Brick & Stone Masonry Contractors in Richmond, VA

"We found BR Bowles LLC on Home Advisor and checked the reviews carefully before calling. We called the owner in the evening and he came out to give us an estimate the next day. He reviewed our project, made some suggestions that we eventually accepted, and returned a written estimate the next day. His price was very competitive with other estimates and said the project would take 8 days. He started on the day he said he would and finished on budget in 7 days including a day lost to rain. The project was to tear out a sagging brick walkway/entranceway and a low retaining wall and replace both with stone. The resulting work is beautiful. Mr. Bowles does not claim to be a designer, but he certainly helped by telling us what different choices would look like. He also regraded our driveway and installed a new loose surface. He has been working in the paving industry for all of his career, and he has the experience the equipment and the help to handle jobs much more complex than ours so this was a no brainer for him. Thanks to the equipment he has and having the right people to operate it, he was able to finish quickly and on budget. He is very confident about what he can and can't do and will not take work that he cannot do we. I would definitely hire him for paving, brick and stone and other landscaping projects. Finally, we hired his company to install a brick walkway and retaining wall and already had a proposal from another company for the landscaping. Based on his work on the paving project, we hired the company to do the landscaping needed to finish the project. It included minor grading, selection, mulching and installation of of plants and minor lighting work. The work was done on budget, on time and looked much better than we had hoped. I will definitely hire BR Bowles, LLC for projects in the future."

"Scott Newsome did a great job on our brick walkway (which was in really bad shape). We were really flexible with timing, and Scott was great with communicating to us what timing would work for him. It worked out perfectly and we are so pleased with the work - he went above and beyond. Afterwards he advised me on what I could do to extend the life of my brick and what the best products were to use on it. I would recommend him to anyone looking for masonry work around their house. He really knows what he is talking about and his price is very fair."

"From the initial contact to the completed project, we were very pleased with our experience with Croxton's Inc. Mr. Croxton really listened to what we had envisioned and came up with the perfect design for our addition. The crews he uses were professional and very friendly. And most importantly, the price was very reasonable. We will definitely use this company again for any future projects."

"They put in a really nice brick paver patio for my backyard. It turned out great and I am very happy."

"It is with deep satisfaction that I recommend Gradys Painting and Plastering & Construction. Mr. George Grady is a skilled craftsman. He was hired to correct long neglected and extensive masonry and window issues on a large, beautiful Presbyterian Church built in the Civil War era in Philadelphia. The property was neglected with only minimal maintenance performed over the last 40+ years. The building was in severe decline and in need of stabilization and restoration on many fronts. Cracked ledge plates were chipped out and reestablished, internal walls damaged by leakage were broken out and repaired, brickwork was repointed and in severe cases reestablished to original strength and beauty. Leaks around the base of the building were addressed to stabilize deterioration of the foundation. Large rotted window sills under beautiful stained glass windows were restored after significant masonry reestablishment due to water damage under the rotted out sills. Broken and missing stained glass windows are in the process of repair and replacement. The process started with new metal frames cast by Mr. Grady. The new frames will hold clear painted replications of the original stained glass, also crafted by Mr. Grady. Regular windows all around the church and manse were also repaired and restored. Roof leaks were accurately identified and repaired. A sagging plaster ceiling has been torn out and restored. All this work was done by Mr. Grady alone or with an occasional helper. He worked with care, expertise and respect for the original structure. The results far exceeded our expectations and have injected new life into a building on the brink. This building, owned by the Presbytery of Philadelphia, now houses a new urban ministry in a newly gentrifying area of the city. We are happy to have had the good fortune to be connected to Gradys Painting and Plastering & Construction by Service Magic."
