POOR WORK ETHICS!!! We paid for our bricks way in advance, and they had been ordered and were…read morewaiting for delivery. But when it came time to start the job, this company had sold our bricks to someone else instead of delivering them to our home. (Even their own workers said they had done this to others as well.) Then our job had to be delayed a few days more waiting for new bricks to arrive. Already waited 8 months for job to start since windows took forever to arrive. Once work began, their mason did a piss poor job, slopping mortar all over the bricks and not keeping a consistent filling. The mortar between the bricks was from 1/2" - 1 1/2". Looked awful. On top of that, the mason should have seen that the old mortar was only a half-inch thickness between bricks and tried to match it. He packed in way too much mortar which makes it look too white and brings attention to this wall. Nothing but big chunks. Their mason also created a sample section with a gray grout for us to see but once we decided it didn't match the old brickwork and needed white/cream, he didn't bother to take down the few bricks, but instead smeared the white mortar right on top of the gray mortar making an absolute mess! This was only a two-day job, but the mason's boss at East Coast Masonry kept sending him to other jobs that had come after us - way after us. What should have taken 2 days took almost 3 weeks! Our contractor had to have words with them, and their mason had to come back out to clean up and correct his mess. Had their mason built it properly the first time, time would not be wasted. Perhaps if you're rich and spend thousands of dollars with East Coast Masonry you'll get top notch service and workmanship. But for the average family FIND ANOTHER MASON!

I contacted this company due to the purchase of my home last year. It is made of brick and there were some areas in need of repair, as well as reconstruction of an ornamental brick wall. Clint and his men came to my house on time, did an excellent job and cleaned up after themselves. No mess for me. I was surprised that a company this large would take on a small job like my home, but they did without a grunt. I am very impressed with the professional workmanship performed at a reasonable price. I am very happy to provide East Coast with my very highest recommendation.

We have been contacted by Horry County, SC, Detectives ! We were told that this man has many open summonses and warrants against him, and they are actively looking for him, but he has no valid drivers license or contractors license, no insurance , and gives addresses and info he has used for many years. They have asked we contact them if he contacts us again. Don't be fooled by Russ Shockley's smooth talk and big promises ! We are out thousands of dollars, and still are working to save up the money to be able to hire someone else to do the job he did not finish and buy materials we paid for but never received. This guy is a bad guy ! He didn't miss a step when he stole from us - senior citizens and a veteran !! He never blinked !! We know we are not the only ones this happened to ! We urge you to speak up ! File a complaint in small claims court. It costs $80.00. We think it is money well spent if it helps catch this creep and put him in jail - or maybe picking up garbage to earn money to pay restitution to those he stole from !
