"I hired Ron's Masonry for yard work on May 27th, 2024. They helped me out when my original contractor refused to get back to me regarding my lawn and hedge situation. I cannot say it enough. Ron's Masonry is dependable and did an amazing job and saved me a lot of money and embarrassment. I will be recommending them to anyone who needs a hand. 5 star service.⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ And I will be using them again. -Edward Coke, Stamford Connecticut resident"

"Marcelo and Henry from GM Carpentry were awesome!! We originally hired him to replace some siding on our house, which then turned into a bigger job of needing to replace some of our roof (it's always something with home ownership...sigh!). But, Marcelo and his team were SO fast, responsive and reliable. Showed up when they said they would and finished the job (including all the extra stuff) in four days. 10000% hire him for anything carpentry and you won't be disappointed!"
