  McGhee's Concrete Inc.

  We wanted to extend and replace our existing concrete driveway. Originally, after signing the contract, the job was scheduled for the week of July 2nd. We were contacted and informed that the job would need to be rescheduled for July 10th. Due to poor weather conditions, the job was rescheduled again for August 3rd. Then, we were informed that they could not do the job on August 3rd because it had rained so much the company was behind on their contractual obligations. On the evening of August 5th, we received a call that they were going to begin the job the next morning. The job took 2 days to complete. The crew was punctual and performed their work proficiently. The old concrete was removed and the area cleaned up before the guys left on the 2nd day. I enjoyed dealing with Eyvette, the assistant to the owner. She was professional and friendly and always responded to my questions. We also had to replace the old brick step that lead one step down from the porch to the driveway. For the step, Bill, the estimator, put us in touch with Sunil, who does brickwork. Sunil works weekends for McGhee. He came out this past Sunday morning, it took all day to install, and the new step looks great.

  Top Notch Brick & Block Masonry, Inc.

  Had four companies come to evaluate job. Top Notch was the only one prepared to do written estimate and the price was not outrageous, the front man was pleasant and answered my questions. They did the job and it turned out good. Thank you Top Notch!

  Sturdevant Construction

  6 months late in completing work. They had subcontractors do all the work. The workers would come in irregularly, many times nobody would show up for work. I had to call and ask if they are coming or not. Workers had to be replaced because of poor quality service. There's a leak in the skylight and they still had not fixed it. The failed inspections. Please stay away from Sturdevant.

  Hipp Masonry Works Inc

  I started by calling a couple of the foundation companies, but they tried to make me think my house was sinking to its ruin and wanted me to spend over $20,000 to make rock solid repairs! Fortunately I have common sense, and started calling brick masons instead. I found Hipp on Angie's List and called for an estimate. He came out, looked at the area where I had issues, and then walked around the house looking at other smaller problems. He suggested digging to the footer on the front corner, installing jacks, and trying to raise the foundation to its proper level. He also recommended re-pointing some of the other smaller areas and replacing my slooping front porch concrete. I opted for the foundation and all the brick work, leaving the porch for later. When they first attempted to lift the foundation, some cracks started to re-open around the windows on the inside, so I asked them to stop and just stabilize at that point. The replacement windows had been installed about 15 years ago and were aligned to the slope, and worked perfectly. They did an excellent job, and I am extremely pleased with the work!! Chuck even dabbed some paint on some bricks that had been damaged by a power washer, so that they would match the other bricks. He left me the paint so that I can later "dab" around bricks stained from the wash down of my aluminum siding. This is a small company (just three of them I think), and I had to call several times to get set up. And it took a while for them to get to my job. This is why the C for responsiveness. But once they started, they were prompt and professional, well worth the wait! I opted to wait on the porch work, but will hire them to do that soon. Note: I have found that the best contractors are the small, hands-on companies. They are all hard to reach, and take a while to schedule, but they tend to be fair, and do the best work!

  Hipp Masonry Works Inc

  I have called 3 times in the past two weeks and have not received a return call. I am NOT impressed! I understand that he may be busy but a return call in all that time is certainly doable and good business practice. I will call someone else.

  VA. Brick Doctor

  After a consultation with Kenny on the work I needed done, I hired VA Brick Doctor. Kenny repointed steps on the front and back porch, and repaired couple areas on porch where tiles were cracked and loose. Due to rainy weather I had to wait a few weeks before he could start but the wait was worth it. Kenny and his assistant arrived early and worked in hot, humid conditions. Kenny is easy to work with, meticulous, and knows his trade. I was very pleased with his work. It has been a year since the work was done and everything looks great.

  Ace Chimney Sweep

  Ryan was very professional, friendly, and did a great job. He thoroughly inspected the fireplace and chimney, inside and out. He took photos of the chimney while he was on the roof so he could show me what was going on up there. He was very helpful and explained everything he did and what he found. He pointed out a potential problem with the mortar in the bricks on the chimney shoulder, but was very clear that it was okay to wait on that and see what develops and didn't try to push me into an unnecessary repair. Just gave me a quote on the fix. I will definitely use him again. In fact, I'm going to have him clean my gutters later this month. Highly recommend!

  Hipp Masonry Works Inc

  Hipp's crew  did a great job. Chuck (Owner) said it would look as good as new when done. Well I do not think it looked as good when it was new. I am absolutely pleased with the work done and the care taken not to tear up the flower beds.

  Colony Roofing

  Everything went perfectly.  The date was set.  The aggregate in the porch was demolished, the fill inspected and increased then the new concrete poured.  A couple days later, the mason came to repair the brick and mortar on the edges and steps.  The new mortar was custom blended to match the old beautifully.  Once the work on the porch was complete, the crew came out and installed the new gutters.  The job was not a huge one, as construction goes, but the team at Colony Construction gave us million dollar service and workmanship.

  Manning Masonry Doctor

  Mr. Manning was recommended to me by one of the owners of Shawel's Appliances. She said he had done a beautiful job for her, and that his bid was much less than others she had gotten. She was so satisfied and complimentary that I got an estimate from Mr. Manning and decided to use him. My front porch was actually sinking and was sloping at such an angle that, whenever it rained, my doormat stayed soaking wet. Mr. Manning did a phenomenal job of demolishing the concrete center of my porch, making sure it was properly supported, and re-pouring it. He even stayed late into the night in freezing weather, explaining that the concrete had to be constantly monitored until it reached a certain stage. His attention to detail was so meticulous and his repairs were so outstanding, including perfectly matching the mortar, that it was difficult to locate all the areas he had repaired. I strongly recommend Mr. Manning. He is highly professional, does quality work, plus he possesses honesty, integrity and his work product is extraordinary. He is a true perfectionist, and I feel that his bill was extremely reasonable considering the scope of the job he accomplished on my behalf.
