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.

Terrible!! Do Not Hire!!! I cannot give a review on his work since he failed to do any. He…read morecontacted us about two weeks before the contract date to do the work to ask if it was still a "go" on the day we had chosen and all I could say is, as we get closer I would keep an eye on the weather since I have to order the Sod on a Thursday to have it that Saturday for him to install. He agreed in an email stating May 7, (Good morning. That's a very sound approach on your part--so this will be the plan.) I had not herd from Jesus since May 7th, 26 and it was now Thursday 14th. I wanted to speak to him prior to placing the sod order to make sure he was still on board doing it Saturday. I sent emails and called his cell and he did not return my emails or voice messages. That seemed very odd. I tried blocking my number and as I recall he asked who I was and I said, it is me and what is going on and I need to order the sod. He than told me it was still on but he had to do something but he will call me back in a minute. He never called me back. I spoke with my wife at her work and told her he is not returning my call and told he to try calling using her work phone. I received an email from her saying he called her back but again he called and did not recognize her number at work. I told her, he is avoiding our calls and he only called her because he did not know who called from that number. He told her he will call me but never did. I than tried calling him again and used my cell since I never gave that number to him before. He did not answer my call but he did call it since he did not know it was my phone. Based on what he said to me at first, he had no idea it was me until I told him again this is Glenn. That changed his attitude fast and again he said he was working on my job but had been sick but said he has a friend he is getting to do my job and he will call me with the details. Never called back. I can say I never seen a man lie as much as he did that day. If I had ordered the "sod that day, it would have cost me $1200.00 because I had no one to install it and it will die in three days once cut into sod. He drew up the contract and in wrote each item he was doing from removing the grass and add a small amount of top soil and install the sod and remove the trash if any. Most of the grass has been removed already. If he does this on a landscaping job, I would never recommend him to do any work. We waited three weeks for him to do this job because he told us he could not do it any sooner. He knew if I had ordered the Sod, as expected, I would have lost over $1200.00 plus. No doubt he just doesn't care. Now back to getting more quotes. His company is AJ Concrete & Landscaping LLC and his name is Jesus E Gonzalez Martinez and address 6517 Vert Drive Elkiridge MD 21075

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.

I asked him if 3:00 PM was convenient as I wanted my wife to meet him and discuss the scope of the project. He confirms 3:00 was fine, and mentions that he lives in Columbia, so it was not an inconvenience. 3:00 nothing, 3:30 nothing, 4:00 nothing, 4:30 I call his number...no answer. NO CALL, NO SHOW, NO NOTHING. What makes it even more frustrating is he was referred by a really good friend of mine, whose opinion I value highly. I don't know where he went that Friday, but he didn't come here.
