Adelino Soares Construction & Masonry

Front steps, retaining walls, porch masonry, a patio built to fix a drainage problem — Adelino Soares works the outside of the house in Swansea, and customers tend to name him personally. In an April 2025 Google review, a homeowner called the work on their front steps precise and thorough and said he kept them in the loop. An April 2023 review tells a longer story: runoff from the driveway had turned the ground between the foundation and the deck stairs to mud, and after the call he was there the same day and quoted a price for a patio. Six Google ratings, all five stars. On its Better Business Bureau page, customers write about retaining-wall and porch masonry and describe him arriving when he said he would and cleaning up the site before leaving. The Bureau accredits the business and grades it A+. Its own site covers patios, walkways, driveways, retaining walls, porches, chimneys and masonry repair for homes and commercial properties, and says the company was established in 2010. How long the crew has been at it depends on where you look: the site claims over 30 years of industry experience, the Angi profile says 46 years, and a HomeAdvisor card says in business since 1978. That is worth asking about directly, along with the licence and insurance. For hardscape and structural masonry around a Swansea-area home — steps, a wall, a patio that has to solve a water problem — he is a sensible call, and his Angi listing notes free estimates and Spanish spoken.
