Constraction reviews in Durham, North Carolina

Jonathan did a great job! I was really pleased with how flexible he was with my schedule and easy to work with! Got the job done and left NO clean up! Definitely recommend!

No reply must be too busy

Very hard working people 👏

Probably the BEST stone work (patios, fireplaces, etc.) in the Triangle.
H.Glazer Builder, Inc.

Highly recommend! Very professional and friendly staff. Stress free project! Finished project and cleaned up site afterwards.

I had a custom outdoor project and these guys did an amazing job at a competitive price. Strongly recommend them!

Artoro came by and put in a retaining 60 ft wall. It only took 3 days.
He didn't just put in the wall, he dug down deeper and put the stone base,
Put full drainage and connected to a natural landscaped drain. Put in piping
and then put the stone. It was a very professional job. All the workers were
very courtious. He also put in a patio at a later date and the prices for both
were lower than all other estimates.

I HIGHLY recommend J&A Stone for any masonry or stone work job. We had a major crack in our concrete patio. Arthur provided a fair estimate for removal and a great design for the replacement. The work was completed promptly, they did not damage our yard in the process and the results are amazing! Our new concrete paver patio is easily one of my favorite areas of our home!!!

Can't recommend highly enough. I had a retaining wall and new patio put in. Arthur was very easy to work with, reasonable quote, met with me on several different occasions to go over the plans and pick out materials. Work was done on schedule. Even took the plants that had to be dug up, and replanted them in a nice arrangement. Work was done just a couple weeks ago and already have received tons of compliments on our backyard.

In short, Arthur and the J&A team are everything you hope they will be; honest, dependable, customer-oriented, hard-working, reasonably priced, and an expert at their trade.

We were planning to have a pool installed in our backyard, and wanted a great outdoor space (patio, outdoor kitchen, and firepit) to go along with it. We contacted Arthur at the very beginning of the process due to his great online reviews. Arthur responded almost immediately with an incredibly friendly and educational email letting us know we were not ready for his company yet, and even though there was no personal benefit to him, he took the time to lead us to the right people to help us get started. He recommended a great landscape designer, and we were off to the races.

Due to major backlogs with the pool company, it was 10 months later before we dug the pool, and a total of 12 months later before Arthur started the work on the patio.

Before work started, Arthur came in and walked us through every detail of the project; answering every question, pointing out concerns that we didn't realize we should have yet, and walking us through how he would address those potential issues & concerns.

His team started, and you could immediately see that every single team member took their job seriously and had the skills and expertise to do that job well. They were professional, courteous, and prompt. Anytime we saw any concern or issue, the team immediately addressed it without question. And at least 2-3 times per week, Arthur was onsite checking all the work, answering our questions, etc....

During the project, we had a number of issues with our other contractors (pool, electrical, and gas), and in every case, Arthur went above and beyond to help rectify the issue even if it had nothing to do with his team. He dug the trench and removed bushes which were unexpectedly needed for the gas line work. He would speak to the Town of Cary inspectors about other people's work and what was required. His words: "Our job is to make this perfect, and we can't do that if we don't ensure the other contractors are doing their job". The other contractors even went out of their way to tell me how great they were to work with.

There were also numerous delays that impacted his work (some supply chain, some completely my fault), and in each case, he was professional, understanding, and immediately worked with us to figure out how to mitigate the delay and help us complete our project on time. There was never one complaint.

In the end, Arthur and his team completed the project on time and on budget even with delays, supply chain issues, price changes, etc... that were outside their control. For part of the job, the materials literally doubled in price between his quote and starting work, and he still honored his quote.

It was the little things that truly set the team apart. They worked hard every day... no one sitting around... everyone had a job, knew how to do it, and worked hard to accomplish it. They cleaned up the entire site everyday. I saw them tear down their own work to redo portions they weren't pleased with. They repaired and put a swingset back up in the yard which I had taken down for the pool company. They leveled out the ground under our trampoline without being asked. They installed a new drain to address a drainage issue in a different part of the yard just because they saw it was an issue. The list goes on an on...

I don't give online reviews often, and I have a pretty high standard for what I expect. Arthur and his team exceeded every expectation. This company is everything that you hope they will be, and I can not recommend them highly enough.

I highly recommend Arthur and J&A Stonework for any masonry project. We recently had an outdoor patio done and all throughout the process Arthur did a fantastic job communicating timelines and budget. He made an excellent recommendation for the pavers that we used for the patio. In terms of the actual build, Arthur originally told us that it may take 2-3 days to complete but his crew actually finished in one day! Not only was the attention to detail terrific, but the crew did a nice job cleaning up when the job was finished and you would never know that they had even been onsite. We are extremely pleased with the end result and wouldn’t hesitate to use Arthur and J&A Stone work for any future projects!

We contacted J&A Stone Work in order to take care of three problems. Our flagstone porch had lost mortar over the years and was letting water through. Water from the downspouts in front of the house was not draining water away from the house properly. Both of these led to water getting under our house. In addition, our brick path had settled and buckled over time due to tree roots and moving soil. We contacted J&A and Arthur quickly made an appointment to come by and check the work. He answered all of our questions and sent us a quote shortly thereafter, including options for materials to use.

He arranged for his crew to do all the work in the span of a few days. His crew did a spectacular job in all aspects: Functionally, the water drains properly and our path is flat and even. And it all looks great. They cleaned and reused as many of our old bricks as they could to reduce waste, and they all look brand new. The trenches they dug to place drainage pipes were filled in and covered – you’d never know we just had work done. And they even replanted the bulbs they had to dig up during the course of the project. We knew our path would look better when they were done, but we didn’t know our yard would look better too! Our neighbors keep telling us how great everything looks and we’d recommend J&A Stone Work to anyone who needs work done. Arthur and his crew are extremely professional, knowledgeable and trustworthy.

I can't recommend J & A enough! The quality of their work was excellent, their communication was regular and thoughtful, and they got the job done in just one week!

Two large stone patios, stone paths, landscape lighting, plants, mulch, pine straw…they do everything. Even repaired multiple sections of our concrete driveway. Arthur, his family, and his crew were a pleasure to work with. They provided expert guidance and advice along the way. We are absolutely thrilled with the results.

Arthur and his crew are amazing!! J&A Stone Work did an awesome job on the tanning ledge for our in-ground pool. My wife and I were so impressed with their work we contacted them again a month later to complete a patio, fire pit and drainage project.. Arthur and his crew went ABOVE and BEYOND for us. J&A Stone Work are a pleasure to work with! If you are looking for professional service and workmanship contact J&A Stone Work! Arthur is the only person we will call for our upcoming projects!

Arthur and his highly professional trained team did an excellent job for my patio project. Arthur is really nice to work with , provided me all the required guidance , suggestions and answered all my questions. Arthur and his team was very dedicated to meet and exceed all my expectations. Their work craftsmanship is second to none with all precision, care and very fine detailing. Entire project was completed in just 4 days ! Very highly recommended J&Astonework !

Arthur, Ana, and their team did a fantastic job on my front stoop and walk. And they were incredibly efficient. When there was one part I wasn’t thrilled with, they fixed it quickly and beautifully. Strongly recommend.

Arthur and his team have completely transformed our property with a stone patio, steps, decking, lighting, as well as expanding our driveway/parking area. J&A performed exceptional work at a very reasonable cost. Each of the crew members were extremely professional, competent and organized. They also went above and beyond to make sure proper drainage was maintained. We were truly blessed to have J&A Stone Work do our project. They have my highest recommendation and I hope to work with them again in the future.

Absolutely amazing work! Our fireplace project turned out better than I ever originally imagined. I’ll use Arthur and team for every stone related job we do in the future.

Excellent group. They did a great job and were very respectful and responsive. They did amazing work and showed care and precision in every step along the way. I've already recommended them to others.

We are thrilled with our new brick steps and stone walkway! Arthur was a pleasure to work with and has a great eye for aesthetics and detail. His crew was very professional, fast, tidy and did highly professional work. We will definitely use J&A Stonework in the future and recommend them highly!
