I used David Ricard Masonry to repair a toothpaste-joint stone wall in front of my house. I highly recommend David. He came to my house and personally inspected the wall, then gave me a very reasonable estimate. His crew showed up on time, did excellent work, and cleaned up afterward. All in all, a professional, hassle-fee experience. I'm attaching before and after photos. read more

I contacted David, to get an estimate of brick repair work on and around my home and property. After getting a reasonable quote and a handshake we sealed the deal. Within a week, David called me and scheduled to come and star the process, the crew arrived at 7:00 AM Monday morning replacing numerous bricks which had their face falling off on our home and stoop area. Tore down a rebuilt retaining walls on both sides of our walkout basement. The did an amazing job and cleaned up afterwards pretty quickly to our satisfaction. For all of brick, concrete of any kind, I highly recommend this company!!! read more

David and his team negotiated a very competitive and reasonable quote for my project. They performed the work beyond my expectation. I would gladly hire them and again and refer them to my friends and neigbors! read more

Crook, said one thing and did half the work agreed to. Had to find someone else to finish work

David Ricard's team built a new retaining wall for our Northeast DC rowhouse, and skillfully resurfaced our cracked old cement front steps with thermaled Virginia bluestone for a fair price, and with only five days of hard work. They did a nice job with tricky details like concave curved cuts in stone. Other contractors had quoted us twice as much, or had less of a CAN-DO attitude. The work was done in 2017, and looks just as good four years later. David is a good communicator, and fun to chat with while work is underway too. His skilled team members are professional and pleasant too. I wish all contractors were this good. My only regret is not hiring him sooner. read more

I can't say enough about David and his team. From start to finish, David was thorough, detailed, knowledgeable, and clearly cared deeply about helping us make our townhome beautiful and most importantly safe for our family.

David Ricard Masonry - Repaired walkway and steps - Masonry/Concrete Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

A car ran into the back of my house in a freak accident, destroying 10 feet of low brick wall and punching a hole in the brick exterior of my house. Dave's crew did an amazing job with the house repair and the wall rebuild. They patiently cleaned up old bricks to reuse so that there was a reasonable match instead of using new brick which would have been so much easier. Dave has also installed some flagstone in my front walk. Their work is impeccable. And I almost forgot about the first project they did for me--rebuilding a stoop that was originally build with brick that was too soft to use as pavers. Highly recommend! read more

When you are making repairs to your home, you want to make sure you are hiring someone who will treat it (and you!) with the utmost respect and care. David lived up to his amazing reviews 100% - he is a gentleman who is honest, hardworking, and does a great job. Backstory: DC Water had to dig up our old (lead) water pipe and replace it. In doing so, they knocked out half of our front garden brick retaining wall. Their subcontractors sent out to "fix" the wall did indeed rebuild it...in a way that would make any real mason shudder. It was not level, uneven, and the tuckpointing was poorly done. The entire wall had to be torn up and re-built...again. We used Yelp's handy dandy "request a quote" service (seriously, if you haven't used that feature on Yelp yet, what are you waiting for?!) and got quotes from 5 different mason/concrete repair places. Of all the quotes, David was the best price and the most prompt in following up. David, his brother Jonathon, and another gentleman did the job in two half days (demo the first, rebuilding the second). The brick wall looks so much better than it did before. Precise tuckpointing, nice clean lines, and no mess left! If you're looking for a quality and affordable mason, give David a try. read more

David came to give an estimate and the job was not needed in the end. It would've already been an extremely small job, likely too small for others but David would have been willing to take in on anyways. There was kindness and sincerity talking with him, it is much appreciated. read more

Repair existing stone walkways and build a 30 foot stone retaining wall. I got three estimates. David was the only one who spent time explaining the details of the job. The only one who said a reinforced footing was needed to prevent the wall from moving due to freezing/thawing over time. Also explained the differences in types of mortar to be used in repairing the walkways (confirmed by online search) and gave me tips on cleaning the walkways. NEVER USE A POWER-WASHER! His price was very fair! Job was completed on time and looks better than the original work. I wish we had known about Ricard Masonry sooner. read more

We had David & his guys repoint and replace brick on our 100 year old rowhouse. They were extremely timely, got the job done quickly, super respectful, cleaned up thoroughly after, and had a very agreeable price. We would happily recommend David Ricard Masonry to anyone in the DC area. read more

I called Dave Ricard - late Saturday- for help after my chimney cap was blown by high winds. Although the cap issue was not something his company handled he went out of his way to guide me to the service companies which my case was roofers. I will always be grateful for David's help and will hire him if I need services his company offers. Thanks very much David for your honesty and professionalism read more

I highly recommend working with David Ricard Masonry to have your brick repointed. His work product is great. He's friendly and professional. He gave me a quote on the spot with an extremely competitive price. We plan to use him again soon to repoint the rest of our house. read more

Honest, hardworking and professional! David repaired a crack that had formed on the exterior wall. When I reached out to him, initially he responded by saying he wanted to do some research into the issue as he had never encountered such a thing. It was refreshing to hear a contractor that they do not have the answer yet, but will do some research. Happy to say that he and his crew showed up right when promised and repaired the crack as if was never there. Thank you David! read more

I'm not quite sure where they are getting all these five star reviews. I tried to work with David for three weeks to come to my house to replace my sidewalk. He cancelled the first two appointments at the last minute. Finally, on the third appointment, he schedule for 7:30AM for the following Saturday. So I think to myself, okay, third time's the charm right? On Thursday and Friday, I both called and texted David to confirm the 7:30AM appointment. He didn't reply back to my text nor picked up my phone call. Basically he ghosted me. From my conversations with him, this is a company that only chases after profit at all cost. In other words, he will schedule you for an appointment but if a bigger contract comes up last minute, he will just blow you off without any explanation. What boggles my mind is that the company is based in Woodbridge, which is where I live. They are just down the street from my house. Very unprofessional. I would steer clear of this company. read more

David and his brother John came out today and repointed my 3-level brick townhouse. They did a fabulous job! My townhouse looks great. Both David and John are just as nice as can be, and were a pleasure to have around for the day. If I have any future masonry needs, I will not hesitate to hire them again. Highly recommended. read more

I would strongly recommend David to anyone needing masonry work. He really knows his stuff, was easy to work with, and extremely affordable. We had water damage in our historic brick home and had to tear out wet plaster all over the house. When we saw the condition of the brick, it was clear we needed a bunch of interior repointing and hadn't planned on it, so didn't have anyone lined up. David arrived the next morning, have an estimate on the spot, and was confidence inspiring in his understanding of our 150- year old brick home. He made sure to use historically accurate materials. Was flexible on scheduling and when the time came, arrived on time, worked quickly, and charged a very reasonable price. So glad we didn't have to worry about that price of it! Next we hope to hire him for other restoration work on the house! read more

We recently moved into our home and needed to repoint the side of our house. David came by and quoted the work and we scheduled the work a month later.

David and his brother John are true professionals and really nice and genuine people. David was incredibly communicative via text, came promptly, told us honestly what he did not think actually needed any work, and gave us a quote on the spot for what he thought did. They arrived when scheduled, were very lovely people, clearly very hardworking and skilled in their trade, and did an extremely nice job. They even went above and beyond to clean everything nicely. I think they are a rare find and I am so glad we found them. read more

We are in the process of selling our house and needed the front porch brick stairs repaired. While David wasn't the cheapest estimate we got, he was the most professional and most responsive. He came out and repaired the stairs within a week and found some structural damage in the process which he also fixed for a very small additional charge. We would use him again were we staying in the area. read more

We've used Dave twice now and we're pleased with the work both times. He and his crew are responsible, accommodating, and seem to know what they're doing. This time we had them repair a stone wall in front of our house. They found replacement stones that matched and pointed it up nicely. Also cleaned up the site well. read more

I've used David Ricard for two jobs now. The first was tuckpointing a brick wall in my backyard. I also hired him to do tuckpointing for part of the front of my house. This part was up in a hard to reach area, but David's team did a wonderful job. They also touched up other areas in the front that needed it. Both projects look great. David was responsive and timely, and did a great job cleaning up the work site after completion. David provides great quality for very reasonable prices. Highly recommend him for any tuckpointing projects. read more
