Three for three with Rich and crew. The wall came out perfectly straight and I need to comment on the cleanup again - never knew they were there, besides our repaired wall.

We had Rich back given his great pointing work. He showed up with the same 2 workers as last year and the patio came out perfect. The curved wall looks great as well. All pavers are even and we use it all of time. Rich and team finished a day ahead of schedule and the cleanup impressed my wife, which is hard to do.

Rich came out to give an estimate and showed up 2 weeks later to start the project as scheduled. It was completed on time and the quality was great. He had 2 workers with him and everything went smooth. No more leaks and wall looks like new. Would hire again based on service, promptness and cleanup.

Richie and his team (Elmer, Rudy) are true tradesmen who know their craft. I first contacted Richie about 12months ago, as I recently purchased a single family home. Typical 1900 house, with character but ultimately a fixer-upper. I started numerous projects on the house and when we demo the basement, we found a host of things that needed really needed a mason expertize. When I first started reaching out for good people in the North Shore area. Richie was very responsive to my initial voicemail and email. He came to meet with me several times, as we scoped out the potential project, appropriate budgets and even when I re-defined what I wanted several times. On top of that I then I put things on hold for a year, due to timings. Despite this almost a year later, Richie was still willing to honor the same proposal. From the get-go Richie and his team turned up, when they said they would, cleaned up every day and kept me informed on each piece of the project. Just prior to finishing the project and at the end. Richie was super keen to check was I happy and pressing on me was their anything outstanding. That shows confidence in his work and ability to meet the clients needs. I have a tremendous respect for his operation and skillset and almost hope to work with him again, as he was so easy, but professional to work with, Happily recommend LaPorte Masonry to anyone, anytime!

I first met Rich and his crew a couple years ago when they repaired my chimney and stopped rain water from entering my unit. I recently hired him again to correct the issues with the front steps and two large pillars on my building. He had to demolish and replace the pillars, waterproof and paint the steps. Rich finished the full project on time and most importantly on budget. His team arrived every day on time and ready to work. They did an amazing job on the project and everyone in the building is beyond happy with the work. I have recommended Rich in the past and will 100% continue to recommend and use LaPorte Masonry.

Aside from uncooperative weather, Richie and his crew were amazing and our stairs look spectacular! We got many bids and his came in toward the high end but I believe he was well worth it.
