§ ABOUT / 2003 — PRESENT

Twenty
years of
mortar
& muscle.

Middle Village Construction is a family-owned masonry & hardscape contractor based in Queens, NY. We've been doing this work since 2003 — same neighborhoods, same crew, same standards.

/ Who we are

A small crew of craftsmen who'd rather be on the job than in the office. Hand-laid brick, cut stone, poured concrete — built to outlast the people who order it.

The company was founded in 2003 by a second-generation mason who'd grown up watching his father lay brick in Astoria. Two decades later we're still working out of the same shop on 80th Street, just with more trucks in the lot and more permits on the wall.

We're fully licensed in NYC, Nassau County, and Suffolk County, with general liability and workers' comp insurance carried year-round. We're an active member of the Better Business Bureau and a proud authorized Cambridge Paver installer — one of fewer than two hundred in the state.

Every job we do, the crew that gives you the estimate is the crew that builds it. No subcontractor chain, no surprises, no someone-else's-problem. If we build it and something needs attention five years on, you call us — and we come.

/ How we work

Four things
we don't
compromise on.

01 / SELF-PERFORM
Our crew,
our work.

We don't subcontract masonry. The hands that bid the job are the hands that build it — from footings to final wash. The only thing we sub out is occasional specialty work like custom railings, and we coordinate that for you.

02 / WRITTEN
Itemized.
Always.

Every estimate is line-itemed in writing. Materials, labor, permits, timeline — you see exactly what you're paying for. No moving target, no "we'll figure it out", no surprise change orders unless something genuinely changes.

03 / DOCUMENTED
Photos at
every stage.

Footings, drainage, base layers, joints — we photograph the build at every stage and share it with you. You see exactly how your stoop or patio went together, and you have receipts if anyone asks years later.

04 / STAND BEHIND
We answer
the phone.

2-year workmanship warranty as standard. Cambridge installs carry the lifetime ArmorTec® manufacturer warranty. And if something needs attention beyond that — call us anyway. We'd rather come take a look than leave a customer unhappy.

/ THE TRADE
Masonry is a
trade, not a
commodity.

Anyone can pour concrete. Few can read a stoop and know which courses to save and which to rebuild. We trained the old way, and it shows in the work.

/ FREE
Estimates are
always free.

No deposit, no obligation, no "discovery fee". We walk the site, listen, and have a written proposal back to you within 72 hours.
