Stone Masonry & Hardscape is Elmer Zacarias-Perez's hardscape and masonry crew in Lynn, 21 years into the business with a team of ten. The reviews on file, all from 2026, describe patios, retaining walls, and paving-stone driveways built at a real scale. One customer said a 14x20 patio went from a competitive quote to a finished, cleaned-up job in a day and a half, after scheduling within a week. Another had Elmer and his crew replace a 55-foot retaining wall, calling the result better than expected at a reasonable price. A third collected eight competing estimates before choosing him, saying he responded immediately to every question afterward. A large yard-landscaping and asphalt project, and a full gravel-to-paving-stone conversion of a parking area, are both described as staying on schedule with a responsive, punctual crew. Thumbtack's own rating breakdown shows 10% of its 112 ratings at one star — a real share of dissatisfied customers whose specifics don't show up in the reviews quoted here. For a patio, retaining wall, or paving-stone project in the Lynn area, the recent, detailed reviews describe a crew that handles big jobs on schedule; given that one-star share, it's worth asking for references from a couple of recent, similarly sized projects before committing.
Easy to work with. Elmer came out quickly to discuss the Patio project and gave a competitive quote. Work was scheduled within a week and a 14X20 Patio was build in 1.5 days. They did a great job cleaning up after the job. Highly recommended.
Elmer and his crew did a fantastic job replacing a 55ft retaining wall. Exceeded expectations and at a reasonable price. Will be hiring him for my next project!
I have nothing but high praise for the quality of work that Elmer and his workers provided. Elmer responded immediately to all of my questions and addressed any concerns that I had. I received eight different estimates for my project and Elmer was the only professional who did not attempt to over charge me. He was honest and trustworthy. I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone or to have him return and do any additional masonry work that I needed on my home. His employees always showed up on time and worked the entire day. The concrete front steps of my home had caved in and I was having surgery within the next week so it was an emergency to get my stairs replaced. Elmer started working within two days. I couldn’t be happier with the steps that they completed for me.
Very happy with the work Elmer and his team did on our large yard landscaping project with Asphalt. It was very big project but they did it professionally without many delays or issues. They were reachable always and responsive. It is very difficult to mind reliable contractors but his team was definitely one we could trust.
I was looking for someone to change the surface of my front parking area from gravel to paving stone. Elmer Zacarias contacted me promptly to give me an estimate. His team started on the day I signed the contract. They were punctual and responsive. The workmanship and professionalism of his team was excellent, and his price was, by far, the most reasonable. I highly recommend Elmer!
