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.

Richard replaced the bricks around the top of my chimney, put in a new chimney liner, and…read morere-pointed the bricks in the firebox as well as repointing some bricks on the outside of the chimney. I was impressed by him throughout the whole experience. When he came and provided the quote, one of the things we asked him about was some holes in the brick that we thought needed to be repaired. He explained that they were actually weep holes for water to drain from and needed to be there. We were planning to paint the bricks, and he told us he'd send us a picture later of the sponges we could put in when we painted. True to his word, later in the day he followed up with the details he'd promised. While this may seem small, I've had so many flaky contractors give me quotes and not do what they say they're going to that this was very refreshing. I was also impressed that he had chimney-sweep coloring books for the kids when he gave us the estimate. The estimate was very reasonable in price, and Richard was very responsive as I communicated with him about the project as we were deciding whether or not to have him do the work. When he came and did the work, he was very professional in all our interactions. He put down drop cloths from the front door to the fireplace (something else I've had contractors not do), and cleaned up at the end of each day. He explained everything he was doing, and was just very pleasant to work with. His workmanship was very good, and I plan to hire him again if we ever need additional work done.

Our walk and portico look fantastic. C&G Masonry is a reliable and honest company with professional masonry workers who are also a pleasure to work with. They are a great resource for homeowners!
