Dicarlo Stoneworks

Carlo did a fantastic work! For starter, he was always punctual to return my calls, make an appointment to understand the work, and draw a contract to ensure no misunderstanding. He then proceeded to meet his obligations, arriving on time to complete the work. He went above and beyond by applying additional water proofing at no extra charge, on his own initiative. He kept the working area clean, and completed the work on time and budget.

I will strongly recommend Carlo for all masonry work. Simply a delightful professional.

Carlo of Dicarlo Stoneworks did an incredible job on our stone fireplace in our new condo. He showed us many different options for stone and designs we could choose from and the end result was spot on. He was patient with us and very professional even though we were somewhat indecisive and skeptical at the beginning. Both my husband and I would recommend Dicarlo Stoneworks to anyone who needs any natural stonework done.

Updated: October 2012: Carlo finally got back to us (after 14 months of calling) and came over to review the required minor "fix-ups"; although he maintained that the problem was with the underlying masonry and not his repair work, he repaired the parging and cut in expansion grooves to prevent future cracking. The job has now been completed satisfactorily.

If you do deal with this company, ensure that the written contact spells out clearly, and in detail what work is expected to be done, what problems will be fixed, what guarantees are applicable and what response times for any required follow-ups will be provided. Spell out detailed financial penalties for not meeting any of these commitments. Carlo's initial work is good but his attention to providing follow up contact and services needs work.

Initial review August 2012: Avoid this company at all costs. Once they have your money, you will never see them again despite impressive looking written warranties in contracts. Should follow up work be required, it will not be done. Phone calls are rarely answered and phone messages are not responded to. If you do get to talk to someone, excuses for missed commitments will be given and new promises will be made, only to go unfulfilled.

He came and first gave a competitive estimate. Once we accepted, he came back and replaced cracked bricks. He did such a good job that you can't even tell the old bricks with the new bricks on a 30+ year house.

Thank you so much for the outstanding work you did on our front porch! From the quality of work, to product, to service - everything was just perfect. The job got done on time with no obstacles or delays and the friendly helpful service was an added bonus to the beautiful work. Our natural stone path in the front yard gets constant complements and we recommend Dicarlo Stoneworks to all our friends and family. We are already thinking of using them again for more work in our backyard!

Carlos did exceptional stone work in my backyard-;- stone walls, outdoor fish pond/waterfall, patio and the highlight 'a 16 foot outdoor fireplace'- I have yet to see a home/project anywhere in the city that has this quality of workmanship-our place is set to be reviewed in House and Home magazine. Carlos brings fresh new ideas and his work is done to 'perfection'!!! I have recommended Carlos to virtually everyone I know. Outstanding workmanship at a great price!!!!
