"Great job. Guys were professional and friendly. I was lucky enough to get same day service. They explained all that was done and why. Clean up, best they could when working with concrete. I would hire this company again without hesitation."
"Lucas was outstanding - quoting, price, service, quality work, etc. The entire experience was tremendous. Truly cannot recommend this person enough! You will not regret it."
"They showed up on Thursday pm, and they had the old chimney down and started to rebuild the new one. They worked til dark and was back the next am to finish. Great job and cleaned up everything. I would recommend them."
"Romeo just poured a concrete driveway replacing a beat up asphalt mess. He was meticulous and patient. Friendly and professional. The new driveway is great and we look forward to years of use. We are not concrete experts and he took good care of us, he cares about his work. I would recommend Romeo to anyone needing home improvements"
"I wanted a raised garden that wrapped the front of my house but didnt have the 10-12 grand to pay to have it all done. They were flexible with me and I took on the task of building the wall myself. They dug out the original mess of garden there before, set a strong base for my wall, and delt with the drainage that would later be directed through my wall. I built the wall and they came back and filled it in for me to finish it up. The flexibility and communication back and forth was phenomenal and just talking back and forth and learning new things was awesome. Finaly product came out great!!! (Unfortunately Won't let me upload photos)"
"I never had to deal with the unpleasant experience of having mold in my house until recently. We decided to have CMM over for an estimate and met directly with the owner, Ken. He climbed up into our attic spaces and told us exactly what we needed to do fix our problems. He was very knowledgeable and presented a plan that would eliminate and prevent a reoccurrence of the issue. We hired them. When it was time to do the work, he sent a crew of 2 gentleman (Nick and AJ). These guys were fantastic. They were polite, punctual and went right to work on solving the problems. My daughter used them for the exact same reason and she was very happy with them as well. If you have the misfortune of having a mold issue, I would recommend these guys for sure!"
"It was fantastic. This crew work so hard all day long. Each crew member knew his job and they seemed like a finely tuned military unit. The work was completed in one day and the property looked as though they weren't even there. It has been two and a half years since this work was done and there hasn't been so much as a drop of water in our basement. Could not be happoer with the work. "
"Workers showed up on time. Big job installing tiles to waterproof our 110 year old house. We are very happy with the results. It was an expensive project but well worth the money"
For many Buffalo homes, especially those in historic districts, masonry repair is often more practical than full replacement. Repair is ideal when damage is limited and the original structure remains solid, preserving the character and value of older Buffalo properties. Replacement is usually necessary only for severe structural issues or widespread water damage, but restoration often maintains the home’s unique architectural appeal.

In Buffalo, small masonry repairs typically require one to three days, but the entire process—including preparation and material sourcing—can extend to one or two weeks. Medium projects like chimney or foundation repairs may take up to six weeks. Large restorations can last several months, especially if weather or permit delays occur. The best time for outdoor masonry work in Buffalo is from May through October.
Helpful?
In Buffalo, homeowners may encounter hidden costs such as permit fees, historic district approvals, or weather-related delays. Additional expenses can include foundation repairs due to clay soil, lead paint remediation in older homes, and specialized waterproofing. Matching historic bricks or stones, limited access on tight city lots, and extra cleanup or disposal fees can also increase the overall cost of Buffalo masonry projects.
Helpful?
When evaluating Buffalo masonry contractors, be wary if they lack local references, seem unfamiliar with Buffalo’s building codes, or offer to work outdoors during harsh winter months. Watch for unusually low bids, demands for full payment upfront, no written contract, reluctance to show insurance, high-pressure sales tactics, or poor communication. Choose contractors with proven experience in Buffalo home restoration.
Helpful?
In Buffalo, homes with original brick, stone, or block foundations—especially those built before the 1950s—often need masonry work due to the region’s freeze-thaw cycles and clay-heavy soil. Signs your Buffalo home may need attention include crumbling mortar, white efflorescence, loose or shifting bricks, water seepage, or bulging walls. These issues are common in historic neighborhoods and near the waterfront.
