We had a very old wooden fence in our backyard that was practically falling over and after discussing it with our neighbor we decided that it was time to upgrade to a block wall. After all the usual due diligence searching for a contractor, we decided to go with G.F.A. Masonry. Best decision ever! Not only is George a really nice guy, but he and his crew were very professional. They were on time every morning , kept the job site clean (which is nice because it was my yard), they even asked if it would be ok to play music (which they kept at a normal volume so it didn’t bother my other neighbors). George said it would take 2-3 days to finish the wall, good to his word it was done in 2 and when they finished they cleaned everything up like they had never been here, even put up a temp fence to keep my dogs in the yard while we wait for the guy to come install our gate. We are very happy with our new wall, as is our neighbor. Looks great, and we’ll never have to do maintenance on a wooden fence again. Plus now our dogs can’t see into his yard and bark at his cat anymore. tl;dr Very Happy with our new block wall and will definitely hire George again the next time we need any concrete or masonry work done!

George F. Acosta of GFA Masonry and GFA-Masonry.com Lic# 198455 made many oral and written representations which he refused to fulfill after he was paid substantial down payment. His masonry work was inspected by the industry expert retained by the Contractors State License Board which determined that George F Acosta's work of GFA Masonry "Doesn't substantially meet accepted standard for good workmanlike construction."  They further declared his efforts to be “Damage” to the property.  When presented this evidence, Mr. Acosta continues to confess ignorance of the problems.  GFA Masonry’s contract required down payment in excess of that allowed by law.  A principled contractor would try to appease his customer before facing a CSLB inspection and subsequent lawsuit.  George F. Acosta of GFA Masonry and GFA-Masonry.com Lic# 198455 lost the law suit and his subsequent appeal.Ha was

I can go on & on about this human being who has been nothing but a Rock in my shoe, BUT as a PRO Masonry & Concrete Contractor, I will always from this day forward will always go with my GUT feeling (because I did have a STRANGE Feeling about this Person & did not want to Work for him, feeling that he was a person with bad intent) & felt that I would have problems with him, he called me & called me to sign the project (slow times I went with him, and started his project, he really was happy with everthing untill it was time to pay me what our contract had read) If you as a potential customer would like to speak to our Customers that are satisfied with our WORK!

Went Great! I was uncertain about basic design of the brickwork and he worked with me to come up with a good design. He was very good with change orders and very easy to work with.
