I received estimates from 5 contractors, some for timber replacement, some for block. A natural look was important to me, and I seriously considered timber, but timber today won't last 30 years (due to restrictions on using arsenic). The Solid Brick Contracting initial bid was pretty much the same price as timber, and acceptable in anyone's book, but when I told Oscar I was leaning toward timber because of the more natural look, he showed me the stacked stone EP Henry product. I have 2 other stacked stone and mortared stacked stone walls, and looking at photos, I thought the EP Henry product might actually look pretty good, even against those, and it does. There were some rain delays, but workmanship, design, professionalism, were all excellent. No cost over-run, and they had the proper equipment for the job. What exceeded expectations was the beautiful long sweep of a gently curved wall. Can't do that with timber. It was a substantial project, but I am really happy with the result.

Solid Brick Contracting did an amazing job of replacing a railroad tie retaining wall with EP Henry interlocking blocks. They were on budget, on time, courteous, did an excellent job with cleanup, and the new wall and steps look absolutely amazing - and will for many years to come. I highly recommend Oscar and his crew for your exterior hardscaping, patio, and paver projects!

Oscar replaced 2 wood retaining walls in our backyard. The work was completed as planned and was done in a timely manner. The job was not simple since some of the old wall needed to be removed by hand due to the close proximity to our deck. We had one minor adjustment that was needed after the work was completed. Oscar responded quickly and made the adjustment. We would definitely recommend Solid Brick Contracting!

We hired Solid Brick Contracting to do a fairly large outdoor paver patio, which also needed a stone retaining wall, concrete pad for a future hot tub, and a long walkway around the back of the house. Oscar and his company were extremely professional, on time, courteous, and had great attention to detail. The finished project has exceeded our expectations and we would recommend them to anyone.

The project did not go well at all and I would not use this company again. I also do not recommend it! Poor workmanship with no attention to details. The owner ensured us about WOW end effect but in the result we had to file multiple claims with BBB and MHIC. There are multiple fixes and replacements that were not addressed for over a year now. The staff has a very low knowledge that actually caused damage to property.

"Am sorry that you feel this way but the accusations that you are making are false . It’s true we did replace pool cooping that did not needed to be replaced but we still did because we want to make you happy . Ep Henry representatives came out and agreed that your pavers are totally fine Plus ep Henry also paid you back money for settlement. I am very professional the way I run my company but there is no way to please you . Plus your husband Greg [Member Name Removed] already wrote us a terrible Review couple months ago and it’s illegal for both husband and wife to be writing reviews . We will assure that Angies list remove this review from our profile."

We are so happy and delighted with our new retaining wall. We had several quotes and were definitely pleased with the quote received along with researching the company which is family owned by the way helped us make our decision with choosing Solid Brick Contracting. We had delays in the process due to weather but ultimately the wait was worth it. We have never received so many compliments on our house as we have received due to the retaining wall. Well worth the weight , the price and Oscar was very pleasant and so was his crew. Get a quote and get your next project done by Solid Brick Contracting LLC.

Despite COVID-19 related delays with materials and inspector availability, the deck installation was completed within the estimated time after work was able to begin. The deck passed all inspections and is a great addition to my home.

Oscar and Solid Brick Contracting, LLC have done several projects at my current home and my previous residence. The first project he completed for me was a new bluestone walkway and irrigation system 7 years ago at my old house. This past summer, Oscar has repointed the bluestone/flagstones around the pool and front entrance (which includes walkway, stairs and landing), reset pavers along the walkway to the pool, and built 3 large retaining walls. I have additional projects that he is going to undertake this fall. Oscar is very easy to work with. After understanding our goals and specifications for each project, he provides guidance in the type of construction and materials that would work the best. He is also always available by phone/text. He either answers right away or returns the call promptly. The two large retaining walls required custom stones and configurations which he designed and implemented perfectly. He also was forthcoming if additional planning from an engineer would be necessary or permits be required. When we planned for the custom wall, he also was clear that the stones might be difficult to find and not an exact match. He searched multiple quarries and found what we needed. I was happy he did not give up after going to the first quarry. Regarding the job itself. Pros 1. Oscar understands hardscaping and what works best. 2. The crew is polite and respectful. 3. Once the job is done the site is very clean. All the dirt is swept up and garbage removed. 4. During the job the equipment was typically organized and out of the way. 5. Once the work starts, the job progresses quickly. 6. The project looks great! Cons 1. Oscar is busy. I suppose this is not a true con but if you are looking forward to a nice patio with a fire pit and retaining wall you might have to wait a short period of time. It is worth it!

This went to home advisor: Google photos recently sent me images of what we did 1, 2, 3, and 4 years ago etc. It reminded me of when Oscar and his team installed our walkways and patio. We had issues with our old one that needed leveling annually and had puddles after rain storms. The mulch would run off from the flower beds onto the walkways and patio. Weeds were growing from the spaces and needed constant attention. So we had many concerns. Oscar assured us that he and his team had the experience, knowledge and skills to address all our concerns. From our first contact with Oscar, he exhibited a professional and caring attitude, listening to our wants and needs and developing a plan that we loved and a price that was exceptionally competitive. His team were polite and respectful and the yard was cleaned at the end of each day. No surprises! We had interviewed 3 other contractors and were glad we chose Oscar. I am not one to write ongoing reviews but after four years I still get a very satisfying feeling when I look at how well our project turned out and held up. No more wobbling table and chairs, no puddling, and no weeds to deal with! All our needs met. Oscar rocks!

Horrible, I wouldn't recommend Oscar Padilla and Solid Brick Contracting to anyone. The project started off fine, but once issues starting coming up, incorrect cuts, paver problems, forgot to lay down paver fabric, pool coping mistakes, that's when things got really bad. If you have him do your pool coping don't even think of hiring him, they are not experienced with pools at all. Oscar shows lack of professionalism and a really bad attitude. Oscar literally screamed "God **** it" two different times at me and my wife when we pointed out mistakes by his crew. No one screams like that at my wife ,he did apologize for that but his attitude was still very bad after that. He had to redo the pool coping twice due to major mistakes by his team, and it still has issues that he didn't come out to replace after almost 3 months. ,I would post pictures of all the problems but I don't see an option here on Angies list. While trying to get these issues resolved, he cancelled roughly 5 times on us since he was paid him initially and its still not fixed. Him and his crew have NO attention to detail, very poor workmanship. Lastly, on the final day we noticed defects with the pavers, and we reported the problem to him ( He told us wait a day or so and it will come off with soap and water, it never came off) and the manufacture. Fast forward 2 months, the manufacture agreed to send out replacement pavers at no cost, but Solid Brick Contracting expects me the customer to pay twice for labor. The manufacture stated that Oscar Padilla should of never put these pavers down since they were defective. Bottom line is do not hire Oscar Padilla and Solid Brick Contracting, the price may seem good at first, but the unprofessional-ism, lack of quality, and failure to respond once the job has been paid for is unacceptable.

The job did not go well and the contractor has not made all of the corrections that he agreed to make - bury the wires, properly install and fix non-working lights so water drained away from and out of light fixtures. He started the job in May 2019 and after multiple excuses completed it in July 2019. There were issues with the lights and wires that we reported to the contractor, but he did not respond until we filed a complaint and gave him bad ratings on several sights. In October 2019, against better judgement, we agreed to work with him to get the work corrected. While doing some of the corrections, his employees stripped the holes, in the light, for the screws, which required us to buy 10 new lights. In addition, his employees damaged the driveway. driveway was The contractor agreed to reimburse us for the lights, fix the driveway, and return to complete the corrections, but he has failed to do so - it is now October 2020.

"I am sorry you feel this way but we did came out twist to work on your lights and they still did not work properly because of poor quality. We are still willing to pay you for the lights but there is nothing els we can do to make them work . They are pool quality lights that you purchase."

Oscar did a great job from beginning to end. He worked with me on the price, he finished on schedule and on budget, his crew was excellent and clean-up was great. The finished product was beautiful and we are very happy with the quality of his work and the level of responsibility with which he approached the job. His communication was great and we were able to address unforeseen details painlessly and effectively. I recommend him without reservation and would definitely hire him again if needed.

Great job, I can’t say anything negative about this company work. I had him put in a patio in my back yard and fix my front steps and put a retainer wall around my tree and in front of the house for flower bed price was pricey but worth it as they say you get what you pay for excellent service. Everything looks great. I will give an update next year if anything falls apart but at this time I recommend his service.

They were fantastic to work with. We had a old sinking cracked cement sidewalk and front porch. They totally ripped it out and built us a new walkway and expanded our front porch 5’ using brick and bluestone. It is STUNNING. The crew has some serious talent. They showed up every day on time and worked hard and cleaned up each night. Everything lived up to our expectations and more. The owner Oscar was fantastic to work with. He was patient with all our questions and attentive to the work being done. I highly recommend them to anyone!!

The garden and patio paving look fantastic. The jobs were completed in 4 days and the workers were very courteous and hard working. At the end of each day, the workers cleaned up the worksite. These are the second and third times that Solid Brick Contracting has done work for us and we are extremely pleased with their services and professionalism.

The combined projects exceeded my expectations. I am very happy with the final products. The retaining wall was to replace and existing failing wall. The wall needed to stabilize a hill and the pool decking located at the top of the hill. At the initial consultation, Oscar provided the design and the placement of the new wall. The final wall is great looking, larger than initially designed (at no additional cost) and has increased the usable parts of my yard. Solid Brick Contracting also replaced the concrete pool decking at the top of the hill. The final area that they worked on was my 14 x 20 brick patio. The patio was an old patio with dirt between the bricks. Solid Brick reworked the existing bricks to make them level and drain properly. Once the bricks were in place, they repointed the bricks with concrete. The patio went from a weed infested muddy mess, to a clean solid surface. I am very happy with the work Solid Brick Contracting completed. I am planning on using them again in the future.

Oscar & his company are the best in town. I sell residential real estate throughout the Baltimore metro area. I meet a lot of contractors and see their craftsmanship daily. I had an idea for my back yard yet Oscar came out and made it a reality. His crew was professional, organized and detail oriented throughout the whole process. He met timelines and transform my backyard. I’d recommend him to anyone looking for a patio or brick work.

Oscar Padilla and his crew were nothing short of exceptional. I had over 1,600 EP Henry pavers installed and they also designed walk ways, fire pits and an outdoor bar. Oscar was very communicative throughout the process and my wife and I could not be happier with how everything turned out. The crew cleaned up and made sure they kept everything looking as good as possible during the process. From the outdoor lights, to the retaining walls, we would highly recommend Solid Brick Contracting to anyone and everyone!!

Oscar Padilla and his crew completed the job in under two days and created a handsome curved, stepped wall at the crest of a steep slope. Then they graded the soil on either side of the wall. They also rolled three large boulders into the yard without using any heavy equipment. Oscar and his crew were punctual and easy to work with and we would recommend them and hire them again.
