J.C. Masonry Improvements , Inc

We had JC Masonry replace our fireplace. Cathi was great at responding promply. Joey was meticulous about his work, and did a great job! Working with them was like working with family. I wish I could attach pictures, because the end result was unbelieveable! I would definitely recommend them! In fact, I plan on using them again this summer to replace several retaining walls. Just good people!

From start to finish it was a great experience! I love supporting local and family-owned businesses when I can and working with Joey and Cathi was great! The tuck-pointing looks amazing. Joey took the time to custom match the existing mortar as close to perfect as you could get, he takes great pride in his work and the quality was impressive! Cathi kept open and reliable lines of communication with me throughout the entire project. My neighbors were all impressed with the quality of work! I would highly recommend!

Exceptional - Every step of the way, from the estimate to the finished job. They are truly the best in their field. The work looks like the original block work. When the house was built (1962) the bricks that were ordered for the wall called for used brick. I had a couple of brick blocks on the wall that were severely damaged. They were even able to replace those bricks & did not include it in the price of job! If you have any masonry concerns, give J.C. Masonry Improvements a call. I hope this family owned business stays in Florida as they will be my go to for any masonry needs!!

Amazing! Can't tell that it ever needed repairing. Original antique brick was rescued & reused. Mortar is an identical match. House was left cleaner than when they started!!

It was reasonable. It wasn't inexpensive but it was reasonable. They were very responsive. This is the only kind of work they do and they do an excellent job at it. They were experts at stone masonry. They communicated with us very well as the work went along. It was in a couple of different stints but in total I'd say maybe 10 days.

Very pleased with the results. Timely and very professional. Matched the previous mortar as much as possible.

Wow, as a retired construction professional, it takes a lot to impress me. But if you need a guality brick repair done at a fair price, call Cathi. Joey matched a 45 year old brick, and even knew who originally produced it. A true craftsman! Can't give them my highest recommendation.

Working with Joey and his family was a pleasure from start to finish. Professional, thrifty and fun to work with we enjoyed every day of the several weeks he spent working on our project. Throughout the entire time he listened and collaborated with us to create a design which upon completion looked as if it was original to the 100 year old home. Joey's passion for brickwork, creativity, attention to detail and workmanship are unmatched. You may have to wait to get onto his schedule but if aesthetics are a primary concern it is absolutely worth the wait.

Joey was prompt and professional, and a master at his work. Our bricks look great, and he thoroughly protected and cleaned up the work area. They were a great company to work with all around, and I will definitely use them again.

This is the second job that Joey has done for me and I can't say enough nice things about how pleased I am with the work that he did. I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone that was looking to have any masonry jobs done. He and his son (Caleb) were always here when they said they would be and the job was completed when anticipated.

From the first request for an estimate to the completion of the project they did an exceptional job. Cathi is the office manager and coordinator. She did an superb job communicating with me through every phase of the project from coordinating the estimate, scheduling the job, obtaining brick samples to match for the project and billing. She was always accessible to talk to and ask questions. I only remember once that I had to leave a phone message and she returned the call within 15 minutes. Joey is an phenomenal brick mason. To me, he is just as much an artist as he is a mason. He took great care to make sure the project was done right. Like Cathi he was also an exceptional communicator. He took great pride in his work and accepted nothing but perfection. He kept the work site clean and also took care to not disturb or damage the landscaping (bushes and grass) immediately adjacent to the project. When all was finished I was very pleased with the end result. I would definitely call them again if I needed any masonry work done.

We were very happy with Joey's services. He is a true craftsman and did all of the work himself, with the help of his son. He worked closely with my husband to understand our vision and made sure that we were happy with the results every step of the way. Joey was also very accommodating to our budget and schedule, working with us when we chose to purchase our own materials or do some of the work ourselves to cut down on costs. He never pushed against this, but instead helped us to achieve the best possible results in a teamwork environment. We could not be happier with the finished product, and plan to use Joey for all of our masonry needs going forward.

They replied very quickly and they stated that they would not be able to help me because they were in the process of moving out west. I appreciated the call back and customer service.

After the initial back and forth of getting the appointment set up, they were outstanding. On time on the day of the job and very thorough, quality job done. Highly recommend!!

I really like their work ethic. They have been very attentive when they came out to provide the bid. They were very personable and have many years of experience. I appreciated the fact they are a family business and were very responsive to my calls. I received my bid right when they said I would via email. I get the impression they're great people and I look forward to working with them.

This company is very good, so they are very busy, so there was a wait to get the work done, but we got good advice about making sure no damage occurred from the weather while we waited. Plus they were in touch about the scheduling on a regular basis. The work was done on schedule and was highly satisfactory.

JC did an excellent job from start to finish. Joey's repair work went beyond my expectation. He was meticulous and did an excellent job repairing the brick foundation. After finishing the work, he left the basement cleaner than he found it. His wife Cathi runs the office and she is very helpful and highly responsive. From scheduling the estimate to completing the job, they communicate every step of the way. We had to wait several months for them to get to our job, but since there was no urgency, I definitely feel it was worth the wait. It speaks very well of the company that they have a wait list. They weren't the cheapest estimate for completing the work but I am very satisfied and pleased that I selected them.

I can't say enough good things about the work that J. C. Masonry (Joey) did for me. I'm so pleased with the end product that I have plans next Spring to put in a flagstone sidewalk from the back of the house to the front. Joey and his son (Caleb) were very prompt each day while performing the work and were very conscientious about cleaning up at the end the day. I would not hesitate to recommend J.C. Masonry to any of my friends that need brick/stone work done around their house. Again, the final product was such an improvement over what was there before and I can't thank them enough for the excellent job.

After agreeing to wait several weeks for an initial visit and scope of work review I received a written proposal a few days later. I e-mailed a few questions regarding the proposal (mortar matching, examples of chimney caps) and received a response letting me know they didn't think they were a good fit for our project.

They were prompt to return calls and provide an estimate for two jobs (wall reconstruction and rebuilding a mailbox). They started the work for the wall on schedule and matched stone with the existing stone on the rest of the home and completed the work prior to Christmas. The quality was great and we moved forward with the second job.

Being the owner of a company in the construction industry for over 30 yrs. I found them to have responded for our quote in a timely , and professional manner. Unfortunately for us we had a short period of time to get our project completed, and being that they were busy, we couldn't make our schedules work. Therefore we ended up using another contractor. We would definitely consider them in the future.

In both cases I was extremely pleased with the service! They provided a written estimate that was reasonable and scheduled the work promptly. Joey did an excellent job on the actual repair and paid great attention to detail. Would definitely use them again!

Contacted JC Masonry in May to get an estimate on the project. Promptly received a reply. Sent pictures of the areas whe the work would be performed. Received a reply and estimate that also said the schedule was filling up fast and they were scheduling in July already. I signed the contract about two weeks after i received it and sent it back. Cathi replied I would be on the schedule for the week of August 16 and asked if that would still be ok. I said it would. She kept in touch to let me know the date was still good. The week before she said that Joey would be there on the date scheduled to start the project but would stop by the day before to look at the bricks on the house so he could find a match. Joey did stop by and came the next day to start the excavation to pour footings for the columns. He also brought brick samples. They were a geat match to the bricks on the house which were 12 years old. Joey did a great job on all of the elements. He matched the style of the columns to the columns on the front porch and also matched the brickwork on the steps to the overall design of the existing brick work. It is hard to tell the work was not done at the same time the house was built. Joey was extremely professional and is a true perfectionist and artisan. We are extremely pleased with the final results and are already planning to have Joey do some additional work next summer.

We wholeheartedly recommend Joey's work! We purchased a house in Tampa that needed extensive work and, by the time we turned our attention to repairing the fireplace, we had a rich and varied experience dealing with contractors and subcontractors. Joey was one of the best contractors we worked with. His work product is impeccable, he worked quickly and efficiently, and he suck to the agreed timeline. He was tidy and respectful of our home and privacy which was very important to us. His office support headed by his wife Cathi, was just as impressive. We received great suggestions -- from links to web sites to in-person telephone conversations -- for different types of brick and fireplace doors. Joey and Cathi will be back in our area in a month or so, and we very much look forward to working with them again. This time, Joey will be doing stucco work on our house.

He did an excellent job. He did quality work, and gave a reasonable price. I would definitely use him again.
