DiBara Masonry - Glendale, California

Joyce Klein

From the initial contact with DiBara Masonry to the completion of my project, which involved obtaining the permits and demolishing and replacing my driveway apron and portions of the adjacent sidewalk, the service from the DiBara team was excellent.

Rene Flores, the company representative, worked very hard with the City of Los Angeles Inspectors to help me obtain the size of driveway apron that I needed with an adjacent sidewalk replacement that was within my budget. He explained everything very well and the contracts and pricing were very clear.

Edgar, the outstanding project manager maintained regular communication, explained the process thoroughly and answered all of my questions.

Leo, the site foreman, and the teams of workers were all amazing. There were hard working, very conscientious and efficient.
Their commitment to safety was impressive.

Everyone was pleasant, positive and took pride in their work. The finished concrete job was perfect and they left the work site clean.

The dumpster filled with the old concrete and the portapotty for the workers were promptly taken off site at the end of the project.

Due to the highly efficient organization of the teams, equipment and inspections the quality job was done much sooner than I had anticipated.

The office support staff were friendly, helpful and efficient in terms of the billing and collecting payment for the project.

Given the quality of the work from a licensed company with valid insurance and all that was involved in the project, in my opinion the price was excellent.

I highly recommend the DiBara Masonry company and appreciate the wonderful job they did.

Unfortunately I am unable to recommend DiBara Masonry to future customers. After initially reviewing our project with the owner Matt, we felt it would be best to use a masonry company to repair an exterior brick wall instead of standard painters to address some masonry issues. The project was initially estimated to take at least 2.5 weeks to complete, which was described as including intensive hand-scraping, re-pointing in all areas that needed it, brick replacement to chipped and damaged bricks, primer, and 2 coats of paint across 2 exterior walls.

Once the job started, they reported being finished after only 3 days which was very alarming. Upon inspecting the work with the team, it was obvious the job was not completed to the scope we had agreed to. They did return a few more times to do more hand-scraping, repointing, and replace some bricks in a specific sections that I pointed out with the crew, which is why I am giving this the additional 3rd star review.

The areas that they did return to address are holding up well, but after about a year since working with DiBara, the overall quality isn't holding up to what we expected, especially on sections of the wall that with just the original level of work. It's disappointing that they initially seemed to rush the job, and had to be chased to return to bring their work up to the scope we had agreed to. In the end, this isn't the quality of work we hoped to receive from DiBara Masonry, and have had better results with standard painters in the past.

I have had just bad experiences with contractors. Dibara Masonry was a pleasure to work with from the start. The communication from start to end was so clear and easy to follow. This is exactly what I look for in a company.

I had a tree root that was push up the driveway, steps and my deck. Dibara Masonry came out broke out the bad section of driveway. Got rid of the root and put everything back together. The team did a wonderful job. They were respectful of the property and did a great job of cleaning up when they were done. Will definitely use them again.

Thanks to Edgar and Renee.

Very, very happy with the work that the DiBara team did on our 112-year-old house. Francisco and Jesus were always on time, polite, respectful of our property, did great work, and left the area cleaner than it was when they arrived. Francisco did a walk-through with me every day to show me what they'd done, talk about next steps, and make sure that I was fully up to speed. We had both indoor and outdoor masonry work done, and in both cases they mixed up some little test batches to color match the new work to the old. After a couple of days of drying, it's hard to tell the difference even if you know where to look. Communication was great all the way through. The DiBara family has been in the masonry business for 5 generations, and you can tell that doing good work is a passion for them. Highly recommended.

We feel really lucky that we hired DiBara Masonry for our backyard concrete and flagstone work. From project management to the crews who did demo and poured the concrete, everyone was professional and conscientious. The experienced foreman for our project, John Curtis, was really great! We appreciated his suggestions and attention to detail - it was obvious he cared about the details, finishes and matching the colors of our existing stone. Our backyard looks beautiful and we have received lots of compliments on DiBara's workmanship.

What a thorough pleasure working on my second project with Di Bara Masonry. My new friend Jose rebuilt portions of two concrete pillars on my 75 year carport and did a beautiful job of it.
Di Bara rebuilt part of my 75 year old chimney a few years back and you cannot tell the old from the new.
They are professional, courteous and knowledgeable.
I will use them again!

Excellent work. I got multiple quotes for a job requiring about 3.5 yards of concrete work, and DiBara was the low bid. The work they did was extremely good, the crew (Edgar and Carlos coordinating, Eddie and others working) was professional and easy to get along with. They had some really good ideas along the way which I incorporated into the job. I will definitely use them again, and will recommend them to friends and family.

They did a great job putting in my cinderblock fence. They were on time, professional and go the job done in the time allotted. The price for the work was fair and very reasonable. I would recommend them and definitely use their services again.
