The project went very well. Adelino replaced about 30 feet of a concrete apron along the side of our 120 year old house. The apron was badly cracked and had separated from the foundation which I believe was the cause of water leaking into our basement. He was able to recycle the original concrete, added wire mesh and covered it with new concrete that was placed and set above our expectations. We were impressed with the quality of work and Adelino's insistence on completing it to highest of standards including the cleanup of the yard. We were very pleased and wouldn't hesitate to hire him for other masonry work.

Excellent top-quality work provided as promised in a very timely and professional manner. Amount charged was exactly as per the written estimate. After our first stucco crack repair project was completed and the decision was made to tackle another phase, we were so comfortable doing business with Adelino that we paid him in full upfront so that we could travel as planned and not worry about sending installment checks. VERY HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Residential sidewalk construction job. We had an old walkway comprised of uneven large stones, some areas with cement poured between the stones. Very difficult to walk on this surface. Curved 65-foot pathway around the side of the house to a second entrance. This project involved removal of the stones and cement from the old walkway. Then digging down 5-7”, placing small white stones and then a a mix of grades of sand in the sidewalk trench. Vigorously and throughly tamped down both by hand and with a machine with forming a firm bed that enables drainage of the new finished walkway. 4”x8” paver stones arranged in an artistic pattern following the contour of the walkway and flaring out to the full widths of the cement stairs from the front and side doors. Sidewalk also flares out to expand as it rounds the curve on the way to the side door. Entire walkway connects smoothly to the driveway, with a very slight and perfect overall grade to enable the flow of rain water off the walkway. Additional work to create an 8’ channel drain across driveway, involving cutting the asphalt and cementing. This extra work solves our long-term problem with ponding, and in the winter dangerous freezing on the driveway surface. Adelino Soares arrived with two additional workers, removed the large pile of large stones and took them away (at my request). His attention to project planning and execution were commendable, start to finish. Adelino is a gentleman and professional in every regard. This is his second job at our house, where he refurbished our front slate and stone stairs and landing by doing an outstanding job. I was very happy to hire Adelino again to do this more complex job. He showed up as promised and scheduled, worked steadily and consistently from the start of the job to its conclusion. Adelion Soares Construction comes very highly recommended by me as an excellent choice for anyone who is considering getting stone and masonry work done.

Adelino was always on time, professional, very knowledgeable of his craft and proud of his work. Very competitive pricing. The work looks great and I would certainly hire him again if another need arose.

I had Adelino out a couple of years ago to build a retaining wall and do some other work around the house. When it was time to expand my paver paths I knew he was the guy I wanted to do the work. As expected everything came out really well, and I am very happy with the work, the price, and the cleanup. I would not hesitate to recommend Adelino to anyone.

We highly recommend Adelino Soares. He did an absolutely beautiful job on our driveway and walkway. He finished the job within the estimated time frame and within the agreed to budget. The materials used were first rate and the underlining base very well made. The job site was kept tidy during construction. We have had several people stop and ask us who did the job because it is so beautiful and because they are interested in having Adelino do some work for them.

Mr. Soares was very professional and great to work with. He listened and understood exactly what I wanted to have done and quoted a very reasonable price for the work. He was able to give me a few suggestions of what would work better than what I was thinking and I am very pleased with the results. I would highly recommend Mr. Soares.

Everything went great. Adelino is a true professional and he knows what he is talking about. He is honest about cost and recommendations are made and he does really nice work. See attached pictures. The lower path he didn't do, but he did the stone wall, regraded behind the wall, you can also see where the two downspouts were run into a single drain. In the other picture is the reverse angle of the paver walkway from the stair. All very nice work, and done within the exact timeframe Adelino promised.

The patio Angelino built surpassed all of our expectations. He showed up on time for our first meeting, carefully examined the job, and gave us a very competitive, detailed, all-inclusive estimate. No nickel and diming. He met all of his commitments, even suggesting ways we could save money. Most importantly, he is an old world craftsman who does the critical work himself to extremely high standards, while keeping his crew constantly in motion. When they wet the polymetric sand at the end of the job, I was amazed to see no puddling and especially pleased to see no accumulation by the doors. The patio is everything we had hoped for, and the cleanup pristine. In my 40+ years of dealing with contractors, Adelino is second to none. His workmanship is superb, his price extremely competitive, and his integrity impeccable. Very highly recommended.

Description of Work
We had an 8" thick 8'x8' concrete slab patio pitched TOWARDS the house. When snow melted, the water flowed to the sliding door. Then it froze. We wanted the slab removed and replaced with a properly pitched 12'x20' paver patio.

it went great!! From the first call to Adelino we knew we called the right guy.Adelino came on time to our house to give us a estimate on the walkway we wanted installed.to our surprise he had many photo albums of the past jobs he had done over the years.Adelino sat with us for quiet a wile going over the job he had us pick out the color of the stone to use and he did a great herringbone design at our request he added flowerbeds on both sides of the walkway it came out beautiful. Adelino worked with two helpers and did the job in one day they did a good job cleaning up after

As will happen, it was a lot more work than we had anticipated but had no way of knowing until Andolino got to work and saw the poor job that was done when the porch was originally put in. Andolino does very good, thorough work. Unfortunately he didn't offer the coupon discount even though they knew found them on Angies List. Other than that, the only other minor complaint was that they were a bit messy in that dried up cement pieces (large and small) were not fully cleaned up.

I couldn't be anymore happier with the job Adelino has done for my husband and I. We will definitely use him again, we enjoyed our beautiful patio and stairs this summer.

Horrible. We're putting our review elsewhere because we REALLY don't want other people hiring this man for mason work. He is NOT a mason. But he IS a fast talker, and will probably end up having you pay more than he originally says.

Description of Work
We asked him to do a patio off the back of our house, and he told us he was a mason. Well, based on the quality of work he gave us, that is highly doubtful. First, we told him we wanted pavers for the stairs he offered to do. We stated that we wanted whole pieces for the steps, but he ended up trying to put two pieces together and there was a giant ugly seam going through the middle. So we ended up having to buy the piece of granite for the steps, which he tried to take after we deducted it from his cost. He didn't even order the stones we wanted for the patio! Originally, we wanted a circle design in our patio, but he laid the stones first and did not have the room, so we agreed on a semi-circle. It turned out horrible! It looked like a lopsided rainbow created by a 6 year old! The cuts were terrible, there were broken pieces, and little chipped up pieces in between the larger stones. We saw it and took pictures, and showed people we know. We told him not to come in the next day, but he insisted and showed up anyway. So, we had to MAKE him leave, and not pay him the remainder for the job because the work was just so terrible. The rest of the patio and the stairs look fine (especially since we caught his work on the stairs). But now we have to get an actual mason in here to fix the "semi-circle"! I'm sure he is skilled in construction and landscaping, but he is DEFINITELY NOT a mason! Do not hire him for mason work!! Oh, and our house has been recently egged. We've lived here for about 10 years and have no problems with neighbors or locals, so we're pretty sure we know who may be involved. We originally weren't going to put up reviews, but after this we will!

Hi [Member Name Removed], with just one hour for the job to be completed and the rest of the money to be charged, you unfortunately had locked all your gates so Adelino won't complete the work. Its unfortunate you are upset because someone egged your house, we are a professional company and would never do such thing to our customers.

Loved the way it looked, but a few months later one of the stones darkened. It looks awful, the rest of the stones are natural looking and this one now doesn't match the rest. I tried to contact Adelino 3 times (Starting on July 1st.) Texted him with a photo of the stone step, then called him and left a voice message, then contacted by email via Angies List, which in the past had responded. No contact back to me at all. He claims he guarantees his work, but apparently this is not the case. We will probably need to contact a lawyer to get this resolved UPDATE: My husband called on his cell phone, and since he did not know the phone number he picked up. My husband explained the situation, and Adelino said that its the stone, and said he is not responsible for the stone, and refuses to do anything about it.

Description of Work
Replaced steps and walkway on 4/25/16. In June we started noticing one of the steps (blue stone) was darkening. Have tried numerous times to contact Adelino, but he will not return my calls. Had given him a glowing review a few months ago, Have to change that A to an F. Beware, he does not guarantee his work!
