Stone Masonry Contractors in Santa Monica

“Our experience was simply GREAT! Matt DiBara and his crew were utmost reliable, punctual, very professional, and above all very friendly! Their commitment to the project, while working in the adverse weather conditions, was superb! Great prompt communication via email and by phone. My family and I could not recommend this company enough! Will definitely do business again!”

“From start to finish, on time and the crew nice and hard working, Very professional from start to finish. A good experience.”

“Jim Roberts was our contact with Black Diamond for our project which consisted of (1)replacing a poured concrete front walkway that had two steps with pavers on an incline with no steps (this avoids people tripping on the steps at night) ; (2) creating a parking space next to the driveway with pavers; and (3) creating extra patio space using pavers around the back yard pool out of a grass area. Jim provided a nice presentation and competitive estimate and provided valuable creative input that steered us towards good choices of pavers and a great outcome. I was very nervous about the second part of the project (see above) because virtually all of our house utilities (gas, electric, telephone, cable, water line and drain line) all were directly through the area to be paved. Also, two massive tree root systems running through the area had to be hand removed due to being directly over the utilities. Jim and Black Diamond served up a truly outstanding crew that pulled it off without cutting any of the utility lines. Jim had good follow through and represented his company professionally and he would be our first call should we need paver services again. In summary, this was one of our best ever contracting outcomes and give due credit to Jim for that result. Chuck Clark”

“We contracted Swan General to build an extension for our backyard fence including replacement of a broken picket fence and gate. The work they did exceeded our expectations! Abe suggested numerous options across a range of price-points to compliment the look of our Tudor style home. We chose an arched arbor gate which SG built custom. They worked efficiently, kept the worksite clean throughout, and came within our budget and timeline. We couldn’t be happier with our new fence, and charm it adds to our home!”

“Highly recommend! They did a big roof job for us before and they did a fantastic job, so when I needed a trusted contractor we hired them to build our dream house and we were very pleased with how smooth the process went. They are extremely knowledgeable and reliable professionals. I know when they are on the job site the job is getting done right! They are effective, adaptable and are great with communication. The leadership skills to manage a team made the project absolute success!”

“We had our carpad extended to the driveway with pavers and a retaining wall in front of our guest cottage. A beautiful job for both projects. The extention of the carpad beautifully matched - can't tell where the new work is added. The front retaining wall blends with the wall in front of the main house. Work was done quickly, efficiently and beautifully. Kobi Dan from Treeium Outdoor Living and his crew are easy to work with and do a great job.”

“Greg Dodd and his team did a wonderful job with our fireplace! His team turned a very plain fireplace in the middle of our great room into a show piece the minute guests enter our home! We will definitely be using his team again for future projects! Professional and very reliable!”

“I had a great experience working with Martín and his son Martin! Both of them made the construction process very easy and I and extremely happy with the stone work that was installed at my home. I first got an estimate for the work from Martin Jr. He helped me with the design process and helped me select a stone for my home. He brought to my home over 5 samples of flagstone and ledgerstone from Resource Building Materials. Once I chose the stone, Martin Sr (Owner of Pacificland) came over with his crew and installed the beautiful stone work himself. The job came out great and I am glad I chose them for my remodeling project.”

“Master Masonry Concrete Construction went above and beyond to make my renovation dreams come true. James, the owner is great at communicating and executing the desired finished look and aesthetic that I wished to achieve. I am so grateful to have had a great experience with this renovation. I would definitely hire these guys again. It's hard to find people you can trust in the construction business and James always had a reasonable price and his guys always executed with quality materials and experience.”

“Jeramie (the owner) & Jose (the job foreman) are absolutely now & forever on my list of favorite subcontractors. If only every worker who came to my house were so fabulous my life would be so much better... I hired Jeramie because I was super impressed by the artistry of his work for Judy Kameon, the celebrity garden designer, at a number of her sites. I don't see a lot of concrete walls that I would call beautiful, but as it turns out, a lot of the walls around Los Angeles that are Pinterest-worthy, are actually his work! In addition to building a 5 foot retaining wall at the back of my property that would keep the hillside behind my house from falling down on me, Jeramie also rebuilt the damaged front porch of my 100 year old bungalow to period-specific perfection. These two jobs sound simple, but the engineering required for my hillside property, was crazy-making. With concrete work, there's no easy or cheap fix if you screw up. You pretty much have to scrap everything & start over from scratch if a city inspector doesn't like the work. When it comes to the human labor element of concrete work you really do get what you pay for. No, Jeramie is not cheap. However, his expertise saved me--at minimum--$5000 because I did not have to get a soil report or testing for my job. Also, I did not have to install a hideous $3000 swale across my backyard to divert water to the street because of his superior knowledge of LA's new Green Building Codes. Jeramie is worth paying for.”
