Shazo's Masonry LLC - Newtown, Connecticut

AJ W.

Shazo comes off as a charming, "happy to oblige" Mason. His son, Adrian is cut from the same cloth. I hired Shazo three times, his son, once, to build and fix two stone walls and a walk way.

I made the mistake of trusting Shazo's honesty and even though it took a year to complete one of the projects, like a"dunce", I hired Shazo and his son, Adrian to fix two stone walls.

At first, it looked as though this latest project was going to go without a hitch and would be completed on time. Don't get me wrong, the other job that Shazo completed looks great. My issue isn't with the quality of the work, but instead with Shazo and Adrian's honesty and integrity.

Unfortunately, and even though I paid Adrian more than half, it has now been six months and the job remains unfinished. In fact, Shazo has even blocked my number.

The cement and sand that was purchased for the job is no longer usable and the town dump won't take it. They also left equipment, see pix, behind that I will now need to dispose of.

I am 69 and on a fixed income, I am also far too trusting. I gave Adrian the advance he needed, because he said his truck needed repairs in order to finish the job, and I believed him. It is obvious to me now that it was all a scam.

I will be taking the matter up with the Bureau of Consumer Affairs, so that hopefully Shazo and his son cannot "con" another unsuspecting customer.

I have never left a review, nor have I ever filed a complaint through official channels. I am doing this now, in the hopes that they can't do this to another "unsuspecting" customer. So, BUYER BEWARE!!!!! Do not allow this to happen to you. Maria

Believe the warnings by other reviewers. It has been over 3 months since Sazo/Shazo and his son/partner Adrian took our $3,000 deposit. They said they would start work in two weeks. That was all lies and broken promises. I saw him in the neighborhood and confronted him “your house is next boss” he told me. A few days later he dropped off a day laborer to dig a hole. After months of hounding them and hearing nothing but excuses I demanded my money back. It has now been over 3 months, the deposit has NOT been returned and they have stopped replying to texts and calls. Keep your sanity and do not engage with the Ajdinoski family for masonry or contract work.

This review is long overdue. I called Sh Masonry for a free estimate. I got a good price so they started the job and completed it as they promised me on the time they said . I got my house fully remodeled from walls to flooring and kitchen to bathroom and windows and doors. I recommend Sh Masonry for any job. (The wife is)very happy with our new house! I will be calling again for future work and thank you for for all your help:)

Run don't walk away from this guy. I don't like writing bad reviews, but even a bad one would be a compliment. He sings a good song but you'll find he is terribly out of tune! I hired him to redo our front steps and OMG what a mess! After 21 days and not one step completed I had no choice but to fire him. My property was damaged because they didn't protect anything when they were chopping up the old brick and every day they left a complete mess. The longest they worked here on one day was 2 1/2 hours. They got here late and left very early. Always had an excuse, but even his son said he was taking on too many jobs. I was so disappointed and now I am just plain disgusted.

I really did not want to write this but am so desperate. SH Masonry came to fix a crumbling walkway and wall in May 2020. We definitely were squeezed in between his other jobs even though we were promised otherwise. The job was completed however within a few weeks we noticed the concrete on the walkway started separating from the blue stone. Both my wife and I have been calling him for three months and he has not been responsive at all even though he claims his work is guaranteed. I am so upset as we paid good money for this job and feel completely abandoned. I would steer clear of SH Masonry and look for another contractor.

Follow up on my previous post. They (Shazo and Adrian) finally returned to view the work falling apart, 1.5 years after I contacted them. They agreed with me that the walkway needed to be pulled up and redone. They told me they would be back in a month or so to complete. Fast forward, four months later, after many excuses about why they couldn’t get to me to fix the work, they have now stopped returning my calls. Also, after posting my original message, I heard from many people, who expressed the same frustrations that I have had. Do NOT use them.

SH masonry do great work and are reliable! They redid my fireplace and Absolutely love it and our family and friends admires it just as much! Looking forward to have them doing our outdoor patio! Fair prices and they do a great job!

I can't even give him one star but I had to. He lies. He did our chimney and My fault for trusting but raised the price in the middle for a substantial amount. I am embarrassed that I trusted him. He ruins everything. DO NOT TRUST HIM. Ask the police they all know him and what he is about. Considered the Nightmare of Newtown. Have no idea where he lives. He has been evicted in 2019.
