The King's Masons

About us

Since 1980, The King’s Masons, Inc. has established it’s unique reputation specializing exclusively in hard-scape design and construction in the Virginia, Maryland, D.C. area. Most landscape design begins with the need for elements such as: patios, walks, driveways, porches, steps, walls, posts, columns, pools, fountains etc. Through many centuries of construction quality masonry materials have proved to be the most durable and aesthetically pleasing. Masonry construction can be an artistic investment in your home and environment! Our extensive knowledge of our core materials: Brick, Block, Stone and Concrete Pavers, allows us to give our customers superior service in recommending which ones to use on any given project, and how to use them to best effect and cost. For example: 1. Which will look best with your home’s architectural style? 2. How can we effectively match new materials to existing ones? 3. What are your options for materials, colors, patterns? 4. How does the choice of material or construction methodology affect cost? 5. How durable are the materials, and are there any maintenance issues? The majority of our clients are homeowners that have come to us through personal referrals. We have also worked on numerous commercial projects over the 30 years we have been in business; engaging directly with other landscape companies, engineers, landscape architects and designers, builders and H.O.A’s. Many of our valued staff have been with us for more than 15 years and we take pride in working together as a team. We believe we can proudly offer you unparalleled customer service and a great product, so that you can refer us to YOUR friends and contacts.

Terrible. They keep telling me they were going to change the dark travertine stone to light and never did. The pitch on our top patio was not done properly. Water sits.

The finished product looks great. Compliments received from others. Would have gotten 5 stars except for their not letting me know about delays until I asked them and they don't use bags or filters on their stone cutters. Large amount of dust everywhere with no advance warning. A lot of work for me to get it off everything. Doesn't come off easily. The people (workers and managers) were nice to interact with and do great work.

It was a pleasure working with The King's Masons from start to finish. From the design to the administration to the crew that did the work-very professional. I was particularly impressed that the owner (Richard Baker) was involved checking that the work met both the structural and aesthetic standards of The King's Masons work. It is hard to find true craftsmen these days but that is exactly what The King's Masons has. I not only would use them again but I would also recommend The King's Masons to my friends and family. We are very happy with the work!

A 6 week job turned into 3 months due to some weather and Kings Mason scheduling problems. After completion no follow up with us but the work has proven to be excellent. Mimi was a delight to work with at the office. Richard takes a lot of pride in his work and has excellent design skills.

Excellent for both projects- crew arrived on time, completed on time and completely cleaned the site. The patio extension immediately blended with the original work done last year, cannot even tell where the new work is, looks great.

Recognizing our urgent situation, King's Masons provided an estimate to repair the chimney and arrived days later to make the repairs. A scaffold was needed and they returned several days later. They worked with us on an economical and practical fix to the problem. Work was completed in time for our 4th of July BBQ celebration. King's Masons were terrific.

I selected TKM after seeing their work at a neighbor's property. My experience was excellent in every way: the process, people, price, and the results. The contracting and business processes are structured, documented and adhere to standard architectural and construction terms and methods. The folks in the office are nice, professional, and efficient. The crew included a mason (a real craftsman) and a helper; each was diligent and meticulous. The results look beautiful, and I'm confident will be long lasting.

We had heard and read good things about The King's Masons, so we contacted them a couple of days after meeting the owner, Richard, at the home show at the Dulles Expo. Initial communication was very show. We had to follow up a couple of times. It was about a week and a half before we were able to schedule a consultation with Richard. From that point on, it was smooth sailing. Richard was very knowledgeable and professional. The work quality was exceptional. They completed the work in 2 days. Their estimate was very reasonable when compared to other quotes that we received. We would highly recommend them. Just be a little patient if they don't get back to you right away. They are very busy and for a good reason - they are good at what they do and in demand :)

The estimate was provided in a timely manner. The repair date was given soon thereafter. Charlie, the foreman, and his equally hard-working helper showed up for work at the time and date indicated. By the way, Mimi Henry, their "Girl Friday" is very nice to work with, answers all questions promptly, and is quite dependable.

The only hold up was the weather. Rain can delay a project. That's no fault of the contractor. The completed the whole project in a day, came back and replaced a strip of sod, and it looked absolutely marvelous. Several neighbors asked who I hired. I gladly informed them. One said they were envious. I would hire them again in a heartbeat.

Instead of matching the existing mortar on the porch and the rest of the walkway which is a sand color, they used a bright white which was bad enough but they also smeared the mortar they did use onto the bricks.  When originally contracting the job my husband had specified that the mortar needed to match the existing mortar in color and that specification had been agreed to by
King's Masons.  The job turned out atrocious and unprofessional which we will have to have removed and redone properly. Of course we will have to pay twice for the same job. If they didn't want or could not do the job in professional manner they should not have accepted the job and then have the audacity to charge us for this mess.

The mason and the work he performed were wonderful.  He was very knowledgable and knew the exact type of stone it was on sight.  He confirmed that the stone itself was very good and sound, but that unfortunately some of them were not originally laid properly, which resulted in some of the stones shifting over time & contributed to the crumbling mortar.  He was able to remove the mortar from the stones, reshape some of them a bit to improve the fit, and relay them.  It looks better than new. The mason and his helper started at about 7am.  I believe the helper was there for an hour, and the mason was on site for 3.5 hours.  They cleaned up the job site (driveway) perfectly; you'd never know that part of the front of our home had just been essentially removed and reattached, it was pristine! Our mason gave us verbal tips on how to maintain the work, and we were sent a maintenance sheet along with the invoice electronically later the same day that the work was completed.  Working with Mimi (in the office) was a joy, she was prompt and clear in all her communications and answered all my questions along the way.  I'd definitely recommend The King's Masons for this type of work.

Richard came out right away and arrived on time. He had a lot of good ideas and was very creative. He was very honest with me about the cost of the work that needed to be done. They did the work when they said they would and finished in a timely manner. The house looks great and they did an excellent job.

The team  arrived on time with all the materials they needed and completed the work in less than a day.  They did all the work that was contracted for.  They cleaned up the area beautifully and their crew was skilled, diligent and polite.

The owner, Richard Baker, personally designed the update to my front entrance, driveway, walkways, and a pool retaining wall. He gave great ideas and advice. They scheduled the work promptly. The crew was extremely experienced, and they had impressive equipment and resources at their disposal. The foreman was professional and friendly. The results exceeded my expectations. They addressed any issues at the end of the project quickly and without any problems.
