"Long Hill Masonry renovated our front and rear stoops, which after 65 years were slowly falling apart. My husband and I are Thrilled with how they turned out. Within 2 days of our call, Joe Tavella (Owner) came to our home to give us an estimate. We explained what our ideas were and Joe even added further suggestions to improving the design. Joe, through his expertise and knowledge was able to do what 3 other contractors told us they couldn't do. After knowing this and with a fair quote, we asked Joe when can he start the job. The job was then completed in a very timely manner (in 1 day). Joe and his team were neat reliable, efficient, meticulous and took real pride to producing top quality work. End result...Perfection at it's Best! Beautiful stoops to last a Lifetime! Without hesitation we look forward to having Long Hill Masonry do another project for us. Would highly recommend."

"Hands down the best service I received in a long time. Knowledgeable, Punctual and Reasonable are a few qualities that come to mind. Misael fixed my front steps and also refilled my existing pavers with the right sand that the prior contractor did not do. His attention to detail is on point. He did an excellent job of cleaning up after completing his work, which to me is the biggest selling point for myself. Would highly highly recommend him for your next job!"

"This was absolutely my best experience I have ever had with any company I have ever done business with. No need to look any further, this is definitely the company you will want to do your basement waterproofing . The work that is done and the professionalism of every member of this family run business will exceed your highest expectations. I am an avid researcher when it comes to finding the best company to do a job that I need done. I had an ongoing issue for years with water leaking into my basement. I had 6 top rated waterproofing companies(very well known on long island and beyond) come to my house and present me with why my basement was leaking and how the best way was to fix it. Each company had something different to say and all different ways to fix it. Then came the Napalitano Brothers(Sons James and Mike). These upstanding gentlemen separated themselves from all the other companies I had dealt with. They were polite, sincere, honest, genuine, well mannered, friendly, professional, knowledgeable, and patient. They presented themselves with pride in the work that they would be doing and ensured me that they would be able to provide me with a job that would satisfy me beyond measure. I cannot say enough about James and Mike( they both were hands on in doing the actual work for the entire job) they were true to their word and after meeting the patriarch of the family business, I can see why and where these young men get their loyal, honest and genuine qualities. If every business followed the business model and approach of how the Napalitano Brothers run a company, it would make it easy to pick a company to do a job. Good thing I am steadfast when it comes to doing research on a company and I take my time to choose what company I will let do a job I need done. I could not have made a better choice because there is no better choice out their when it comes to getting your basement waterproofed. Everyone says they are the best, but with the Napalitano Brothers you are actually getting the best. After you check out the other companies, let the Napalitano Brothers be the last one before you make your final decision and I will guarantee, you will do as I did and have them do the job. They will exceed your every expectation and put you at complete ease from start to finish, and even after with their follow up with you once the job is complete. Make the SMART choice which is the absolutely the BEST choice and have the Napalitano Brothers take care of your basement waterproofing. They will be my only choice and recommendation to anyone that I know that will need the services that they provide. Since the completion of the job, back in February 2017, we have had a good amount of rain with a few storms that brought tremendous rainfall and I can say with great happiness and satisfaction that my basement has not leaked even one drop. I am very grateful and thankful for meeting the entire family and workers and for having them do a"

Customers say: Terrific value

"Jack Brady and his amazing crew , are the most efficient, hardworking perfectionists that We have hired in 30 yrs! Amazing job, finished in one week on a 7400 square foot basement, consisting of multiple â add onâ foundations. We purchased this home with a dingy, unfinished basement, that was a mess. Under Jackâ s expertise, this crew went above and beyond, examining issues that were outside their projectâ for structure, safety and aesthetic issues. Perfectly neat and clean, â their work and the transformation that resulted, were simply unbelievable! Jack is a caring and concerned contractor, that made sure everything was beyond perfect, added extras and did a report of all items that needed looking into by other professionals, ie, boilers, water heater , oil and gas tanks, plumbing issues, even electric. He is knowledgeable in basically every area of construction and subcontractor issues. I cannot tell you how thrilled we are! ( He even found a fault in an original wall of an old foundation, and had it reinforced, grinders down and properly sealed.. at least 3 different coats of hydrolic cement and seals plus waterproof painting)! Absolutely amazing and a warm, concerned personality, a â helluva guyâ , as we have embraced Jack Brady as a friend. The price was beyond reasonable, and we are so thankful to have chosen â Basement Manâ . You want to chose him to do this type of projectâ I cannot imagine there is ANYONE better to do such amazing and particular work. If I could give 100 stars, I would! Best of the Bestest!"

"Eddie was great to work with! We had a limited time frame to adhere to town inspections and Eddie and his team knew exactly what we needed and quickly got the job done. The results were great and even the inspector acknowledged the impressive repair. They were able to put a knocked out garage wall back on the foundation and repair the interior dry wall. I would recommend this company for any professional contract work due to their reasonable price, ease to work with and quality of work."

"We are SO happy with Sal and his team. Sal’s price was very reasonable and he communicated with us from start to finish. His team was on time and stayed late each day until the project was completed. Either Sal, his son, or his wife was on site each day. After starting, we asked Sal if he could take down a tree for us and his guys did it right away, leaving no sign of the stump. They did an amazing clean-up when the project was completed - even hauling away clutter and mess that was there before they started! They also returned days after the project was completed to put down grass seed. We LOVE our new patio, walkways, and pool deck - the pavers look beautiful!! We’ve already asked Sal to come back and give us an estimate on masonry work in the front yard!"

"Excellent work, very fast and Tony was quick to respond to any questions I had. I had my old driveway removed and had them expand using asphalt, with a nice Belgian block border. They also removed an old walkway for me at no extra cost. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for masonry work."

"We hired Advanced to rip up our old driveway, and put in an expanded asphalt driveway. We also needed a new walkway as the old red bricks were uneven and posed a tripping hazard. James worked with me to ensure the shape of the expanded driveway was exactly what we wanted. The team worked very fast and James was on site throughout the project. Further working with us, they ensured the walkway end was flush with the driveway (avoiding another previous tripping hazard), and worked with me to lay pipe underneath the new walkway so I could extend our in-ground sprinklers and have the option to add electrical. The team put string through and planted flags in the ground marking the ends of the pipes. They even redid the pavers of our front stoop including cutting out and regrouting. Everything looked so great that we hired James 9 months later to come back and install two quarter-circle sitting walls at the ends of our driveway. They even relocated the plants for us. We're the new it house!"

FAQs for masonry work projects in Islip, NY

Masonry uses units like bricks, cement blocks, and stone with mortar between them. Mortar is generally made of sand and a type of cement. Examples of masonry include the brick or stone on a house, chimney, or freestanding wall. Concrete is a mixture of water, sand, stone aggregate, and other materials, and is poured into forms or moldings. Types of concrete applications include driveways, garage and basement floors, and poured concrete walls in basements and crawl spaces.

The cost of masonry work varies widely depending on the type of masonry along with common cost factors like size, complexity, location, and season. Most exterior masonry work done in freezing temperatures tends to cost more because of the preparation and protection involved to keep the masonry from freezing before the mortar cures properly. The average price ranges per project or square foot for different types of masonry include:

  • Brick wall (fence, garden wall, etc.): $10–$45 per square foot

  • Natural stone wall: $40–$110 per square foot

  • Manufactured stone veneer: $20–$40 per square foot

  • Brick home exterior: $10–$30 per square foot

  • Brick siding: $3–$10 per square foot

  • Stone siding: $35–$50 per square foot

  • Brick step replacement: $20–$30 per square foot

  • Brick wall repair: $20–$40 per square foot

  • Chimney repairs: $160–$750 per project

  • Tuckpointing: $5–$25 per square foot

A mason lays brick or stone together, sometimes with mortar in between the bricks and stones, and sometimes without mortar, also called a dry-stack or surface bonding. Examples of work masons do include:

  • Brick, stone, or cement block houses and buildings

  • Freestanding stone or brick walls

  • Chimneys with wood-burning fireplaces

  • Cement block basement or crawl space walls

Masonry work tends to be more expensive because the materials can be costly, such as natural stone and brick. Masonry is also very labor intensive, typically making up 50% or more of the final project cost. In addition, quality masonry work requires years of training and experience, as with any skilled trade.

Two types of masonry are veneer masonry and solid masonry. Veneer masonry is thin brick or stone material attached to the face of a building. With veneer masonry, the walls support the weight of the masonry products rather than the masonry being built on a concrete footing. Solid masonry is a wall or other brick or stone structure built on a concrete footing, and the masonry supports itself.
