It was a n excellent experience. They did everything that I asked for and more. His employees, Mark ,Troy, and Jeff were great guys. They explained things to me before they did them, I was asked over and over for my input on the size, shape, and texture of the steps and sidewalk. After they made the forms, I was consulted again to make sure I was going to be happy with the results .The results were excellent...My wife and I are so pleased.I would highly recommend Barone Masonry & Concrete for any of your concrete replacement or repair needs. It says "No Job Too Big or Too Small" right on Rick's card.......I give them 5 stars out of 5 for sure!  :0)

They were excellent in every way.  They were on time, did a good job, and got in and out quick.  They did a job that would have probably taken others a week or more and they finished in 3-4 days.

They started yesterday 8:00am. Mike the block layer was great. All the guys there were great. Finished today at about 2:30pm. Like I said .... Couldn't be happier

The contractor provided me with a few references and I was able to drive and look at a few examples of their work, including a 20+ft real railroad tie wall.  They also seemed like a good pick at first, because they took credit cards and I wasn't sure how long it would take to get a loan vs needing the wall done soon.  The work began around the end or March 2012 and wasn't completed until June 18th.  The initial work on the wall didn't take too long, but when it came to the porch column and finishing up filling gravel in the wall and spot pointing, it was difficult to get the contractor back out, due to them being busy, apparently.  The owner was responsive on texts/phone calls, but towards the end, the porch was held up with a temporary board a bit too long and I felt like I had to twist their arm to finish the spot pointing.  A few months after completion, everything seems to be structurally sound. It may not be the most ascetically pleasing wall; the way the blocks are cut, the, exposed edges look a little odd due to the locking/step back slots.  Behind the wall was sort of filled in with gravel, but not really landscaped.  I am not too concerned by this, as this was more of an emergency/low budget, structural repair on a home I recently purchased.  If I have the cash available, I may go with someone else next time, but for basic, emergency structural work, Rick's Masonry did the job.

I am handicapped and I needed new steps and a hand railing for safety purposes.  They jack-hammered out the old steps and left a terrible mess with the concrete. I was  unable to go out the front with nothing but clay and concrete where the old steps were.  The steps are different heights. The railing was pipe and  put in incorrectly.  I have nothing to hold onto at the last step.

Rick's Masonry & Concrete performed sloppy grouting work.  They left junk by my yard and never came back to get it after I called a couple of times.  The roter teller that was left in my yard was broken and a few other items were never retrieved.  He did some jobs for my neighbors and they are experiencing the same problems. They left junk in their yard too.  I was hoping my retaining wall stays up. he exceeded the height limit.  The wall is 4 feet tall and the block of wall I was told needs to be 2 feet tall.
