We are extremely pleased with how beautifully this walkway turned out on our Dover, Delaware…read moreproperty. Stephen responded quickly and professionally to our inquiry, quoted a reasonable price - which fell in the middle of two other quotes. He and his crew went above and beyond expectations, including leveling off the sides with topsoil and patching up parts of another pathway. We were fully expecting to have to repair our electric dog fence upon completion, but they worked very carefully to preserve it - and took good care with our landscaping. He showed up when he said he would and finished when he said he would. We have gotten a lot of compliments from neighbors.

It is hard to find a good brick mason: someone who understands the physics of how brick and mortar…read moreworks. I know just enough about it to understand how it can all go wrong, and I've felt taken advantage of by contractors before, and so when I got to the point where I felt I could no longer tolerate the deterioration I was observing in my garage, I went to look for a mason. I asked around a lot. The boutique guys, preservationists, and artisans mostly didn't get back to me. One failed to inspire confidence. Another guy stood me up. Another wouldn't go into the city. One never got me a quote. Another guy was very nice and knowledgeable but quoted me a price so high that it had me looking at DIYing it. The search was not pleasant. Brick brothers was different. Stephen understood my concerns about the materials and the work that was needed, he showed an understanding of the principles of brick and mortar masonry on par with the fancier guys, and he quoted me a price I could actually afford. My only critique would be that the written quote lacked detail, but we adequately covered the scope of work verbally. It took two Saturdays, and I'd rough guess 48 man-hours. I'm so glad I didn't have to go the DIY route. Now the way brick goes it's probably at least 5 years before one can be certain that the work is right, but based on my conversations with Stephen and my own observations of his work, I'm confident that I'll see no spalling on the repaired areas. And having seen a few rains since the work was done, I can already report that I'm no longer seeing water infiltration in the repaired areas. So for brick repair needs, Stephen of Brick Brothers hits that rare intersection of competence and price which makes his work a great value. I would absolutely recommend him for any brick masonry needs.

Frank came out to provide a fair estimate and we contracted him to do the work. When it was time, he arrived as scheduled and did a wonderful job. Frank is a standup guy with loads of integrity. We'd give him the keys to our house, that's how much we trust him. His knowledge base, attention to detail, incredible customer service, and willingness to work for a fair price are what set him apart from most of today's contractors. And he's the nicest guy to boot. If you're looking for a skilled mason, we can't recommend FW Masonry more highly. Give Frank a call.

UPDATE: 24 OCT 2025…read more You won't regret working with Avalos Concrete LLC! Joel was fantastic--easy to communicate with and extremely knowledgeable. He even used his network to secure a great deal on asphalt to finish the driveway leading to my garage pad. Erick and his crew were just as impressive. They worked efficiently, paid close attention to detail, and made sure everything was done right. I'm incredibly grateful to Joel for coordinating everything seamlessly and communicating clearly with Erick about exactly what was needed. The entire job went smoothly from start to finish, and you won't find a better deal or quote anywhere else. Huge thank-you to both Joel and Erick for their excellent work and professionalism. Highly recommend! ------------------------------------------- Joel and his team from Avalos Concrete delivered exceptional workmanship from start to finish. They ensured the project fully met Carroll County requirements and even improved the overall appearance beyond its original condition. Communication with Joel was excellent -- he was responsive, transparent, and easy to work with throughout the process. He was upfront and honest about his pricing, and unlike others, he personally came out to take precise measurements before providing an estimate. His professionalism, attention to detail, and strong work ethic truly set him apart. I highly recommend Avalos Concrete for anyone seeking quality work, integrity, and reliability in a concrete contractor.

I hired him on the spot. We had a great rapport. He's an honest, hard working guy who just wants to deliver quality service for a fair price. He and his co-worker showed up on time, prepared for the job and delivered on his promise. He isn't some fly by night guy that shows up on your street with a Dump Truck leaking every possible fluid that needs a Hazmat Team to come clean up like most guys do. No raggedy equipment, no stains on the street and no beer cans in the bushes. They came in professionally dressed, they were quiet and they cleaned up once they were done. I live in a development where the Home Owner's Association feel they have the power of a Congressional Committee so the small things count. I highly recommend York Asphalt & Sealcoat for your driveway and paving needs.
