Edgar Stone Masonry  /  The Edgar Warranty
The Edgar Warranty

Built right. Guaranteed in writing.

Five years on every new stone commission. Ten years on the base beneath it. Written into your proposal, recorded on your Certificate of Commission — and it stays with the house.

The schedule

What we stand behind.

One standard for every project, large or small. Your terms are written into your proposal and recorded on your Certificate of Commission.

5
Years
Every New Commission

All new stonework we set — terraces, patios, walkways, steps, walls, chimneys, veneer and outdoor living. No tiers, no thresholds.

10
Years
The Base Beneath It

The reinforced base and footings we build — the part you never see, and the part that decides whether it lasts.

2
Years
Concrete Flatwork

New poured slabs, pads, driveways and concrete steps.

1
Year
Repairs

On every repair we perform. We can’t warrant stone someone else set — we stand behind every stone we touch.

Covered

If our work moves, we come back.

  • The base or footing we built settles or fails
  • A stone we set loosens, shifts or settles
  • A mortar joint we laid opens or fails
  • A cap or tread we set lifts or rocks
  • A wall or step we built moves out of line

We return and make it right — at no cost to you.

Not covered

What no mason controls.

  • Natural variation in the stone’s color, veining and texture
  • Efflorescence — the natural white haze of the first months
  • Hairline shrinkage cracks in concrete, which are normal
  • Damage from rock salt or ammonium de-icers, acids, or high-pressure washing
  • Vehicles or loads beyond what the work was built to carry
  • Tree roots, or soil and water problems from causes outside our work — downspouts, grading, irrigation
  • Alterations or work by others
  • Storms, floods and other acts of nature
Transferable

Made to be inherited — so is the warranty.

If you sell your home, the warranty goes with it. The next owner keeps every remaining year, recorded on the Certificate of Commission that stays with the house. Stonework built right adds value to a property; a promise that transfers proves it.

Edgar inspects

Edgar comes out and looks at it himself — not a call center, not a subcontractor.

03

We make it right

Covered work is repaired at no cost, on a date that suits your household.

The warranty begins on your project’s completion date and applies once the contract is paid in full; on a sale, the new owner simply lets us know. It covers our workmanship; natural stone is a natural material, and its variation is part of its character. Care guidance for your stone is printed on the back of your Certificate of Commission.

Final Folio — The Commission

Commission the stone that outlives you.

Edgar personally walks every site before a single figure is written. Estates are accepted by private consultation — a limited number each season.
