Bob communicates very well, calling to let you know of delays, work. He matches old mortar very well. Bob inspects every job for quality, and they work to make you happy. I will use them again when I encounter my next project. I give Bob and his company an A+.

Javier (I believe that was his name), came to do the repair. Bob was there also, gave him instructions and left. The work was done efficiently and very effectively. He even did a smaller crack that we had not found on the original inspection. It was all done within one day. Bob returned, inspected the job and was paid.

I highly recommend Bob Able of Masonry Arts as I have used his company yearly for several years. Bob always returns my calls promptly even though he is very busy. Javier repaired mortar cracks in the rock wall in my front yard. He also repaired cracks in my sidewalk and on the chimney. Bob and Javier are professional and courteous. I will continue to use Masonry Arts as needed in the future.

Fantastic!! I could not have asked for better work or professionalism. Bob fit me into his schedule and gave me a great price. They worked on my project from day started until they were done and it looked beautiful. I could not be happier with their work and service.

Bob (the owner) is as nice a guy as you'll meet. He went over the whole house and got his tech out there in a jif. I recommend this vendor. Great work at a fair price.

Called Bob and set up an appointment . Would keep me updated when he could not make it . He came on the day of the appointment and was awesome . Gave practical solutions and reviewed the property and gave the best quote for what could be done. Called me back with a time when he could perform the job but I got stuck in something else . Am waiting to free up a little bit so that I can get the work done by him. Highly recommend him!

We had to get repairs done to the flashing around our chimney and in the process discovered that the chimney needed some masonry repair. I checked Angie's List for a recommendation and was so thankful to find this company. Not every masonry company does small jobs and I was worried that I would have a hard time finding anyone - and our roof repair could not proceed without it. Bob Abel came and gave me an estimate and then he followed up with our roofing repair company to coordinate schedules. His crew did an excellent job and we will have them back to do some other masonry touch ups on the exterior of our home too. His quote was very reasonable! Highly recommend this awesome company!

Excellent job. Have worked directly with Bob and Javier. We have been repeat customers for several smaller jobs over the last year. Very professional and quick to respond (reliable). Bob makes sure that quality of jobs meet your expectations. Reasonable prices.

Never took off. Felt he was trying to force what he wanted instead of understanding what I wanted. Then for a 10 by 10 area he wanted to charge me $6,000. I offered to get all the material and he just do labor. He would not let me. Other bids have come in $3,000 -$4,000. I feel this is not a trusty company so I did not hire this crew. He also says he does concrete; when I asked for this service he said he did not do it. It is false advertisement. I also had to serial call to get any type of service.
Response from Masonry Arts

"What? I cannot believe this incorrect, twisted and malicious review & especially un-deserved! I am so thankful that I didn't get this job. First, I wasted 3 - 4 hours of my precious time to TRY help this member when getting back from working out of town for many days and busy trying to get caught up. Member had told me up front that they had thrown 2 other previous contractors off the job(during work) before calling me. This alarmed me. Then, after providing several options available for this area, the member wanted the most expensive/delicate cut stone, etc. to cover about 130 sq. ft., (not 10' x 10') and with labor, & mortar for a stone retaining wall, with cut stone caps(none of which were mentioned above!). This member worried me all along, then, said husband also would be picky & won't like any design that is not square or rectangle. Professionalism "F" ? and punctuality "F"? I was there when I said I would be even though busier than ever. Says not trust(worth)y? Wow. Well, see my other hundreds of reviews & large commercial/gov't. references with never a issue & they would not agree with this members' harsh comments at all. Truth is they said that they could not hire us because finally told me their budget was $4,000 max. & didn't want "normal" flagstone even though I got it to meet that budget INCLUDING that retaining wall WITH cut stone caps...they wanted the expensive cut & large polished grey Lueders rectangle slabs, of which, you must budget many extra slabs for breakage & chips, & blemishes (which I could see coming on this job for sure). This isn't my first rodeo dealing with this stone. I don't like it when customers say they'll get the materials as I have been burned too many times in the past when materials are never ready when we need it, or right type, not enough, returning items, etc. I even tried to further help for FREE with nothing to gain, & suggested they then call a stamped & stained concrete company & they could have lines cut in it or stamped to look like stone slabs, which should fit their budget = & as I had said to this member, I do offer concrete - but regular plain concrete only & would not look good there for look that they want! Such an un-true, overly-bitter/hateful review with F's (not even D's?, LOL) - for taking up my time to try to help & for not even getting a job, nor would I have made much on it. Now, I had to waste even more time on my Sat. night responding to nonsense after working all day in the heat then seeing this. Thanks."

Bob is very friendly and easy to work with. Came out assessed the damage and gave us an estimate which turned out to be much more reasonable than we feared! He then worked with our schedule,did the job when we were ready!

Masonry Art has taken service to a new "art" form.  It is rare to find, in today's times but, Bob went above and beyond when someone need help in a hurry.  He came within hours to check it out. Very thoroughly.  Back the next day and his step-son did the job in three hours. Superb workmanship.  And, a very nice person.

Bob Abel was very friendly and empathetic about my situation. His price was the same as other quotes, but it was his kindness that got him the job. He was able to send someone out to do the repair very quickly and they did a great job. The brick the found was very similar to the existing brick, so the repair is hardly noticeable. The two men that came to do the repair were also very friendly (Luis and one other). They worked quickly and cleaned up before they left.

I highly recommend Masonry Arts for any of your masonry needs. The owner Bob Abel, was punctual to our initial meeting, very informative and friendly. I was given a proposal within 24 hours. He is very professional, was always available if I had any questions or concerns. If I had a concern, it was addressed immediately. Our project took a few weeks because of the size of the property and Bob came by or was in contact daily with me. He is honest, reliable and if I need any further work I would hire him again. He went above and beyond what we expected. We are very pleased with the work performed.
