James and crew did an amazing job restoring our brick and concrete front porch. They were professional, knowledgeable, and responsive. The quality workmanship and experience was worth it. We will be calling them for future chimney work.

Custom Brick and Stone did a great job of repairing a stone wall with our 110 year old house. Very professional, detail orientated, thorough, and highly skilled in their trade. They knocked a difficult job out of the park for us. From start to finish, it is easy to see that James and John take a great amount of pride in their work.

I live in Keokuk, IA and own a home with an old stone foundation (1868) that was in need of some serious attention. The family owned and operated crew at Custom Brick & Stone are both extremely knowledgeable and professional in their trade. These guys pay specific attention to every detail, even making sure my gate was closed every time they went in and out so my dog wouldn't get out. They went above and beyond to ensure that I was informed throughout the project and after completion, pleased with the outcome. I highly recommend these guys for any masonry projects that you may need!
