Last 6 months: 3 reviews, 0 negative. ## The honest read Shkembi Masonry is a Connecticut patio and steps business that Erlin runs alongside his father, and in a July 2026 review a customer said that when a small area of their year-old patio puddled after rain, one call got it fixed two days later. Google shows 5★ from 12 ratings, and Angi and HomeAdvisor each show 4.9★ from 15 ratings. The company's site says it has over 30 years of experience. In a June 2026 review, a customer said Erlin and his father redid their steps. An April 2026 customer had a patio and walkway done in just a few days, and the crew spread dirt and grass seed where the yard needed it. In an April 2025 review, a customer said Erlin, his dad and their team built a zen garden and redid the patio, working through the rain to finish on time. A March 2025 customer said Erlin raised an existing walkway to eliminate a step and resurfaced the cement steps in stone in a single day. The older Angi reviews are from 2023 and 2024. In 2024, a customer said the crew completed a gigantic patio in only 2 days. In a 2023 review, a customer said the crew came up with a plan to replace only a limited number of blocks to save them money, and another had a front stoop designed and installed after a walkway the company built that July. Its Connecticut home improvement contractor registration is active with the state registry. The BBB grades it A+. **Strengths:** - Stands behind work — July 2026 puddle fixed two days after a call - One-day step jobs — March 2025 walkway raised and steps resurfaced - Cost-saving repairs — 2023 crew replaced only the blocks needed ## Claims & citations Every claim below is backed by real evidence rows — uncited claims are dropped in code before publication. - Connecticut home improvement contractor registration HIC.0669316 is active, held by Shkembi Masonry LLC _(confidence: high)_ - [State License Registry](https://www.elicense.ct.gov/Lookup/LicenseLookup.aspx) — “CT hic license HIC.0669316 registry-verified active — registry holder of record: SHKEMBI MASONRY LLC” - Google 5 stars from 12 ratings; Angi and HomeAdvisor 4.9 from 15 ratings _(confidence: high)_ - [Google](https://www.google.com/maps/search/?api=1&query=Shkembi%20Masonry%20LLC&query_place_id=ChIJQ2FYBtk4DUQRdUBif4K80uc) — “Google: 5★ from 12 ratings” - [Angi](https://www.angi.com/companylist/us/ct/waterbury/shkembi-masonry-llc-reviews-1.htm) — “Angi: 4.9★ from 15 ratings” - [HomeAdvisor](https://www.homeadvisor.com/rated.ShkembiMasonryLLC.134076973.html) — “HomeAdvisor: 4.9★ from 15 ratings” - BBB grade A+ _(confidence: high)_ - [Better Business Bureau](https://www.bbb.org/us/ct/waterbury/profile/mason-contractors/shkembi-masonry-llc-0111-110090459) — “Better Business Bureau grade: A+” - A July 2026 customer said a puddling area on a year-old patio was fixed two days after one call _(confidence: medium)_ - [Google Reviews](https://www.google.com/maps/reviews/data=!4m8!14m7!1m6!2m5!1sCi9DQUlRQUNvZENodHljRjlvT25CT2FDMTZia2N4WWtRdFZuQkpNak15T0haWU9WRRAB!2m1!1s0x0:0xe7d2bc827f624075!3m1!1s2@1:CAIQACodChtycF9oOnBOaC16bkcxYkQtVnBJMjMyOHZYOVE%7C%7C?hl=en-US) — “5★ These guys did a GREAT job building our patio.
