The patio a 2020 Angi customer described filled their whole backyard — a hex fire-pit area, a raised garden bed, a barbecue area — and the reviewer wrote that Dilson showed up every day and asked questions so it came out the way they wanted. DS Construction and Maintenance works out of Watertown on masonry, patios and tile. Patios come up most. A June 2020 reviewer had their pavers reset and said Dilson stayed communicative from start to finish; a May 2020 customer called the quote competitive and said the team started right away. A couple hired the company in 2019 for a new backyard patio plus three gates to close in their yard, and in a September 2025 Google review a homeowner had a back porch renovated and said they hoped to use DS again. A 2023 reviewer who Venmoed the company by mistake said the money was sent back. June 2025 went differently. A repeat customer wrote that across several projects most of the work was ok, "not too bad, but also not great," and that major leaking problems turned up only a couple of months after one job was done; they added that DS was hard to find and that they had called a couple of times. Ask what happens when something fails after the crew leaves — who picks up the phone, how long the work is covered, and how soon someone comes back. The star ratings depend on where you look: 5.0 over 34 reviews on Angi, and 4 stars from four ratings on Google. For a paver patio, a walkway or masonry work where you want the same person on site each day, that is what the 2019 and 2020 accounts describe. Put the callback terms in writing before anyone starts.
Dilson and his team are very professional and thorough. We had a back porch that needed to be renovated and I couldn’t be happier with the work. Hope to use DS construction again.
Had several projects done with DS and his team in the past. Most of the work quality was ok, not too bad, but also not great. Till one day, there were major leaking issues happens only couple month after the work is done. DS was so hard to find. I had called him a couple times, and he was very inpatient but finally agreed to come by to fix the issue. But the his patching work didn't work. Long story short, eventually I had to find another contractor to fix the leak and redo the work.
I accidentally Venmo DS construction instead of the company I meant to. They sent the money back. They are VERY HONEST
Incredibly professional, one of the best contractors I have ever dealt with. Worked hard and had a great attention to detail. Highly recommend
Dilson is a true professional. Show up every day. Ask questions so the patio came out just how I wanted it. The patio filled my back yard and had a hex fire place area, a raised garden bed area an a barbecue area. Top quality work. Always there to supervise his men. High recommendation.
