Get matched with top brick or stone siding: installers or completely replacers in Alexandria, VA

"We were very pleased with the work that was completed by International Brick & Concrete. Rigo and his team worked for 2 full days replacing cracked mortar on stone walkways and securing loose slate on patio walls. They paid attention to detail and mixed the new mortar so that it would look similar to the aged seams. It was exactly what we had hoped for! I would definitely recommend International Brick & Concrete."

"I have a house with circa 1890's brick and mortar that once had seashells in it. David Ricard gave me a fair estimate to fill in mortar where a house brick was party broken by a telecom company and where some mortar fell out from an area a larger masonry company had repointed a few years before. David and his brother showed up on time, did the work in a reasonable amount of time, and cleaned up after. He showed that he understands different kinds of brick and the mortar required. I wish I had known about David before I hired that other company a few years before because the larger company didn't do a particularly good repointing job. I have upcoming mortar work needed on my front walkway and will be calling David for that repair. I would definitely hire him again and recommend him to others."

"I had used this company previously and found them to be exceptionally responsive. They had shown me a video of cracks in my chimney cap and replaced the cap expeditiously. The tech had dislodged a screw during the first fireplace cleaning and couldn't find the screw, or one suitable to replace it, disabling my glass screen. The company replaced the affected fireplace screen door without charge. Thus, I called upon this company to clean the chimney again this year. As this was a routine cleaning, I have nothing extraordinary to report, except that the tech showed up on time and was very professional. Also, I have a second floor laundry room and he cleaned the dryer vent from outside the house, which I believe is more effective than cleaning it from inside the house, which another company did. Finally, they called to schedule immediately after I purchased the Big Deal - I mean that day within an hour or so! I would definitely hire this company again."

"I purchased a roof inspection and tune-up theough Angie’s list. I was contacted quickly to set up the appointment and provided a reminder prior thereto. The technician was Mike G. who called about 10 minutes before arrival. He explained what he would do, then proceeded to inspect the attic and roof, making some repairs to the roof as necessay. When completed, we sat down to review pictures and discuss options. Mike G. explained things clearly but did not pressure us to do anything at this time. When the time comes to repair or replace the roof, we will definitely contact American Home Contractors."

I contacted George's Painting because of all the great reviews on Angie's List and am very happy that I did. I at first contacted them via email and received a prompt reply saying George would be out at 10:00 am on a Monday. I emailed back that that would be a good time for me. At 10:30 no one had come so I found a cell phone number for George who answered immediately and apologized and offered to come right away, which he did. He had not gotten the message about the 10:00 am appointment, which can happen when others are involved. George arrived and quickly understood what we needed done: we have 5 dormer windows that all had rotted wood around the glass as well as the sidesf. George suggested replacing it with PVC which will last many times longer than wood, and I was thrilled with that idea. He also suggested PVC for the outside frame of our little garage door, which had rotted away. He discussed using the highest quality Sherwin Williams paint, as well as washing the siding which had never been washed before. I was concerned that a power wash would take the paint off of our 30 year old siding but he said it wouldn't and he was right. I had had another company on Angie's list (the same company who had painted our house about 6 years ago) give me an estimate a week before and they never offered to wash the siding, only the mildewed part that they would paint. The other company said I could wash the siding myself and never offered to replace the rotted wood with PVC. They wanted to do what they had done the last time they were out which was to fill it with bondo or wood putty.  George repeated many times that they would make the house beautiful and do whatever it took to make it that way. He explained that first a crew would come out to wash the house, then another crew of carpenters to find and replace all the rotted wood, then another crew to scrape and paint. I did mention that I would like the window sills and any other surface sanded, not just scraped, but unfortunately this did not happen. I think they would have if I had asked them to but I assumed they would since I had mentioned it to George. However, the final painting job looks very good, although the little garage door really should have been sanded. However, this was the only minor thing that happened that I feel could have been done better.

The guys that washed the house were extremely careful and used a low pressure wash to methodically squirt every piece of siding from top to bottom. They did not miss one spot and I cannot believe how beautiful and clean the house came out. I even joked that now it did not need painting since it truly looked clean and fresh just from the chlorox wash. They were able to get all of the green off and every speck of black mildew, even under the eaves. These guys spent half a day just doing this.

The next work day, the carpenter Joel came and tested every piece of wood for rot. Wherever there was rot, he removed it all and cut a precise piece of PVC from the large sheets and long framing lengths he brought with him. He had all of the right equipment and was very good at measuring and cutting. He honestly worked for 5 full days and replaced twice as much as I thought there was to be replaced. I even called George and said I didn't know there was so much rot and I expected to pay more than the estimate because Joel was truly finding more - including window sills and the undersides of our mansard roof. George said he would charge just for the extra material they had to buy, which is what he did.

The next week, a large crew came and George showed me the Emerald Brand of Sherwin Williams paint and the two kinds of caulking they would be using on the house. He also pointed out that he first put primer on, then the paint, and didn't just use paint with primer in it. I had been worried about the caulking because I know that that is as important as paint for protecting against moisture, and the guys came through. Every gap was found and caulked with new white caulking appropriate for the material (siding, brick, or wood) that needed to be caulked. They must have had 6 tubes of caulking for our house. The guys worked from 7:00 am until 4:00 pm and finished in one day. George even surprised me by showing me a gallon of paint he had had especially mixed to paint our brown shutters and front door! I had not even asked for this, thinking we would just paint the white trim, and at first I was reluctant because I didn't think painting plastic shutters was a good idea, but George tested a small sample and I was sold. When the painting was all finished, the shutters and front door turned out to be the Piece de resistance! It made our house look 20 years younger and as fresh as a model home.

We couldn't be happier with the painting job.

"After a very successful home energy renovation in 2013, we hired Positive Energy Construction again this year to replace the roof on our townhouse. I met with Patrick Michaelyan the day before work began, so we could review and sign the contract. I really appreciate the honesty and transparency in Patrick's pricing. His contract explained exactly what he would do and how much it would cost. Each day of work, Patrick arrived promptly at 7:30 AM and started immediately. He had two helpers for part of the time, but did much of the job himself.

Our existing roof was in terrible condition, so it took a while to remove all the shingles and underlayment. He also had to replace two rotted boards of roof decking. Fortunately, Patrick's best feature is that he is absolutely meticulous, both in his work and his use of top quality materials. He took great care removing the existing roof, then installing the Ice and Water Shield, drip edge, underlay, pipe boots, architectural shingles and the ridge vent. In the end, Patrick worked four consecutive 12-hour days to complete the job, and the final product is spectacular. This is the quality of roof you would expect to find on a brand new, multi-million dollar home.

I'm very satisfied with how this project turned out, and I'm glad we chose Positive Energy Construction. It was definitely the best value for the money."

"They came out and inspected the roof and provided a report with photos on the roofs condition. They gave an estimate for repair and replacement.  We went 2with repair and clen.  Work was done on time except for some weather delays. They arenea t and professional and  the roof looks grea t.
