Shazo's Masonry LLC says on its Houzz profile that it does all types of masonry and has over 30 years of experience. A 2024 Google customer wrote that they hired Shazo three times, and his son Adrian once, to build and fix two stone walls and a walkway. That 2024 customer said the quality of the work was not the issue; six months after paying Adrian more than half, the stone-wall job remained unfinished and Shazo had blocked their number. A 2023 Houzz reviewer wrote that Adrian and Shazo took $7,400 for a full bluestone walkway and patio rebuild that never got done. A 2022 Google customer said Shazo and Adrian took a $3,000 deposit and said they would start work in two weeks; more than three months later, that customer wrote, the deposit had not been returned and texts and calls went unanswered. A different 2022 Google customer said Shazo and Adrian came back to view a walkway that was falling apart 1.5 years after being contacted, agreed it needed to be pulled up and redone, and four months later had stopped returning calls. Connecticut lists its home improvement contractor registration, HIC.0581579, held by Shazo's Masonry & Landscaping, as expired.
Shazo comes off as a charming, "happy to oblige" Mason. His son, Adrian is cut from the same cloth. I hired Shazo three times, his son, once, to build and fix two stone walls and a walk way. I made the mistake of trusting Shazo's honesty and even though it took a year to complete one of the projects, like a"dunce", I hired Shazo and his son, Adrian to fix two stone walls. At first, it looked as though this latest project was going to go without a hitch and would be completed on time. Don't get me wrong, the other job that Shazo completed looks great. My issue isn't with the quality of the work, but instead with Shazo and Adrian's honesty and integrity. Unfortunately, and even though I paid Adrian more than half, it has now been six months and the job remains unfinished. In fact, Shazo has even blocked my number. The cement and sand that was purchased for the job is no longer usable and the town dump won't take it. They also left equipment, see pix, behind that I will now need to dispose of. I am 69 and on a fixed income, I am also far too trusting. I gave Adrian the advance he needed, because he said his truck needed repairs in order to finish the job, and I believed him. It is obvious to me now that it was all a scam. I will be taking the matter up with the Bureau of Consumer Affairs, so that hopefully Shazo and his son cannot "con" another unsuspecting customer. I have never left a review, nor have I ever filed a complaint through official channels. I am doing this now, in the hopes that they can't do this to another "unsuspecting" customer. So, BUYER BEWARE!!!!! Do not allow this to happen to you. Maria
The Ajdinoski Comtractors team, Adrian & Shazo (aka Sazo), took $7,400 on a full bluestone walkway and patio rebuild. Please be aware of them. We were too trusting, lesson learned. Awful experience, now we have to deal with the fallout of this never getting done and being out all of the funds we set aside for years.
Believe the warnings by other reviewers. It has been over 3 months since Sazo/Shazo and his son/partner Adrian took our $3,000 deposit. They said they would start work in two weeks. That was all lies and broken promises. I saw him in the neighborhood and confronted him “your house is next boss” he told me. A few days later he dropped off a day laborer to dig a hole. After months of hounding them and hearing nothing but excuses I demanded my money back. It has now been over 3 months, the deposit has NOT been returned and they have stopped replying to texts and calls. Keep your sanity and do not engage with the Ajdinoski family for masonry or contract work.
Follow up on my previous post. They (Shazo and Adrian) finally returned to view the work falling apart, 1.5 years after I contacted them. They agreed with me that the walkway needed to be pulled up and redone. They told me they would be back in a month or so to complete. Fast forward, four months later, after many excuses about why they couldn’t get to me to fix the work, they have now stopped returning my calls. Also, after posting my original message, I heard from many people, who expressed the same frustrations that I have had. Do NOT use them.
