Why Delaware Valley Homeowners Choose Esposito Artisan Masonry
Hiring a masonry contractor is a long-term decision. The stonework, brickwork, and hardscape features on your property will last 50 to 100 years when properly installed. That is why choosing the right contractor matters more than choosing the lowest bid.
Esposito Artisan Masonry is a division of DiSabatino Inc., one of the Delaware Valley's premier luxury home improvement companies with over 30 years of experience and more than 1,000 completed projects. Led by Vince Esposito, a third-generation Italian stonemason trained in Naples, our masonry team brings a level of handcrafted precision that production-focused contractors cannot match.
Here is what sets us apart:
- Generational expertise: Vince Esposito learned his craft from his father and grandfather in Italy. That tradition of artisan stonemasonry informs every project we take on.
- Integrated design-build approach: As part of DiSabatino Inc., we coordinate masonry work with landscape design, pool installation, outdoor lighting, and architectural planning under one roof.
- 30+ years in the Delaware Valley: We have completed over 1,000 projects across Greenville, Hockessin, West Chester, Chadds Ford, and the Main Line.
- BBB A+ rating and Torch Award: DiSabatino Inc. earned the Better Business Bureau Torch Award for Marketplace Ethics in 2006 and maintains an A+ rating today.

Masonry Services We Provide Across the Delaware Valley
Our masonry contractors handle projects of every scale, from a new brick walkway to a full outdoor living transformation with stone fireplaces, retaining walls, and custom pool coping.
Stone and Brick Patios
We design and install patios using natural stone, flagstone, brick, and premium pavers. Each patio is custom-built to complement your home's architecture and surrounding landscape. Our installations include proper grading, drainage, and a compacted base that prevents settling and shifting over time.
Walkways and Steps
Whether you need a flagstone path through your garden or a grand brick entrance with stone steps, our team builds walkways that balance beauty with safety. We match materials to your existing hardscape for a unified look across your property.
Outdoor Fireplaces and Fire Pits
A stone fireplace or fire pit extends your outdoor season by months. We build custom fireplaces using natural stone, brick, and mortar, with options for wood-burning, natural gas, or propane fuel sources. Each fireplace is engineered for proper draft and heat output.
Retaining Walls
Our retaining walls serve both structural and aesthetic purposes. We build them from natural stone, block, or brick, with engineering considerations for drainage, soil pressure, and frost depth specific to the Delaware Valley climate.
Driveways and Floors
Brick and stone driveways make a lasting first impression. We install paver and flagstone driveways built to handle vehicle traffic without cracking or shifting, along with interior and exterior stone flooring for covered outdoor spaces.
Pool Coping and Surrounds
We frame pools with natural stone, brick, or premium paver coping that enhances safety, comfort underfoot, and visual appeal. Our coping installations complement the surrounding hardscape and protect the pool structure.
Decorative Stamped Concrete
For homeowners who want the look of stone or brick with the versatility of poured concrete, we offer stamped concrete patios, walkways, steps, and retaining walls. Stamped concrete can be poured to match any design, resists weather damage, and requires minimal maintenance.
Tuck-Pointing and Masonry Repair
Mortar joints deteriorate over time. Our tuck-pointing service restores the structural integrity and appearance of brick and stone walls, chimneys, and foundations without replacing the original masonry.
Historical Masonry Restoration
The Delaware Valley is home to properties dating back centuries. Our team has the expertise in traditional artisan techniques required to restore historical masonry work while preserving its original character and meeting modern building codes.

What Does Masonry Work Cost in the Delaware Valley?
Every masonry project is custom, so pricing depends on materials, scope, site conditions, and design complexity. We provide detailed written estimates after an on-site consultation. Here are some general factors that affect cost:
- Material choice: Natural stone typically costs more than brick or stamped concrete, but lasts longer with less maintenance.
- Site preparation: Sloped lots, poor drainage, or existing structures that need removal add to project scope.
- Project scale: A simple brick walkway has different labor requirements than a full outdoor living space with a stone fireplace, patio, and retaining walls.
- Integration with other work: Projects that combine masonry with landscaping, pool installation, or lighting often cost less per element than hiring separate contractors for each.
DiSabatino Inc. also offers financing through HFS Financial Services for homeowners who want to spread the cost of larger projects.
Frequently Asked Questions About Masonry Contractors in the Delaware Valley
How long does a stone patio installation take?
Most residential stone patios take two to four weeks from start to finish, depending on size, material, and site preparation needs. Larger projects that include retaining walls, steps, or integrated landscaping may take longer. We provide a detailed timeline during the planning phase so you know what to expect.
What is the difference between natural stone and stamped concrete?
Natural stone is quarried material like flagstone, bluestone, or limestone. It offers unique color variation and texture that ages well over decades. Stamped concrete is poured concrete imprinted with patterns that mimic stone or brick. It costs less upfront and works well for large, uniform surfaces. Natural stone generally lasts longer and requires less maintenance over its lifetime.
Do you handle permits for masonry projects?
Yes. Our team manages the permitting process for projects that require it, including retaining walls above certain heights and structures near property lines. We are familiar with local building codes across Delaware, Chester County, and Delaware County.
How do I maintain my stone or brick masonry?
Most masonry requires minimal maintenance. We recommend annual inspections for mortar joint condition, clearing debris from drainage paths, and sealing natural stone surfaces every three to five years. Our tuck-pointing service can restore deteriorating mortar joints without replacing the original stonework.
Can you match new masonry to my existing stonework?
Yes. Matching existing masonry is one of our specialties. Vince Esposito's background in historical restoration gives our team the ability to source and work with materials that blend with original stonework, even on properties that are 100 years old or more.
What areas do you serve?
We serve the entire Delaware Valley, including New Castle County in Delaware, Delaware County and Chester County in Pennsylvania, and the Philadelphia Main Line. We also take select projects in New Jersey and Maryland.
