"I am a handyman myself but rarely get the time for my own projects. Joshua came and identified the problem and replaced my stove in adequate time. A true gentleman and professional at its best. Highly recommended."

"The vendor was on time, opened and dismantled the fireplace to allow for proper cleaning. used a drop cloth to protect our hardwood floor and keep the area clean.
Following the inspection of the fireplace,in the course of the review we discovered a valve that could be replaced to provide for a more efficient start-up of the fireplace. It was not a mandatory fix and we were given the option of making the decision. No high pressure sales pitch. We decided to replace the valve given the improved instant start to the fireplace. Great job we would hire them again and recommend them unconditionally.

"McKeever and partner arrived on time and cheerful. He inspected the fireplace, gave an estimate and offered suggestions. He used the proper materials for the job and went the extra mile by including pointing? to some areas not including in quote. They left the job site tidy and secure. I also felt comfortable with the cost. I am a Realtor and had been looking for a "licensed" masonry contractor I could trust and depend on for client needs. Now I have one."

"I had an unusual situation with my flat porch roof ( it was a rubber roof called a 'torch-down') that had some age on it and was starting to leak. I checked out all the reviews for the roofers and was paying special interest in how they dealt with the times when they were called back, because of a problem. I was particularly impressed with how this company dealt with their 'call backs' and made sure everything was taken care of.
I called Jerry Anderson and he came out and looked at the roof and gave me a detailed, written estimate on the spot. My porch roof did not need to be replaced, but have the seams sealed and a new waterproof coating over it. I also had an issue with where the porch meets the house with some rotten wood. We decided we needed to address that also while we were up there. Jerry also pointed out some other small issues with the roof on the house that they would take care of. I was impressed with this since I had only asked for work on the porch.
The day of the job, the crew came on time and began to work. Jerry's son came to the door and introduced himself and let me know they were there. They worked all day and cleaned up the mess as they went. At the end of the day, he came to the door again to show me pictures on his phone where he took pictures of the progress on the roof. I thought that was a nice touch. I did express my concern that the roof would not leak and was reassured that if it did, please call, they would come out. It rained for a few days and no leaks! I was very pleased with the job and how professionally they worked. This is a family business and they really came across like they take pride in their work, something you don't see a lot of these days. I will be calling them again!

"The work went pretty well. I took a look at the work underneath the house and the first time around it wasn't up to standards. They were very willing to come back and fix it."
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.
