Took a while to arrange a visit to explain what was needed, and to get a price. Initial visit was promising, as Mr. Diantonio was interested in what I wanted done, and offered many suggestions and alternatives. Had to call office back to remind that an estimate was promised. When received, the estimate was extremely descriptive of what was included, grades of materials, etc. Scheduling the work in mid-December was affected by the weather, but once the crew started, they worked continuously on the project, carrying to through to completion before Christmas holidays. Site was left neat, clean and safe. There was a promise of a return visit to cut control joints in the deck, after allowing full cure of concrete. That work still needs to be done. End product was exactly what I wanted, with a creative twist on the lightly brushed deck surface, rather than a smooth troweled surface. Provides improved safety and look great. UPDATE 5/6/13 The polish is off the apple, resulting in a downgrde to the ratings. They never returned to cut control joints, and as a result there are two cracks in the porch deck, and the limestone (sandstone?) stair treads are flaking. An e-mail making them aware of this problem was answered immediately, and a phone call made indicating someone would be over to look at the problem in a few days. So far two weeks and no one has shown up. UPDATE 6/8/13 Repeated my request for someone to look at the problems and propose a repair procedure. Now 6 weeks since first request, 2 weeks since most recent request. No one has responded other that phone calls telling me they are busy, but will take care of it. Sending a certified/return receipt letter requesting a visit and proposed repair procedure one week after receipt of letter, or the matter will be turned over to an attorney. Sad.
Description of Work: Full replacement of 40-ft long concrete front porch and two sets of crumbling concrete and brick stairs. New limestone stair treads and porch edging. Overhanging roof was fully supported, all above grade concrete in less than good condition was removed and replaced. Contract price included replacement of only a portion of the concrete deck, but after working on the porch, it was determined that the full deck need removal, new underlying DGA fill, and conrete replacement. The extra work was done at no extra cost.

Horrible, tony is a loose cannon. Concrete and sandstone cracked, sandstone was replaced and cracked again, driveway cracked as well, lists than 1year after the job was done. He is a butcher and not a craftsman. It is costing us 5200.00 to fix his butchery. He never was here while the job was being done except for his checks. You want a real mason look up JBP Construction in Milltown Nj. He fixes all DiAntonio' s Jobs
Description of Work: Complete front porch, brick and concrete, driveway and walkway
