Get matched with top brick or stone tuck pointing pros in Lovettsville, VA

"Jeff and his crew were great to work with. The porch looks amazing!! They poured footers, built block walls, filled in around the walls, poured and finished the concrete porch and stairs. I would definitely hire them again!!!"

"We recently hired Shamrock Chimney to repoint the brick walls on both of our bay windows and our front steps. We also had them perform a safety inspection and cleaning of our gas fireplace. Mr. Juan Ortiz was the company representative, and we found him to be extremely knowledgeable, professional, and courteous. The repointing took approximately 7½ hours, and the results were exceptional. They carefully removed the old mortar, and the new mortar was matched perfectly to the existing brickwork. The bay window walls look like new again! They also completed a thorough safety inspection of our gas fireplace and did an excellent job cleaning the glass and fireplace. We were very pleased with the quality of the work and the professionalism of the crew. I would definitely recommend Shamrock Chimney to anyone needing chimney, masonry, or fireplace services."

"This was a very involved plaster repair and remediation job, in a very old house. Grady is the only person (or company) who was willing to take on the job and drive all the way from Pennsylvania to our home in Northern Virginia. There are very few people who do this kind of work anymore (we really searched) and he is an expert in his field. We needed to work around his schedule, because he is in demand in the tri-state area, so it took awhile to schedule the work to begin... but it was worth it."

"McCoy Masonry was hiring for repairs to our patio. The job required replacing stone and repairing mortar between existing stone. They did a tremendous job of the repairs. They were timely with the estimate of time required. The kept the worksite clean. Provided us with updates throughout the project. Our patio looks brand new and after fourteen years it needed care. I strongly recommend Keith for any masonry project. He will be the first place we contact for any future masonry projects."

"F Stone Design - Fernando has successfully completed two jobs for me. One in stone (wall) and the other in brick (Front entrance repair). Both jobs were extremely well done. Not only was the final product first rate, the work was completed on time with minimal disruption. Cleanup was meticulous. Overall a great job and customer experience."

"Well this Mason is one interesting character. After being well versed on flagstone patio/walkway from previous masons, I decided to go with this mans company based on his expertise, quote and other due diligence I performed on him and his company. I received multiple quotes from reputable masons but scheduling was the factor as he could start promptly. Needless to say, the job was completed after a very stressful situation. Jeff Cadle offered a quote based on labor and materials and he was asked to match the existing pathway and of course no had no problem doing that, it will look exactly like the way you have it now, with same stones, pattern, etc. 

The first day started out great, he had bunch of workers take out the old flagstone which was on on stone dust/dirt and excavated the pathway. His workers also delivered my existing flagstones to a friends house 6 miles away after over-charging him to the tune of $400. Few days later, he poured concrete from supplier which was not the best type (very coarse full of stones) but time will tell if it holds up.  Then his crew started to lay stones which were completely different from existing stones on the property. He started to use yellow Tennessee flag stones where my entire existing path and patio was installed using Arizona and Colorado stones which were blush, red in color with shades of yellow. I truly believe he was trying to save money by buying cheap already broken up stones from Sissler's instead of getting a palette of Arizona and Colorado flagstones which were larger in dimension. We had discussed in detail about what stone to use and their size and layout prior to the contract!! So the next day during my lunch hour I had to meet him at Tri-State stone yard and pay for stones as he used up the 50% of the deposit I had given to him and he said did not have any money. Be very careful about mason in this regard as I have run across every one of them that worked this was. So I pay for the stones, he brings it to the house and his crew re-starts the job the next day after picking up additional Colorado stones from Sissler's which I pay over the phone.

I inform the crew to start using larger pieces to match the existing pathway and re-do the area with small incorrect stones.  After a week, the job was complete but owner never showed up after meeting me at Tri-State. The crew consisted of four spanish guys and the lead mason William who was very polite and accommodating unlike Jeff Cadle. The bottom line is if you have Jeff Cadle do your job, please write down every single thing and give it to him and record the conversation if possible, otherwise you will be in for a surprise. I feel like I was going to be taken especially after he took the first $2500 (my bank calls me as he does not have a bank account) but after buying the stone I had some leverage and could have taken him to court if he did not finish. In my case, he low-balled to get the job as he mentioned he did not have any work for about a week and then raised the price to $5000 (as the original quote was $4500)  because he said he would do this and that but he did not do anything special. Furthermore, the crew left and did not pressure or acid wash the stone walkway, left splattered concrete on my garage door, gutter which I have to remove. I am pleased with the projects outcome but the experience left a bitter taste and I have learned a lot about stone masons and how they work."

"We bought a house that had a severely damaged chimney that looked as if it would fall over and bust through our roof after a modest gust of wind.  A&T came out and did a quick estimate for us which was quite a bit cheaper than other companies and they also did not try to up-sell us to do additional work (replacing flue, etc) using scare tactics.  We quickly scheduled them to come out a week after the estimate in order to do the work.  They probably would have come out even sooner but we waited to get a final quote from another company.  
They arrived promptly at their window and did all the work with neither my wife or I required to be home (a huge huge plus).  They estimated that the work may take up to a day and a half, but finished in half of a day.  After completion of the job they emailed me some photos of the chimney so that I could see what they had done up close without having to get up on a 40 foot ladder.
I would give them A's all around just for what I described, but they went above and beyond.  Because they had some left over materials, they patched up some cracking that they saw on my roof while they were up there  I actually think that this even fixed a small leak in our sun room that I was going to have someone else come out and look out.  Amazing job - would absolutely hire again.

"From beginning to end, VRN Masonry was a pleasure to work with! Rui was quick to respond when setting up our estimate meeting and this continued throughout the project. Work began earlier than expected which was much appreciated. Unfortunately, the weather did not want to cooperate for several weeks which delayed the project but Rui gave us updates for when him and his team could come by to work. Near the end of the project, they even came out on a Sunday to avoid more bad weather that was predicted for the week. Everything is complete now and we could not be happier! VRN Masonry did a fantastic job and I greatly appreciated his responsiveness and receptiveness."

"I had a great experience working with this fence company. Hunter and team were friendly, efficient, and paid close attention to detail. They helped me choose the right style for my yard, and the final result looks fantastic. Highly recommend their services!"

"Tony and his colleague showed up and got straight to work.  The men were careful about tracking any dirt into the house and used shoe covers.  The job took about 30 minutes to complete and Tony was a wealth of information on how to use the wood burning fireplace and gave suggestions on using starter wood .  They inspected the fireplace and advised I needed two tiles to be replaced and gave me an estimate; along with the $150 credit from the Angie's List purchase the estimate was less than the purchase price for one tile from Home Depot.
I was happy with the overall service and would use them again.
