Get matched with top brick, stone or block wall installers in Stephens City, VA

"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."

"Repointed our 10X20 patio that is 30 years old and showing missing or cracked mortar but bricks firm on concreate base. He did a great job of repointing ALL joints after regrinding them out without nicking the existing bricks. Only one color of mortar to choose from and it was acceptable. The Joints look great and matched the prior job quality. After the job as done, he suggested keeping it damp which I had done over two days to help the curing process of the mortar. The color of the mortar looks great with some minor differences which will probably blend in over time. Some minor splatter on existing bricks, but not concerned. The job was done professionally and he worked throughout the entire HOT day. Now only time will tell of the mortar replacement is as good at the original job that lasted 30 years. I would highly recommend Big Sky Masonry for your next masonry job. Pleasant to work with and professional with great communication. I had no urgency to get the job done other than prior to the cold weather."

"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."

"John handled our aluminum fence install without delay. He walked the line with us first, made sure the layout matched what we wanted, and started right away. The panels went in clean, no gaps or uneven spots. He stayed on task and worked through until it was done. No talking in circles, no delays. The fence looks tight and secure. Glad we picked this crew."

"The price was great, but the workmanship was not all that good. This company seems to specialize in chimney work, and they are probably OK for that because you can't really see most chimneys up close so sloppy mortar joints aren't really visible.  Patching a large hole in existing brick is a bit of an art, though, and their mason did not really have the skills to do this properly.
The man who did the estimate was thorough and helpful, and although he was late, he called to let me know.  He promised to email me a written quote in a couple of days.  When the quote did not arrive, I tried emailing him and got no answer. After several days of this, I called the company and was told that their computer was down, but that Oscar (the owner) would come by my houses the next day and bring the written quote.
Oscar arrived as promised, and said he was able to do the work that same day, so I let him. He and one other mason completed the tasks.
He reset some loose stones in a flagstone sidewalk and filled in missing mortar. That work looked OK, though not great, as the mortar didn't really match the existing. The flagstones were irregular in shape, so the mortar joints didn't have to be perfect. I also had him brick in a hole that was left when we removed a heat/air conditioning unit that was built into the wall when a room was added onto the house.  While the color of the brick was a good match, the bricks were not laid exactly straight, and the mortar joints were not tooled to match the surrounding joints, so the patch looks sloppy. There was also a lot of excess mortar on the bricks, which left a white haze.
I complained to Oscar that I was not happy with the brick work. He agreed to come out and clean the bricks, which he did, but he would not do anything about the crooked bricks.

"I had used Glenn many years ago for some masonry repairs and called him again for this project as I lost his number but I was elated to find his information on Angie's list. He came over very promptly after calling him and gave me written estimate detailing all the work to be performed. My front and back stoops and walk way renovation was a project I had put off for a long time, mostly from the dread of finding a quality mason contractor to do the job since I lost his number from before. Glenn kept me in the loop for the entire project and asked for my input along the way. They cleaned up the area around where the work was performed. Glenn was prompt and always called me every morning to tell me when to expect him, he was knowledgeable, personable and professional and I could go on and on! He and his crew finished the premium flagstone stoops and walkway exactly as designed ahead of the time he told me and strives for customer satisfaction as evidenced with his qualuty work. I can't think of any way this job could have been completed in a more professional manner or with a better company. Should I have need of a masonry contractor in the future, I will definitely call J & G Masonry as I was so very happy with the work performed. I'm already thinking about the next project that I can call Glenn about doing - possibly an outdoor brick oven. I miss seeing him come to my house every day. You won't be disappointed!"

"Home pro very knowledgeable and helpful when helping me decide what kind of floor I wanted to put in my kitchen. Worked at a very quick timely fashion. Would definitely recommend them for any home repair or remodel you would need."

"It went so well that I invited Trinity Paving to do it at a different property we have."

"Incredibly professional crew, led by Jose Raoul Trejo, and manager/owner, Dan Neufeld.  
Dan, my wife and I had several meetings to clarify exactly what was expected and drew sketches of the retaining wall to be certain that requirements were clear to to all.  Dan included Jose after our first meeting to discuss and recommend changes to the plan and ensure that our desires were clear and achievable.  The work was agreed upon to start 2-3 weeks later, on 20 May 13.  Dan notified Miss Utility (thank goodness!--turns out quite a bit of underground electric and cable were present where the work was scheduled and I was not aware of them) and the property was marked prior to the start of work. 
Jose and Hector, one of the regular crew, showed up promptly the morning of the 20th and did so every day.  They worked long hours for four straight days with few breaks, usually not quitting for the day until 6pm.  The walls were laid out and improved upon as construction proceeded.  All our initial requirements were met and many improvements and enhancements were made by Jose and Hector, who clearly took great pride in their work.  The work crew was extremely professional, responding to minor changes ("hmmm, I think I'd prefer that [just planted] bush be moved over there") cheerfully.  Cleanup was thorough and complete.
Jose clearly knew what he was doing with retaining walls.  He knew the county codes and worked to ensure things were done properly including drainage, deadmen anchors, rebarb supports, and proper materials.  I would like to emphasize an earlier statement, ?took great pride in their work?.  This came through clearly by Jose and Hector as they went to great efforts to more than simply meet the contractual requirements.  Jose encountered soft dirt, so he dug the wall in deeper.  Hector didn?t like the way some plants looked, so he moved them around to make the landscaping more appealing to the eye.  Additional materials were required, but no additional cost was passed on to me.  I truly felt like they were proud of the work they were doing and wanted my home to reflect their best efforts.
In retrospect, and considering our experience with other contractors, I would attribute the biggest reason for success to be clear identification of the requirements.  Laying these out clearly in drawings, marking the ground, and discussing each aspect thoroughly to be sure everyone was clear, resulted in our expectations being met or exceeded.
I recommend Mt Diablo without reservation.

"Excellent, guys were on time, worked very efficiently and cleaned up after themselves. They put the fans together from out of the box and then after installation they explained how to work the fans.
