The driveway was 26 years old. It was broken and had gaps between driveway and the garage. It was…read morevery difficult to drive in and out of the garage, as shown by the attached before and after pictures. I am a retired engineer and I have done house remodelling several times. I called five concrete driveway repair companies in the Howard County area. Joel Avalos is the most responsive and capable person. While the work was progressing, I checked in from time to time to see the quality and I found Joel does everything that he promised and more. I am very impressed. Now I have a new driveway that I am very happy with. There is not a hairline crack on my driveway. It is an excellent job.

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.

I gave E . Cooper a negative review about a concern with small patches of grass growing through our…read moreasphalt driveway. Mr. Cooper addressed the problem and explained that this was Bermuda grass which can make it's way through asphalt. We were always pleased with our new driveway the construction company did. I appreciate the promptness of correcting this concern. Thank you Mr. Cooper. I will refer E Cooper Construction to others.

Eli Cooper, his son Cody and crew did a masterful job on my driveway…read more It was previously tar and chipped by another contractor which lasted about a year before it was redone, which then lasted about two years. Finally I decided to asphalt the driveway and to be done with it forever. I shopped around, got estimates from a handful of contractors, and went and looked at some of their work, new and old. Mr. Cooper is not a salesman, he is a second generation paver working with his son and crew. I feel much better working with the person who is going to do the work compared to a salesperson who is going to tell you how good the work is going to be. Aside from being a master in his field, he is meticulous about from start to finish. You will not find a better person or company to work with. Marc

I was busy and waited til the last moment to call about this service and as such, I assumed since it was mid morning on Friday that it would not be able to be delivered til the beginning of next week. However, to my surprise and great happiness, Mike delivered the Roll-Off to my house within a couple hours of my call to him He placed it exactly where I wanted it in my yard without any issues. I found him and other companies on-line and am very glad Smith Landscape was my first and only call I made!
