We found Custom Stone Builders through our landscape architect, Stephen Bagley of Studio-B Designworks. We had a plan to renovate our front walkway, circa 1920, and add a terrace to capture our ocean view in Rockport. CSB selected stone from local quarries and worked as a team for months to complete this complex project. They were flexible as we asked for a number of small changes (water spigot, electric outlet, additional stairs to a garden...). They helped other contractors (cement, blasting ledge, landscape) without being asked. They cleaned the yard up every day after work. In the end the project outcome was stunning. Meticulous in detail and creativity. I am now building a garage and every contractor on that project has commented on the beauty of the stone work. I could not be happier.

"Finding Michael was the best thing to happen to us and our project. We wanted solid granite steps going up to our front door. Everyone we contacted either didn't want to do the work or couldn't do the work so we were very, very happy to meet Michael. He did exactly what we wanted and the job looks perfect. He was on the job site every day and finished early too. We couldn't recommend him enough!"

I am in the speciality stone business and am a supplier of hard to find stone to CSB. I have an opportunity to see the work of many masons around the country and it is easy for me to say that I have not met a better stone mason. Mike's work and attention to detail is unsurpassed. What Mike and his team can do with a raw piece of stone is truly amazing. You will not be disappointed having CSB handle your custom masonry project.
