Baker Masonry Llc

Work done was excellent.
It took over a month to get the job done that took only 4 hrs on his part.

Peter followed up to a text I sent him asking him to contact me.
I sent him pictures of the work to be done.
He stopped by to review and sent me a quote (that was 30% less then others)
He called the week before to let me know that he was going to be able to perform the work
Called me the day before to confirm
Showed up and did the work withour me having to be there

Peter, the owner went to a company that had used bricks for sale, picked through a pile of used brick to come up with enough to do our project that would match the existing brick on the fireplace.
He then hand cut the bricks to 1/2and quot; thickness so they could be installed similar to tiles. He also had to make corner bricks.
He then installed the bricks and 20and quot; x 20and quot; slabs to finish the top of the hearth.
It took him about 6 hours to do everything and it looked great when he was done.

First, I should explain that our remodeling contractor initially gave us the name of a Mason to update the front of our older home with stone. After speaking with him over the phone, I decided to do research myself, and found Baker Masonry on Angie's List. Peter came to our home personally, and explained the masonry process as it related to our needs. He was soft-spoken, asked us detailed questions about our vision and immediately impressed us as someone who knows his craft. We hired Peter on the spot. Within less than 2 weeks, he and his hard working, professional crew were transforming the front of our home into a true work of art. Even our UPS driver is impressed! Peter shows up on time, has faultless work ethic, and cleans up any mess after the day's work. He even arranged the stone, mixer and all of his equipment in an orderly fashion on our driveway before he left for the day! I should also add that our initial choice of stone probably would not have looked this terrific, but during our consultation Peter offered suggestions that we opted to take, and we couldn't be happier. You cannot go wrong with Peter Baker of Baker Masonry. He is exactly what customers and homeowners want and need when it comes to professional, artfully done masonry projects. We would have Peter back in a heartbeat!

Peter bricked over a concrete retaining wall, concrete block steps, and installed stone caps. It looks terrific!! It turned out better than I could have hoped for. We plan on hiring Peter again in the future for additional brick work we’d like to have done.

They're absolutely topnotch. It couldn't got better. He was there everyday. He worked rain or shine. He did little things that made the overall installation worked twice or three times as much. He pointed out things that were wrong with the house that had nothing to do with his installation and so he helped us identify a different issue. Their price is right in a ballpark with everybody else.

Peter Baker was excellent and he did terrific work. It was very difficult to find someone that was going to be punctual and show up when they say they are going to and he was. He just got down to business and our neighbors that had the same type of columns, commented that they wished that they had used him because ours looked so much better. His price was very fair. I plan on using his services again.

After reading lots of positive comments on Anglie's List, contacted Peter to redo our interior fireplace. We're a good hour south of him and so to start we kept it to email and phone calls. Once we both figured out this would happen, he came down to take a good look and preposition some material, then started work.
The demolition part was messy and dusty, of course, but Peter took considerable pains to minimize the impact outside the work area.
He had a couple of good ideas on reconfiguration and ran those by us during the project. We liked them all and incorporated them.
After completion, he did a thorough cleanup.
We're doing flooring and a kitchen remodel, too. As soon as those are done and we have the money, we'd like to get Peter back for more work.
Most highly recommended!

Everything that others have written about Peter is true: he is professional, responsive, and a tireless worker. But in addition, he has an artist's vision of what would look best in a completed project. He takes into account the style/age of the home and landscaping. He helped expand our original idea into a look that we love; and so many neighbor's comments have been so positive, also. One of them stood admiring the work and said and quot;It ( the stonework) just looks like it's always belonged there....and quot; We are so grateful we found Peter.

Our experience with Peter was excellent. He was quick to respond to my request for an estimate, and we could tell that he knew what we were looking to accomplish. We have a modest home and just needed a small amount of stone work to update the facade. Once we decided to go with Baker Masonry, Peter promptly scheduled our job and finished it in a timely manner. He kept the work area tidy and cleaned up completely when done. His work looks professional and I would not hesitate to hire him again.

Turned out great. Quote was quick. Work was done fast.

Peter came out to install the facade on the front of the house. Mind that I had worked to the point of tears to put up 8-9 rocks over 12 or so hours (never, ever hire me as a mason). Peter and his colleague, in contrast, came out, got set up, installed about 60 sq feet of stone, mortared it and got cleaned up all in about three hours. It looks great.

He said he would be there at 8, and the doorbell rang the second that I watched my clock go from 7:59 to 8:00. He was able to come out a couple days (vs weeks) after my initial call, and was pleasant, honest and gracious the whole time. Never even made fun of me out loud, though I know full well that the work I had done myself really deserved it. :)

I will absolutely, without a doubt go back to him for any future stone work needs. We're already planning to have some stone put in the back yard, and I'm hoping to have Baker Masonry there!

They did a great job. Peter Baker is easy to work with and really does nice work. He did a good job of coordinating the job with the gate company (Cornerstone Fencing) so that the whole project could be completed in a reasonably period of time. I would hire Peter again in a heartbeat.

Very high quality work Overall. I'd recommend Peter. All 3 pillars were built square and level. They used concrete blocks -- put mud between and on top of them, placed all cultured stone on that layer of mud, then grouted. All grout matched my existing pillars and all stone matched my existing stone. Caps took a while...but that wasn't Peter's fault. Cap work was good. Peter even helped me attach some signage. Good guy that I wouldn't hesitate to use again

He is the best contractor I have ever had. He is here when he says he would be here and he does what he says he is going to do. His job site is clean and he is a great person. I would use him again. His price is very reasonable for masonry.

We were referred to Peter by the electrician that was working on our HUGE landscaping project. (see Moss Rock Landscaping). We were in the middle of the landscape project and we had always planned for a fireplace. Our landscaper had not built on before. We were talking with him about one of the "kit" fireplaces that you can add stone to, but these are much smaller and we always envisioned a "real" fireplace. Peter was able to get started with the concrete pad and footing within about a week because we needed to see where the fireplace would be to work the landscaping around it. He is very, very busy in the summer but he goes out of his way to accomodate the needs of his customers. Due to some delays on our part (driveway pouring, etc) He did not start for a few weeks. The fireplace and rock columns took about 3 weeks to build. Peter always let me know when he was going to come out or if he wasn't. It is a very messy process with lots of rock dust from cutting rocks. We could not be happier with the finished product. We LOVE the fireplace and have already enjoyed many evenings sitting outside. The fireplace does not draft well unless there is a blazing fire, but it is outside and there is always a breeze pulling the smoke out. It does not bother us since the smell of a fire makes you feel like you are camping. It puts out a lot of heat when there is a good fire.

Great! Peter and his crew showed up on time and went right to work. It turned out beautifully. They cleaned up after themselves and left nothing but an amazing result!

Their price was right in line with other quotes that I received.

I had the mailbox, so he didn't have to go get it. He had to cut a hole out because the mailbox was too wide. He essentially did maintenance on the entire structure, and then cleaned it afterward, making the whole structure look nice. He did a good job for a good price, showed up when he said he would be there. Nice guy, really liked him. There are very few people that specialize in masonry mailboxes.

SUPER! SUPER! SUPER! I have never believed that I could ever use these words rating a contractor. Having a couple of different contractors for different parts of our remodeling project, we were frustrated with their general unprofessional behaviour. From the moment Peter showed up to give us an estimate and to the very last touches, he proved that it can be different. He did an amazing job (although it was not cheap), and after the first day we realized that we did not need to come home to check the progress or the quality of his work (as we had to do it with the others). Professional, honest, very reliable, Peter and his partner did a high-end stonework on our house. When they finished the job, they cleaned everything, including our car that was covered in dust during the work. It was worth to spend that extra money for such an exceptional work.

Peter is a super guy to work with. He is very polite and respectful. The work took about a day and a half. He had a helper, also very polite, and they cleaned up after themselves very thoroughly both days they were here. Peter did a great job on the fireplace. It looks fantastic. We couldn't be happier with it and we're glad that we hired Peter to do the job. The price was more than reasonable considering all the work he did. We would recommend him, in fact we have already recommended him to two other people who are going to be wanting some masonry work done.
