My wife and I cannot say enough good things about DiBarra Masonry. We needed a new driveway (2500 sq ft). We got 4 quotes before we got our quote from DiBarra. DiBarra was the first company to say "We can work within your budget". This was huge in our decision making, because we really needed to save money. So Renee, who was the first person we interfaced with from DiBarra worked with us on the price/scope from the very beginning. Renee was honest, professional and so easy for us to work with. He told us exactly what was going to be done, which was exactly the surface required for our driveway, which had huge roots cracking our whole driveway horribly. They removed the roots and put rebar down and then cement. And another thing to note, when they were done, there were no puddles of water when it rained. All water flowed exactly as we needed off the driveway. And then the driveway crew started work less than a week after we met with Renee. They worked for three days, completed all tasks as scheduled , and we could not be happier with the driveway and the way DiBarra employees worked with us so closely on what was being done. Everyday we were told everything that would be done, and they were spot on with the proposed schedule. They finished right on the time they said they would, and never tried to have us spend more money for things that were not in our budget. The price we were invoiced from the beginning is the price we paid. We have to give a special shout out to Eddie and Carlos. Eddie was a worker bee and was here everyday for the three days of effort. He was the best. He was helpful in explaining everything and kept us in the loop on all that was being done. He was professional and meticulous in his work. I am a retired Director of Engineering for Boeing's Space & Communications division, with over 1000 employees working under my directorate. Eddie would be one of those employees that in my performance review, I would say "exceeds in his performance" for everything. When I have future jobs done by DiBarra Masonry, I will try and make sure that Eddie is part of that team. And along those lines Carlos, a manager on the effort, I saw everyday as well and he worked very close with me on what was to be done. Carlos also was professional and had a great bedside manner which made him very easy to talk to. Overall as I said, I cannot say enough good things about DiBarra Masonry, but I have tried to highlight just how good they are. I am recommending them to all my neighbors (who also need new driveways!) Tom Meseroll & Annette Cascone read more

DiBara did a brick patio to the front of the house, and extension of brick patio in back. They extended a stucco block wall, and provided large multi-colored rocks to existing planters. Before selecting DiBara, I vetted an number of general and masonry contractors and pavers. I went with DiBara--and so happy I did. They gave a free quote, were reasonable, and clearly knowledgeable about the work to ensure a good work product, without water drainage issues. The finished job was beautifully executed. It was better than I expected. There were no disappointments. They even did a yeoman job in managing to come as close to possible to matching my existing old brick--no easy task. I am beyond pleased with their professional work ethics, workmanship, results--and DiBara. I cannot say enough good things about them and the experience. Rene, who quoted the job, the foremen (Edgar, Carlos), and absolutely everyone of the workers, were, without exception, truly wonderful and caring people--who knew what they were doing. Their work performed was knowledgeable, skillful and meticulous. It exuded skill and pride. Communications were excellent. In sum, this is a stand-up, stand-out, but humble company, that cares, knows this area or work, and delivers. I cannot say enough good things about DiBara. The experience, the people, and final work product, could not have been better. read more

I had the great pleasure of working with Dibara Masonry to get a quote for repairing the cracks in my driveway. As my wife put it, now that I've messed up the masonry work trying to fix it myself, let's call the real experts. I called Dibara Masonry and left a voice mail, and within 30 minutes, Matt Dibara, one of the owners, returned my call. He asked if he could drop by the next day to look at the job as he was going to be in my area. Wow, now that is being responsive. Matt showed up, he was extremely polite, and he explained to my wife what needed to be done in easy-to-understand terms rather than masonry jargon that would have been hard to understand by anyone but masonry experts. He also videotaped the driveway so that he could show his team exactly what needed to be done. As my spine surgery recovery and return to work was just extended, I can't move forward with my work now. Darn. I would strongly recommend DiBara Masonry to anyone who has cracks in their driveway or sidewalks, or for replacing either one of them. This is an extremely professional company that takes great pride in their work and in providing some of the best customer relations I've experienced in a long time. I won't hesitate to call Dibara Masonry once I get back onto my feet. read more

Our previous experience with a contractor (a kitchen remodel) was so terrible that we were expecting the worst when we hired DiBara, just because we are newbies at this remodel thing. My wife has been through child-birth that was more pleasant than what we experienced with that contractor. Our experience with DiBara couldn't have been different if we'd scripted it. The whole company embarked upon our job with great enthusiasm, kept in constant touch with us regarding what was or wasn't going to be done at any particular time, made us feel that there was nobody they'd rather be working with, provided us with a crew of professionals that remained constant throughout the whole project so that we came to know each person individually, they did what they said they'd do when they said they'd do it, were unfailingly polite and conscientious...I could go on and on. We have NOTHING negative to say about these terrific people; they did beautiful work on our new porch and walkways, made suggestions that were always better than what we'd envisioned...working with DiBara was extremely rewarding, and we've already asked them back to do masonry repair and to work on our chimney. We would NEVER consider anyone else to help us with our home! read more

DiBara deserves all the kudos I've read online. A good job requires: 1) a clear meeting of the minds on the work to be completed and clear communication throughout the project with no surprises, 2) no attempts at upsells or surprises, 3) friendly communicative staff that engage with the customer frequently on progress and ask questions to ensure the clearest understanding, 4) scheduling without surprises, 5) review with customer regarding work completed & reaching agreement that everything is satisfactory. Renee (Sales), Edgar (PM), Eduardo, and Jose P exceeded my expectations on all of the above... I've never been able to say that regarding previous work done by other contractors. Renee and I easily reached agreement on work and cost and he never tried to upsell me--which is important to me. Edgar was friendly and engaging from the moment he rang my doorbell and Eduardo, great conversation and responsible work as well. Edgar and I had to work through some details--which posed no problem for either of us. Jose P did excellent work and kept me informed throughout as he tied the rebar and placed and finished the concrete. Literally, my experience could not have been better. read more

We live in a challenging hillside community where weather, gravity, heavy electric vehicles, and aging infrastructures conspire to compromise retaining walls, entryways, raised (over king post) garage floors and more. Matt and his teams took on two unique projects for us in a one-month period. The assessment process was well informed and timely; and, the process of coming to an affordable and workable outcome was professionally managed. The administrative/office and working/on-site teams were universally well briefed on the project, those working the site arrived on-time, were cooperative in an area stressed by multiple ongoing construction projects, they were polite and communicative and took seriously the good work to which they were committed. Shout outs and high praise for Matt, Edgar, the sales and accounting teams, Special shout outs to Francisco and Fernando and John and Gabriel. I strongly recommend this superlative fourth generation business to anyone seeking assistance with hillsides, walls, and concrete work. We look forward to speaking with Dibara Masonry about the future refurbishment of our neighborhood easement entryway and connecting driveways. read more

This is our first ever Yelp review. Our recent experience with DiBara Masonry was so positive that we felt inspired to leave our comments. Their consultation expert Frank really made us feel secure in our choice to move forward with his ability to mastermind just what our property needed and always took the time to educate us along the way. I was encouraged by his demeanor to ask as many questions as possible and never felt self-conscious doing so. Matt and his team of workers were respectful of our time, our property, our neighbors and demonstrated integrity and pride in their work. Special thanks to Alex & Joe at the office for managing the project timeline and flow. The project was completed exactly on schedule and to our highest liking. Thanks again to DiBara Masonry, the ONLY masonry company that we will be recommending to our neighbors in the years ahead. If you are on the fence, so to speak, about which company to hire, look no further. Sincerely, R & L, Mt. Washington read more

When dealing with a retaining wall issue, someone will suggest to you that they know someone who knows someone who can, "Just fix it." Thankfully, we went with Matt DiBara and DiBara Masonry. Matt guided us patiently, knowledgeably and confidently through the best way to address a 70' x 7' leaning wall that is still doing its job after last year's 100-year rains. Matt's experience combined with a structural engineer's input ultimately resulted in a solution we believe to be safe for our family. Unfortunately, our story didn't end as we had anticipated and the City of LA got involved. At that point, we were incredibly thankful for having chosen DiBara. Matt guided, tried t talk with City and strategized with me each step of the way. Had we not taken such a thoughtful approach with engineering drawings, we would never have been able to move forward. We absolutely recommend DiBara Masonry. You get what you pay for. read more

DiBara Masonry came through for us on a historical restoration project. The job was to replace a large section of a concrete walkway that dates back to the 1920s. The walkway attaches to an even older historic adobe structure, so not only did the new concrete have to be color and texture matched to the remaining historic concrete, but extreme care had to be taken where it joined with the adobe structure. Throughout planning, demolition, prep, pouring and finishing, the DiBara representatives were on time, on schedule and very professional. The cost was reasonable as well. We are extremely pleased with the end result and hope to work with DiBara Masonry on future projects. My organization is often challenging for contractors to work with due to our paperwork requirements, but the office team at DiBara helped make the transaction as smooth as possible. Kudos to the entire DiBara team! read more

My husband and I highly recommend and appreciate everyone at DiBara Masonry. We needed our driveway slope repaired. The slope had cracked in half and had begin to sink into the ground. We reached out to several companies who were unwilling to come out and do the job for us. When it comes to residential masonry work in the area I live in, my husband and I found it very difficult to find a company willing to come into the area and work. But DiBara answered my call right away and came out the very next day. Paul was very thorough with outlining the services and fees. And within days the repairs were done. The work crew was amazing. They came on time. They were patient with our questions and detailed with their answers. They were super professional. And the best part was that they finished in one day and the job was perfect. Our next masonry job is theirs! Carla read more

From our first meeting until our last with Matt DiBara, he was enthusiastic, easy to talk to and entirely professional. Speaking to Matt and listening to the history of his family's business gave us confidence in him and their company. We hired them to reconstruct our fireplace. During construction there were aspects of our project that depended on other sources - unrelated to DiBara's work - that caused unforeseen hangups. Throughout it all, DiBara stuck with us, they were unwavering in their support, and ultimately finished our fireplace with beautiful results. We are grateful to Matt and Flip for their hard work and great business. P.S. Every time Matt came around, our dog Milo was very drawn to him. He was a great sport about it and always made sure to give Milo some pets before leaving. read more

We asked DiBara to correct a terrible job of concrete steps another inept company did. They examined the problems we were left with and gave us their analysis, cost and remedy. They did such a beautiful job at a fair price in just a few days. We were impressed with their precision in laying out the project and matching the bricks to match the rest of our patio. The workers were always polite and thoughtful and cleaned up after each day. The supervisor checked everything a few days after to make sure it was exactly as we wanted it. We were extremely pleased! They are an outstandingly excellent company with integrity and pride and fine craftsmen who are efficient and take pride in their work. Thank you for a great job. Addy & Jerry read more

As a design professional, I respect craftsmanship, solid management and attention to detail. The team at DiBara demonstrated all of this and more, from initial contact with ownership--first estimates and contracts--to closeout, delivered my repair project with a sense of purpose. Each person on the team, from project manager, to superintendent, to primary masonry team, all were well briefed on my modestly scaled project. All understood the project, knew the work required, were enthusiastic about the project, and were painstaking in finding solutions to onsite conditions that crop up. I believe they are one of the best masonry teams that I have worked with in the US. read more

I hired DiBara Masonry to build a brick mailbox and install brick pavers in the front entryway of my home. I can't say enough good things about the entire DiBara team, Rene, Edgar, Carlos, etc. I would highly recommend this company to anyone considering hiring them for a project. If you get the opportunity, request John on your project. John does extraordinary brick work and is wonderful to work with. He is very meticulous and takes pride in his work... all the qualities you would want for someone working on your home. I found him to be very creative and artistic with his work and I appreciated his attention to detail. John is a rockstar in my book! read more

The excellent team at DiBara were absolutely phenomenal. They not only successfully performed a complex renovation, but also expertly navigated a challenging regulatory environment including permits, inspections and always came up with timely and effective solutions. I can't thank the whole DiBara team enough for their hard work, care and dedication to our project. Matt, Edgar, Carlos, Erica and the whole team - are all real professionals and more importantly caring and kind people. The demolition, masonry and finishing work was all done extremely well, communication was top notch and pricing was fair and transparent. Highly recommended! read more

We are so happy with our new porch, rebuilt by the team at DiBara Masonry! Matt DiBara himself came to the house to video the work to be done. It was detailed and succinct, and I kept a copy of the video as a reminder of how thorough and professional he was. The rebuild was performed in phases by the DiBara specialists till it was complete and to our satisfaction. I highly recommend this company, with a special shout out to Carlos, who updated us on the next steps and the "other Matt" who did a super job with our columns and porch measurements. We look forward to hiring this exceptional company again. Thank you! read more

First off my project involved retaining wall repair. I would say there are several things that stand out to me when thinking about Dibara Masonry: A step by step process in terms of assessing the project, designing and then creating a realistic timeline to execute the plan. Once the show is on the road things come together quickly. After all is said and done the quality of the craftsmanship and timely manner in which Dibara Masonry completed my retaining wall repair leaves me with the hope that future projects can bring us together to get another job done. read more

DiBara Masonry is absolutely the best professional company we have ever worked with. A family owned company where everyone we had contact with from start to completion of our project cared about the quality of their work. The pride their employee take in making sure that every aspect of your job is done right and on time is amazing. A special thank you to Matt, all the office staff and employees who worked onsite. Our backyard concrete pad with surrounding bricks looks fantastic. We will be using them for all our future projects. read more
