    Requested an appointment for various small construction projects. They sent several reminders of the appointment. They didn't show up.

    The whole team was very respectful of us, our concerns and the yard - making sure it was kept clean of debris and with minimal impact to grass and garden.

    We are extremely pleased with how beautifully this walkway turned out on our Dover, Delaware…read moreproperty. Stephen responded quickly and professionally to our inquiry, quoted a reasonable price - which fell in the middle of two other quotes. He and his crew went above and beyond expectations, including leveling off the sides with topsoil and patching up parts of another pathway. We were fully expecting to have to repair our electric dog fence upon completion, but they worked very carefully to preserve it - and took good care with our landscaping. He showed up when he said he would and finished when he said he would. We have gotten a lot of compliments from neighbors.

    It is hard to find a good brick mason: someone who understands the physics of how brick and mortar…read moreworks. I know just enough about it to understand how it can all go wrong, and I've felt taken advantage of by contractors before, and so when I got to the point where I felt I could no longer tolerate the deterioration I was observing in my garage, I went to look for a mason. I asked around a lot. The boutique guys, preservationists, and artisans mostly didn't get back to me. One failed to inspire confidence. Another guy stood me up. Another wouldn't go into the city. One never got me a quote. Another guy was very nice and knowledgeable but quoted me a price so high that it had me looking at DIYing it. The search was not pleasant. Brick brothers was different. Stephen understood my concerns about the materials and the work that was needed, he showed an understanding of the principles of brick and mortar masonry on par with the fancier guys, and he quoted me a price I could actually afford. My only critique would be that the written quote lacked detail, but we adequately covered the scope of work verbally. It took two Saturdays, and I'd rough guess 48 man-hours. I'm so glad I didn't have to go the DIY route. Now the way brick goes it's probably at least 5 years before one can be certain that the work is right, but based on my conversations with Stephen and my own observations of his work, I'm confident that I'll see no spalling on the repaired areas. And having seen a few rains since the work was done, I can already report that I'm no longer seeing water infiltration in the repaired areas. So for brick repair needs, Stephen of Brick Brothers hits that rare intersection of competence and price which makes his work a great value. I would absolutely recommend him for any brick masonry needs.

    It has taken me nearly 9 months to complete this review due to my embarrassment at being "had" for…read moreover $30,000 by this company. The representative sold me a bill of goods that has not fixed the problem that I allowed him into my home to discuss and you resolve. I have no knowledge about foundation work and this person outright misled me. After coming into my home and starting the work, the company admitted they could not do what the representative said they could do and what the contract I signed said they would do. They did not seal my crawl space, they did not reinforce a sag in my flooring structure, they placed a sump pump drain line outside the area that I requested, they left food and clothing items in my crawl space after they were done. They bullied me. The work is sloppy. And then I allowed them to come in again to sweet talk a workaround that wasn't done correctly either. Now, I will also admit that I am a Veteran and a Nurse and that my pride may cost me and prevent me from obtaining an attorney. Although after writing this, I still may. But until then, maybe I can speak out and save someone the embarrassment and expense. Sorry it took me so long to post. DON'T USE THIS COMPANY.

    UPDATE: 24 OCT 2025…read more You won't regret working with Avalos Concrete LLC! Joel was fantastic--easy to communicate with and extremely knowledgeable. He even used his network to secure a great deal on asphalt to finish the driveway leading to my garage pad. Erick and his crew were just as impressive. They worked efficiently, paid close attention to detail, and made sure everything was done right. I'm incredibly grateful to Joel for coordinating everything seamlessly and communicating clearly with Erick about exactly what was needed. The entire job went smoothly from start to finish, and you won't find a better deal or quote anywhere else. Huge thank-you to both Joel and Erick for their excellent work and professionalism. Highly recommend! ------------------------------------------- Joel and his team from Avalos Concrete delivered exceptional workmanship from start to finish. They ensured the project fully met Carroll County requirements and even improved the overall appearance beyond its original condition. Communication with Joel was excellent -- he was responsive, transparent, and easy to work with throughout the process. He was upfront and honest about his pricing, and unlike others, he personally came out to take precise measurements before providing an estimate. His professionalism, attention to detail, and strong work ethic truly set him apart. I highly recommend Avalos Concrete for anyone seeking quality work, integrity, and reliability in a concrete contractor.

    I have been dealing with a foundation crack that has let water in the basement for 3 years…read more Finally I contacted a true expert. I sent Sam an email through is website and received an immediate call. Sam came out to my house on a Sunday and walked me through the process. No sales pitch, no non-sense, down to earth, and personable, just what I was looking for. I need someone to fix it once and for all! The work looks great. Sam's crew left our yard and basement spotless in a better condition than it was in before they got there to do the work. I have complete confidence that this pesky crack will no longer be a problem for me. I highly recommend.

    Disappointing service. We initially purchased a basement inspection by Sam on Angie's List. While…read morehe's quite personable and gave a great report, he didn't notice the basement leaks etc until we pointed it out. However as I said, he's personable. Fast forward a year, and we're finishing the basement. Our contractor went to put in the new plumbing and our foundation was a mess. Got two quotes for sump pump systems, one from Sam and one from our contractor's work experience. About the same, so we went with Sam. Sam never showed up but sent his team who appeared to work hard and diligently. Older house so they broke the main sewage line leaving our house. Our problem of course. Later, luckily before we put in carpet, noticed the middle of a room was leaking from the floor up. Looks like they agitated the line running to the upstairs laundry room. Again, our problem. A year later, the pipe that runs to our line that goes out to the culvert, is leaking all over our concrete patio. Contact Sam (third time) and he tells us, not his problem, call a plumber - should be an easy fix. Call the plumber, he comes out and says no i'm not going to fix it because this is such a poor design that it will just happen again. Oh and by the way you are lucky that the water never froze in this pipe (the design has it going "uphill") since that would have broken your sump pump. Now, we have to investigate how to re-design the layout and plumber will come back to fix. Thanks Sam - no expertise or service provided.
