At Alvarez Masonry, Landscaping and Construction, a recent customer had a full front entrance and steps renovation done with at least 3 workers on site, and the job site was cleaned up at the end of every day.

Pedro and his crew did a great job on my stone retaining wall, I would commend them.
I recently completed a full front entrance/steps renovation with Alvarez Masonry, and I highly recommend Pedro and his crew. My original front entrance had smaller stairs, multiple landing levels and inset planters that made the space feel closed off and dated. I came to Pedro with my own design ideas, and he was incredibly helpful in bringing that vision to life. Before hiring Alvarez Masonry, I contacted about 6 masonry companies for quotes. Only 4 responded, and Pedro immediately stood out. His pricing was fair and reasonable, but what really set him apart was his responsiveness, professionalism, friendliness and experience. Throughout the project, Pedro and his crew were exceptional. He consistently had at least 3 workers on site, and they were always professional, respectful and hardworking. At the end of every day, they thoroughly cleaned up the job site, which I really appreciated. What impressed me most was Pedro’s level of involvement. He personally stopped by daily to check on progress and make sure I was happy with how everything was looking. If I wanted something changed or had a question, he was always patient, receptive and solution-oriented. Even after most of the work was completed, a small section had to wait for delayed materials, and I appreciated that Pedro returned promptly within a few days to finish the job. The craftsmanship is beautiful, and the entire process was smoother than I expected for a major masonry project. If you’re looking for a mason who is skilled, communicative, professional, reasonably priced and genuinely cares about the quality of the finished product, I would absolutely recommend Pedro and Alvarez Masonry.
Pedro and his team restored and repaired my bluestone patio, bluestone walkway and Belgium block apron on the driveway. They did a fantastic job. They performed the work on time and left the area clean. Pedro was very responsive to any questions.
Pedro’s team does excellent work. Very attentive to me and my wife’s needs and made sure we were happy
Pedro gave me a time and date to visit my property but he was a no show. No call or text, just ghosted. I hope he is ok.
