JC Stonecraft

Walkways, patios and retaining walls brought several customers back to JC Stonecraft for more work. In a February 2025 Google review, one homeowner described hiring the company for a retaining wall and front walk, then returning for stone in the wall’s garden and a matching walkway beside the stairs. A January 2025 customer likewise described a pool retaining wall followed by another retaining wall and a patio. James Ciriello identifies himself as JC Stonecraft’s owner and operator and says he has more than 20 years of masonry and stonework experience. The business offers free estimates. Its Connecticut home improvement contractor registration is active, and Google shows 5 stars from 12 ratings. The 2025 customer accounts describe both new installations and changes to existing entrances. A February reviewer said the company installed a front walk and patio and resurfaced the front steps. James was responsive from bidding through completion, the customer wrote, and was on site every day once work started, cleaning up at the end of each day. A January reviewer praised a redone front entrance and steps; another described a bluestone fireplace facelift. Two customers writing in January 2025 described how earlier walkways had held up. One said James built a 60-foot walkway in spring 2023 that still looked new after several snowstorms, and praised him for keeping appointments and leaving the price quote unchanged. Another recalled replacing a cracked concrete sidewalk with pavers about five years earlier. The customer said the old concrete was removed, the pavers were laid without high spots, and the surface remained smooth. A further January 2025 customer described several completed projects: stone and brick pads, a front-door step, replacement of a foundation skim coat, a chimney repair with a new cap, and closing a wood pass-through with brick. They praised the work and said the contractor showed up when promised.
