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.

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.

He skillfully matched the color and texture of the new mortar to the 77-year old original so it's nearly impossible to distinguish new from old mortar. Miguel and his truly is truly a craftsmanship treasure of skill, efficiency and affability. I think his wife also works behind the scenes keeping the whole business running smoothly.

Miguel asked tons of questions to make sure he understood my vision of what I wanted - he even did a "test drive" with a car similar in size to mine to make sure the circle was large enough to accommodate the turn! I wanted permeable pavers and he offered choices that go perfectly with the colors of my house. Miguel is very good at keeping you informed of the project's status; he and his crew work really efficiently but they don't skimp on any details or excellence. As part of this latest project, Miguel poured a new concrete base for the deck steps (the previous owner had simply placed the bottom of the wood stair on bare ground!) and he added to the concrete area underneath the deck that he constructed previously, so I can more easily pull out my trash bins. I totally enjoy working with Miguel and I'll be using him for more projects in the future!
