Raleigh Masonry Contractors

" showed up on time both to quote the job and to do the work. It took them about a day to finish the work. During the brick repair they found separated foundation blocks behind the brick and repaired that as well. The finished worked turned out much better than I expected. Also when they cut the walkway the cut was very straight. ...more It looks original and the crack is now gone. I would recommend

and I would use them again.

"To deal with the significant grade in the backyard, the first step was to install a retaining wall. We chose a Celtik solution and are very pleased with how it looks and the quality of the installation. Over 40 cubic yards of fill dirt and top soil were brought in to prepare the surface for fescue sod. Additional compost and soil mix was brought ...more in to prepare beds for planting. About 20 plants were installed along the border of the retaining wall and another 7 plants were installed in the new beds adjacent to the patio.
We are delighted with all aspects of this project--the project design, quality of the work, the team doing the work, and the results!

"This is a long story with a happy ending. Months ago Artworks came out to look at the job and were to email me the estimate. Weeks went by when I did not hear from them. I reviewed them on Angies List with an unsatisfactory report. Artworks contacted me ant sent me a duplicate copy of the original estimate, which for whatever reason had not gotten through ...more to me. Meanwhile, the job had grown, so they came out and gave me a second estimate, and we decided to hire them. Then, the summer rains came, and their ability to schedule our job was delayed by the rain. Finally, at the end of September they were able to do the work for us, and they did an excellent job at a reasonable price.

"I called and outlined the problem and we made an appointment to check the work to be done, whiche we scheduled for the following Saturday. arrived right on time and did the work as we had discussed.

Initial inquiry:
I contacted 3 masons found on Angie's List. The three were all well rated and 's were particularly excellent. He was the first to respond and did so within a few hours of my sending the inquiries. We set a time for him to come by and give a quote.

Quote:
He came by ...more the next day and provided a quote. I felt comfortable with him immediately and felt confidence in what he was proposing and in the calibre of his work. Without hesitation, my husband and I agreed that we didn't need another quote. His quote was exceptionally reasonable and he said he could do it the next week. We hired him immediately.
Before leaving
, he powerwashed the steps in order to clear some mossy areas in advance of the actual work. The powerwashing was at no addtional charge and he did not ask for a deposit either.

Day of work:
He arrived right on time, had all materials needed for the job (not the case with some other contractors I've worked with) and got immediately to work. After a while, I went out to check on progress. He'd drilled out

between 95% of steps (a much higher percentage than initially anticipated.) He said that the steps were in poor condition and he didn't want to do it piecemeal, but wanted to do a thorough job. No, the quoted price did not change! I believe this is the

of a true craftsman. He wanted to see this done right, regardless.
The job took much longer than I'd anticipated and he worked non-stop for 6 hours! The finished product is amazing. He truly
IS
an artisan of the level that is rare today. It's clear that he takes pride in the quality of his work. We're SO SO glad that

did the work for us. I recommend him without hesitation.

On a personal note:

is a professional artisan who is also highly personable and easy to work with. Both my husband and I found him to be very honest, hard-working and a pleasant person!
