A number of houses on our street were cited by the city for sidewalk violations. I called around and checked Angie's list. I got several estimates and did a little more checking around and went with Frank. Everything was exactly as planned and the quality of work was excellent. Other than having to pay for sidewalks or face the sidewalk police, this could not have been better. I know there is a bad review out there. I have no idea how that could be.

Frank Mariani called me back to refer me to someone else who should be able to do the work (wonderful customer service!). However, as he went to end the call, he actually did not hang up and complained to someone nearby that I "think I know what I want because I did some research on the internet." Take that as you will.

Finding a good mason takes time and you also need the patience when they are in high demand. Such…read moreis the case with my experience with DiMarco masonry. I was in dire need of pointing for my home and also to address water issues coming off my solid cement staircase. Jim DiMarco came to my home late last year and went over what could be done to help me. He recommended putting in a metal drain below the "lip" of the staircase to reduce run off. When it comes to pointing, the business just doesn't fill in the gaps. Instead they dig out the old cement and insure fresh cement to insure a solid seal. Such was the plan given to me last fall and reflected on my estimate. At that time I was told my project would be done sometime this year. DiMarco masonry called me a day ahead of time to let me know what day and time they would be out and he and his assistant arrived promptly at the scheduled time. I checked in on the work here and there and saw that the work was very thorough and they cleaned up appropriately. Jim DiMarco showed me the metal lip he placed on my concrete block and hopefully it should keep excess water from running down my staircase and onto my newly finished bricks. If I had an issue at any time I was free to call him. I was very pleased with his services and am glad I could find a mason to do a quality job. This business is much in demand at the current time so if you are willing to wait on your project then I highly recommend their services.

We wanted to close a door to a small porch off the master bedroom and our contractor sealed it with drywall and tarp, but we needed a mason to match the brick and brick it in. Our house in Mt Lebanon is 96 years old and the brick is unique. I called Jim Dimarco and he came over that SAME DAY (!) to look at the house and the next day it wasn't freezing (they cannot mix cement needed for masonry if below freezing temps) his crew came over and finished the job. The brick he found was perfect and now you could never tell there ever had been a doorway originally - the work was that good. Plus he's a super nice guy - as was his crew. Could not be happier - would never use anyone else. Thanks Jim!
