Red flags
The mess is not the masonry. It is the contractor.
Homeowners usually know the project will be loud and dusty. The real fear is paying in, losing control, and watching the job sit open while nobody gives a straight answer.
What you are avoiding
The costly part is the unfinished property.
- 01
A crew opens the driveway, makes a mess, and disappears.
- 02
You have to explain the same job again to people who were not at the estimate.
- 03
The owner appears for the deposit, then again when payment is due.
- 04
The cheap quote leaves out insurance, prep, cleanup, and follow-through.
- 05
The basement patch fails because the water was never stopped outside.
The Ery way
One owner. One crew. One active site.
Ery works alongside the crew on every project. The person who quoted the work is there while it gets built, so questions get answered before they turn into problems.
One active site
The crew does not leave your project half-open while another job gets priority.
Clean daily closeout
Tools are stacked, walkways are left usable, and the property is respected.
Payment after proof
The final payment comes after your finished walkthrough, not before.
Scope of work
Hardscape, waterproofing, and repair work for homes that get used.
The offer is practical: show the problem, walk the property, get a clear price, then hire the owner-run crew if the fit is right.
driveways / sidewalks / patios
Paver driveways
Base prep, drainage, edges, and finish details for surfaces that need to survive daily use.
facades / retaining walls / steps
Stucco and walls
Exterior masonry, block work, stairs, curbs, retaining walls, and repair work for homes and HOAs.
basements / drainage / exterior fixes
Waterproofing
Exterior-first waterproofing for leaks that interior patches cannot solve for good.

Backyard builds
PVC and chain link fences, pool surrounds, full backyard rebuilds, and interior remodels when the fit is right.
Project standard
Finish the work. Clean the site.
Process
Three moves from rough idea to finished walkthrough.
Send the problem
Call, text, or send a few photos. You will know quickly if the job is a fit.
Walk it with Erdi
He measures, listens, explains materials, and gives you a clear scope without a hard sell.
Build and close clean
The same crew works the project through, then walks the finished work with you before final payment.
Field proof
Referral-built work, not showroom talk.
Ery has grown through neighbors, past clients, HOAs, and property managers who already know the crew shows up and finishes clean.
Ask for examples of similar jobs during the walkthrough. The best proof is seeing the same scope, finish, and cleanup standard before you sign.
Backyard masonry
Patios, paths, pool surrounds
Retaining walls
Stonework, walls, steps
Paver detail
Driveways and walkways
Drainage work
Waterproofing and site prep

Questions
The things homeowners ask before they trust a contractor.
How does payment work? Do I have to pay half up front?
No. The typical deposit is 25-30%, and that can be discussed. Many projects have a middle progress payment once the work is roughly halfway done. The final payment is due after the finished walkthrough.
Will Erdi actually be on the job?
Yes. Ery is owner-run, and Erdi is on every job site every working day. You do not have to re-explain the project after the estimate.
I got a cheaper quote. Why are you priced higher?
Licensed, insured work costs more because the crew, preparation, cleanup, and follow-through are built into the job. Ery will not cut the parts that protect your home just to match a risky number.
Will basement waterproofing hold if interior patches failed?
Interior patches often come back because the water is still pushing from outside. Ery quotes exterior-first waterproofing when that is what the problem needs.
How long will the work take?
You will get a realistic window after the estimate, including weather risk. Once the project starts, the crew works it through instead of leaving the site open for a week.
Do you work with HOAs and property managers?
Yes. Ery handles single homes as well as repeat masonry, sidewalk, waterproofing, and repair work for property managers handling multiple properties.
What kinds of projects should I call about?
Paver driveways, sidewalks, stucco, retaining walls, staircases, curbs, PVC and chain link fencing, basement waterproofing, drainage, bathrooms, kitchens, and basement finishing.
