Homeowners who have hired Father & Son Masonry often describe their work as honest, reliable, and skilled. It shows in historic, Frank Lloyd Wright-inspired homes with well-built retaining walls, back patios, and more.   

As a CR-31 license holder issued by the Arizona Registrar of Contractors, the team is also formally qualified to work on commercial projects. And they bring the same quality craftsmanship to business properties that require structural masonry.

Other common factors in these services are long-term durability—be it brick, block, stone, or concrete—and clean, organized job sites since 1994. 

Because they manage the full process—from permits and inspections to scheduling and completion—many clients end up returning for future work. However, occasional delays in applications or quote responses still occur. 

On the upside, their BBB (Better Business Bureau) accreditation and A+ rating reassured us of a fair, transparent approach. This includes clear pricing and flexible terms, such as incremental installments instead of a large upfront down payment. 

The wall is straight, solid, and well-finished, and the site was left clean  

“Custom Residential Retaining Wall. Father & Son Masonry, Inc. built a block retaining wall on our property, and it turned out better than we expected. The wall is straight, solid, and well-finished, and the site was left clean every day. They were professional, responsive, and clearly experienced with structural block work. If you’re looking for quality masonry construction, this company delivers.”

They coordinated well with other trades and kept the schedule on track  

“As a general contractor, I hired Father & Son Masonry, Inc. for structural masonry and concrete work on a commercial project, and they delivered exactly what you want from a specialty contractor. They understood the plans, followed specifications, coordinated well with other trades, and kept the schedule on track. The quality of the block and concrete work was solid, inspections passed without issues, and there were no callbacks. Communication was clear, pricing was fair, and the job was handled professionally from start to finish. I would confidently recommend Father & Son Masonry, Inc. to any GC or business owner looking for reliable structural masonry and concrete work.”

A family-run team of masons spanning three generations and over 40 years, New Era Masonry made a strong first impression in experience. We found that it serves both residential and commercial properties.

What clients consistently note is the balance between aesthetic appeal and lasting quality. Using trusted brands like Telluride Natural Stone and Pioneer, the results are said to be worthy of an architectural magazine. 

For instance, the team matched a concrete block wall with the home’s modern architecture and transformed reclaimed bricks into a sculptural privacy wall. 

Professionalism and attention to detail, meanwhile, are particularly praised by a property manager, who relies on New Era for masonry, stucco, and repair projects. Add to that proactive communication and an efficient crew.

Through site prep, demolition, and concrete pours, up until timely completion and tuck pointing as ongoing care, they operate as a licensed and BBB-accredited company.  

The only drawback is the tendency to exceed agreed timelines and budgets. 

The finished product matched the modern architecture of our home

“We hired New Era Masonry for a CMU wall project at our home in Paradise Valley, and we couldn’t be more impressed. From the start, they were professional, responsive, and extremely detail-oriented. The wall was built above our pool area and needed to be clean, level, and structurally sound — and they absolutely delivered. Their crew worked efficiently, kept the job site clean, and took great care in making sure the finished product matched the modern architecture of our home. The wall is now fully prepped and ready for the final tile veneer finish. We’ve worked with a lot of trades over the years, and New Era Masonry is truly a step above. Highly recommend them for any high-end masonry work.”

I will continue using New Era Masonry for all of our masonry needs  

“New Era Masonry is hands-down the best masonry and repair contractor we work with. As a property manager, I deal with a lot of vendors — and I can confidently say New Era Masonry is on an entirely different level. We hire them for all of our commercial masonry, stucco, concrete, and exterior repair projects because their professionalism and attention to detail are unmatched. Jose and his team have an incredible eye for detail. They don’t just complete the work — they deliver above-and-beyond results every single time. Their communication is consistent, clear, and proactive. From start to finish, they keep the job site clean, organized, and safe, which makes a huge difference for our operations. It’s rare to find a company that truly cares about the property as much as the client does, but New Era Masonry does exactly that. They show up, they solve problems, and they take pride in their craft. I will continue using New Era Masonry for all of our masonry, stucco, concrete, and general repair needs. Highly recommend to any commercial property owner or manager looking for reliability and top-tier workmanship.”

Many clients we have spoken to—and reviews we have read—say they would use Richard Construction Masonry again. Much of the feedback points to the crew’s well-structured workflow across residential and commercial sites. 

The process starts with an initial consultation or a detailed estimate covering costs, scope, materials, and timeline. This is scheduled after you fill out the website form and submit photos of the project area. 

While these meetings generally showcase owner Richard’s knowledge, there have been some unexplained no-shows. Fortunately, his team stays in contact during scheduling and preparation, providing prompt responses to questions. 

Then, in the execution of the main work—block walls, slabs, and walkways, to name a few—they apply over 15 years of experience to deliver timely and art-like results. 

What’s more, homeowners vouch for the fair pricing and clean working environments. They also appreciate that services extend to drywall repairs and custom builds, all using the same Arizona-tough bricks and stucco systems. 

Quick to respond, and their work is beautiful and reasonably priced 

“These guys are the best in town! Very professional, quick to respond and their work is beautiful and reasonably priced. I called them to raise the height of two block walls. Richard came out for a free consult and was super professional.  They went above and beyond, turned the once-ugly cracked walls into works of art, and I’m beyond happy with their work. I’d call them any time again.”

I would use them again and again—so happy with our new wall  

“Choose this company!! They did such an amazing job at our home. We needed a 70+ft back wall against a canal to replace a wooden fence that was falling apart. They were communicative and so nice. They got it done in 2 days and it looks great! They were so organized and made no mess. The pricing was very fair compared to others and they even patched holes in our side walls and leveled out the dirt in front of it. Also, side note, we have a pet pig and they were so helpful with keeping her safe while the fence was down!! I would use them again and again, we are so happy with our new wall!”

Tera’s Masonry has completed more than a hundred projects, most of which are residential. These include perimeter and retaining block walls that showcase strong structural workmanship. 

Using established masonry brands such as Sakrete, Spec Mix, and Marshalltown, the company also specializes in decorative masonry. Highlights for us in this area are custom-designed patio installations, walkways, and metal gates. 

In one example, a homeowner particularly liked how their new patio blends traditional and modern aesthetics. 

Such feedback stems from client-focused design consultations, which come before construction, where the team’s flexible scheduling often proves helpful. 

Speaking of the team, it’s worth noting that they bring over 20 years of combined experience. Led by second-generation mason Jose Rodriguez, they come licensed through the Arizona Registrar of Contractors (ROC).

Quotes are described as competitive, as well, but some projects have had occasional unexpected add-ons. On the upside, their responsiveness and clean, timely work make up for it. 

Had them revamp my patio—it’s like stepping into a Tuscan courtyard

“Tera’s Masonry LLC isn’t just laying bricks; they’re crafting legacies in stone. I recently had them revamp my patio, and it’s like stepping into a Tuscan courtyard every time I walk outside. The team’s attention to detail is impeccable, from the perfectly aligned stones to the artistic flair in their custom designs. What sets Tera’s apart is their blend of old-world craftsmanship with modern techniques. They don’t just follow blueprints; they bring a vision to life, ensuring every project reflects the client’s personality and style. Plus, their commitment to using sustainable materials means your investment is not only beautiful but also environmentally responsible. Tera’s Masonry LLC is more than a construction company. It’s a team of artisans dedicated to creating timeless beauty. If you’re looking to elevate your space with quality stonework, look no further. They’re the real deal.”

Did an outstanding job on the block retention wall at my personal home  

“Tera Masonry did an outstanding job on the block retention wall at my personal home. The quality of their work exceeded my expectations — precise, clean, and built to last. Jose, the owner, was professional, reliable, and made the entire process smooth from start to finish. I highly recommend Tera Masonry for anyone looking for top-notch masonry work.”

Sanctuary at Desert Ridge and North Phoenix’s Sky Crossing are two of Sargon Masonry Construction’s works that first caught our attention. 

That’s because the retaining walls, entry monuments, and stone veneer in these communities demonstrate their expertise in masonry, steel, and stone work. The same applies to their residential projects, continuing to attract more homeowners. 

What clients appreciate most about the crew is that they complete work on schedule, on budget, and use durable, desert-suited materials. It’s no surprise, then, that some property developers have worked with them multiple times.

From the design stage through installation and maintenance, the team remains informative and responsive. However, coordination has been an issue, with on-site leadership noted as lacking clear direction at times. 

It helps that they hold memberships in the Arizona Masonry Contractors Association and the Home Builders Association of Central Arizona. This means they stay on top of training, building codes, and industry standards. 

We have worked with Sargon on several projects and find them to be reliable

“We have worked with Sargon on several projects and find them to be reliable, punctual and easy to work with. We have a few big projects coming up that we will be using them for as well! Definitely recommend them!”

They stayed on schedule, and the work was impeccable  

“We used Sargon Masonry for all of the wall work on our project. We were kept involved in the process through their Job Superintendent. We knew start dates and completion dates prior to the project. They stayed on schedule and the work was impeccable! The job site stayed clean during and after the project. We really appreciate a good contractor!”
