Job was not completed. Two stress cuts were to be made to prevent cracking. Slab cracked shortly after installation because only one cut was made. All attempts to have the problem addressed have resulted in missed appointments without the courtesy of a call to say they were not coming.

I originally gave a good review to this company, but I should have waited to see how the product held up before doing so.  The concrete pad we had installed by them is HORRIBLE.  It cracked a short period of time after being installed, in addition to small chucks of concrete breaking off.  There are cracks and holes all over it.  Ric came back once "to repair it" after months and months of contact.  It is worse then ever, now we not only have the cracks, but the patches that are cracked.  My concrete pad that was installed by another company 15 years ago, is in dramatically better shape then my new pad that Ric did. 
I highly recommend you avoid this company.  He was nice to deal with until the problem arose, and then it was one excuse after another.  It was too hot was one; well if you know its too hot why did you do it.  You got the senior discount was another comment he made to me.  I got the Angie's discount; does that mean I don't deserve quality.  He even had the nerve to tell me I have a hot tub on it and they are heavy.  He knew exactly what I was putting on the pad and I even gave him the specs before he installed our concrete. 
I like to support local businesses, but I can't stand to be taken advantage of.  Buyer beware!

Terrible. This is a follow up to a rating that was provided following completion of the work last year. Simply, a year later from when the work was done I had to have my concrete steps completely redone. The new concrete did not adhere to the concrete substrate and fell off. My money would have better spent if I drove down the street and threw it out the window and saw what happened. I don't know how their stone work is, but their concrete work is terrible. I should have known better when I was provided a unsigned work proposal. The only thing positive about his company is the workers that assist the owner. He needs to spend less time on his cell phone and more time on his work. Buyer beware........

It went very well.  He and his crew came at the appointed time and completed the entire job before the day was done.
Clean-up was professional. Would hire this company again in an instant

Rik showed up exactly as agreed and I liked him immediately.  He was professional and looked like an honest person with which to do business.  We discussed the work I wanted done and he provided a quote and proposal of work within a 24 hour time period.

On the day the job was to be started, Rik arrived with his 3 man crew to begin the work.  They were well prepared and ready to do the agreed upon work.  The job took a little longer than we thought to be completed, but this was due to weather and to the fact that Rik fell ill and required hospitalization for a medical emergency. 

The final result of the workmanship and skills demonstrated by CREATIVE STONE WORK BY STONE WALL MASONRY INC was a beautifully restored and protected (sealed) by application of the Surface Master product that Rik and I discussed on that first day. 

My only regret is not knowing Rik 's condition or if was able to recover from his medical emergency.  We hope he is well again and back to work, because his professionalism and masonry skills are second to none!

He didn't give me a quote. I had no idea what his cost would be. He didn't say much. I don't think he was interested in the job.

The job was done quickly and efficiently.  Rik came with a team and did a great job.  The only issue I had was that they took the old cement pieces from my chimney and just threw them into the woods in my backyard.  Not cool.

Contacted creative stone work a week ago. I needed a brick wall cleaned quickly. Rick responded very fast. Came to look at the project the next day. Was fast with a quote. I indicated that the job needed to be done as fast as possible. He was able to put me on his busy schedule. He and his crew came today. They were fast, clean , punctual and delivered excellent work. I would highly recommend and will use them in the future.

Pretty darn good.  Without drawings, there are always some variances from what's in mind; but the mechanics of the installation are superb - VERY well done.  What impressed me most was the puntuality  of the crew (rarely a strong point with contractors).  They appeared each morning at 7 on the dot and got right to work.  Also, each man took time to greet us individually.  Their banter and camaraderie were a refreshing change from the usual curse and spit style, too.
I would recommend these guys to friends and this List.  I would suggest that they would do even better if given real drawings and elevations to work from.

GREAT.  I called on Monday; Rik returned my call at 8:30 a.m. Tuesday; they had a break and could finish the work by 12:30. Rik and his assistant were not only knowledgeable, but pleasant.  Guess that comes from working together for over 30 years. Rik does the finishing (pointing) with an artist's touch, light but firm.  I'd hire them to do another job in a minute.

He responded quickly to my call and scheduled a time to visit the property within a few days.  He showed up at the appointed time.  We discussed the wall and he took some measurements and discussed wall materials.  He called back within a couple of days and gave me an estimate that was in the ball park with another estimate I received.  Unfortunately we were not able to pursue the project due to unforeseen circumstances on our part.  We will contact him again when we are in a position to begin the project.
