## The honest read

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+.

**Strengths:**
- Hard-access backyards — October 2026 job: walls, patio and steps
- Itemized quotes — 2024 customer got the only line-by-line quote
- Accurate estimates — July 2026 stucco estimate came out 90%+ accurate
