We were (and still are) very pleased with the job they performed. Ted had me visit an ongoing job to make sure of the type of stamped concrete we were interested in which was very helpful. The job took approximately five weeks from absolute beginning to end of project, took a little longer due to concrete availability limitations, but Ted communicated and things were done well.

Work was done in 2 days (large fence). Carpentry is excellent. Byron, the owner, is very personable and professional. He returned my call the first day I called. Byron has five crews working all the time, so they can get the job done fairly quickly. His company had also built fences throughout our neighborhood. I checked with two neighbors and they both had great things to say. I had also called two other companies, one never returned my call, and the other told me that they didn't travel to the suburb where we live. They then recommended another contractor who had terrible Angie's reviews. (Thank you Angie's)

They were outstanding from beginning to end. He was there on time to do the bid. He was there to follow up on the work. Everything was done timely. Invoice was sent right away. The crew was 100% professional. I could not have selected a better contractor.

They did very good work. Two to three people were here and it took a couple weeks to complete everything. Everything went according to plan and I was very satisfied with the results.

We contacted contractor and he came over to estimate the job. He then suggested we go to material providers store to pick out stone facade that we wanted. He suggested two different manufactures and their locations. We went to manufacturer picked out style of facade. We notified the contractor, who then scheduled the installation. Contractor send us a detailed contract for signature. it was exactly as expected He came and installed as scheduled and did an excellent job! We couldn't be happier with the results!

This is the second time we have had Ted and his crew do work for us. The installation was done beautifully again. We even modified the work statement after the project was started and Ted gladly accommodated our request. Ted listens extremely well and responds quickly to questions. This is a top-notch company.

From the initial estimate where Ted was able to clearly diagnose the problem and offer a range of solutions through the close of the project Ted and Custom Fence and Masonry performed at the highest level.
Ted did an excellent job of setting expectations and communicating status and schedule throughout the project.
The work they did was of the highest quality. They were neat and extremely responsive.
They even went as far as to help me diagnose and repair a minor but unrelated problem with our downspout.
We can't recommend CUSTOM FENCE and MASONRY INC highly enough.

Ted's design was very good and served well for the footings and Stone wall layout. I did have to watch excavation and rebar and form layout before pouring to catch one footing out of line and rebar in the location of one bracket to be drilled in later. These were both corrected without hassle. Some contractors give arguments back, but this crew corrects the work and continues on. The fence and brackets worked well. Without significant impact to the look of a classical cedar fence, this fence has the capabilities desired. They cleaned up the place after their work and at my request left me some cedar scraps.

We don't think any company would have done a better job and everything went smoothly, the work was completed as promised and we got more than we could have hoped for. Thank you, Ted Flateau, Custom Fence and Masonry!

Ted responded to my request for an estimate on the job the same day that I called. The work was scheduled and completed within two weeks of my initial call. The old bricks were removed and replaced in a single day, and the new work looks excellent. They were able to level the bricks with the concrete walkway, which had become uneven over time (due to heaving by the roots of nearby trees), and seal everything up with mortar. Very happy with the results.

It went well. They even made a special trip to my house in the south end to remove some equipment early, as I was getting ready to show my house to a potential buyer.

Everything went extremely well. It was raining off and on so after rebuilding the structure with existing bricks as we had discussed, he 'tented' the structure with plastic sheeting and came back the next day after the mortar presumably set or dried to remove it. All employees were very professional.

Mine was a pretty simple job. I had tried a year ago to DIY but the brick did not stay despite cement. I don't know what I did wrong. Anyway, given this I decided to have someone else do the work although it was pretty minor. They charged me their minimum charge to come out. I would have liked to do this more cheaply but I was willing to pay the fee to have someone do it more professionally. The cost was fair given that they had to roll a truck to my home, overhead, labor, etc. The work looked good. Only complaint was that they were supposed to call on their way so I could meet them and they did not. This was not a huge deal as it was a simple job and the main purpose of me meeting them was to settle up. So, they just sent me a bill in the mail. I obviously can't attest to a bigger job. But, for my little job, they were easy to deal with, did what they said and the work looked good. UPDATE: Well, it's four months later and the repair fell off. Calling the company and giving them a chance to rectify.
Response from CUSTOM FENCE & MASONRY INC
"I contacted Mr. Brown to refresh my memory about his job. I went by the job site and found out that we had never worked on the site. I informed him of this and asked that he check his records for the correct contractor. To this date I have had no response from him."

Fabulously. The work area was kept neat, work was top notch, high quality and utilized stone that we had available. The finished project looked was beautiful and looks as if it was the original work done when the house was built.
