What recent reviews say

Stone and brick work stands out for precision: reviewers report retaining walls rebuilt square, front steps redesigned cleanly, and garden walls hand-placed with care. Waterproofing results speak louder than promises-basements stay dry through heavy rain after foundation sealing, French drain install, or crawl-space vapor barriers. The crew leaves no debris behind and sticks to timeline. Two reviewers reported a critical failure: after a botched garage floor paint job, James stopped answering calls despite committing to a refund. This glitch sits against 24 five-star reviews and raises a red flag about accountability when problems surface.

Masonry restoration shows the same attention to detail that appears in new builds: repointed brick pillars, rebuilt unstable garden walls, and damaged brickwork all blended back into existing designs without jarring transitions. Staff communicate progress on-site and answer questions in real time. Fair pricing appears consistent in the handful of mentions, though most reviewers focus on outcome rather than cost.

Elezi's crew earns consistent five-star praise for quick turnarounds, responsive communication, and skilled patio and walkway work done at fair prices. Staff show up on time, work efficiently, and clean up afterward. One significant complaint detailed corner-cutting on base materials and drainage for a patio job, with the client finding inadequate depth delivered despite explicit agreement, ultimately requiring removal and restart by another contractor. The business handles everything from front walks and stairs to patios and hardscaping in residential settings. Named staff include Elezi, Shkelqim, and his cousin. Most customers find the straightforward approach and willingness to revise plans mid-project a strength, though material specs and base foundation depth warrant careful written agreement before work begins.
