What customers say

5.0 83 reviews on Yelp

Edwin provided honest, straight forward advice and solutions and promptly emailed me an estimate and plans for exactly what I was looking for. […] Edwin handled all the city permitting to deal with the sidewalk demo for us and generally kept us very well informed throughout the entire project.

Zachary M.Glendale · January 2026 · Yelp

We got other bids on the project but none compared to the honest, straightforward communication we got with Eddie. […] Don't hesitate to have Monroe Masonry do your job. Your only problem might be that he'll be too booked with work when you call.

Kelly V.June 2026 · Yelp

From start to finish of our major retaining wall project, Edwin, Manuel and the entire Monroe Masonry Team we're absolutely incredible to work with. […] they created the scape for our backyard on a giant downhill slope. They moved quickly to get the entire project done well faster than initially outlined.
