."

"We worked with Ali (sales manager) and Tony (project manager), who took the time to design a project that made sense for our property and our budget, made a number of suggestions and recommendations and were never pushy or tried to "sell" us on something. The crew really went above and beyond to provide top quality workmanship and overall we were in very good hands. Highly recommended!"

"We had several problems with our fireplace. It had started not drawing well despite the chimney having been cleaned a year before.  A lot of fire smell was entering the entire house even with an apparently clean burning fire.  Also the back wall of the fire box had a number of cracked bricks and an earlier patching job done by a former owner was crumbling.  There was similar deterioration on the firebox floor.































































































































Rich came on time for his estimate and immediately said the lower end of the flue might need to be recontoured because there was a flat spot that could cause the fire gasses to rebound downward.  He said the cracking in the back wall was probably due to moisture seeping down through an old chimney cap.  He told us at least some of the bad bricks should be replaced and any remaining cracks patched with the right kind of heat resistant cement.  He also recommended a new concrete chimney cap to keep moisture from penetrating into the porous chimney bricks.  He further suggested a vent to the outside at the back of the firebox to allow air to be drawn in to the base of the fire to assist in the drawing up of the gasses.































































































































But we were all puzzled by why the fireplace was suddenly not working as well as it had over the years. Rich asked if there had been changes in the house, like new windows or vents.  Yes!  We had moved our furnace into the attic and changed the cold air return from near the floor to the hall ceiling.  Apparently that caused an air flow in front of the fireplace that picked up the fire smell and drew it into the furnace, which propelled it throughout the house.  Problem identified!  Rich thought the air vent would solve this.































































































































Before Rich came to do the job, I tried the gas fire starter with no logs on the grate.  Surprise!  Flames rushed out of the cracks in the fireplace floor!  When Rich removed the brick around the line, he discovered a rotten pipe and no real connection between the gas line and the starter.  Another problem caused by the shoddy work done by (or for) the previous owner.































































































































Long story short, Rich arrived for the job exactly on time and spent the whole day with a helper doing all the work he had recommended.  It was noisy and dusty, but he put a tarp covering the fire box and also placed tarps on the floor.  We added coverings for the furniture.  In the afternoon we asked him to replace some more bricks so there would be less visible patching.  He managed to do this and was done before we had guests in the early evening.  We have since tried the fireplace and it works fine!































































































































We did have a little issue about the final bill, as the extent of his work had changed during the job and the effect was not clearly communicated.  We finally worked it out, but it pointed out to both of us the need to be clear about work changes.  We recommend Rich not only for his timeliness and good work, but his thorough diagnosis of, and solutions for, our fireplace problems.

"Noah and his team were professional and efficient. We have the concrete redundant our garage as well as some concrete poured in our backyard and side yard. We also had the garage insulated and new drywall put in with a fresh cut of paint. I especially appreciated their attention to keeping their area clean as we've had a lot of work previously done to the home and didn't want dirt or concrete on other areas of our home. Noah's also a very friendly guy and easy to talk to. Any issues that we had were addressed quickly and appropriately. We're definitely planning on reaching out to him for future projects. Thank you!!"

"When we moved into our new home, the one area that needed improvement was the tub and shower. Both were original fiberglass that had seen better days, and both had old glass doors that were deteriorating around the edges. Steve came out and gave us an estimate, explaining exactly what he would do. He also gave us local contacts to buy the tile, and fixtures. Workers showed up on time, laid out dropcloths on the floor and cleaned up after themselves everyday. Work went right on schedule with the timeframe Steve said. Finished product went beyond are expectations."

"I have a lot of items that I store in the bathroom, and my bathroom that I had before the remodeling project had zero place for storing things, which meant that everything was either on the counter of the vanity or on the floor. It was a big cluttered mess. The bathroom I have now fixed all my storage issues: we put in new shelves and niches for all my cosmetics and shampoo bottles. And now I actually have space to move around! I have Tom and Lucas to thank for this. They did a great job not only with my master bathroom, but with the two others as well. I wanted a nice clean and white look with subway tiles. I know many people look down on subway tiles, so I was already expecting Tom and Lucas trying to talk me out of it. But they didn’t. They took my wishes to heart and executed them. Which was the case with all the decisions I made. If I was uncertain, they offered extremely helpful advice and suggestions, but they made sure that I was getting the bathroom that I wanted. I really enjoyed working with them and will hire them again if I can come up with another project for them to work on."
