Tuck pointing

Very happy with the work from Otto's crew. They repaired the brick on my 100 year old home. I would not hesitate to recommend Ottos Masonry to anyone looking for value and quality

stone work

I had 2 jobs dealing with the exterior of my home, one to brick in a wall and the other rebuilding a retaining wall around an existing flower bed.
Otto gave me a fair quote and reasonable timeline for starting and completion. I was very happy with the end result and how much Bradley cared about his work (something I find to be rare these days). I will definitely hire them again for any future stone or brick work.

Driveway retaining wall rebuild/repair

Hired Otto's (based on a recommendation from a colleague who is a GC) to repair retaining walls on both sides of a downward sloping driveway, which were buckling and cracking. The guy who did the estimating was friendly, responsive and described what would be needed. The work start date happened within a week of what was estimated. The work took a few days longer than anticipated due to weather, but any delays, or days when workers would not be able to show up were communicated immediately, so there was never any guessing or wondering where people were. The quality of work was great and the cleanup efforts were thorough. Would definitely recommend this company.

Stone sill replacement

After the ice storm I needed some repair on the concrete stairs and Otto's was called in to do some patchwork on it and I was pleased with the job.
When the old re-bar enforced concrete sill under the Bay window started to crumble, I called Otto's for an estimate. Not only did they remove the old concrete, they replaced it with a beautiful Indiana limestone.
It took a little time to get the job started but, once they did, it was swift in execution and on budget. Looks better than new.

Front porch slab and brick replacement

We had a leaky basement and noticed it was coming from the porch. Brian came to give us an estimate and determined that our porch was sloped towards the house causing rainwater to sit and deteriorate the bricks. He provided the best solution for us, repour the top slab and replace a few rows of bricks. Otto found matching bricks for our 1950s home and his crew did a beautiful job of replacing the bricks. During the demolition, the porch turned out to be hollow and extra steps were taken to prepare the site for the concrete pour. Although there were additional charges, they were reasonable and everything still came under other quotes we received. The porch now looks great and we no longer have water leaks. We highly recommend Otto's Masonry for their attention to detail, quality of work, and professionalism.

masonry, front steps and pillars

Otto Masonry fixed my front concrete steps and rebuilt two decorative brick and cement pillars. They gave a fair quote, did a very good job, were on time, respectful, and cleanly. I would use them again or recommend them to others.

Stone Retaining wall

Second time we have worked with Otto and again we are overly pleased. Not only does he offer competitive prices he is one of the few honest, reliable, trustworthy contractors out there. We would always now use them for anything brick or stone related. He had a good team and was there to double check the work. They put in a 43 X 2 foot high Unilock retaining wall in 2 days. Thanks again Otto.

Garage parging

I'm completely satisfied with the parging that was done on the walls of my garage. Otto is very knowledgeable and dependable and he gave me a very reasonable and competitive quote. The work was expertly done by his assistant and the site was cleaned up afterwards.

sidewalk replacement

Otto's Masonry did a great job replacing our sidewalk. They completed the project as quoted and earlier than expected. The job site was completed cleaned of any work materials. We have asked them to quote on other projects as we were very satisfied with their first project.
