We offer free estimates, veteran and senior citizen discounts and we are full licensed and insured. Quality, reliable workmanship at competitive prices are our top priority.

"Digiacomo construction was very professional in two jobs for us at our home. They demoed an old failing retaining wall and built a new wall to support a new garage. We also hired them to pour a new pad of concrete for the garage and a new pad for our back porch. They adjusted plans quickly and efficiently when an obstacle was encountered (our water line was where the original sonic tube would be) and the plan was updated to build around the line. I would generally not be able to be around to discuss plans so they would discuss work with my wife and we're always respectful to her when going over tasks and updates. We will hire them again in the future to complete work on our garden."

"Tom C. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Excellent Service from Evans Paving, LLC I couldn’t be more impressed with the outstanding work Evans Paving did on our challenging driveway. They professionally paved over 1,500 feet of driveway, including two large parking pads, pitched driveway for water runoff and completely transformed our property. Their team didn’t just pave — they went the extra mile by removing and cutting away invasive tree roots that had destroyed the old driveway. The attention to detail was clear from start to finish, and they sealed the entire project beautifully, leaving us with a clean, smooth driveway. Every step of the project was handled with professionalism, quality and attention to detail at a very reasonable price. If you’re looking for quality work, a reliable crew, and a reasonable price, Evans Paving is the team to call. We already recommended them to our family and friends."

FAQs for projects in Chester, PA

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.
