"They were great. one Hiccup, they came out to install and had cut the wrong sink size. I specifically wanted a one deep bowl under-mount. They re-cut a new piece of granite. This was performed quickly and installed by the next day. The corner seam looked great. I don't love the way the granite behind the stove is done, as i can see the seams and they are larger than i would like, but overall love my countertops.

"Great work at a fair price! Ryan cleaned/inspected the chimney in my recently-purchased older (70 years) house, and was very careful to protect the rug and furniture near the fireplace. The chimney really needed to be cleaned badly, and due to some of the things he found (birds, squirrel), he inspected further and found that the topper for my chimney is the wrong size and does not offer any deterrent (screen) to keep small animals out of the chimney. He was able to replace the topper that day, and also showed me photos of the top of the chimney, pointing out that previous repairs were done in such a manner as to cause possible water problems in the future. Ryan will return next week to re-cap the top of the chimney as well as the three shoulders. He also cleaned the dryer vent, but since I have such a short dryer vent, and it was already fairly clean, he was kind enough to reduce the price on the dryer vent cleaning. Ryan was friendly, punctual, fair with his pricing, and does great work! Definitely an addition to my "dream team" of go-to companies for help with the house! Highly recommended!

"They did a good job. I have an electric fireplace."
Start with a professional inspection. If damage is limited to a few bricks or the crown, a targeted repair helps keep costs and disruption to a minimum. Severe leaning, widespread mortar failure, or major fire damage usually signals it’s time for a complete teardown and rebuild. Your contractor will outline both price tags, but remember that rebuilding a failing stack is often cheaper than repeated patch jobs and the water leaks or fire hazards they allow.
Cracks provide water with an easy path into the masonry, weakening the bricks and mortar and increasing the risk of collapse or fire. Gaps can also let hot gases and sparks escape into attic spaces. Call a chimney pro as soon as you see cracking so they can seal small joints or recommend a larger rebuild before minor damage turns into a costly emergency.
Smoke rolling back into the room often indicates a blocked flue, a broken damper, or a drafting issue. Have a sweep inspect the damper, flue liner, and any obstructions right away. Most fixes involve clearing debris, repairing the liner, or adjusting the damper so the fireplace pulls air correctly. Don’t light another fire until a professional pinpoints the cause and confirms your system is venting safely.
Most policies cover chimney repairs caused by a sudden, covered event, such as lightning, a fallen tree, or a house fire. They won’t cover damage that stems from neglected maintenance or everyday wear. Review your policy or contact your agent before scheduling work to determine what documentation your insurer requires and what costs you will be responsible for.
Component life spans vary. Clay tile or cast-in-place liners last close to 50 years, while stainless-steel liners last 15 to 20 years. Mortar requires attention every 25 to 30 years, while crowns last 50 to 75 years. Use these numbers as a maintenance roadmap: schedule regular inspections, budget for future upgrades, and replace parts before age-related cracks develop into more significant problems.
