**★ — HU-707312853, Sept. 2022**

> Awful. Don't make the mistake. Multiple components of their work literally fell apart. The fireplace cracked multiple times. Once he got paid, he had no interest in owning the repair.  Avoid

**★★★★★ — Kirk Goltry, Jan. 2018**

> We had several paving needs which Gina and Brent coordinated for us. Our front porch and step needed repair and better engineering, and was finished perfectly with Rivenstone pavers. The old concrete walk-up was removed and replaced with a beautifully designed and curvaceous Brussels Block walk-up. The driveway was replaced with asphalt, and trimmed with Brussels Block banding. Additionally, a Brussels Block apron transitions smoothy into the garage. The curb was cut for a level entrance into the driveway. They also take care of all building permits. Our questions were answered in a timely manner, and the work quality was excellent. Overall, we are delighted with the results!

**★★★★★ — User, June 2017**

> JB Brickworks is a top notch professional hardscape company that does amazing work. Not only does the crew put in the extra effort to make sure that everything is done to perfection, but the owners listen to their customers. Gina and Brent provide great ideas, but they also they remain flexible throughout the entire project. As is always the case with complex projects, unforeseen complications, snags, hitches, or stumbling blocks present themselves. These guys were unflappable. They find the right solution to whatever comes up. They do not cut corners. They do the job right, and the results are stunning. This is our second major project with this company. The first was a paver brick driveway / walkway / porch, and now the second project is a stone patio (wood deck upgrade) / walkway / fire-pit, and grill built-in.  You expect these guys to be good at the stone work, but we were very pleased to see that they are also extremely competent at the ancillary work that is needed such as electrical, gas, and plumbing.  This project was supposed to be just a stone patio (wood deck upgrade), but as the work progressed, and it was so beautiful, we added a gas fire-pit, stone built-in grill, and paver brick sidewalk and secondary patio. We could not be happier.

**★★★★★ — Andrew Werdna, Jan. 2017**

> JB is awesome.  Did a great job on the hardscape of my remodeled place in the city.  Tackled the job quickly and professionally.  If the pharaohs had these guys around they could have easily made much bigger and more elaborate pyramids (probably not any cheaper though... tough to undercut slave wages).

**★★★★★ — Martin John Company, April 2013**

> J.B. Brickworks team of great sales people down to the men who install the projects are great at what they do.  Their attention to detail and the way the connect the inside to the outside is fantastic.  I highly recommend contacting them and discussing your next hardscape or masonry project and you will be happy once you do.

**★★★★★ — HX Home Solutions and North Star Stone, April 2013**

> JB Brickworks is an outstanding company to work with. Their attention to detail in their design and installation has to be some of the finest on the North Shore.
>
> For the last seven years we have used them as our masonry subcontractors for our stone veneer that we manufacture. Their crews are dedicated and true craftsman. When we finish a job, I always get compliments on the work from start to finish.
>
> They commit to a schedule and keep their promises and in the unlikely event a minor repair is needed, they go back and correct the problem.
>
> Customers should definitely consider hiring JB Brickworks for their masonry and hardscape needs.

**★★★★★ — jamhaus, March 2013**

> In 2009, JB Brickworks designed and built a paver side yard patio with a seat wall integrating a raised hearth fireplace at our residence. Additionally, this project included a newly designed paver front walk, paver front porch, and paver banded driveway. JB Brickworks’ design and attention to detail made a dramatic improvement to the front entry of our home, and the patio has become a focal point of our yard. The entire project has received many compliments and rave reviews from family, friends, and random neighbors.
>
> JB Brickworks has demonstrated extensive knowledge of designs and colors that mesh with existing materials. Their workmanship is superior in quality and dependability.  We highly recommend JB Brickworks for any paver project that you may have for your residence.

**★★★★★ — Ensign-Shaffer, Feb. 2013**

> We've contracted JB Brickworks to handle one job after another at our home, both outside and inside... we wouldn't even begin to consider anyone else!  Their work is impeccable, they're always on time, neat and orderly, never any issues over $'s and the value proposition is always outstanding.  Brent and his guys are the best; we trust them with the keys to our home...
