I am delighted to provide the highest recommendation for Otto Masonry. We engaged them for an extensive rebuild of our large stone front porch and stairway. Every team member I dealt with was helpful, professional and very experienced. Brian, the estimator, was patient and thorough in gauging the scope of our work. Marie Jo at the office was charming. Joseph and John completed the masonry and were absolute perfectionists. And they are so nice! As the work progressed, Joseph and John suggested refinements to our plan in many small ways, which I gratefully accepted. The quality and look of the outcome exceeded my expectations. Because this was a big investment, I got 5 quotes at the outset and Otto Masonry was in mid-range of these. Of these, Otto Masonry stood out as the most quality oriented, thorough and professional (and nice!).

We hired Mike Bean and his crew to complete a renovation on the upstairs of our home. In brief, we were converting our 2-bedroom home into a 3-bedroom. This involved fully gutting our huge master bathroom, which then was divided. One half became a smaller master bathroom and the other half became the third bedroom. Our master bedroom was reconfigured to include huge closets and a more private space for our bed. By the end of the reno, almost our entire top floor was redesigned. I am overjoyed with the result. The master bedroom is gorgeous. The master bath somehow looks bigger than pre-reno. The third bedroom functions as an office space, which is private and perfect. I had interviewed four contractors before hiring Mike’s firm. Mike’s quote was very close to the competition’s. It is his character that set him apart and prompted us to hire him. What I appreciated on first impression is Mike’s genuine interest in providing service and value. He had lots of ideas and was polite and helpful from the first meeting. Our first impression was reinforced through the months he and his crew worked on our home. Mike and Matt and every member of the crew could not have been more helpful, detail-oriented, cheerful, tidy and easy to have around. Mike is a perfectionist and the results show in the beautiful result. Thank you to you and your team, Mike. Marilyn Osborne
