In the review it only allows you to choose 3 things you liked the most about this company which is unfair as their punctuality and responsiveness was just as excellent. This company led by James Dawson is as good as it gets with customer service and the quality of work that they produce. We are extremely happy with James and his team. My husband and I fell in love with his integrity, his love for his work which he highly takes pride in and also for his love of Christ and his family. We are looking forward to our next project with this company.

James with The Masonry Division was very responsive to my initial inquiry. He did a same-day, on-site assessment of the wall expansion project, and within a couple of hours, he sent me a proposal and cost estimate. He arrived at the agreed upon time to begin work, and he completed the job ahead of schedule. The quality of his work was nothing less than superb. I could not be more pleased. I am planning to hire him for a second wall expansion project. I highly recommend.

James and his crew were very good. They came in at 6 AM and started getting things ready for the concrete with expansion corners and rebar they did all the work and we’re done by 2 PM. I would definitely use them again and tell friends also.

The Masonry Division did an excellent job building us an L-shaped brick wall to hide our pool equipment. They knew exactly which brick to buy to match our existing yard fencing. Process was super smooth and efficient. Took less than a week from the time we reached out to complete the project. So happy we chose The Masonry Division!

James and his son did an amazing job on our block wall surrounding our large Palm Trees. Quick, efficient and reasonably priced!

I contact this company to have my patio slump stone wall raised from 5 feet to 6 feet. It was a small project, but the owner James Dawson was willing to tackle the job. Mr. Dawson knew exactly what materials I needed to achieve my goal. He identified the color of slump stone and mortar/gout. He measured the wall addition and calculated the cost. He explained what would happen and how he was going to complete the project. Once I signed the contract agreement, Mr. Dawson wasted no time in scheduling me in. The addition went quickly and smoothly and the wall addition was done to Palm Springs local building codes. The company was very professional and things went very smoothly. The mess was also cleaned up and the waste hauled away. My block wall addition looks great and matched closely with the older stones. I’m very satisfied in the workmanship and service his company provided.

Your search is over -- this is the crew to hire. We needed to expand on some pipe concrete work and they did an excellent job making things look seamless. The quality of work and price point couldn't be beat and we are very happy to have hired The Masonry Division.

I hired the Masonry Division to build a trash can storage enclosure for my property. James was very responsive and punctual. He completed the project ahead of schedule and it was achieved at the quoted cost. The work was high quality and super professional. Overall I am very pleased with the results, and the project came out better than imagined. I am already looking to hire him for a second project.

The Masonry Division was absolutely amazing. I couldn’t ask for a better company to complete my project. A++ work and professionalism. Always on time, always left the work area clean and just truly great guys. I would highly recommend this company.

This company was outstanding. Communication was a Plus for sure and the quality of the project was excellent. We loved that he was so so knowledgeable when questions were asked. I would highly recommend this company to anyone. I have added a couple photos.

My wife and I wanted a 50ft long retaining wall/garden bed in our backyard and chose James for the job. He along with James Jr. built us a beautiful; most importantly straight, wall. Not only were James and James Jr. fast, they were thorough and left the job-site (my backyard) spotless. There was a small miscommunication that resulted in an issue that was swiftly rectified by James. My wife and I are extremely grateful for the hard work these gentlemen provided. Huge thanks and appreciation for the veteran discount too!

Rachel S.Nov 2023

Would’ve chosen responsiveness + value too! James and crew were a dream to work with. He showed up on time less than a day after our first communication and was up here prepping the job promptly the next morning. They found time for our small project, and treated us as though we were their most important. The end result is exactly as we asked. Even better, James is the guy you could sit and talk to all day long. Positive, fun, and interesting. These are the folks you want to use and support. Hands down.

Very professional! They understood the assignment . Being a wheelchair user I needed a ramp built to get in my pool. I had a vision of what I wanted and the team brought it to life , they even added my initials to the cement 🥰 Totally Satisfied 🫶🏽

James and his crew(Junior and Chris) did great work Covered my columns with stone matching existing stone perfectly. Will use them again.

Stephanie s.Jun 2023

This team was amazing! Responded quickly- followed up- listened to request… gave options. The day they came out to do the work requested… they were on time- they worked hard and fast and efficiently! Very nice humans on to of their expertise. Would recommend to anyone needing cinder block- concrete or stucco work! They made our entire fence look brand new on top of doing what was requested! Thank you so much-

After being quoted estimates of thousands of dollars by landscapers to make concrete slabs on which to park my RV; on a whim, I contacted James and I knew right away during that conversation (even before he quoted me a wonderful price for my project) that he was an honest, hard-working, professional. He quoted me nearly three thousand dollars less than the unlicensed and uninsured landscapers I was considering, AND he’s Better Business Bureau certified! When I tell you that he showed up promptly at 7 a.m.; worked 12 hours straight the first day, then returned promptly at 7 am the next day and finished the job before 5. Moreover, James seamlessly figured out a way to circumvent an obstacle in his path without missing a beat, or sacrificing quality! All five boxes would be checked regarding what I looked most about working with The Masonry Division, but this site won’t allow it. YOU DON’T NEED TO GET ANYMORE ESTIMATES IF YOU’VE FOUND JAMES!

Brian Z.Oct 2022

Masonry Division was awesome to work with. James and his team did an amazing job from start to finish. Would highly recommend to anyone needing patio work.
