We hired Ramirez Brick Repair for two masonry projects, and the quality of the work was outstanding both times. The first project involved repointing our heavily deteriorated front porch brick steps. Javier and his team carefully restored the brickwork, matched the mortar beautifully, and made the steps look solid and refreshed again. The second project was a complete restoration of our flagstone patio, including removing and replacing all of the old mortar and resetting the stones. The patio now looks fantastic and is level, clean, and professionally finished. Throughout both projects, the team was reliable, hardworking, detail oriented, and respectful of our property. It's clear they take pride in their craftsmanship. We're extremely happy with the results and would absolutely recommend Ramirez Brick Repair to anyone needing masonry or stonework repairs. read more

I hired Javier and his crew to repoint and repair a deteriorating brick wall behind my townhouse. They were extremely skilled and manually repaired each brick and mortar in between. The workmanship was exceptional. They carried away all of the debris and the quote was reasonable. I highly recommend! read more

I am leaving a follow-up review (with video) regarding Mr. Ramirez's poor work quality (I left a previous review last November 2025). As the Fall set in last year, my bricks started to turn white. I called Mr. Ramirez about this issue repeatedly and he stated that it was the mortar used and that he needed to replace the mortar. PLEASE WATCH THIS VIDEO. Mr. Ramirez cannot be trusted. I paid him $6K and this is what my stairs look like! Not only are the bricks scratched, he used inferior materials. Given the fact that Mr. Ramirez lacks integrity, I requested a full refund. Mr. Ramirez has refused to respond to my calls and texts. Now, I will have to take him to DC Small Claims Court to get my money back. Honestly, I don't think Mr. Ramirez respects Black women. While he was working on my stairs, I brought him, his colleague, and his mother AND father hearty lunches--for several days. And this is how I am treated. I will receive JUSTICE in Court. Shameful! read more

Javier and his team did an amazing job with our masonry. If you are looking for someone to repair your bricks, you should go with Ramirez Brick Repair Services! I needed to get out stairs fixed because we had a lot of loose bricks from aging + usual weather wear and tear. I compared a lot of options on Yelp, and this team provided the best estimate among the ones I contacted. They got the job done in a day, which was an extremely difficult one that required taking out all of the bricks on the steps and putting them back in. They are extremely professional and hard workers. They were outside working on the bricks the whole day, and I couldn't be happier with the results! read more

Our front steps consist of about 240 visible bricks with ~10 of them falling out of place and much of the grout pitted or missing! Ramirez Brick did a 100% grout replacement and reseated/replaced all failing bricks. For a great price, and 3-4 people to complete the job in less than one day! Definitely bring them back for other jobs. Thank you so much! read more

Reworked our front brick doorstep which had fallen apart. Did a great job in one day and cleaned up like no one had ever been there

Javier and his crew did an excellent job on our large brick chimney that had not been repaired since the 50s. It had a subtle leak that was causing unsightly mold to grow on the inside. They did the top part in 2019 (as the lowest bidders), and it didn't fully resolve the problem. He suggested then that we call him back to do the rest. We got the bottom part repointed-repaired in early 2024, and he gave us a returning customer discount. His crew was here for 3 full days of work, replaced 12 bricks, and it looks excellent now. His crew does high-quality work for a very reasonable price (they again came under the lowest bid we received from other companies). We are very happy with the work they did on this large job, and would whole-heartedly recommend them to future customers. read more

Javier is an amazing mason - he also has a team of talented people who love and know this craft. Masonry is not an easy thing is learn but it is even harder thing to do right. I live in a historic neighborhood in DC and the city has very strict standards on how brick pointing is done on the front of the house. Javier knew what the steps were that needed to be taken and he did it very well. He also helped me with a retaining wall on one of my properties that was leaning over. Every project that he has done for me has been the highest standard of care and precision. I would caution though that Javier is a very busy guy - and as his business continues to take off he may not have as much time to take on a project. He cares a lot and will speak to you on the phone to give you the best and most precise information possible. I would not hesitate to hire Javier again in the future. On a side note he also has skills doing waterproofing - when there was constant leaks on the front of my house he knew what to do and did it right. He dug into the footer put in the perforated pipes, gravel, and a barrier between my wall and our retaining wall. I have had no problems since he did the waterproofing. I am looking forward to see how it stands when there is a heavy rain storm. When there was an issue with the project he immediately came back and remedied it. read more

A 60+ year old brick retaining wall was collapsing. After talking to several contractors, I called Ramirez Brick and am so glad I did. Javier and his team were phenomenal! They responded quickly and provided a very fair price quote, did an excellent job rebuilding the entire brick wall (complete with cinder block, rebar and concrete backing) and cleaned it all up beautifully. I would highly recommend and won't hesitate to call in them again if I have future brick work. read more

Incredible response time, great work, and good service. I needed to have a crawlspace access sealed off with cinderblock.

I have attached a picture of their work (after I painted it). read more

Javier helped me with a tuck-pointing for an outdoor brick stairs. He was very responsive compared to everyone else I reached out to. He was at my house on the same day that I contacted him to get an estimate and his team started working the next day. His team did a great job with the tuck-pointing. The stairs looked much better once they were done. Overall, it was a great experience working with Javier and his team. I would happily engage them again on future projects. read more

Their team did an excellent job repairing the brick at the upper portion of my chimney and near the foundation in the back of my home. The chimney required building a scaffolding which they carefully set up around the plants on the side of my home. Brick work is by nature dusty and messy but they kept things very clean and washed everything down when they completed their work. The price was appropriate to - in my view. Overall I would highly recommend them! read more

Very nice work! Made sure to explain different options/price points and didn't pressure for a quick decision. Worked quick and efficiently and cleaned up everything when done. read more

You can stop looking, you've found your mason! Javier is professional, incredibly patient, efficient, and a great communicator. Someone drove into my brick fence! I requested a quote from Javier after the accident. He came by my house and provided a very reasonable, written quote in two days. In coordinating with the perpetrator, their insurance company and mine, I wasn't able to sign a contract for the work until a few weeks later, but Javier was very patient and stayed in communication. Once we signed, it only took him 2 days' repairs, plus 1 morning to do a cleaning once dried! As you can see from the pics, he did a wonderful job. Plus, I had a small tile job inside which he repaired quickly and beautifully while he was there. The amount I paid was exactly what he quoted. Phenomenal service! read more

I am thoroughly happy with the services from Ramirez Brick Repair. Javier was timely and courteous about contacting me and scheduling. He was easy to work with and accommodated my busy schedule and the weather. He was prompt and reliable, always calling back when he said he would, showed up on time, and the job took exactly as long as he said it would. He quoted me a firm fixed price and the job was accomplished at that price. He acquired matching bricks, and it took only a week. At the end of the job, he took away all the debris and thoroughly cleaned the job site. Our job was a small but important one. We had brick planters on a concrete patio. We had been removing the planters with a sledgehammer and unexpectedly discovered that the planters had been integrated with the house brick. Our house's brick had the additional problem that the brick tended to chip off and fall apart due to poor quality bricks at construction 60 years ago. The chipping brick problem was especially bad, it turned out, behind the planters. As part of removing the brick planters, we had created a crevasse in the exterior of the house. I hired Javier to come in and remove the last bits of the brick planter and repair the brick. He replaced the chipped brick. In the attached "after" picture, there is an illusion that the house is now bowed out to the left, but that is only because Javier placed concrete between the house and the soil, to prevent water intrusion on the below-grade brick. The edge is in fact straight. read more

I needed by brick walkway repaired after another contractor pulled up rows to do perform some work underneath. I reach out the Ramirez Brick Repair for a quote. Javier was super responsive, getting back to me within an hour. After sending him some pictures, he let me know he stopped by that day to look at what needed to be done and I had a quote by midday. He was able to perform the repairs the very next morning where he arrived bright and early and performed the work in no time flat. He even gave me some maintenance tips and things to look out for when having a brick walkway. And on top of all that his prices were super reasonable. I highly recommend his services. read more

Apparently too busy to take on my project. It's kind of shocking to read the reviews and how responsive and receptive the owner was only to find out he came over to my home spent over two hours to look at my project, informed me he would get back to me the next day with a price, now week later still no price and after me calling him, he informed me he's too busy to take on work. Really!?! So basically when times are slow you're Eager to take on new work and responsive, but when Business is going well you're too busy to provide a proposal and take on more work??? You're too busy to provide an estimate--poor business practice. read more

We highly recommend Javier and Ramirez Brick Repair. I called Javier on a Saturday morning. He came out at noon the same day and gave me an estimate. We agreed on the estimate and he came back out a couple of days later to do the job. We had loose brick pavers on our front stoop and places where the old mortar was just gone. Javier and his team did an excellent job replacing the broken bricks and repairing the stoop. Javier then came back to my house the following Saturday to clean the bricks which was included in the original repair cost. Javier is a very good brick mason and we would definitely call him again. read more

Javier from Ramirez Brick was wonderful to work with. He was responsive and had a competitive bid for our project.

We would absolutely hire Ramirez Brick again for any future projects. read more

WOW! Javier and his team did a MIRACULOUS job on repairing the column of my brick fence in which was knocked down by a vehicle. Javier came out and gave me a VERY reasonable estimate to replace the column. Which was the best estimate that I had received. He followed up with the same estimate in writing, and a couple of weeks later we were ready to get this job done. After the work was complete, I was left in disbelief. It looked like the column had never been damaged, and I know it was a challenge to repair. Nevertheless, the workmanship Javier and his team displayed was nothing less than remarkable! I still look out of the window often and cannot believe how EXCELLENT of a job they did. I also asked Javier input on "touching up" my brick stairs. He was very knowledge in telling me what needed to be done. Needless to say, I had the team work on my brick stairs as well. Another great job! They cleaned up all debris as they went along with each job which took 2 days and on the 3rd day they came back to treat my brick stairs. Javier has proven to be a honest, professional, friendly and trustworthy contractor. His team was also very pleasant. I have referred Javier to my brother, and others. I will DEFINITELY be contacting him for ALL future brick work. I am so thankful that I found Ramirez Brick Repair Services, and had the pleasure of working with Javier and his team. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!! read more

My front brick steps needed repair as I had several bricks damaged and had some weeds growing through the cracks. I reached out to numerous companies and found Javier through our Neighborhood Contractor's list. He was quick to respond and stopped by to give an estimate that day for repointing and replacing several damaged bricks. He scheduled me that week taking in account some upcoming rainy days. His team was able to repoint and replace several bricks in about a few hours. He came back a week later to power wash the front steps. He and his team did a great job and looks like new. He perfectly matched the bricks because I honestly can't tell the new bricks from the old bricks. read more

Javier is honest, reliable, and very reasonably priced. Good attention to detail and good communication. He also goes the extra mile when it comes to customer service. We had a leak issue about 5 months after his initial work and the solution actually had nothing to do with his handiwork but he repaired it free of charge anyway. Highly recommend! read more

They repaired some concrete steps at my house for $400. Very unresponsive when I tried to schedule the work and did a no show when they were scheduled to do the job. Not sure why I agreed to let them do the repair after all that but I did (I didn't feel like getting another estimate I guess for a smaller job). They did the work but destroyed some flowers I just planted and badly damaged an azalea Bush I have. You can definitely do better then these guys. read more

I had Ramirez Brick Repair Services repoint our brick front walkway, fix some brick columns, and straighten out some brick pavers in our side yard. They did a terrific job. They took out all the bricks in the front walkway and put a sturdy foundation underneath so the bricks on the side wouldn't sink again and they put new mortar in between the bricks. My front walkway looks brand new. They also did a great job fixing some brick columns in our side yard that had some difficult to remove grey material (from when my husband tried to fix the columns himself) on it. They removed the gray material and fixed the columns the right way. They also straightened some brick pavers for me all in one day. Everything looks so much better. I highly recommend them! read more

I reached out to have an estimate done last Monday. He told me he would go to the house same day and give me a quote. I didn't hear back from him so I followed up on Wednesday.

Javier and his crew did excellent work rebuilding one side of a retaining wall that had fallen into disrepair, and repointing the other side. He was a pleasure to deal with - very responsive and communicative from start to finish. He came out for an estimate right away, and walked me through the different repair options, and gave me an (accurate) idea of how long the job would take. His estimate was lower than others', and he really took the the time to strategize the repair work. (Others just glanced at the wall and quoted me a price, whereas with Javier I knew exactly what he was planning.) When the bottom third of the wall ended up not needing to be rebuilt because it was already properly fortified, he adjusted the price accordingly. I'm very pleased with the great service and recommend Ramirez Brick Repair Service without hesitation. read more
