"The whole process went well from start to finish. Thiago of classical pavers was very professional from the start. Everything was timed just right and executed perfectly. We met at the start of the project and communicated either via text or email. Pavers were delivered on Friday and the job was completed in Saturday. I could not be happier."
"Great service, workmenship, pricing was great, help was respectful and did great work, and Joe was a pleasure to work with and a gentleman.. He kept his word and did everything he told me he would do. He came every day and got the jobs complete in time. I would highly recommend him for any kind of masonary, brick, stone or concrete work."
"It s easy to deal with Andy after a phone call we made an appointment and they arrived on Sunday morning and given me an estimate the next morning they completed the roofing work I m very happy with the result the work was done qualitatively they gave a warranty for materials and work good quality and responsibility"
"Profine Construction is terrific. Eric was extremely responsive and attentive from our original estimate through completion of our project. He provided alternatives to either repair or rebuild the brick steps in the front of our home, while offering advice but making clear that he would take care of us either way. We ended up rebuilding and the steps and railing seamlessly match our home, including a difficult to match brick and pattern. The job was done right and we would absolutely work with Profine again."
"Ryan, Matt, Dan, and team from United Paving & Masonry = awesome! Simply phenomenal work, Price, Communication, Speed, and Quality! They checked all the boxes. The removed and installed pavers for my walkway and patio and paved my driveway and lined it with Belgian block, Craftsmanship was impeccable. I have other contractors asking about the work and multiple complements from the neighbors I highly recommend United Paving and Masonry!"
"A-1 Loyalty Construction did a great job repairing my concrete door steps. Ceasar explained his process thoroughly, provided pictures of similar jobs, and delivered on his promise to make them look like new. He and his team were punctual, professional, and personable. To top it off, his price was very reasonable. I highly recommend A-1 Loyalty Construction to anyone in need of masonry work."
"I recently hired Black Rock Exteriors due to an emergency on the back side of my house (a tree fell of and damadged my siding). They finished the job the next day we agreed. In order to start as soon as possible they changed their schedule, because it was an emergency. Highly appreciate them, they did a great job. Hopefully not any emergency anymore😅 but I wouldnt hesitate to hire them again for any exterior project. You guys are the best!"
Keep children and pets off newly poured surfaces for at least 48 to 72 hours. High humidity during NJ summers slows the curing process, and full load-bearing strength takes up to 28 days. Inspect older outdoor patios after the winter for sharp edges caused by freeze-thaw heaving. If your masonry work involves older Matawan properties built before 1978, hire certified specialists to test for lead and asbestos hazards before starting.
Helpful?
After completing masonry work, wait through one full freeze-thaw season to assess the final cure quality. Schedule a follow-up inspection in late spring to check how the fresh materials handled the winter stress. Apply a post-project sealant to protect against salt air from Raritan Bay. Finally, assess the drainage around your foundation and confirm a local Matawan inspector completes a final sign-off for any permitted structural projects.
Helpful?
Look for flaking brick faces and concrete surfaces, which indicate severe freeze-thaw damage. Watch for recurring white salt deposits that signal unaddressed moisture issues from the nearby salt air. Crumbling mortar joints mean the previous contractor used the wrong mix for the NJ climate. Additionally, bowing retaining walls, stair-step foundation cracks, and new basement leaks in your Matawan home prove that the original structural and drainage repairs failed entirely.
Helpful?
Horizontal foundation cracks require immediate masonry work to fix structural soil pressure damage. However, stair-step cracks and basement leaks indicate the need for separate drainage or grading repairs before addressing the brickwork. If your chimney leaks, hire local professionals in NJ to inspect for deteriorated mortar versus damaged roof flashing. Check peeling exterior paint on your Matawan home for underlying moisture problems before committing to extensive masonry or painting repairs.
Helpful?
Properly executing masonry work directly reduces dampness and mold risks in your basement, especially near the Matawan Creek floodplain. Restoring deteriorated chimneys and exterior walls eliminates cold drafts and lowers heating costs during freezing winters. Additionally, building retaining walls manages heavy stormwater runoff in lower-lying NJ neighborhoods. These vital upgrades keep your indoor air clean, secure your foundation, and maximize the usability of your outdoor living spaces.
