"It went very well from start to finish. Jose Medina phoned us shortly after we submitted a request for services on Angi. We set up an appointment for an estimate, he came when he said he was going to, his estimate was reasonable, and we hired him to do the work. Just one week later he returned to do the repairs. He arrived when he said he would come. He had all the needed supplies; he took out the broken capstones and mortared in new ones. He cleaned up after himself and took away all the broken stones and job debris. He was courteous and respectful. I would hire him again in a heartbeat if I needed his services."
"Very professional, done a top notch job insulating my attic. Pricing was very reasonable and scheduling was punctual. Communicated through the job and finished up very quickly. Highly recommended"

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.

Solid masonry is a wall or other brick or stone structure built on a concrete footing, and the masonry supports itself.
