Our 8 year old flagstone walk and portico needed mortar repair. We were aghast at the estimates we…read morereceived from two other Frederick masonry contractors who inflated the scope of work to an unnecessary degree along with outrageous cost estimates. Then we called C&G Masonry who promptly returned our call and sent us a reality-based estimate for repairing our flagstone walk. The crew showed up on time and skillfully completed the work. Our walk and portico look fantastic. C&G Masonry is a reliable and honest company with professional masonry workers who are also a pleasure to work with. They are a great resource for homeowners! I would give them six stars if possible.

Aragon was priced right, their crew was considerate, efficient, kind, and did an immaculate clean up. The job was right on schedule and Carlos was very communicative throughout. We even had a big storm blow through mid-project, and I had concerns about the big tarp covering the hole in the wall (where the fireplace was) blowing away from the high winds. Their crew came by within 30 mins and secured everything down. We've called them for inspections a few times since 2021, and we've had zero issues because they do high quality work. Scheduling is easy, Carlos and his team are always on time and always call to give advance notice of their arrival. I'm so glad to have them in our part of town and to support a local business who does truly honest and excellent work.

They charged me $550 to install a new collar and seal it. Soon thereafter the leak continued to occur when it rained. I texted Darrin( the person from XL who did the estimate and the work) and told him the leak was not fixed. He indicated that he was out of town but he would get back to me upon return. When he did not, I called and texted numerous more times but got no return call. I finally had another company, American Professional Chimney & Masonry come out. They indicated that the problem was the chase cover which they replaced and that solved the problem. No more leak.

In a space where trust and quality matter, their team delivered both with professionalism, honesty, and craftsmanship that truly stood out. They were punctual, knowledgeable, incredibly respectful of our home, and took the time to explain everything clearly without ever feeling pushy. What impressed me most was the attention to detail and the pride they take in their work. It's rare to find a company that combines expertise with genuine customer care the way they do. The entire experience felt seamless, and you can tell they've built a reputation in the community for a reason. If you're looking for a company that values integrity, communication, and exceptional work, Bethesda Chimney is absolutely the team to call. Highly recommend.

1-Star Review - Do Not Use Bethesda Chimney - They Took My Money and Ghosted Me…read more I have never written a negative review for any company in my life, but after what happened with Bethesda Chimney, I feel I have to warn others so they don't get ripped off like I did. I called to schedule a simple chimney inspection. They told me I had to Zelle $299 as a deposit just to book the appointment. Against my better judgment, I sent the money directly to the owner, Bryan. They scheduled the appointment for Wednesday afternoon. I waited at home all day -- no one showed up and I never received a single call or text. When I called Bryan, he apologized and rescheduled for noon on Friday. Again, no show and no call. I called him a second time. He then said they could come at 8pm Friday night. I told him that wouldn't work because I had plans starting at 6pm and asked to just cancel the appointment. He immediately said I would lose the $299 deposit. After I pushed back on how ridiculous that was for a service they never provided (or even attempted), he finally agreed to refund it. That was weeks ago. Despite multiple follow-up calls, Bryan has still not returned my $299. The money is simply gone. This company used to be excellent. I previously had them rebuild two chimneys with zero issues -- they were professional and did great work. When I asked Bryan what happened, he admitted they have "a lot of new people now." **Bottom line:** Do NOT send any deposit to Bethesda Chimney, especially not via Zelle. They may show up for bigger jobs, but for scheduling even a basic inspection, it appears they have no problem taking your money and disappearing. Consider this your warning.
