Blue Collar Scholars Completely Transformed Our Home -- 5 Stars Isn't Enough!…read more We had an outstanding experience with Blue Collar Scholars on two projects -- a stone porcelain patio and a stone front walkway with a sitting wall -- and I would absolutely recommend them. From the initial planning through final completion, the entire process was professional, organized, and transparent. The pricing was very reasonable for the quality of work, everything stayed on schedule, and both projects were completed in approximately three weeks. One thing that was especially important to us was working with a properly licensed and fully insured contractor. Blue Collar Scholars gave us confidence that the work was being handled by a professional company that takes responsibility, safety, and quality seriously. Doug Brzezinski and Andrea Ortega were excellent to work with throughout the process. Communication was clear, expectations were well managed, and we always felt that the project was in good hands. A special recognition goes to Ulises, who was truly the architect and mastermind behind the work on-site. His experience, attention to detail, and craftsmanship were outstanding. Just as importantly, he provided thoughtful and trustworthy advice throughout the project. Rather than simply doing what was easiest, he took the time to explain options and recommend what he believed would produce the best long-term result. That level of integrity and expertise really stood out. The six-man crew -- Ulises, Abner, both Samuels, Angel, and Gabriel -- was exceptional. They arrived on time, worked incredibly hard every day, were polite and respectful, and clearly took great pride in their work. It was impressive to see how efficiently and professionally the entire crew worked together. Service Requested: Stone porcelain patio and stone walkway with sitting wall Quality: Outstanding craftsmanship and attention to detail Value: Excellent -- very reasonably priced for the quality of work and service The transformation of our property is remarkable. The new patio, walkway, and sitting wall look fantastic, and I am confident this work will add significantly more value to our home than what we invested in the project. Professional people, excellent workmanship, fair pricing, trustworthy advice, and an exceptionally hardworking crew. Blue Collar Scholars delivered on everything they promised. I would definitely use them again and highly recommend Doug, Andrea, Ulises, Abner, both Samuels, Angel, Gabriel, and the entire Blue Collar Scholars team.

I hired them to fix our back patio grout which was coming out and had holes in it. They didn't schedule a time and showed up one day with a bunch of workers. Unprofessional, but ok, we went with it. Once they were finished he demanded payment, when I pointed out issues he got visibly angry and started yelling at me. Said he "wasn't god." I had to go, because remember, this was an unplanned visit. He followed me until I told him I would be back in a few hours. When I would point out issues he said it looked great and there was nothing to worry about. The only thing he was willing to do was clean the stone, which does nothing for the grout. He also upsold us on a driveway replacement, which I regret now as he was very pushy and we probably didn't need it. I can honestly say that it's worse now that they've done the work. I tried to get a refund and they refused. It's questionable whether they are even licensed in Virginia.

They were thorough with rinsing and set everything up in a way that allowed for proper drying, which gave me a lot of confidence in the quality of the work.
