 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Ken Bradshaw and his crew from Empire Masonry,
VA designed and installed our backyard patio and walkways.  Ken met me at the stone store and also offered to show me patios he had done.  We made multiple trips to see various options.  The patio and walkways look great and we thoroughly enjoy them.  Ken advised me regarding cost saving measures which did not compromise appearance or quality.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Ken and the Empire group did a phenomenal job on rebuilding sections of a firewall between townhomes.  His crew worked closely with my roofer and they were all timely, clean and professional.  Now that Empire has expanded to Lake Anna, they m looking forward to leveraging them for a new fire pit and stone walkway down to the dock.

Highly recommend Ken and the Empire group for all your masonry needs!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We would like to share that Ken Bradshaw and his team did spectacular work for us during the completion of our Custom waterfront home.  We  hired them to build a very complex foundation with block and stone and 2 oversized masonry fireplaces.  We are very proud of the work they did and we receive high praise from everyone that visits.  Highly recommend Empire Masonry!!!

The quality of work was top notch and we couldn’t be happier with all the stone work that was done. Flower Beds, 8ft in diameter fire pit circle and stone patio. Thank you so much!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Ken has decades of experience in brickwork and Masonary, and it shows in his work. When I contacted him for a paver walkway, we walked down my street so he could show me projects that he had completed in the past.

The paver walkway came out exactly as I wanted, for a very reasonable price. My son lives up the street, and Ken put in a brick walkway with mortar joints. When a step began to sink, Ken’s made the necessary repairs, no questions asked.

We are in discussions regarding a new project at this time. Any brickwork or Masonary project that I need will go to Ken. He is very personable and easy to talk to. Glad to have a contractor that is not , “Hit and Run”

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The greatest brick and stone company I have ever worked with in my almost 40 years of building homes.

The best hire you can make - they are reliable, clean, and professional and their work is 2nd to none.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Ken and his team did our brick stoop and walkway and I couldn’t be happier with the work they did. Ken even came back months later to fix some minor cracking from settling because he truly stands by his workmanship. I highly recommend Empire Masonry!
