Stan came over, saw my situation and right away knew exactly what I want. He saw that it was very narrow and said he can make it a little wider. While he was there, I mentioned that I want to have my foundation wall finished with stucco. He told me he has a guy who can do that too. Well, I got a couple of other quotes from others and I knew after that Stan was the right guy for the job. His numbers are very reasonable and I can tell he knew what he was doing. Stan has a great crew who showed up early and worked professionally. Good guys! The stairs, landing and the masonry work came out perfect!

He also demanded payment in full, prior to ordering. His wife called me two days prior to what he claimed was a factory price increase and instructed me to ZELLE funds to his account. I did so, but ZELLE would not do an immediate transfer (two days). The bank provided him with legitimate confirmation of payment codes for proof of payment. He refused to accept them. At the end of our telephone conversation, he began to swear at me profusely and wanted a 100% money wire to cover payment. In the end, his poor behavior showed his true colors as a shady business man.

The Lawnmark Plus truck broke our storm drain cover and its pavement when their inexperienced…read moredriver backed into a part of our driveway which was clearly too small for their heavily loaded, huge truck. You can see the photos online under Google Reviews. After 2 months of waiting for them to repair this, like they had mentioned and finally getting an answer that they won't do anything after we had to call them repeatedly & they would not talk to us directly, we wanted to find someone who could repair the damage before winter. Firstly, it is very hard to find anyone to quote the job. One vendor, with the most reviews on Google took 3 weeks and still finally quoted a crazy amount. I could probably build a new driveway 3 times over at that cost. Next guy, came quickly and quoted half of that crazy amount - which still made no sense. Finally, I came to Yelp at the end of the line, and asked for quotes, not expecting much. Of all the vendors who replied, Ben was the only one who was prompt, very responsive, and came quickly to do the quote. Then, we agreed to repair just what was needed and replace the cover with a metal one. The install date came quickly, and he went over & above to try and get the work done as estimated - including finding a metal cover, because in a few days time, they were sold out everywhere. We could not afford to pay more for the metal cover he did find, but he was gracious enough to cover the remaining amount himself. Pretty unheard of compared to the lawn company who had 0 customer commitment, responsibility or ethics. I wish we could have covered the total cost of the cover he did find, but not at this time. We just could not afford it. The work was done well. It is a solid, cast iron storm drain cover that should last a very long time. It is heartening to see young people do work in these areas where it is very hard to find anyone in the new generation doing these jobs. Hopefully, in the coming year, our situation will improve and when we do our driveway, I look forward to hiring Ben to redo it, as it is getting old. Other vendors should see and learn from his work ethic. This is how you get customers and customer loyalty. He is like the only other vendor I have found in the Greater Boston Area who put customer satisfaction above everything else. That is what we need in these times, where many of us are going through hard times, and we need more kindness and understanding around us. Well, Christmas is not that far off!

My review of Statewide Masonry &Construction and the waterproofing job I hired them to do work…read morestarting 10/10/2023. The owner Ben Cawley came out looked the Job over. I showed Ben the places where water comes starting at chimney base on west side of house around to the front side to the garage. Ben did go up on the roof to check the Chimney and mentioned that would need work. I took him down to the basement so I could show him exactly where the water comes in as the last heavy rain storm made a mess. There is a room underneath the garage I showed the places where water would enter. Back outside he told me what he was going to do and how, I am retired and have worked construction so I am familiar with what had to be done. Dig around foundation, dig out the two attached to house planters, front porch landing, cut the concrete and asphalt in front of garage Told me he would give me three estimates, Chimney side and front. The whole house foundation and the chimney work. I received emailed invoice with the three proposals. I went with front wall and right side only and chimney repair. Date was set for 10/3/2023. I was contacted by Ben later to change to 10/10/2023. I told him then to take the chimney out of the picture he was fine with that. This information is important as it will show in the next part. 10/10/23 Ben arrives with his crew they start working I sign the contract all seemed fine. When they got to the planters ran into problem. At one time the house had a walkway around the front and the planters were built on top so they would have to chip through the concrete to access the foundation. Good move canceling the chimney work, four grand to cost. They needed a hose for the concrete saw I let them use one. At another time I check and the side concrete landing was cut but not chipped. I asked Ben when he was going to get to the garage. He said the garage was not included, told we talked and I told him not to get the garage, I told him there was no way I would not include the garage, he was mistaken, He insists I told him to stop there. I told him again he was mistaken. The concrete is cut, side is dug, planters dug to concrete to be chipped I tried hard not to lose it. Told me on the contract he brought that day had "area discussed" those two words were not in the email with the proposals. See Pics. I told him again there is no way no how I would not include the garage. I am feeling like I am in a bad contractor joke. That is five grand added to the cost. I did the grin and bear it the best I could. Creditability has now entered the picture. That is, it for that part. The job is moving along and the last day got here, I hear them arrive. After a bit I go out to look, you will see the picture with a blue tarp. I started a landscaping project before this water situation. And I dug and screened the dirt I am putting new lawn is this part of the yard. Well, they wanted to fill the planters and without asking, and not knowing what it was for, they used it to fill the planters, Ben thought nothing of it apologized. Now the aesthetics for the house the concrete squares you see laying on the ground didn't get placed back and would have gotten tossed with the rubble If I had not gone out and had them saved. Now for the slate walkway to front porch, some pieces had to be moved to dig pulled them out no one took a picture. They did sort of get them in place just not very well, see pictures. I had three blue tarps I did not notice missing till the next day. I had to rake a lot of debris off the lawn, empty the planters as that is not how I fill them. That is why the concrete squares were in place there. 8 wheelbarrow loads from one planter with a lot of debris in it and on the other that had dirt from under tarp I shoveled to the ground that I cleared to seed. I posted a review similar to this one. Ben contacted me on how to make it right It. I told him to come clean the concrete spay stains from the concrete saw off the house. I went out there today10/25/2023 with a bucket of soapy water scrub brush and hose. Scrubbed the siding and the concrete not working to good, hole behind downspout not filled with concrete and now I have standing water where the concrete was cut and filled but not leveled and the expansion joints on the concrete landing need to be sealed see pics. The slate walkway is in disarray where the slate was removed and put back is sunken and not stable. Three pictures are of the room below the garage where we used drylock paint trying to stop some of the leaks. no way would I not have included this. Work was very unprofessional. A lot of damage. 10/26/2023 out to Lowes to get backing foam and Self Leveling Sealant for the expansion joints. J.P.L Again look at the pictures. Judge for yourself

I had noticed that a support column on my porch had been leaning and buckling outward. Upon further investigating the issue it turned out that the extent of the damage was greater than appeared on the surface as the post had completely rotted through, the wall had pulled away from the deck and the foundation underneath had crumbled. Despite the amount of work involved, John remained honest and fair as he provided me with several options and worked with me and my budget to get the best result possible to meet both my expectations as well as his high standard of quality. I am beyond pleased with the final outcome! They managed to get the entire side of the porch torn down, the foundation properly repaired and then have it all rebuilt and tied back into the existing stairs and porch within just a few days. If you are in need of any masonry, carpentry or decking work I can't recommend Tough Build Masonry enough. They were honest, hard working and kept me in the loop throughout the entire process.
