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

"Excellent, excellent, excellent! Rigo was outstanding. First, he came and looked at the job and later took some brick samples to match them with bricks that he would buy for the job. He found bricks that matched almost perfectly after going to several places (above and beyond the call!). Then, he noticed that some of my railing was rotting away, so I asked him if he knew someone to come and fix that before he fixed the bricks. He did and that contractor also did an excellent job! Rigo then came and fixed the bricks and did an excellent job. Thank goodness that he noticed the rotting railing; otherwise, I would have had to redo the bricks because the railing was bad. The whole job worked out well and he was the lowest bidder! I highly, highly recommend him for your job!"

"The reviews do not lie! David Ricard and his team are true pros. I called them out to do repointing work on the brick on our home. Not only were they quick to respond and showed up to do the estimate the next day, their pricing was reasonable and they were efficient in their work. If you have any masonry job you need, save some time and make David Ricard your first call."

"Alex and his company did an exceptional job on our brick and stone work. We hired them to fix some cracks and missing mortar and they ended up making our patio and basement staircase look brand new. They were efficient, polite and responsive. I highly recommend this company"

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

"Mr. Scott and his crew did great work. He refinished our deck and power washed and painted the trimming on our house. He was on time and helpful every step of the way. He also does home improvements and we will be calling him again"

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.

"Vasiliy gave me two options, full tear down and rebuild or partial rebuild, but it seemed to make better sense to do the full rebuild. Vasiliy and his crew did a great job with the work, and kept me informed the entire way. He arranged the City inspection after the work was done. He also gave me some tips on better care for the chimney."

"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."
