Never showed up despite the 6 hour appointment window. Just ghosted. Dont waste your time

Edgar's has finished several projects over the pass 10-15 years for me. First they repointed the whole row house for me. They did an excellent job and I have had no problems with this in the years that followed. This month they built a new garden wall behind my house. It has been disintegrating for many years. The wall is beautiful, strong, and will last a hundred years, like the old one. Just as importantly, the staff were professional and respectful, of the property and my garden. They showed up every day on time, worked throughout the day and finished in the time they said it would take to build the wall. I look forward to calling them again when the need arises. My only complaint is that it took many months to get them started on the job. But I can hardly fault them on their success, they are in demand. read more

Edgar's company just finished work at my home and they did an amazing job repairing the back wall of my (1890s) DC rowhome. I can't recommend them more highly-- they were incredibly thorough and even found and repaired problems hidden in the inner brick wall. They seem like real experts-- I felt like I could completely rely on them-- and they went above and beyond to make sure that the wall was sound and in great shape. There were no timing issues at all-- Edgar came out for an estimate the day after I called him, and his crew started a couple of days after that. They worked very independently but checked in about once a day to give me an update. They used special tarps to contain the dust and the left the area cleaner than they found it. Just a great job all around. read more

Edgar has done quite a bit of work on my 120+ year old victorian in dc. Part of the courtyard had bricks that were crumbling, and i was afraid they would fall on me or other residents - so his crew repointed those. The bigger job was for the main house- 2 sides of my house, a large 2 story victorian, and the chimney above, needed to be repointed. Previous owners had at some point poured black tar over most of the walls, so not only was the mortar almost gone but the wall was really black and ugly with all that tar. Much of the tar had to be removed before they could even get to repointing. One of walls was bowing out and also had a few big cracks - it looked scary and unstable. Edgar's crew was at my house for a little over 3 weeks, and they even asked to and worked every saturday. They fixed all of it. The bowed out part of the wall was actually taken down brick by brick and completely rebuilt. Edgar came by every few days, and was around to answer any questions I had. The end product looks great. Brick repointing is a very expensive process, but given the level of effort involved, his price was fair and reasonable. The crew kept my backyard reasonably clean, though i did have to point out a few things once in a while. Edgar is one of the preferred masonry contractors for DC Historic Preservation League, and when it comes to working with old houses, they know what they doing. Overall, I had a very good experience, and would use him again. He has also done brick repointing work at several other homes in my neighborhood. I did not have any trouble getting hold of him or his staff, as some other reviewers stated. But it is possible that he tends to focus on the bigger jobs - it's hard to get a lot of contractors to come out for smaller jobs nowadays. read more

I requested an estimate for brick pointing for my home in Washington, DC. Edgar came to view the project, but never provided the estimate. I called the company several times over a month to get the estimate. Was promised a call back each time I called, but never received the estimate. I was looking forward to working with this company which is why I kept calling for the estimate, but it's obvious now they do not want my money or the job. Very disappointing and a waste of my time. read more

I have used Edgar's Masonry for two jobs on our house and have been extremely pleased with the quality of work, timeliness, responsiveness, and cost. Last Fall, Edgar's Masonry repointed cracked mortar and repaired cracked bricks on the exterior of our 75 year old brick colonial. They worked over a weekend to complete the job promptly and did more repairing than I thought they would. The repairs have held up well and improved the look of the house. Recently, we brought back Edgar's Masonry to completely replace our crumbling brick stairs and stoop and to rebuild part of a brick walkway. Again, they worked over the weekend and finished surprisingly fast. I am amazed at the quality look and feel of the new steps and walkway. The quality is better than I anticipated. In addition, they built small brick walls around adjacent garden beds to prevent erosion and improve the overall aesthetics of the project. They did more than expected and really sharpened the appearance of the front entryway of our house. Edgar is very responsive to customer desires and very friendly. The crew did a great job of keeping the work area clean and minimizing the disruption from noise over the weekend. The cost was very reasonable for the amount of reconstruction involved...and while at our house for this job, Edgar's Masonry repaired an additional small crack in the house's exterior wall that had appeared since the previous Fall without even being asked. Highly recommended for brick repair and new masonry projects. I would use again and recommend to friends. read more

Edgar and his team were PHENOMENAL. We purchased a renovated 1900s rowhouse. The developer and his team consistently were unable to properly re-point our brickwork. We ended up hiring Edgar, and he could not have been better. His quote came in far below competitor's quotes. He was timely, efficient, and precise in his work. All around phenomenal. In short, our long-term masonry and repointing headaches came to an end when Edgar showed up. read more

The scheduler was polite and prompt, and when Edgar Raymundo didn't turn up on time, responded to my inquiry. Edgar did come, without a ladder, looked around casually at what I showed him (though the issue is best inspected from close up). He seemed quite full of himself and gave me a card and told me to send him an email to ask for an estimate. I did. He never replied. During the inspection, when I asked him how long the work would take, and what type of work he anticipated, he indicated a need for scaffolding and a crew of 4-5 workers over 10 days. This was a wild exaggeration compared with the estimates of five other reputable companies. I DON'T RECOMMEND EDGAR'S MASONRY CONSTRUCTION, UNLESS YOU LIKE RUNNING AFTER A RELUCTANT CONTRACTOR WHO WILL CHARGE YOU AN ARM AND A LEG AND CAN'T BE RELIED UPON EVEN TO SEND AN ESTIMATE. read more

I recently used Edgar's Masonry to raise the height of my backyard brick wall. They also widened the opening for the gate, which required tear down of an existing pillar and building it back up. They did a great job, and also added some support in a section of the existing wall that was cracked and replaced the cracked bricks. Very professional workers and competitive prices. I would hire them again and highly recommend them. read more

I looked online at a number of community listservs/blogs, etc. when deciding who to call for masonry work. Edgar came up time and time again. I was able to easily schedule an appointment for an estimate by email/web. Edgar provided a very competitive quote for tuckpointing the front and back of my small row house. Edgar was punctual and professional. I couldn't be happier with his work! I would not hesitate to recommend Edgar and his crew. read more

Called and was treated well with a quick turn around to come out and look at the job. Came the next day slightly late and took pictures and promised a bid later that day hopefully but no later than the next day. That was a week ago. Called several times and left messages. No responses. read more

Edgar ever got back to me with a proposal. I sent emails, made calls - got run around each time - he is on vacation, not in the office, will give him the message etc. Got tired of this and gave up. I feel he is not very reliable and/or professional. Obviously, he does not want to job and did not have the courtesy to call. Poor way to run a business. read more

Edgar came out and gave me an estimate for some tuckpointing. I decided to proceed with the work. However, the company never answered any of my phone calls. They also did not respond to my e-mails. I suspected they were screening my calls so I decided to call them from my friends phone. Guess what? They answered the phone. Edgar's Masonry is unprofessional. Who knows what would have happened if I gave them a deposit. read more

Update: Edgar never got us the proposal. We gave up and stopped contacting him. He obviously doesn't need the money or my business.

Edgar's Masonry did a good job re-pointing our chimney. We liked that Edgar provided an accurate, competitive estimate for the job based on photographs of the area that needed work; a lot of other businesses that we considered insisted on coming out and charging for an estimate. Edgar arrived on time and did a thorough, professional job. read more
