Our street has become increasingly busy making it difficult to back up during rush hour. We thought…read morea circular driveway would be a good solution and interviewed a few masonry firms - who either said it wasn't doable in our small space or disappeared altogether. Based on Yelp reviews we then called Devin from Flawless Masonry & Landscape who told us a circular driveway was absolutely doable! We were so impressed with Devin's design skills (including clear scaled digitized plans) and experience that we hired him on the spot. Plus Flawless's pricing was lower than other quotes we got. Icing on the cake. Then the pandemic hit so the job was delayed (NY orders), but Flawless came through after re-opening and did a superb job for us. The new driveway is both beautiful and functional, even our crabby neighbors like it! It was a big job but Flawless's skilled and friendly crew managed to finish in a week. Tiffany from the office was super responsive and polite throughout the project, keeping me in the loop at all times. Thank you Flawless for your integrity, talent and hard work!

1 Star - Defective Work, No Contract, Avoided Responsibility…read moreI hired Long Island Mason & Concrete Corp in June 2024 to pour a concrete patio for $5,900. The experience was a nightmare from start to finish. The Problems: The contractor requested payment in cash and never provided a written contract, which is required by New York law for jobs over $500. Within one week of the pour, two slabs began flaking and scaling. I immediately contacted the contractor. The work was done on a 100-degree day. When I raised concerns about the extreme heat affecting the concrete, the contractor acknowledged "this is the result of extreme heat" but refused to take responsibility as the professional who should have managed weather conditions or rescheduled. Months of Delays: Instead of promptly addressing the defects, the contractor stalled for months. When he finally offered to replace the two damaged slabs, he demanded I sign a liability waiver and warned the new concrete wouldn't match the color of the existing slabs - meaning I'd have a permanently mismatched patio due to his defective work. I offered a reasonable cash settlement to resolve the issue. He refused. I had no choice but to file a complaint with Nassau County Consumer Affairs. Official Violations: Consumer Affairs cited the contractor for multiple violations, including failure to provide a written contract (violation 202360, originally a $2,500 fine). He only agreed to a settlement after facing thousands in fines and potential license suspension. Ongoing Defects: After settling, two additional slabs developed structural cracks running completely across the slabs from joint to joint. All four slabs now show defects, confirming my original concern that the entire pour was compromised. Bottom Line: For a $5,900 job, I received a defective patio that required a 7-month battle through Consumer Affairs to get partial compensation. The contractor operates without proper contracts, pours in extreme conditions without adequate precautions, and avoids responsibility when problems arise. I strongly recommend hiring a licensed contractor who provides written contracts, follows proper procedures, and stands behind their work. This is not that contractor.

From the start, Paul was upfront and honest, giving us a fair price, a realistic timeline, and delivering beautiful quality work. The whole crew was so friendly and easy to work with, and they made the entire process feel seamless.

The driveway is large so I was skeptical anybody would be able to handle this project, but these guys provided an estimate that I was comfortable with and hired them on the spot. Paul and his guys showed up on time every day and made sure to clean up everything at the end of the day. Absolutely no complaints so I would have no problem recommending these guys to all my neighbors The price was fair and the quality was high, so If you want to hire somebody who's honest Paul is the guy! Will definitely be calling home for a patio project in the near future!

Regardless that Milton provided us the best quote, the work Milton and his team had done for the entry stoop and walkway pavers is art piece. He is reliable, responsible, and creativity. He and his team were always looking for better solutions for any challenges during the process, and finished the project in a timely manner that was way beyond our expectations. The work they do is not only about the look but also thinking beyond the structure, craftsmanships, and Professional. BTW, I like all of their professional power tools, especially the masonry table saw that ensure the precise of every block cut.
