Tower Hill Masonry

Our fence blew down during the recent winds and we had to get a new fence up, I decided to incorporate a keystone block retaining wall as well. Brian and his team of guys did an amazing job. I didn’t have to worry about staying on top of them to make sure they would be showing up. They showed up on time every day. There is nothing worse then having to call multiple times to make sure the job gets finished.
It’s obvious Brian takes care of his employees and his employees make sure they produce quality work. His guys pay attention to detail and show a concern for the customer. I will definitely be recommending Tower Hill to all of my friends.

I left 2 messages and emailed but they never returned my calls or my email after 3 days.
Update: I finally received a reply after I posted this review review 4 days later. They said they are booked out for months.

Simply AMAZING! Tower hill just completed a retaining wall in my back yard and everything went beyond smooth. The job was not an easy one, we wanted to push back a large dirt hill in our back yard so we could gain more usable space and there was zero space for large machines to help. We had no idea our «dirt» hill was solid rock. Brian and his team took care of everything by hand and still got it done on time. This entire team was polite, on time (early), clean (yes clean). Dog friendly. You can tell they are all pros! I will never use a other company. I am already working on our next project. Even my husband is sold on them!
Thank you guys!

I contracted with Tower Hill on the basis of excellent Unilocal reviews and was very happy with the result. Brian and his crew were honest, talented, and easy to work with. They were happy to cooperate with a tight schedule, appeared promptly, and worked every day to complete the project ahead of time, including some unusual brickwork that required tolerance to within ¹⁄₈^th inch. No problem. And they left the site clean. Licensed, insured, everything you should check out before considering any contractor. Highly recommended.

I don’t typically write reviews, but the work done by Tower Hill was too good not to.
We had a large plain concrete slab around our pool that we had been meaning to put tile or stone on for years, but weren’t sure if it was worth the time and effort. Once we decide to move forward I researched various contractors and received estimates. Tower Hill’s estimate wasn’t the lowest and it wasn’t the highest, but the reviews were so good I decided to try them. Best decision we made. From the beginning til the end they were professional, creative, efficient, good follow through and a pleasure to work with. We thought we knew what we wanted and they worked with us and made improvements we hadn’t thought of. The project turned out so beautiful that our only regret is that we hadn’t done the job sooner.
Fantastic work!

My need: Front-​yard stucco wall, flagstone porch, flagstone median, masonry repairs.
My team: Brian, Jerry and others from Tower Hill Masonry.
My result: Timely, consistent, caring, craftsmanship at a reasonable price.
My advice: Hire these guys and fogetabowtit.
During three weeks in March, Brian and company: built a front-​yard wall to my specs, laid flagstone on my porch and median, and fixed some surprise masonry issues at my house. The work exceeded all my expectations and I’m a stickler for detail. For example, Brian recommended Autumn Gold flagstone for my porch, and after two weeks of reviewing other options, I decided to go with his choice. At the end of each day’s excavation and construction (all meeting San Diego city requirements), his team carefully cleaned up the mess so when my neighbors and I arrived home from work, the place always looked tidy. His team also found some minor cracks under my bay windows and repaired them quickly. His team also put in a new sprinkler system that provides drip irrigation to some plants and regular sprinklers for grass, Brian also took time to show me how to adjust the sprinkler system to get best results. I’ve hired many contractors over the years and this is the best service and work I’ve ever received. In a few weeks, Brian will be returning to my house to install some wooden gates I’ve purchased especially to go with the front-​yard wall his team installed. I’ll keep you posted, but honestly, I’m sure I’ll get a quality job.

If you need some masonry work done, Tower Hill is who you’re looking for! We had a seriously compromised retaining wall in our back yard (A concrete, mortared wall) that was cracked and severely leaning. We called Tower Hill and the guys promptly checked it out and gave us a good quote. When we agreed to the work, the crew knocked the 60 feet of wall down and had it cleaned up within two days. Overall, the work was done in a little over a week.
Outstanding work! I’ll definitely be calling on them again should we have any future masonry work.

Brian and his guys at Tower Hill are wonderful to work with. They are prompt, professional, and work to a high standard of quality.
I had multiple tasks for them to complete including new stucco, installation of an entry door, repair of a raised terrace made of retaining wall blocks & pavers, repair of an existing retaining wall, and a new one-​course wall at the edge of the property. I am happy with the standard of the work and the manner in which it was done.
What made the whole process go smoothly was the ease of communication between Brian and myself. He responds to questions via email or phone very promptly and communicates very clearly. Estimates and invoices are clearly laid out and itemized on their website.
We have more work to be done in the future and will certainly use this company again.

The guys from Tower Hill are who you wish every tradesman would be.
–The Job: Columns for a new, private entry door in the front of our home.
–Our Challenge: No idea how it was going to work, structurally, nor did we have confidence in its «look».
–Their strengths complimented our weaknesses, perfectly.
FIRST of all, Brian came with the vision. Used his lengthy experience in this trade to pin-​point exactly where the columns needed to be.
SECONDLY, made recommendations on the correct product to use based on the many variables the job required.
LAST, he had relationships in adjoining fields which he was able to introduce to me to finish the wood work required in the full scope of the job. I was introduced to people he had worked with successfully, and garnered a nice discount in the process!
THE INTANGIBLE:
*As is sometimes the case, after we agreed to a plan, we went and changed it on them. Rather than making us feel bad, or it being an issue, or, even changing the cost (despite the fact that it now meant the job was going to take longer) they just went with it in stride and make it happen. Looking back, that is what i appreciate about Brian and Tower Hill Masonry the most!
Skilled. Personable. Professional. = you cant go wrong.

Tower Hill just extended our patio and we were very happy with their work. Tower Hill stood out from the other bids we received for two reasons — they were really diligent about following up and they were willing to work with our budget. Brian made sure to stay in touch with us after submitting his bid and worked with us to get a patio we liked with the budget we had.
Once we signed the contract, Brian and Jim were able to fit our job in quickly, and completed the job in a few days. They are exactly who you want working on your project — efficient, hardworking and clearly take pride in their work. They’re also just really nice guys and were pleasant to have around.
As far as their work goes, they did a beautiful job on our patio. They matched the material and style of the existing patio perfectly and completed the job on time and within budget. They also came back and tweaked a few things at our request with the same efficiency and great attitude.
Overall, I’d highly recommend Tower Hill Masonry and would definitely work with them again.

Jim and Brian were great contractors to work with. They built some retaining walls and planters around my property with splitface block and capped it with some red brick. The place looks fabulous. They took my junky yard and turned it into something beautiful. Besides the work, they helped with the design and had drawings made for me before the project began, which was a huge help! Their price was good. My husband and I are very satisfied with the work they did.

Although it took about three weeks to get organized initially, everything after that went smoothly. Jim provided a detailed drawing, a detailed bid, and made sure to walk us through his plan. The finished retaining wall is absolutely perfect. It looks like it was built with our house back in the 60s. It integrates pefectly with what we already have, and the brickwork is beautiful. They even threw in a sidewalk fix for free to complete the look. The guys were completely patient with my inquisitive three year old, humoring him and his questions as they worked. Jim, Marvin and Juan are good guys that I trusted around my house and family, and the work is great to boot. Nice!

I had a retaining wall done in my backyard and I was on a budget… I shopped around and received 6 different quotes at least for the wall. The owner Jim was awesome and had I not been on a budget I would gladly give him more of my money. :-) He worked with my budget and my need and gave me the best deal I could have possibly gotten. He is a mason himself and worked on our job to make sure it was done in 2 days (as quoted) and that it would be good quality. He came with 2 other guys and they all worked VERY hard! They finished early and the wall looked fantastic. I saw photos of some of his other work too and it looked very nice as well, just wasn’t in my price range.
His work is fairly priced, he’s negotiable and a genuinely good guy. He cares about his work, the jobs he does, and quality and satisfaction are always number one priority! HIGHLY recommend Jim at Tower Hill Masonry for any type of walls or hardscaping projects.
