Get matched with top brick or stone fireplace repairers in Ashland, VA

"I hired Alan to replace a badly deteriorated garage floor and to install a parking pad next to the garage off an alley. When he came to the site to give the estimate he also pointed out some failed mortar joints and significant stair-step cracking along the rear wall. In all, he and his crew repaired multiple sections of old mortar and replaced a rusty lintel; removed the old concrete garage floor; prepared the garage and exterior parking pad, removing dirt and a tree; formed up the new 18x18 garage floor and 20x20 parking pad, with a 4' apron; and poured the new concrete with appropriate finishes. I am absolutely thrilled with the finished product. Alan and his crew were a delight to work with. He clearly communicated changes in plans to work around weather and set expectations on scheduling and how long it would be before the concrete would be ready to be parked on. The site was left clean and neat at the end of each day, and the substantial, unavoidable disruption of the alley was repaired at the end of each day to make it presentable and drivable. No damage was done to my property or neighboring properties. I expected the initial estimate to be significantly higher, yet Alan committed to it, and the only small changes were due to additional work I requested while they were there. I could not be happier with how this project came together, and Alan was a delight to work with. I have several other smaller projects planned over the next few years and hope I'll be able to use him for those, as well!"

"We wanted to enlarge and replace our original-to-the-house front stoop. I called many masons to get bids and Rock Solid were not only the best price, but the most professional—always responsive to my phone calls, following up with a quote when he said he would and showing up to do the work on time and schedule. He helped us figure out the best design for our new stoop and I was impressed by his level of detail even when choosing the right brick color to match our foundation and the design we wanted. He included us on all decisions so there were no surprises. I can't say enough good things about our experience and Rock Solid. He's the best in what I found to be a very flaky industry."

"A separate roofing contractor (Hermitage) installed the cricket. Chimney Saver sent masons to do the brickwork, then came back for waterproofing. Finally the chimney no longer leaks and has not leaked in last 2 years."

"The team of two arrived on time and finished the job in one day. I had two separate chimneys to be repaired as well as cleaned and both were done well. Also the guys removed a very heavy fireplace insert for me that I was unable to move myself and I am very appreciative of that!"

"Marvin came the same day I called, was right on time, and inspected and cleaned our chimney. He maintained a clean environment and packed up everything when he was finished. Very courteous, friendly, and professional! <br />"

"There were some minor communication issues at the beginning of the job as we were in Richmond when work began. Major issues were discovered by Stevens workmen when the original roof was removed. Management recommended a contractor who removed a sliding door and replaced it with a window. The third party contractor did a wonderful job, but the billing process was poor. They were expensive, but we felt we were treated fairly by both Stevens and the contractor. We were very pleased with the quality of all the work that was done. The roof work was $9,000. The contractor's work was in addition to that. Interestingly near the end of our project the contractor and Stevens merged their businesses, which I think will create and even better Stevens. Stevens will benefit from the contractor's expertise and the contractor will no longer have to bother with administration, which Stevens did well."

"Cavie Thrift showed up at the appointed time and looked at our problem. He said that what was occurring was a natural condition due to how the posts supporting the center beam of the house moves slightly with the seasons. He indicated that he could have his company install two or three additional posts in the crawl space deeper in the soil, but he thought that such was not needed because the movement was so slight. Mr. Thrift concluded that nothing should be done at the present time, but if there was a noticeable increase in the separation of the countertop and backsplash, to call him. I found out later from a tile installer that grout cracks between granite and marble was to be expected because two separate materials respond different to atmospheric conditions in the house. <br /> We were most appreciative of Mr. Thrift's honest appraisal because he could have told us that an expensive repair was needed. I would not hesitate to contact his company in the future if the problem worsens. <br />"

"Arrived on time, chimed up the ladder to examine the project came down with a reasonable quote to correct the cracks and install a cap. The end product was perfect. If you are in need for chimney work call Castle!!!!"

"Went well. Cleaner explained how we could maintain woodpellet stoke and helped block off chimney we didn't need"

"Wes and Kevin did a great job of repairing our kitchen and bathroom faucets. They were very friendly and respectful to us and knowledgeable as well. Thank you very much. Tim Marsh"
