 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. John and crew did a great job pouring a concrete walkway and restoring some concrete steps. John was easy to work with and offered some suggestions to meet my needs. He was able to begin the job earlier than expected which was greatly appreciated. I'd highly recommend A-Z Construction & Restoration.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. John did a great job re-pointing out 100 year old brick house.  He also rebuilt the upper section of the chimney.  And last but not least they did a wonderful job repairing the collapsing cellar window wells.  I highly recommend them.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My home was built in 1940 and has a stone chimney.  I called A-Z Construction & Restoration when noticed some mortar missing. John and his crew repaired the missing mortar and fixed the cracks in the chimney cap. They also repointed the stone work around my house. I am very pleased with the work they did . I am sure the repairs saved my home from much more serious damage and It was completed fast and at a reasonable price.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I hired John Schinto of A-Z Construction after he was highly recommended to me by 2 of my neighbors who raved about his work. My back concrete steps leading to my yard were severely chipped and deteriorated which I thought were beyond repair. John resurfaced them with brick pavers and concrete in a classic design which actually matched my front walkway exactly. The steps actually look new. I’m so very pleased with his workmanship, price and friendly manner and highly recommend him for all your home stone, brick and concrete projects. True quality craftsmanship!!!!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. John along with his son & crew did a great job on my chimney rebuild. It was  badly deteriorated as the house was built in 1900. Immediately following their work I had a total roof replacement by another company. When they came back to put a cap on the chimney, they were very careful as to not damage the new shingles. Very reasonable pricing, very professional &  nice guys to work with. Would highly recommend! Chester Gural

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I needed to get some concrete stairs at my house repaired. I asked a couple of my friends if they knew anyone and both of them recommended A-to-Z construction and restoration. So I decided to give them a try. What a great job they did. Beyond my expectations, everything was clean and taken care of when they left. I got a lot of compliments on how well they looked. So when I needed some more work done there was only one call to make… A-to-Z Construction

FAQ: HIRING A MASONRY CONTRACTOR IN SYRACUSE

What does a masonry contractor do?

A masonry contractor builds, repairs, and restores structures made of brick, block, stone, and concrete. In Syracuse, the most common masonry work includes chimney repair and rebuilds, foundation crack repair, retaining walls, steps and hardscapes, stucco repair, and fireplace restoration. A licensed masonry contractor handles the structural integrity of these elements, not just cosmetic patching. A-Z Construction has provided full-service structural masonry to Onondaga County homeowners and commercial properties since 1986.

How much does masonry work cost in Syracuse, NY?

Masonry repair costs in Syracuse vary widely by service type. Minor repairs like chimney crown patching start around $250. Tuckpointing a full chimney runs $400 to $1,200. Foundation crack repair typically ranges from $300 to $2,500 depending on severity and wall material. Full chimney rebuilds can reach $15,000 or more. Retaining walls, patios, and hardscape projects are quoted on a project basis. Every A-Z job starts with a free on-site assessment and a written, itemized estimate before any work begins.

Do you do commercial masonry work in Syracuse?

Yes. A-Z Construction serves property management companies, HOAs, multi-unit residential buildings, municipalities, and institutional properties throughout Onondaga County. Commercial projects include chimney and facade repair, exterior brick restoration, retaining walls, concrete work, and scheduled maintenance contracts. The same owner oversight that applies to residential work applies to every commercial job. No subcontractors, no handoffs.

How do I know if I need a masonry contractor or a specialty contractor?

If the problem involves brick, block, stone, or concrete – cracking, spalling, deterioration, or water infiltration – that is a masonry contractor’s work. If a foundation is actively shifting or requires engineered underpinning or pier systems, that is a structural specialty contractor. If a chimney needs sweeping or cleaning, that is a certified chimney sweep. A-Z Construction will tell you honestly which category your project falls into at the free on-site assessment, with no obligation to proceed.

Are you licensed to work on pre-1978 homes in New York State?

Yes. A-Z Construction is an EPA Lead-Safe Certified firm, which is required for renovation, repair, and painting work on pre-1978 homes and buildings where lead paint may be present. This certification is particularly relevant for older Syracuse properties and historic homes throughout Onondaga County. Documentation is available on request.
