Mario Masonry & Restoration

Mario Masonry & Restoration is a masonry contractor run by Mario, often working alongside Robert or Roberto, with a broad and very active recent review record. Reviews describe chimney rebuilding and repointing, including adding a chimney cap and restoring a stone-faced chimney; foundation repair, including fixing loose bricks and refinishing a foundation with a new concrete apron; steps and stairs work in granite, brick, and concrete, including repointing and resurfacing; and patio work, including a new paver patio and repairing and resealing a 20-plus-year-old flagstone patio. Google shows 4.7 out of 5 stars from 33 ratings, and reviewers are especially consistent about a few things: fair, transparent pricing that several say beat other quotes, quick responses and on-time arrival, and clean job sites left behind when the work is done. One reviewer described Mario making time for a small foundation repair that other companies wouldn't bother with given the modest fee involved. The record isn't spotless: in a 2026 review, a customer described concrete filling work done in cold December weather that later chipped and looked bad, adding that two other contractors they consulted afterward had weighed in on the problem. It is the one clearly negative account among 32 written reviews on file, most of them from the past year, so it is worth weighing against an otherwise strong and current pattern. Recent activity is strong — 11 reviews in the past six months, with that one negative review among them. For chimney, foundation, steps, or patio masonry work, Mario Masonry & Restoration's pricing and responsiveness stand out; given the one reported issue, it is worth asking specifically about weather conditions and curing time for any concrete work scheduled in colder months.
