Let me start by saying: When I found out that I would need to replace the old, rotten hardwoods throughout half of my house, the task seemed insurmountable. Not only did I need to rip out those old floors, but there was seventy five year old mastic attached to the concrete prohibiting me from pouring the concrete I wanted onto my floors. I came to Walley Masonry for help, to see if there was anything we could do. Tyshawn, without batting an eye, said he could get it done. From a personal standpoint, Tyshawn is an upstanding individual. He respected me and my wishes for the project, and treated the project as if it was his own home he was working on. Not only that, but as all things are in construction, there were several hurdles in our way when removing the mastic, as it was extremely stubborn. Even with remedy after remedy not working, Tyshawn never gave up on making sure the job was done correctly. From a business perspective, Tyshawn is hardworking, committed, and dedicated to the project he is working on. He put in long hours, working well into the night, to get the project done. Whether it be from staying late stripping the mastic off the concrete, pouring the concrete, or making sure to take the extra time to pay fine attention to the details that otherwise may have been missed, Tyshawn made sure that the job was not only done, but that it was done right. You will see in the photos the complete night and day difference between what I started with, and what Tyshawn helped me create. I appreciate him, and would fully support and endorse hiring him for whatever masonry needs you may have!

He did nice work of bringing my patio back to life and antiquing it again and then sealing it. However, when he caulked the edges, for some reason he taped over the caulk and then left it to bake in the hot sun, rather than removing it the next day as he had promised. I called him reminding him about removing the tape for almost three weeks. By the time he sent someone the tape was baked to the caulk and the caulk came off with the tape. Instead of his workman replacing the caulk, he just left. I called Vinny many time about him coming back to replace the missing caulk and he kept promising he would come and never showed up. After about twelve phone calls to him, I told him he was leaving me no choice other than to write a negative review unless he showed up to replace the caulk. He had asked me to write a positive review. He has never showed up again. The missing caulk has put my house in jeopardy of flooding, as he well knows. I paid him, in good faith, that he would removed the tape the next day. A word to any future customers, DON'T BELIEVE HIM!!!!

They took an ugly set of pre cast steps and turned it into a work of art. The poured steps with the polyurea/ flake finish is amazing. I wish that I could post before and after pictures... Working with concrete requires flexibility in scheduling due to weather ,etc.. Any time that Zach was not going to working on the project, he called or texted me to let me know what was going on. ( His wife even called me once to tell me he was running late ! Who does that?!!) He worked tirelessly to complete the project and would not stop until I was COMPLETELY satisfied. My neighbors are amazed at how the final project turned out and cannot stop complimenting our new entry steps. Thanks to Zach and Dan, they're the best!

I have never written a negative review before, but due to the significant financial stress this…read moreproject has caused my family, I feel obligated to share my experience. We hired this contractor to install a concrete patio to address a drainage issue near our foundation. Despite raising concerns throughout the project, the finished patio was graded toward our house and directed water directly at the foundation, the exact problem it was supposed to solve. I also had concerns about the workmanship, including stone being placed directly on grass and retaining wall rocks during site preparation. Additionally, the patio was tied into our block foundation with rebar. While we were aware this was being done, we later learned from independent contractors that this is not recommended in our climate due to freeze-thaw conditions. After years of hiring contractors for home improvement projects, this has been by far our worst experience. The patio had to be removed shortly after installation, resulting in significant additional expense and the need to hire a new contractor to redo the work correctly. I would encourage future customers to carefully document everything and independently verify grading, drainage, and construction methods before work begins.

He then took a little longer to complete the job to ensure that it was done correctly and to my liking. I'm very happy with his meticulous and detail-oriented work; plan to employ him on additional projects - a 200 old brick house will provide many such projects. Best details: along with refurbishing the old wrought iron railings so they look sharp, he applied an aggregate coating that was a good match to the old stair color, plus several layers of epoxy to stabilize the stairs and make them winter-safe.
