In a space where trust and quality matter, their team delivered both with professionalism, honesty, and craftsmanship that truly stood out. They were punctual, knowledgeable, incredibly respectful of our home, and took the time to explain everything clearly without ever feeling pushy. What impressed me most was the attention to detail and the pride they take in their work. It's rare to find a company that combines expertise with genuine customer care the way they do. The entire experience felt seamless, and you can tell they've built a reputation in the community for a reason. If you're looking for a company that values integrity, communication, and exceptional work, Bethesda Chimney is absolutely the team to call. Highly recommend.

1-Star Review - Do Not Use Bethesda Chimney - They Took My Money and Ghosted Me…read more I have never written a negative review for any company in my life, but after what happened with Bethesda Chimney, I feel I have to warn others so they don't get ripped off like I did. I called to schedule a simple chimney inspection. They told me I had to Zelle $299 as a deposit just to book the appointment. Against my better judgment, I sent the money directly to the owner, Bryan. They scheduled the appointment for Wednesday afternoon. I waited at home all day -- no one showed up and I never received a single call or text. When I called Bryan, he apologized and rescheduled for noon on Friday. Again, no show and no call. I called him a second time. He then said they could come at 8pm Friday night. I told him that wouldn't work because I had plans starting at 6pm and asked to just cancel the appointment. He immediately said I would lose the $299 deposit. After I pushed back on how ridiculous that was for a service they never provided (or even attempted), he finally agreed to refund it. That was weeks ago. Despite multiple follow-up calls, Bryan has still not returned my $299. The money is simply gone. This company used to be excellent. I previously had them rebuild two chimneys with zero issues -- they were professional and did great work. When I asked Bryan what happened, he admitted they have "a lot of new people now." **Bottom line:** Do NOT send any deposit to Bethesda Chimney, especially not via Zelle. They may show up for bigger jobs, but for scheduling even a basic inspection, it appears they have no problem taking your money and disappearing. Consider this your warning.

The first project involved repointing our heavily deteriorated front porch brick steps. Javier and his team carefully restored the brickwork, matched the mortar beautifully, and made the steps look solid and refreshed again. The second project was a complete restoration of our flagstone patio, including removing and replacing all of the old mortar and resetting the stones. The patio now looks fantastic and is level, clean, and professionally finished. Throughout both projects, the team was reliable, hardworking, detail oriented, and respectful of our property. It's clear they take pride in their craftsmanship. We're extremely happy with the results and would absolutely recommend Ramirez Brick Repair to anyone needing masonry or stonework repairs.

They delivered excellent craftsmanship and top notch design experience at a fair price. I initially hired Gerber to tune-up all my existing pavers, add a new paver driveway, and add some new path lighting. Adding the new driveway was somewhat of a challenge as the adjacent paver sidewalks were initially constructed over 10 years ago. So, Gerber was able to find a great match to my existing pavers and masterfully piece the new driveway together in such a fashion where old and new appear seamless. Amazing!!! During the process, we learned that his team also offered landscaping. So as the hardscaping and lighting was coming to an end, his team met with us for a design consultation. Both Kathy and Katherine brought some great experience/knowledge to assess our current situation and offered wonderful ideas to the overall design. We loved what we heard and proceeded with the landscaping work immediately. In the end, we could not be happier! And we look forward to using Gerber and his team should we have any additional hardscaping, landscaping, or lighting needs in the future.

CAC workers were on time and showed up reliably, which was helpful. The front and back of slab were plumb, no issues - but the left and right sides were not square as measured using the 3-4-5 square method, creating a problem for tile work. The discrepancy was enough to delay tile install by another contractor. It had to be made right or the tile surface would have been uneven and unattractive. When asked to inspect his work product and make it right, the owner Carlos responded that his measurements were perfect and he had made no mistakes. What could have been resolved with action and accuracy instead led us to hire someone we trust (a different yelp-verified business) who squared the slab and lumpy surround expertly. Their work wasn't bad but the part that wasn't good was mishandled with a closed attitude, unpleasant communication and delays. Finally we recovered $300 of the $450 we incurred to fix the surface and get on with tiling. But not without stress or dramatics.
