"Bill and Juan and his team were amazing! They recently renovated our 2 bathrooms and we couldnâ t be happier with the process. Excellent communication, attention to detail, and Bill was available almost anytime to discuss any questions or concerns. We would absolutely use them again!"

"Great Falls originally built a stone fireplace in my family room. I was so happy with the results that I had them do interior walls of entire man cave basement with carderock stone. Later they built a three-tiered stone patio with retaining walls. The quality of stone work is the best!"

"We are planning to install vent-free gas logs in our two wood burning fireplaces so we could have heat during power outages and for the warmth and ambiance.  I called three of the fireplace installers from Angie's List based on customer reviews for estimates.  Two of the fireplace companies suggested that I have both chimneys cleaned and inspected before doing the gas log installation.  Even though the gas logs are natural gas and vent-free and would not need the damper to be opened so do not need a working chimney for the gas logs, we had never had the chimneys inspected or cleaned since we moved in 6 years ago.  So we thought that was a good idea to get it done once and then we don't have to have it done again unless there is a problem. 
Steve the Fire Place Guy suggested that I call MCP Chimney & Masonry.  He said that he had worked with them before and they are very good.  I looked on Angie's List to see the reviews and there were only 4 reviews with an average of B overall rating.  I was a little skeptical but Steve told me that they would be up front with me and would not try to sell something I do not need so I scheduled an appointment.
Tammy is really very friendly and helpful.  She told me that an inspection and cleaning is $159 per chimney.  I had seen somewhere else where it costs between $99-$229 but I think the $99 is for either the inspection or cleaning but not for both and the high end prices included other cleaning such as dryer vent.  Anyway, I went ahead and scheduled the inspection and cleaning with Tammy.
Brandon and Jose arrived within the scheduled time window.  They put the tarp down on my beige carpet and began to clean each chimney from the bottom to top method from inside the house.  After they were done, there was not a bit of dust or soot from the chimney.  Brandon had vacuum all that into his vacuum inside the fireplace before it could get out into the room.  My fireplace, mantel, and beige carpet were still clean.
Then they went on the roof to do the inspection.  Brandon came down with pictures of the crowns that he took with his phone and he also brought down a few pieces of the concrete crown from one of the chimneys.  He said that one of the chimney looked like it was the original crown when the house was built 29 years ago and never been replaced or repaired.   The concrete was separating from the crown and loosely sitting or dangling from the edge and he was able to bring a few pieces down to show me.  The other crown looked like it was repaired previously but not done very well or professionally,  Someone that the previous owner has hired used concrete fillers in the cracks of the crown and now has more cracks and some separation.  Brandon recommends that I get the repair done especially since our chimneys showed no signs of internal water damage.  If there were water damage, it could damage the liner or weaken the integrity of the bricks in the chimney and if left it is not repaired overtime the chimney may need to be replaced which could run about $6,000 or higher.
Brandon recommended that we repair both crowns with the poxy compound which has a 20 year warranty.  It is put on over the concrete creating a cover.  I had seen this done with our neighbor's crown so I had an idea of what he is talking about.  He said to use concrete to repair the crown will only have a 2 year warranty so of course I went with the compound.  The cost for the repair was $600 for both crowns but Brandon gave me a 15% discount making the repair cost $520 and the total for cleaning, inspecting and repairs to $838.  I guess I am happy with that since I have no idea what the average costs would be.
So I scheduled the repair with Tammy for the following week.  They came out and did the job and as far as I know everything seems fine (it is not like I am going to climb on a ladder on the roof to check).    So far so good and I am happy with the staff and work.  Usually, since I am the one in the household that calls for repairs or maintenance I would be the one companies would be talking with.  Some male representatives have a tendency to think since I am a female I may not understand or need to know how or what the job entails so they do not bother to fully explain things to me or ask to speak with my husband.  Good luck with that, my husband do not want to be bother and he would say talk with my wife.  So if you do not want to talk with me...Good bye, you are not getting the job.  Brandon was completely opposite and took the time to explain all the aspect of the job and why.  He was absolutely wonderful and so was Tammy in the office.  I would definitely call them again and since they do masonry work, I may have projects for them in the future.  So as long as this repair job continues to be problem free, I would definitely recommend them and I would ask for Brandon Morris."

"Repaired deep, severe cracks in cement driveway. Then repaired & replaced cement areas of sidewalk & patio that went on side of house to back of house. Area by drain by garage was completely replaced. Looked to save me expense by putting steel grating, mesh, over existing sidewalk & applied layer of cement over it. The surface was well smoothed out & edges finished. Looks like brand newly cemented sidewalk. Repaired cracks in stone stairs. Very nice job. Cement severely damaged by salt from winter shoveling. Men very neat, friendly, & timely in arrival. Job completed over 4 days. Very respectful. Owner on site at all times, workers his permanent staff. All cement work expensive from all companies' estimations. This company with owner on site instilled confidence to hire them.

"They came on time, cleaned the gutters and repaired leaks and attachment of gutter and downspout problems. They did good work. Left the premises clean. After the work, a leak remained in one gutter seam. I gave them a call and they returned promptly to repair it."

"I had to get masonry work done on my Baltimore home in the front and back. I received a quote for a repair and a replacement estimate. I decided to go with the replacement as I wanted a longterm fix(started to develop water damage in my house due to the spacing in the bricks). I also had to get the bricks repainted after as my house is a bluish grey. Unfortunately, I was unable to match the paint( attempted to match the paint about 4x with color match from home depot and sherwin) so the price estimate went from 500 for just painting the bricks that were replaced to 3500 to paint the entire front. This being said this was still a great price to paint a 3 story brick house. The entire cost for the job was 13,000. This was great as some companies quoted this are the price for just one portion of the job. Overall the were always very respectful and responsive. The owner worked well with my schedule. Whenever I had a question I was able to reach the owner and he answered right away. And lastly, the pricing was fair. I would book them again."

"The provider was called regarding a gutter issue. When the provider arrived, he checked the roof and told us that it needed repair or replacement. He gave us estimates for both. Based on the estimates, we decided to have the roof replaced and at the same time, the gutters would be repaired. The roof looks good, however, we have not had any heavy rain since that time to confirm the gutters are fixed. We put down a 1/3 deposit on the roof and have not received a copy of their signed contract nor the 50 Year Transferable Warranty, which was the selling point of having the new roof put on. The morning the workman showed up to replace the roof, they asked my husband for more money up front. He said no, that in compliance with the contract, they would get the balance after the roof was replaced - that is what we did. They have been paid in full. We have tried to reach Jack Walker, the owner of Home Pro Roofing & Remodeling, since the roof was replaced and we have been unable to reach him via his office and cell phone numbers."

"This is the second time that George's Painting has done work for us.  They have always been prompt and responsive and they do a wonderful job, which they stand behind.  We had exterior work done and it rained the day that they finished up ... Jorge came back and fixed what the rain had damaged as soon as the weather allowed.  We weren't initially happy with the color chosen for the basement stairs; they were repainted with a new color at no additional charge.  We are very happy with their work and will definitely use them again.  The price is on the high side but the quality of the work makes it worth it.
