    Brian and crew have worked on various projects for us. Our brick house was built in 1854, which means that upkeep can involve intense problem solving. In nearly every instance, I would call Brian to do some work and realize the labor was just the end of the process. He studied the problem and considered every aspect of the situation and planned work that would last and be in keeping with our historic house. The projects varied from brick repointing to rebuilding masonry steps and walls to chimney repair to roofing and to installation of skylights and sky windows. Brian and every person who worked under him were pleasant and reliable. If you value someone with expertise and good communication skills, and want final results that will last, hire Brian.

    Brian and his team were excellent! I had been looking for a competent, honest and creative mason and frankly, Brian found me! My front steps were a mess and he was going past my house and offered to repair them. We spoke and I indicated I wanted all new and he completed the job in about 2 and 1/2 weeks. He sourced the color bricks and mortar I wanted, gave me a very fair price and showed up every day til the work was done. I couldn’t be happier! See more See less

I would highly recommend them!! See more See less

    Brian and his team did a great job for us down in Portland‘s old port. Not only did we have a complicated design to go into our brick façade, but he had to work around our business schedule! I would highly recommend them and happy to discuss our experience! See more See less

    Brian and his team did a major renovation of our bathrooms and they were completely transformed by the work of the DiMillo construction team. They always finished the job on time and they do impeccable work. See more See less

    I have been working with Brian, Nate and crew for over 8 years on a variety of projects, small to large and could not be more pleased with everything they have done. Their estimates are very accurate and the communication regarding any changes or additional recommendations throughout the process is superb. Their craftsmanship, professionalism and work ethic are second to none and as a result I give them my full endorsement. See more See less

    Have only had positive experiences working with Brian. Needed some specialized masonry and masonry repair work done for my business and Brian took care of it. Very good communicator as well. I would recommend Brian and his team to anyone in the greater Portland, Maine area looking for high-quality masonry contracting. See more See less

    My wife and I were thrilled to have found Brian. We retired to Maine about 3 years ago. Our apartment needed to be completely gutted, reconfigured, with new electrics and plumbing, and my wife wanted a gas fireplace. All was accomplished expertly and timely! I'm going to include only 1 photo of many I could have. Notice the stone work. Each piece was hand chipped, shaped and placed individually. Notice how our new hardwood floor is scribed to the Brian DiMillo hand shaped stone hearth. Doesn't get any better than this! We are thrilled to be living here. See more See less

    DiMillo Construction reset my sagging granite steps at both the front and back entrances. They did a phenomenal job restoring them to their original look. DiMillo also reset the two brick walkways leading to the house, giving them a perfect pitch so water would not collect there anymore. It used to be a problem in winter, the water would turn into ice, making it very hazardous to navigate. DiMillo's crew is a pleasure to have around. Courteous, with a strong work ethic, they do high quality work at a fair price. I cannot recommend them enough. Jutta Graf See more See less

I can’t recommend Brian and his team enough! They are professional, timely and transparent. Brian is very detail-oriented and really listens to what you want, which shows in his craftsmanship. We are so happy with all the work he’s done! See more See less

    Brian has worked on several masonry and hardscape projects for us over the past several years and has always provided us with quality services and a positive experience. He is fair and has a great work ethic. It goes without saying that in my experiences, Brian takes pride, ownership and responsibility in every project in which he is involved. See more See less

    DiMillo Construction did a marvelous job installing a stone path in our new flower garden and installing new stones at the top and bottom of existing stone steps. They selected perfectly matched stones and arranged them to blend into the existing hardscape. They fit together a variety of stone sizes to ensure a natural-looking and gracefully shaped path. The result adds not only to the beauty of the new garden plantings but to the landscape as a whole. DiMillo Construction are true artists. In addition, Brian and his crew are professional and work with the customer to achieve the intended results. They are also extremely tidy and respectful. We are so pleased with the results of our project and highly recommend DiMillo Construction. See more See less

    Brian and his team did a great job of replacing a very old chimney (probably from 1840) and repointing a newer one. He showed up with appropriate equipment, including a powered lift to get people and equipment to the roof. This shows care for the safety of his crew and a commitment to the longevity of his business. Brian stuck to his estimate and kept me informed as to his progress and anything he notice while on the roof. See more See less

    In our opinion, Brian is an accomplished and skilled stonemason, with a strong work ethic! We have an early 1800's house, and Brian has re-set front granite steps. Also, after outside digging+ to create better drainage along the outside foundation walls, Brian repointed the stones of the internal rubble foundation, and then parged the walls to help manage basement water leakage. Brian knows stones, and I believe also an artist, loving a design challenge, too. He and a friend created a wonderful stone entrance area *(small "patio" with well-planned accessibility to the close driveway, transforming a BACK door feeling, which morphed beautifully into the "main entrance" of the house. Ahead of time, we really had had no specific idea of what I was looking for, other than something a bit unusual. We talked - they listened, and definitely understood! I felt comfortable letting them use their judgement and ideas - I LOVE it!! Just what I wanted!! Brian's work is wonderful!! I highly recommend stonemason Brian DiMillo!! See more See less
