Best masons near North Hills, CA

"I’m always happy to give good reviews and say “this is the guy you want.” Demolition was done in an organized way and cleaned up before leaving for the day and most importantly, the finished job is done right and looks great — they are skilled. Joe has decades of experience and has trained his guys very well — they are focused and hard working so they are pretty impressive. Two examples: When the guys dig, they don’t toss the dirt like wild monkeys, they place it as calmly as possible to prevent excessive dust from flying around. That’s the way it should always be done. When they unloaded a pile of sand in my driveway, they didn’t pour it on the cement as most do, they laid down a plastic sheet first and then wrapped that around the pile overnight so the sand couldn’t blow all over the place. And when a little bit of sand falls from the shovel onto the cement, they sweep it up. They are not lazy! And an example of how good Joe is: One of the things he did for me was to put in a drain pipe with a pump. After he installed the pump, he knocked on my door to ask me if I wanted the paperwork that came with the pump or to just leave it in the garage. Workers will usually either just leave any paperwork outside or even just throw it away. Joe took the time to ask me what I preferred before he left for the day. Being respectful and helpful is being smart. It’s so wonderful when you find quality people. They work from 7:30 to 3:30 and play music sometimes but are not talkative to one another. If you want a great painting company, hire Larry Bisordi or Esteban Nunez Casillas. If you want a great masonry company, hire Joe Messineo."

"Very professional, cleaned up daily, the work started as promised and the price was fair and all inclusive. I received additional business cards and have been asked about the work from neighbors, hopefully this brings additional projects. One contact with Angi and there was a very timely call from Masonry Repair Services"

"My project was a 100' long, 7' tall concrete block wall. I met with both owners, not sumultaneously, but separately. Their communication was spot on, they were very friendly and knowledgeable. The work was completed in a very short period of time, the workers were extrememly capable and worked very hard to complete the project. I highly recommend them!"

"VERY well.  done on time, and except for some associated noise under the house, no disruption.  Eric came at the beginning and end of the work; he noticed some minor damage/cracks in the stucco near where the team had done some serious work.  Foundation Works made all the repairs to the stucco, including matching the texture and painting the patch (I had paint already on hand from previous repair work).  I was referred to Foundation Works by neighbors."

"We had increasing issues with humps in our floors which prevented doors from opening and closing properly.  Alpha was able to lower the high spots and raise the low spots from underneath. 
There was also one place at the exterior kitchen wall where the foundation had broken and twisted due to ground movement.  They stabilized and repaired the crack, and poured a partial new foundation in that location.
While our house was bolted to the foundation, they upgraded the attachment methods to meet current codes.
They did a good job and quickly.  They prepared the engineering drawings, pulled the permit with the City, and called for the inspections in a timely fashion.
We can now open and close multiple doors fully, including the front door, which we had not been able to do previously.

"Our front yard needed some structure. Gadi helped design and build two entry pillars in stone masonry, plus a new walkway to the door. The old path was narrow and cracked, and the new one is wide and fits the property better. The pillars gave us a real entrance feel. They also ran low-voltage lights inside the pillars so they light-up at night. It's not flashy, just clean and sharp. The stone matches the front steps, and everything feels like it belongs now. Gadi and his crew kept things simple and stuck to our request. Would work with them again."

"We switched projects and Jose tackled a drainage project instead of the brick path we had originally planned. He did the job well. I did have to mention that French Pipe needs to have the holes on the bottom, not top. We’ve had three good rain storms since the install and the project is diverting water from the house to the street. There were some irrigation lines they hit while digging but fixed quickly. Overall, very friendly and reasonably priced."

"Encore builders did a fantastic job transforming an ugly hillside into a terraced wonderland of gorgeous flowering plants. Brandon was so professional and knowledgeable and continually came by to monitor progress on this large project. He continually conferred with his fabulous crew who worked diligently and meticulously to make this now glorious hillside a master class in expert masonry and engineering. Bravo Encore Builders. A truly Five Star experience."

"Super seasoned crew with Ryan’s leadership delivered outstanding results with complete demolition of existing “cracked” hillside driveway (about 21ft by 30ft), fully reinforced with rebars and fiber lines to protect against future cracking. They have been doing this for generations and know masonry inside out"

"Mauricio is a true professional and a master at his craft. Our outdoor kitchen is so beautiful and functional. He also did all our concrete and pavers which where done to perfection."
