"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."

"Mike was super attentive via text and voice calls. His workers were professional, as was he and we could not be more delighted with the quality of work and finished products. He was a dream to work with addressing all of our concerns, giving us a timely response and being readily available if we had questions. I would highly recommend him if you have any masonry or structural work needed at your property.  His attention to detail was incredible. We are absolutely thrilled with the results of his hard work and are so thankful we found him on Angie's List.  What a prize!

"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."

"Paramount Pavers just finished my second project with them. The first was 4 years ago, a driveway and a wall. I was so pleased with their work, that there was no hesitation calling them to come back and build me a new patio, and walkway. As before, Isaac and Rudy came through with exactly what I envisioned. Their staff were timely, pleasant, and did beautiful work. I would not hesitate to call on Paramount Pavers for any future projects!"

"Very happy with job completed. I had a old stone wall between me and my neighbor with a protrusion from an old tree that needed to be corrected. Fix It Masonry was able to do the job exactly how we asked and results look great. Very professional and courteous. And very flexible about schedule despite bad and unpredictable weather. Would definitely hire again in the future!"

"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."

"I just want to say thank you to Jose and his crew in doing a fantastic job installing thin brick veneers in my living room. The end product was great and I could not be happier. Just watching him and the team do the work was really nice to see. Jose really pays attention to the details of the work, he laid out multiple options for me when it came to laying the brick, to the grout design as well as different sealing options. Also he treats your home as if it was his own as his work was very clean and organized. My job was rather unique as I had custom tv mounts and sound bar mounts, he was able to work with the setup nicely and I am grateful for his services. I highly recommend for anybody looking for good quality honest work. Thanks again Johnny ..."

Masonry questions, answered by experts

Yes, you can cut patio stones with a circular saw. Similar to using an electric grinder, you will need to use a diamond blade as this is the most effective blade for cutting a material like stone. The stone must be wet when using a circular saw to ensure the cut is smooth.

Yes, you can technically use a pressure washer to remove paint from brick, but it comes with a significant risk of damaging the brick surface. A high-power pressure washer can be fast but may leave the brick looking unsightly. The recommended method is to first apply a chemical paint stripper, following the product's instructions, and then use a stiff metal bristle brush or a pressure washer on a low-pressure setting to remove the loosened paint. Due to the risk of damage, it is often best to hire a professional who can use low-stress methods.

Yes, but used or reclaimed bricks can be more brittle, cracked, or uneven than new bricks, so they’re harder to cut cleanly by hand. For that reason, you should take extra care when scoring and striking, and expect a higher chance of breakage. If a brick feels especially fragile, score deeper before attempting to split it.

On average, a quality exterior brick stain can last between 10 and 20 years, and sometimes even longer. While it will look its best for a minimum of three to five years, its total lifespan depends on several factors. These include the quality and type of stain used, the condition of the brick, and the thoroughness of the surface preparation, such as proper cleaning. Following the manufacturer's application instructions and applying a sealant as a final step is also crucial. The stain's longevity can be affected by your location, climate, and the brick's exposure to harsh weather, high traffic, and other elements. Over time, the stain may begin to fade or look dingy due to weathering, erosion, dirt, and debris. Compared to paint, brick stain generally has a longer lifespan.

Brick is the closest choice when seeking to capture the timeless look of stone with a more practical and budget-friendly option. When comparing stone versus brick siding, the price range of $200,000 to $400,000 for average brick home construction is dramatically lower compared to the cost of building a stone home. If you'd like to keep the stone aesthetic without the cost, stone veneer and manufactured stone are both less expensive than real stone.
