C&T Masonry

A homeowner writing in November 2025 had C&T's number in hand as the cheapest of three quotes, and said plainly that it worried them — they expected the work to match the price. "I was wrong," they wrote. Danny is the owner, and he runs this masonry company out of Manchester, New Hampshire with a crew customers name about as often as they name him. Its Angi profile claims ten years of experience, free estimates and Spanish-speaking service. Retaining walls are the bulk of the work. In a May 2025 review, a customer described an older block wall leaning from years of settlement being taken apart block by block, the settled soil cleared out, stone backfilled, and every block reset in its original position. Another, in October 2025, had a retaining wall that had collapsed on one side completely rebuilt — in a single day. This August, a customer had one side of a driveway walled and planned to bring the crew back for the other side. Steps, patios and walkways make up most of the rest. In June 2026 a homeowner had broken brick front doorsteps repaired after Danny came out and talked through the scenarios his crew might hit once they started; another, the same month, had a walkway and patio built by a crew that showed up early and worked all day. A 2023 customer had old brick walkways replaced with pavers, finished quickly through rough weather. Price comes up in roughly a third of the written accounts — the August 2026 retaining-wall customer called them best priced, the November 2025 one the most reasonable quote of the three. So does cleanup: customers in 2025 and 2026 describe the property put back in order, one saying it was left better than it was found. Two things are worth settling before work starts. The Angi profile states that no warranties are offered, so put in writing what happens if a wall settles or a joint opens later. It also lists no emergency service, even though a business owner in February 2024 had Danny out the next morning for two badly leaking chimneys — if your job is urgent, ask rather than assume. For a retaining wall, a patio, steps or chimney repair around Manchester, this is a crew that turns up and finishes. Get the scope, price and schedule on paper, raise the warranty question directly, and, if timing matters, pin down when they can actually start.
