They even fit me in before Christmas ahead of schedule. Wasn't cheap but considering amount of work done I think it's been totally worth it. We've enjoyed several fires during this abnormally cold winter. Would recommend this company they know what they're doing.

I called again so that I could make an appointment for the work they said need to be done on the outside of our Chimney. Still waiting for a response. This is something that has to be done in warmer weather because of the bricks and outside Chimney work. I will update my review when the job is completed. Which includes setting up an appointment for the additional work need outside of my Chimney with the brick work. I do appreciate their honesty about for safety reasons to not use the fireplace.

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.

They matched the mortar color perfectly and it looks great. What an improvement!. Now I only wonder why I didn't get it done it sooner. The price was reasonable, and the communication about the scheduling and price was very easy. Despite their best efforts to get the work done early, it rained on the wet concrete at the end of the second day. They came back early the next morning to fix the damaged cement so it blends perfectly with the rest of the porch cement. Very conscientious. It was clear that everyone on the crew was diligent and fastidious about the details, and they really wanted it to look good and last a long time.

The latest project involved…read moretransforming my "nothing" of a backyard lawn into a dramatic lower patio and driveway turnaround (so I no longer have to back into a blind alley!) 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!

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.

We now have the best patio in our DC neighborhood, our drainage problems are nonexistent and we are able to host gatherings very easily with tons of fun! They provided options for a stone patio, paver patio, and a brick patio. Obviously, as you can see in the pictures, we went with the brick! I love the timeless look, and I think it goes really well with the rest of our yard and the look of our home. Special shout out to their Forman Erick and his two assistants!

The other contractor on Yelp didn't have the proper insurance when we were going through HOA submission and just kept dragging us along even after they started the work. We went through weeks of searching for companies and most companies didn't have the actual proper insurance and license to work in Virginia. Once blue collar scholars took over, the job got on track and communication was perfect. During the permitting, inspection scheduling, framing, and finishing portions of the job. We now have a custom gazebo and a full Trex deck that our whole family loves during the spring, summer and fall months. When it is warm in the winter, we are also out on it as well. This job was completed in the summer of 2023 and we are now using them for some interior work.
