Douglas is simply the best. From the quality of his work to his professionalism, we absolutely loved working with him to transform a yard that couldn’t grow grass into a beautiful, organic stone patio. He was quick to communicate, always showed up on time and as expected, and made it so easy to talk through our ideas and envision what was possible. Most importantly, he cared about our project as if it were his own, and that really came through in the finished product. We couldn’t recommend him more highly! We’re already thinking about other projects he can help us with.

Reviews
My old outdoor/detached garage had a leak through the ceiling. I contacted multiple contractors. Doug was among them, came out to do inspect and provided a free estimate and quote. While the price was not the cheapest, he did provide a reasonable quote with a long term fix that I preferred. His work included removing all the existing vines and debris, scraping any loose tar, cleaning and pressure washing, sealing existing cracks and then finishing with a silicon coating. The ceiling looks great and it's holding up well. I was out of town through all this, but we communicated all through the Thumbtack messaging system and got this done over a few weeks (mostly waiting on materials to arrive). Everything seems great and he was very professional. I recommend him.
Douglas was absolutely fantastic- reliable, responsive and so hard working- showing up and working hard all day every day through the worst days of the awful heat wave and extreme humidity! He patiently took time to answer our many questions, explained a few options and was able to envision exactly what we wanted. He completed the work timely and at a better price than others who quoted the work. Our walk and house entrance, steps, porch and columns look great. We couldn’t more pleased! We highly recommend Douglas Abbondanzio.
Douglas responded immediately to my Thumbtack request, showed up on time for an estimate and to do the work and was reasonably priced. I highly recommend him.
Douglas did an excellent job redoing our front steps at a fair price. He is a true professional and highly recommend his services. Attached are before and after pictures.
Had a great experience with Douglas! Our concrete front stairs were battered by the hard winter ice and salt the last two years and we tried to "cheap out" by having the fix done first by our painter one year; and when that failed, a general handyman the next. What a difference to work with Douglas on a fix that hopefully will last for many years. He really is a Master stone mason!
Professional, good quality work with upfront quotes. Decided on the start date and was done within a couple of weeks.
We couldn't ask for a better person to do the job. He was extremely easy to talk to and explained everything in full detail. Doug had a wonderful personality and made working with him a pleasure. He did a beautiful job and it was perfect. We would highly recommend him and look forward to working with him again. Kathleen Bullock
Doug was professional, experienced and did a great job for me. Good price for my job!
Douglas was quick to respond to my request, came by to evaluate the project and talk with me about it. We decided on a plan, but when it was out of my budget, Douglas worked with me to find a solution that would work. He is a skilled mason, who knows foundations, stonework materials and is extremely professional. He is punctual and extremely clean in his work style. Our foundation repair was visually and structurally (more importantly) satisfactory. I would definitely use him again. Thanks Douglas!
Very happy with the results. I had a section of wall that needed patching and he got it done in a few hours with no issues.
Douglas recently completed some concrete repair work for us, and the experience was excellent. He took the time to listen to our input and provided thoughtful recommendations on the best approach. The quality of his work was outstanding, with great attention to detail throughout the entire process. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for reliable and skilled concrete work.
Douglas was great to work with! Great communication, worked quickly. He repaired a couple crumbling sections at the top of our field stone foundation as well as filled holes around the walls.
We had a great experience using Douglas for two different concrete repair projects which included the house front steps and the garage. He explained the various options upfront and the details of each repair. The repairs were completed in a timely manner and he kept us informed throughout the process. He’s a true professional and we were very pleased with the quality of his work.
Doug did a great job our front porch & walkway never looked better. We appreciate his professionalism throughout the project. I would highly recommend him. Thanks
Douglas was great. He is very respectful and a very easy-going guy. He helped me pour a slab for my shed, and it came out great. Couldn’t be happier. Thanks, Douglas!
We had our front entry steps repaired and bricks repointed, and the work was excellent. The mason was professional, friendly, and thorough. Great value for the effort, and he left everything spotless. Highly recommend! Thank you Douglas.
Douglas solved my basement flooding issue with a creative and cheap workaround - building a long gutter extension. It’s not the most pretty looking thing but it works! I got cited thousands of dollars by other companies for full waterproofing (French drain etc) but I didn’t need it in this case. I paid $600 and happy to report I didn’t have a flooding since. Thank you!
I love his work, really professional and patient
Doug took time to help me figure out how we wanted to tackle our basement water issues. Able to fit us in his schedule and did an excellent job.
