Mario Grano & Sons LLC

These guys are the best! Hands down..... Benny will explain, in thorough detail, what the issues are and what every step they are taking during the construction. His crew is very punctual, on time every morning, and clean the work area every evening to make it safe to walk on or across while the cement cures. We needed our whole front porch replaced due to it sinking and separating from the house. We had them install a nice size patio and sidewalk, pitched away from house, to keep the ground water away from foundation. While they were at it, we had them redirect our gutter downspouts directly to the street. Will be calling them back for a driveway update soon.

Mario Grano & Sons has done work for me for over 20 years. Living in a house built in 1895 with add-ons through the 1930s pretty much guarantees some unpleasant surprises, and Ive come to rely on Mario Grano & Sons as an essential resource. Over the past 20 years, theyve done water proofing, foundation repair, retaining wall construction, slab construction, and most recently, replacement of a failed stormwater drainage system and masonry repairs. All of these projects had great outcomes. Projects completed 20 years ago still look new and are performing as designed. Mario Grano and Sons is a family business and is run by Marios sons, Ben and Gene. What sets the business apart from so many other contractors is their professionalism, knowledge, decades of experience, and perhaps most importantly, the ability to actually listen to their customer. The first thing youll notice is that your call will actually be answered or returned quickly. (This is not a guy with only a cell phone and truck type of business.) A professional office manager will take your details and set up an appointment for a site visit and estimate by either Ben or Gene. During the site visit, youll talk about options and costs in what will be a true conversation. Once the project is started, youll find the crews to be professional, courteous, and respectful of your property. When its complete, youll know you made the right decision. For our latest project, I had to replace a failed stormwater drainage system that was located largely under a deck with just a crawlspace to work in. Further complicating the project were the site topography and limited areas to run new piping to increase system capacity. Ben came out and we spent a lot of time looking at options - balancing them with my concerns for controlling costs and minimizing damage to landscaping. After a second walk through and some follow up discussions, we had our plan. Gene handled day to day issues once we began. When everyone arrived, I was pleasantly surprised to find out that the crew leader was same person who had worked on my house 20 years ago. They had three crews on site to kick start the project. Once the excavation began, we found unanticipated damage that required repairs. Gene evaluated things and after a clear explanation as to what he found, he made recommendations for repairs. We agreed on the additional scope and kept moving along. This was all done on the same day showing the value of having a contractor with decades of experience. The repairs were made the next day and the job continued. Despite heavy rains, an arctic cold wave, and the intervening holidays, the job was finished on time, the site actually looks better than when they began, and I no longer dread heavy rains. Once the crew left, I was sitting here thinking that while I would have preferred not to have had to do the work, I knew it did have to be done and was certain that Mario Grano & Sons were the right people to do it. Their knowledge, professionalism, and quality of work speaks for itself.

My mother and I had a great experience with Mario Grano & Sons. Ben was fantastic from day one. He is thorough, honest, patient, experienced and an all around good guy. My mother originally wanted her front and rear brick porch steps replaced, along with her patio. Due to his expertise, Ben gave us a quality solution that didn't require the replacement of the rear steps and would also cost less. He was also able to expedite the project and stayed in communication with us throughout the duration of the project. These guys were so respectful of my mother's property and worked so cleanly and carefully. I would 100% recommend Mario Grano & Sons.

I cannot say enough great things about Ben, Gene, and their guys. These guys are old school masons in every positive way. I have now hired them for multiple jobs and they always do impeccable work. You can see the years of experience these guys have under their belt. Ben has always tried to give us the fairest prices possible and does a really thorough job when assessing the details of what the job will entail. He's honest, transparent, and a true professional. Gene has always been present at the job, regardless of the size or extent of the work needed. He checked in with us multiple times while work was being done to keep us current on everything. If a rare surprise popped up, he communicated this immediately and worked to find the best way to address it while taking budget into account. Their workers always do an amazing job. They respect the work area and kept all of our personal items covered and clean until the job was done. Everything was left in prestine condition when they left. If you need concrete, improvements to your drainage around your home or foundation repair/waterproofing work done, definitely hire Mario Grano and Sons. You won't be disappointed!
