Missing evidence lowers the score because we can't check it. It doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Claiming a profile never changes the score. Evidence context, not a guarantee of workmanship.

Great workmanship, communication and follow through. Would recommend and hire again.
I am very happy with the work done by Paul and his team at Burren. My flagstone walkway is now safe. They repaired and replaced missing pieces, ground out old mortar and replaced it. The project was completed on time and within budget.
Paul is very professional and explains clearly aspects of the job? Job went very well.

About
Born and raised at the foothills of the Burren Co. Clare Ireland, stone is what I know. This region is known for its limestone and there is plenty of it. Stone is the foundation of my home house, the fences on our farm and the beauty of our land. My first cut at masonry I was about 7. There I was standing alongside my father building a stone wall. Now, one would think this was a fond moment, father teaching his son "the trade". Let me tell you, if I hadn't broken the kitchen window hurling a sliotar through it, I might not be the Mason I am today.

Worth checking yourself
Their public evidence comes from a single source. Look them up on another site before deciding.
No credentials are shown here and the business has not claimed this profile. Ask to see certificates and insurance directly.
Trade licensing in Canada is set by each province or territory. Electrical, gas and plumbing are licensed trades almost everywhere (for example ESA for electrical and TSSA for gas in Ontario), so check your provincial regulator that the contractor is certified for the work before you hire.
A construction lien is a real risk: in every province an unpaid subcontractor or supplier can register a lien against your home even if you already paid the main contractor. Hold back the statutory amount (commonly around 10%) and get signed lien waivers as you pay.
Ask to see a portfolio of completed work like yours, plus recent references you can contact.
