R&M Masonry is a Waterbury father-and-son stone business: customers describe John handling the quote and the contract, and his father Romeo doing the masonry. Google shows 5★ from 28 ratings and HomeAdvisor 4.9★ from 79 ratings. The newest jobs are big ones. In an October 2026 Google review, a customer with difficult access points said the team built 3 retaining walls, a stamped concrete patio and steps, and did stucco work that covered basement windows to match the rock stone foundation. An August 2026 HomeAdvisor customer said a worn concrete and flagstone walk and wooden stairs were replaced, with the walkway pitched for water removal, at a price better than other quotes. A July 2026 stucco customer was struck by how accurate the estimate was: measurements taken by pacing things out and guessing heights came out 90%+ accurate. In a 2025 review, a customer had a back patio with a retaining wall and walkway built and the front stairs resurfaced with bluestone treads, with Romeo as the main mason. A 2024 customer asked for an itemized quote and said R&M was the only contractor who gave one, between $1600 and $2600 lower than the others. A 2023 garage floor customer said the crew cleaned spots off the driveway with a sponge after the concrete was poured. Its Connecticut home improvement contractor registration is active with the state registry. The BBB grades it A+.
Did a beautiful front walk and included a small concrete repair. The work speaks for itself. Provided requested documents, CT licensing and contract.
Honest. Hardworking. Experienced. Very responsive to any communication I sent. This team tackled a big job that had difficult access points with EASE! They were true professionals that delivered above and beyond in the quality of their work. They did all 3 retaining walls, stamped concrete patio and steps seen in video. They did stucco work and beautifully covered up basement windows to match the rock stone foundation and you couldn't even tell where it was Thank you so much for transforming our backyard into a place we will enjoy for many years to come!
I would highly recommend R&M MasonryThey arrived on time every day, the yard was left clear of any construction debris and the workmanship was superb. I am full of gratitude for the work they did.
Absolutely. Better than we expected, for a price better than other quotes received. Previously we had a worn and broken walk of concrete inlaid with old chipped flagstones and wooden stairs. See first photo with only partial view of walkway. R and M not only masterfully replaced both, but somehow brought out old features we didn’t even realise existed and improved upon them. For example artistically rendered walkway angles and expert pitching for water removal. They transformed a somewhat embarrassing front view of our smaller home into something we are proud of. Meticulous and organized workflow and cleanup. More than very satisfied, we recommend them with the highest level of conviction.
I highly recommend R&M! Their stucco work was excellent this summer. I've used other companies in the past, but these guys are now saved in my phone for anything else I need in the future! I was especially impressed by how accurate their estimates were. They took measurements by pacing things out and guessing heights, and when I checked afterward, they were 90%+ accurate. I think they've done this before 🤣 They also handled a few changes I threw at them quickly and totally reasonably without missing a beat, and the end result is awesome! Thanks, guys—excellent work!
