Are We the Right Fit?
Choosing a contractor for your home is a big decision.
Especially when the work will become a permanent part of your property.
Are We The Right Contractor For Your Project?
This page exists for one simple reason:
to help you decide if Kelly Masonry is the right partner for your project.
We want homeowners to understand how we work, what types of projects we take on, and what kind of experience you can expect before you ever schedule a consultation.
If you read through this page and find yourself thinking, “Yes, this is exactly what we’re looking for,” there’s a very good chance we’ll be a great fit.
Why Clients Choose Us
Most homeowners who contact us are not looking for the lowest price.
They are looking for:
• A team that understands the character of Main Line homes
• Craftsmanship that will last for decades
• A well-planned project that runs smoothly
• Clear communication from start to finish
Outdoor masonry projects often look simple from the outside. But what homeowners don’t see is the planning, structural work, drainage, base preparation, and craftsmanship required to build them correctly.
Our approach is simple:
Plan carefully. Build properly. Communicate clearly.
When those three things happen together, projects tend to go very well.
Investment Expectations
Outdoor masonry projects are long-term investments in your home.

Projects We Typically Take On
We specialize in larger exterior masonry projects such as:
• Bluestone patios
• Brick patios
• Paver patios
• Walkways and garden paths
• Stone steps and entryways
• Retaining walls
• Outdoor living spaces
• Custom masonry features
Many of our projects involve integrating new masonry with older Main Line homes, where materials and craftsmanship must match the character of the property.
Projects We’re Usually Not the Best Fit For
Because our projects involve planning, scheduling, and dedicated crews, we are typically not the right contractor for smaller repairs or quick fixes, such as:
• Small patch repairs
• Minor mortar touch-ups
• Small handyman projects
• One-day repair work
For those types of projects, a smaller specialty contractor or handyman is often a better option.
Our Approach to Masonry Projects
Many masonry contractors simply provide an estimate and start building.Our process is different.We believe that successful projects start long before construction begins.
Step 1. Fill Out Our Form
Click “Get Your Quote” to fill out a contact form. We’ll text you a link from our secured line so you can send us pictures and a video of your project. This will provide us a better idea of your current space as we begin your project.
Step 2. Phone Consultation
We’ll schedule a one-on-one phone call to talk about your project and give you a better understanding of how we will best assist you. We’ll then schedule an in-house consultation.
Step 3. Onsite Consultation & Design Phase If Applicable
Prior to contract signing, we will personally come out to discuss, in-person, your project vision. A design phase will begin (if applicable to your specific project and needs). Our design fee starts at $2,500. If you choose to move forward with us, the cost of the design will be included in the overall cost of the project.
Step 4. Sign The Contract
When all details are finalized and everyone’s on the same page with the plan, we’ll sign the contract and begin working our magic.
Step 5. Protect The Site
When we arrive to start your jobsite, we’ll set up protective measures to ensure the job site is safe and secure prior to project start.
Step 6. Pre-Job Walkthrough
Before we begin our work, we will walk through the project with you. This will allow us to set appropriate expectations for the entirety of the project.
Step 7. We Work Our Masonry Magic
We’ll start working on your project. We’ll do everything we can to make sure you’re comfortable and up-to-date on each step as the build phase unfolds.
Step 8. Post-Job Walkthrough
Our favorite part is the final walkthrough. We’ll present to you the completed project and make sure everything looks exactly as you’ve imagined. When we’ve left you with your dream space, invite all your friends and loved ones to celebrate your improved home!
Step 9. Our Warranty
We offer a 5-year labor warranty with a manufacturer warranty included. If something happens that is within our control and included in the warranty, we come in and get it fixed for you – free of charge.
Step 10. Follow Up Process
We want to make sure you love your project, and that your dream has become a reality. We will continuously follow up with you on your new place of relaxation for the next year to ensure your satisfaction.

If We’re Not the Right Fit
Not every project is the right match for every contractor.
And that’s okay.
If after reading this page you feel that our approach doesn’t align with your needs, we’re still happy to help point you in the direction of another contractor who may be a better fit.
What matters most to us is that your project turns out the way you hope it will.
