Jim Linskey visited beforehand and assessed the situation,made recommendations and gave us a detailed quote. The work was performed over a four day period. Jim and his crew were true professionals and excellent masons. Jim monitored the progress and made additional recommendations. The work was performed efficiently with appropriate cleanup and respect for our property inside and out. The result was beautiful and has enhanced our property immensely. We are very satisfied and would highly recommend American Made Masonry.
Description of Work: American Made Masonry performed several projects: (1j Interior foundation: Scrape down all accessible foundation walls to solid material, Patch where needed, Apply polymer modified cement based sealer; (2) Driveway steps: Remove rail and set aside, Rebuild steps with existing stone, Lay bluestone treads; (3) Front walkway: Take up and dispose of brick and bluestone, Lay all new bluestone walkway, Re-lay cobblestone border; (4) Stone walls: Patch repoint where needed, Re-lay bluestone and brick between back wall and driveway. Needles-to-say, this was a complicated project, our house is almost 100 years old with lots of stone walls around the driveway and elsewhere.

It was a pleasure engaging with Jim Linskey, who after looking at our existing underground drainage, provided a straightforward proposal, responded to questions, and coordinated the project. His team diligently worked to complete the project in a timely manner. I would absolutely reach out to Jim and American Made Masonry for any future work and highly recommend him to others.

Jim from American Made Masonry did some repointing masonry work on the front of my brick house, in July of 2016. I put up a 2 star review back then, but just noticed it's been taken down (obviously to keep their reviews high). I have an older brick house and the concrete mortar mix the AmericanMadeMasonry used to fix up the area was MUCH lighter than the original. After talking to some other masonries, I was told they could have easily mix the concrete mortar to match it closer to the original color. Jim seemed to pass this off and said "it would take some time for the mortar to get weathered and blend with the existing mortar on the house." It's been 5 years and I've seen no changes at all. Every time I come home, it's the first thing I see and it's quite annoying.

My front stairs were a crumbling mess. A not so amazing job done previously by a not so talented contractor. Jim was easy to work with from proposal to final sign off. I am a no nonsense kind of person and my expectations are that a provider will deliver what they say they will. Jim and his team did that and more. The end result was better than I expected. If you want quality work, at a more than fair price with A+ customer service then then American Made is definitely who you want to hire.

It went great! We were going to add to our patio with brick pavers, but working with American Made Masonry, they helped us select stone pavers that were terrific. The crew was very professional and meticulous. It turned out better than we hoped. Additionally, American Made Masonry replaced our front door stairs with granite and brick almost ten years ago, and this job still looks great. You can see pictures of this on their website

Excellent. Team was functional, communicative, and courteous. With young children in the house throughout, they did their best to minimize the dust/noise associated with what is inherently a dirty, noisy job. We expect to use them again for some exterior repointing work when the weather is better.

Jim and his crew did a great job. We had our >100 year old foundation repointed. Everything was on time. The actual price was within 300 dollars of the estimated price and very competitive. I was impressed by how clean the operation was. The American Made Masonry Crew left our basement cleaner than it was when they started. I would highly recommend!

Jim was great! Extremely responsive and always answered our emails the same day. All the rain in the spring kind of set them back but Jim made time to get it done before our son’s bday party. Took two days and they were done. We are very happy with the work and would recommend.

Great. Very professional. I've used A.M.M. for 4 times now over the past 10 yrs. They always deliver what they promise. They are easy to work with. Amenable to owners suggestions, and do quality work. Past projects held up well. They are not the cheapest but you get what you pay for.

I reported this problem a while ago. Brick steps and partial flagstone walkway were replaced. A year later the mortar between the flagstones began to disintegrate. A couple of years later the mortar between the bricks did as well. He says he advised me not to use rock salt – he did not. Even so, a minimal amount should not cause complete disintegration as the rest of the walkway that he did not work on was fine. Also no rock salt was applied to the brick on the side. It all now looks like sand. I say again, if you want you work to last more than a few years find someone else.

The work went reasonably well. The workers were unable to drill as far down as they intended, due to a rock ledge under the house, and had to cut off the barrel of the new pump to make it even with the floor. I have no idea if this is common practice or just a convenience to the company. I have not heard the new pump come on yet so cannot say if it works. Cleanup was good. The crew was very friendly and polite and were the only company that bothered to respond at all. Given how hard it seems to be to find responsive contractors, I was grateful. One note--as they were leaving, the owner commented that the water on the floor in my basement was probably due to leaking windows, not a bad sump pump. Not really the right thing to say after you've charged $1700 to replace the pump.

Jim Linskey was very prompt and clear whenever I called or emailed him. His price was very reasonable so we decided to go with his company. He was flexible with timing and worked with us to schedule. The whole job was finished in less than 2 weeks. The workers were prompt, very friendly and polite. We were generally happy with the work; the basement is not a finished basement, just a functional one. Mortar work was pretty good. We had to ask them to clean up some areas that had excess cement dust or spills (on driveway, blobs on cellar floor) and we also pointed out a few spots that had been missed. All of this was quickly addressed and Jim checked in to make sure we were happy and satisfied. I really appreciated the overall professionalism and respectful way this company dealt with us. I would recommend them to others.
Description of Work: I had my entire fieldstone & brick foundation repointed inside the basement. My house is well over 100 years old and the basement was wet & mouldy, the floor was cracked and the mortar was falling out like sand from between the stones and bricks. There were also some structural cracks due to very heavy street construction just outside my house. Additionally I decided to have (3) brick support columns replaced with cement filled steel columns and also had a sunken area of the floor adjusted to help with any water that might come in. Completed basement seems to be staying much dryer so far.

Jim and his crew were courteous and I never felt I was interrupting when checking in.

On two separate occasions, Jim and American Made Masonry built a stone fireplace and hearth, and later a patio for our backyard. He and his team produce great results, they use high quality components and the latest techniques to ensure their work not only looks great but will last. I highly recommend them for all of your masonry related projects.

My fireplace had developed a leak after I converted my heating system from oil to gas (oil furnace was vented to fireplace, and after conversion the smoke was escaping through the old ductwork). I contacted Jim and after a few emails and a little bit of trouble scheduling (this was in early/mid March, which I'm sure is their busy season) we scheduled a time for him to come out and give an estimate (which seemed to be a very fair price). Initially he thought he would need to cut a hole in the wall to fix the leak, but as they started the work they found they could brick/mortar up the side of the fireplace from behind the wall (in the furnace room where the ductwork was removed). This was extremely helpful as it prevented us having to patch/paint the drywall as we would have had to do if the hole in the wall needed to be cut. Work looks great, and functions perfectly. Price appears to be fair/in line with other services, and Jim was easy to work with and showed up when he said he would. Great experience overall, and would highly recommend!

Great work, Jim promptly came out, gave us a quote for the work, he is clearly the best at repairing the brick stairs with limestone, granite and iron rails, so we scheduled it. His crew was on time, did a great job repairing the cracks, replacing missing bricks, resetting steps that were loose. The job was completed with no disruption to us by his professional crew, and looks great!
