Best Masonry Repair Nearby Ashburn

I wish there were a "maybe" option for "Would you use this provider in the future." First, the positives: Mike was incredibly responsive throughout--called to follow up multiple times, showed up when he said he would, etc. On the major parts of the job (repairing the front stoop, fixing cracked sidewalks), the work seemed to be done well. My frustration was with the repairs to the brick on the house. During our walk-through, I pointed out the areas that I wanted fixed--mostly cracks, with a few holes were wires were pulled out, etc. After the repairs, I was left with a cracked brick in the middle of an area where they'd pointed the grout and missed cracks/holes entirely. In a couple of areas, the workers had removed spray foam but didn't fix the cracks/holes beneath. When I sent the pics to Mike, he said he'd send someone back to fix the missed areas, but on the cracked brick in the middle of the repaired area his response was, well, you didn't ask me to replace that brick. Yeah...I'd assumed that was included in the "I'd like this area fixed" direction. He sent a mason out again, and most of my concerns were fixed, but I was still left with some damaged areas. When I again talked to Mike about it, and suggested I would have preferred a complete repair, even if it meant a few hundred dollars' higher bill, his response was, "Well, most people don't want the bill to go up--thanks for understanding." So, I'm torn; I think this company would probably do a good job on a new project or big replacement, but I don't think I would recommend for repairs, unless the homeowner were willing to walk the property with a piece of chalk, marking every single thing s/he wanted repaired.

They chimney repair was fine, but the brick steps repair was poorly done. They had to come back 3 times to fix it and it just looks sloppy.

excellent. They matched the existing mortar color so well that you can't see the repair. the pad looks good- sure beats the old bricks

They were the cheapest by far and were willing to do the repair without rebuilding the whole chimney, although they did recommend that we look into that in the future. Everyone else wanted to do a rebuild for way more money.

I called the company to request an estimate to repair a crack in a limestone hearth. They did not return my call until much later. It may not have been something that they could fix, but the least they could have done was return my call. Thus, I give them low marks in responsiveness and customer service.

We couldn't be happier with the work! We had been having issues with water in our basement, and we wanted to try repairing the bricks on the outside before looking into more invasive fixes. They came out to look at the exterior of the house, and determined that it would be more work than our BIG DEAL. They pointed out the work that would be needed, including a powerwash of the area, fixing some concrete work that was clearly done by the previous homeowner, repointing some brickwork, and filling in some holes in the mortar. They were late in coming out the day the looked at the work (hence the B in timing), but they did call and let me know they were running late, which I appreciated. We liked their work so much that we are having them come back out to look at the rest of our house and see if there is additional work that needs to be done.

It went very well. Contractors were very professional and knowledgeable. Chimney inspection was very fast. I had a crack in my chimney which they fixed the same day. I would highly recommend them. In addition, I plan on using them for all of my future chimney inspections. Very pleased and satisfied customer.

This was a really highly rated and in demand company so I knew that I had to be patient. The work was outside on the roof so the weather had to be optimum. They explained to me in advance and it clearly states that "materials will be paid by owner" so I did have to pay for bags of mortar. They did an Excellent job.

I have an old end unit rowhouse in Upper Fells Point that had a large crack in the brick extending from the 1st floor through the 2nd floor. Stinebaugh provided what I would consider to be a fair price to complete the work. The job came out looking great, and they ended up having some extra time on the contract which they used to replace a few bricks and patch at the front of the house. I plan to use Stinebaugh again in the fall to fix/replace exterior cracked brick as well as replace all four front window lintels.

Once the job was done it looks fantastic. The issue was purchased 3 months before the company showed up to do the work. Took over a month for them to come out after purchase to consult on the job. Then it took twice weekly calls For over a month before they came out to do what took only 45 minutes to complete! Paid for 3 hours of work and job took only 3 months, many calls, and 45 minutes to complete. Understand other customers wanted them to do more work once they arrived but felt they should honor their promise to have completed job in a timely manner.

The workers did a very thorough job of cutting open and filling the cracks above and filling the areas below. After 2 weeks one of the repaired cracks did not seal properly, so the company returned and redid the job. It's been several weeks since the redo, and the cracks seemed to be completely sealed.

We had multiple cracks in our sidewalk and they agreed to fill them with this big deal purchase. After they filled the cracks and the concrete settled, the color of the cement was completely discolored from the original color. I emailed them two weeks ago and they agreed that the color was off and agreed to come out and fix it. I have emailed them since and have not heard anything back. They have not came out and tried to fix this issue. I even paid an additional $25 for the materials.

He's always done a great job--and he guarantees his work and will come back immediatelyto fix anything you are unsatisfied with/or doesn't go well (for example, he came back within a day to fix some bubbles in the paint and a crack that appeared in some plaster). He also noticed that some of my interior doors weren't closing properly and fixed them without charging us.

The contractor conducted measured and careful repairs on our stone patio. The repairs are done so expertly that they are hardly visible. The patio is restored to near original condition. We are very pleased with this provider and would use them again for other masonry projects.

Mr. Gomez came by and we walked about the house looking at issues, he is very good at seeing areas needing work, and showed me some things that I had not noticed. We worked up an estimate for fixing areas in the brick mortar that needed to be removed and replaced. I added in the repair of a safety railing on top of the outside basement steps, after 50 years the metal railing's mounting post area had rusted out and the concrete pad was gone, some bricks needed replacement. Mr. Gomez gave me his recommendations and cost estimate on fixing it, and he was spot on for what was needed. During the work on the metal railing where I thought we had only one support post rusted out, they found that all of the post were rusted ( 3 instead of 1), his change order for additional work was provide and accepted. Overall they did a great job on the repair. Price for the additional 2 post was not just two times the one post, he recognized that he was already on sight with the welder and the cost should not be the same for one as three. Fair and just in his cost estimates. Good job on trying to match the color of the old mortar, visually the job looks very good. I am happy with his work and would hire them again for more work.

They were on time and worked until the job was done. The cracked bricks were taken out and replaced.

did everything, saw my brick steps had a crack and fixed them at no charge. Great folks

They did a great job. I was able to schedule the repairs the same week as the estimate. The price was better than other estimates I received., would certainly use them again.

Mr. Leopold was the 4th company I contacted. As part of the items we needed to fix for the sale of our home, we needed someone to install a chimney cap and inspect the area around it, as there was a small plant growing out of it. The first company came and did an inspection and said the entire area around the chimney cap needed to be redone, as well as a new flue, at a cost of $2800. Second company never showed. Third company said he wouldn't come out unless I agreed to install a chimney cap that cost $350. Finally read the reviews on Angie's List for Leopold Chimney and while I played telephone tag with Mr. Leopold for a few days, he was extremely responsive. He came out, installed a new chimney cap, and sealed some minor cracks around the area. Very professional and trustworthy and I highly recommend this contractor.

Rigo was fast, responsive and fairly priced. He was helpful in identifying most cost-effective measures for repairing deteriorating mortar work and repairing cracked stone pavers. Very happy with the work and would use him again.
