Home Owner's Bricklayers

Brian and his crew did a fantastic job with our new patio. They matched up the flagstone perfectly and we cannot be happier with the result. His pricing came in much lower than other companies that we contacted and the quality of work was exceptional. We highly recommend him for any masonry projects you have for your home.

Great, very happy

Excellent up front communications regarding options and tradeoffs. Prompt project delivery, excellent results that look better than brand new, and the job site was left clean.

Excellent! Great communications and workmanship.

Brian did a great job working with us. Trying to get estimates on this job wasn't easy when I was exchanging emails back and forth, but Brian immediately decided the best way to do this was to actually stop by and take a look and discuss it with us. Also his estimate for the work was more realistic than some of the other ones I was getting. Some were so high that I had to believe they didn't understand the nature of the job, even though they got the same emails and pictures that Brian received. I only needed about 5-10 bricks replaced and I was getting estimates in the thousands of dollars. This is why I appreciated Brian's willingness to actually come by the house and see the job firsthand. Also he directed us to a couple of brickyards to look for matching bricks. The one we liked best was Potomac Valley Brick & Supply in Newington. The guys there were wonderful, both in the office and out in the yard. Finally, Brian and Larry showed up promptly to do the work and it looks great. We couldn't find an exact match with our old bricks (30 years old), but we got close and Brian installed them like they were always there. They did get the mortar to match. I'd have them do any work I might have in the future because they were totally professional and really easy to work with.

The workmanship was excellent, he suggested a pattern for the sidewalk which involved lots of cutting and really looks great. We are proud of our front porch. We recommended him to 3 friends.

Brian did the repair work in a minimum amount of time.

Very fast work, showed up early in the morning on the appointed day and knew just what to do without our oversight. Completed work within a few hours!

I was very satisfied with all three jobs. Brian let me know when he would start the job and kept me informed of the progress along the way. He let me know when he was leaving and cleaned the area each evening before leaving the site. Brian discussed the details of the job to make sure there were no surprises. Weep holes were put in the wall for drainage. These had some sort of backing to allow only water through. Rebarb was also used. I would definitely call Brian again for any brick or masonary job.

Homeowners had replaced the mortar on brick wall inside of our house. When we needed repair on the outside brick I placed a call to Bryan at Homeowners. Bryan came and gave me an estimate and the work was scheduled. Completed on time. No problems!

Contractor was prompt in getting me an estimate which I felt was fair. I got a date to start the work and contractor arrived on time and was very courteous. Job was completed in expected time and I am very pleased with product.

Brian's strengths are responsiveness, assessment of the job, and finishing on time. The job cost what he said it would cost and that was the least expensive option. As he often says: "I don't want to spend you money if I don't have to." I will add that he did look at our chimney a few months later because we were getting a smoke smell inside. He worked his tail off (at no cost to me) to find a solution because he did not believe that there was a problem with the chimney cap or masonry. Ultimately, he made a suggestion after I sent a number of pictures to him and it solved the issue. Again, he did this at no cost to me.
