General Masonry is the only place anyone should ever call for any kind of masonry work. Period. Andi and his workers were beyond amazing. First, Andi came out multiple times because we werenâ t really sure of what we wanted. We basically asked him what we should do with the area as we didnâ t really know what would be best. Then after we decided what we wanted it took us a while to decide to do it (we did a huge project). We got a handful of quotes for the work and he was not only one of the least expensive he also made us feel the most comfortable that is would be done right. The first time Andi came out he gave us his license number and had his insurance company email ME to prove he had insurance. No other company did any of this. He completed the project in two weeks which was incredible. Andi even came on his own on the weekend to make sure the project was finished in a timely manner. He went above and beyond by putting lights in, and when I didnâ t like something we had planned, he changed it. The work done is beautiful and they left the place immaculate. Before they were even done we decided to do other projects around the property for him to do, because he is JUST THAT GOOD. More than any of the above I would never use anyone else because of the professionalism and kindness of Andi. I donâ t consider him someone I hired to do a job, I consider him a friend. If you are looking to do your pool, walkway, stairs or anything else if you donâ t contact General Masonry you are wasting your time and money and you are just wrong. PERIOD

The owner of the company, Andy and his crew are all talented craftsmen. They refaced our front porch with cobblestones and blue slate and the finished project looks incredible. They are professional and work was done in a timely manner. I highly recommend Andy and his team. We would hire them again!

Andi and his crew transformed my motherâ s front walk in about three days time. What a beautiful job going from sunken bricks to beautiful grey pavers with contrasting border. The crew was on time every day, Andi reviewed the measurements and contract And work completed without any problems. Actually had Andi measure for project for 2021, because we were so happy with the results!!

Andi is the only mason who will ever work on my house. My house is the gray cape in several photos of his websites . He tackled a very steep incline and built magnificent tiered walls, blue stone steps and walkways, and the patio around my pool. He has also built retaining walls, several walk ways and patios for my home. He recently put up stone veneer on my chimney. Andi is a friend, and truly a man of his word. Andi has vision and he always makes time to talk with you about not just what you want, but what you may need, without ever going over the desired budget. If you want quality work, done on time and on budget he is your guy. His crew is as respectful as he is and I cannot express how happy I found him.

HIRE HIM NOW! There are contractors and then there are artists. Andi has a vision and a gift to envision what you need and make it even better than you could imagine. He will listen to your ideas, tell you how it will work or not and then give you the solution to make your vision come to fruition. Andi and his team are the real deal. Hire him without reservation. He has done amazing and high profile jobs and each one is a masterpiece. They rebuilt main steps for our condo and added blue stone pavers for a walkway. All done professionally, timely and beautifully. They are coming back in the spring to do the other half of our major reno. Hire him now!

I couldn't be more pleased with the work Andi and his crew did. Andi did everything he said he was going to do to rebuild my collapsed retaining wall in the exact time frame and price that he quoted me. I wish I could afford to have him do other work because his workmanship is just beautiful. This was an exceptionally good experience and I highly recommend him. Thanks for a great job, Andi.

General masonry was very knowledgeable , professional and capable. Andi and his men were not only skilled craftsmen but were very easy to work with. They built a beautiful walkway with decorative stone landscaping. They even returned two days later, without additional cost, to wash the pavers and deck as well as make sure everything was perfect. We are very happy with their meticulous and caring work ethic and would certainly use them again.

General Masonry is one of the most hard-working, fair & honest company that I have done business with! Anything related to masonry, stonework or patios/walls, I highly recommend Andi and his team. My retaining wall came out looking great, but it was with Andi's expertise and recommendations as to why. Thank you!

We had about four estimates for the work we had done - new stone steps and stone walkway, plus removal of an existing porch. Andi was our first estimate and also the lowest price. We don't consider the price the most important, but seeing examples of Andi's work and his expertise on the project gave us the confidence to hire him and we were not disappointed at all. They came when they said - within a week, performed with professional quality, cleaned up and did some extra work not included in the original job, which they did not charge for. It looks beautiful!

I would never use this company again and never recommend him to anyone, he took advantage of a widow and has no idea what he is doing, cement mixture was not prepared properly which made a mess of my front wall that I have to look at forever because I can't afford to have it redone. Never never use this person or his company if you value your property or money!

Andi and his crew are very professional and thorough. They are easy to work with and do absolutely beautiful work. My schedule was time-sensitive and he was able to accommodate it even earlier than expected. I am very pleased with the transformation of my collapsed stairs.
