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.

Well, I am finally getting around to writing this long-overdue review for Byron and his Artistic…read moreMasonry Contractor business; I have been putting this task off for the past two months because I have been overly busy! I first encountered this company when they promptly provided an estimate for repair of my driveway stone wall back in late 2018, after an errant new UPS driver had come up the driveway and managed to bang up the stone wall. Then, two months ago, in September, a rogue Amazon Delivery Flex gig driver, driving a private car, chose to ignore all of the many professional highway-quality metal signs at the bottom of the driveway warning that no delivery vehicles are allowed up my driveway, and that instead, they should park down at the bottom of the driveway, near the road, and then walk up the stairwell and path to bring any packages to the front porch. Well, this rogue Amazon Flex driver did a lot of damage to the stone wall surrounding the driveway during her illegal foray up the driveway, and when Amazon passed the insurance claim over to their insurance claims handler, I once again asked Artistic Masonry for an estimate, which Byron provided in PDF file format. The claims adjuster approved the claim immediately, and within two weeks, Byron came by in his truck and did a very good job in repairing the damaged stone wall; I was very impressed with his work. Well, a few days ago, yet another rogue Amazon Delivery driver, this time one driving one of those large dark grey Amazon Prime vans, chose to ignore the numerous warning signs in place at the bottom of the driveway, and, totally illegally, drove up the driveway. In very short order, he managed to hit and badly damage not one, but two different spots on my driveway wall, with the spots about 10 feet apart from each other. The rogue Amazon Delivery driver then fled the scene of the accident (just as the last driver of two months ago had done) without reporting the accident and damage to me (I was home, and watching the entire scene unfold from an upstairs window), nor to the police. So, in short order, Amazon again approved the new damage claim, and passed it off to their insuance claims adjuster a few days ago. So, at about 3 AM this morning (I get up very early to start my day...!) I sent Byron at Artistic Masonry an email, describing the accident and the damage sites, and attaching to the email four photos of the damaged areas. Byron responded to me promptly, within an hour, and he reports that he will be coming to visit my driveway later today, after which he will send me an estimate in PDF file format via email. I am looking forward to seeing Byron do this new repair job over the next few weeks, because he does very good work! I am now working on even newer and more sophisticated methods -- using video cameras plus outdoor LED signs, and perhaps armed snipers as well as land mines -- to keep errant criminal Amazon Delivery drivers from driving up my driveway and causing damage!
