Get matched with top brick or stone siding: repairers or partially replacers in Alexandria, VA

"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."

"Repair work went very well. I would hire this company again."

"Awesome experience based on the professionalism and timelines of the . double concrete and brick patio beautiful"

"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 hired this company based on reviews from Angie's list.  My experience was a bit different than the A + rating they had.  The answered my call for a quote and arrived on time.  The communicated in Spanish about everything.  We all walked the house together and I pointed out everything that needed painting.  We had a discussion about the master bath, the last words I heard George senior tell me was "we can fix this".  They quoted me a price of $3400.00 and said if I got everything done at once, he would take $200.00 off.  I didn't get other quotes because I just moved in and time was a factor, so I can't really comment on price.  During the week, they dropped of a large paint sample thing to make may choices from.  They arrived early to start the two-day job, a Friday and a Saturday.  They finished the job on Saturday, as promised.  My master bath was not painted, the wood on the steps was not painted, they removed all the drapery hardware and it was tossed out apparently, they took a blind down in the master bedroom and I had to remind many times for them to fix it, they did with crazy glue.  The walls and ceiling are beautiful but the trim is horrible.  I am still painting over spots that were missed or the paint was wiped off when they cleaned the floors.  There was a quarter sized drop of paint on my maple dining room table.  There was a large spot of white trim paint on the colored wall in the hall, but worst of all I continue to clean small spots and areas where there is white paint on the oak floors. They did do me one favor and lift a TV back up above the fireplace that had been taken down for painting. They did leave all the extra paint in the basement, one bucket not closed and has a paint roller floating in it.  The worst thing was them teasing my dogs and getting them agitated and pushing each other towards them and laughing.  Overall, I don't think I had an "A" experience.  Unfortunately I would not recommend them or use them again.

"My project went really well. I was tremendously impressed with owner Vitaliy's knowledge, friendliness, professionalism, responsiveness, and attitude. He made the whole process easy, and was very patient with my questions and whining. I gave the company a C for price because they seem to charge what everyone else charges (I had two or three other quotes). While I don't begrudge them that, I can't exactly say that their price was anything special. Vitaliy pointed out some chimney work that should be done on the house's two chimneys. While I agree with him, it comes back to price. His quote-- which I have no doubt is fair market price-- is just too much money right now, and, in my opinion, far too much money for the job."

"We have used E&R for years to maintain and repair our cedar shake roof. Cleaning and then applying preservative regularly has added years to the life of the roof.They have always done an excellent job. Last year we were not totally happy with the evenness of the preservative/stain application and they reapplied the material to our great satisfaction.The cost may be a little more than some others in the area but with E&R you do indeed get what you pay for. Ed Maurath couldn't have been nicer to work with.

"Positive Energy has a great team of perfectionists who are focused on delivering quality services for a fair price. They performed work at my home during five separate visits and never once attempted to upsell or push any agenda other than delivering on my desired results in the most efficient manner.
They strictly adhered to every written estimate and then over delivered. For example:
- they quoted a price for reducing my air leakage by 2,400 CFM based upon 2 days work and when their initial efforts over those 2 days resulted in a little less than the target reduction they proactively offered to spend another day working toward the goal at no additional charge.
- they hand-crafted a custom insulation box to cover my pull-down attic ladder despite no mention of that in our contract
- they removed an unexpectedly large amount of debris from my attic (including half of a player piano and a queen-sized bed frame that we'd never seen before) and despite being under no obligation to do so also assisted in the hauling and disposal of that debris.
In short - a great team to help assess & address your home's energy efficiency and heating/cooling challenges.

"I contracted with MP Home repair to perform a partial remodeling of my kitchen. I had an old built in island that housed a non-functional second oven I wanted removed. Additionally, I wanted to replace the old gas range and electric oven with an all gas range and oven, and replace the tile, overhead light, and backsplash. Mr. Pena gave me a competitive quote for the labor on the demolition, tile work, and oven installation. He directed me to a nearby tile store, and my wife and I picked out the tile and backsplash we wanted and had it delivered to the house. Mr. Pena got us a 20% discount on the tile, which made the material costs very competitive. We chose a ceramic tile for the floor and glass subway tiles for the backsplash. It was a more expensive product, but the quality and look of the glass is superlative. I found the gas range we wanted arranged to have it delivered. I coordinated with Mr Pena prior to his start date and had everything lined up. Mr Pena arrived on time on the first day, set up drop clothes, and set to work on the demolition. He and his team got everything broken down and out the first day with minimal dust outside of the work area. The next day went very smoothly with the tile and backsplash going in and the existing appliances reinstalled. On the third day, we hit a snag when the gas line out of the wall extended to far into the space where the new range would go. It would require moving the gas line along the interior wall and a cut behind the cut-off valve to be performed by a certified gas plumber. I highlight this as most contractors would have tossed this back in my court to solve. Instead, Mr Pena picked up his phone and made a couple of calls and had someone over later that day. The plumber he referred was professional, efficient, and very reasonable for the same day service. It kept the project on track and fell within my contingency budget. On the fourth day, I decided to up-size the project slightly and passed the installation of the kitchen light and painting over to Mr Pena's team. They did an excellent job, and I thought their paint job was better than the professional painters I had paint the kitchen three years ago. On the fifth and final day, everything was done except for the final installation of the stove. It turned out that I had a range on top of an oven and not a fully integrated unit. The space cut for the range was actually 1/4 inch too short on both sides. Again, Mr Pena made some calls and got a contractor experienced in countertops to come over the next day and look at cutting the countertop in place. They arrived promptly the next day and again for a reasonable price, considering the next day service, made the cuts. On Sunday, Mr. Pena came back to my house first thing in the morning to install the oven and complete some baseboard painting. I've had several positive experiences from the contractors I have used on Angie's list, but I would say MP Home Repair and Mr. Pena are exceptional and in a league of their own. Above all of the normal attributes you would want in a contractor, Mr Pena is effective in solving problems when they arise and doing it efficiently and at a reasonable price through his referral sources. I am definitely going to use him for future jobs, and he'll be my first choice when we look to remodel or downstairs bedroom and bathroom in late 2019."
