Get matched with top brick or stone fireplace repairers in Durham, NC

"Everything went well. The mortar color matched good for a 30+ year old house. The crew arrived and were very professional and quick to do the job."

"

I needed Joe and his son Tony on two occasions over the past two months.  Each time, I was met with friendly, on time service and very fair pricing.  Joe is very conscientious about doing a good job, and I like the chemistry he and his son have.  They work well together, fast and efficient.

Joe takes great pride in his work.  Of course, I'm in a rush to get things done, but after a particularly rainy weekend, Joe completed half my job one day and recommended that I wait two more days to let the bricks dry out as the humidity and moisture in the bricks were making the job look presentable but not right.  Joe wanted to do it right, which I respect.

I would use Brick Solutions again and again, and I would have no problem referring them to anyone else.

Ed called me the next morning (~10 hours after my email) and told me he was in the area and could stop by and take a look.  I was on my way to work but described the issue and told him to feel free and take a look.  He called me back about an hour later and discussed what he thought the issues were.  He explained he didn't think it was a leaky skylight, but more of a water issue from the gutter downspouts.  He suggested a simple and cheap fix that he thought would solve the issue.  He said if that didn't work there were more invasive options we could move forward with but suggested trying the simple fix first (which I greatly appreciated).  He suggested we just get a handy man to do the fix - they do larger repairs.

He was very professional, knowledgeable and helpful.  I appreciated the honesty and the suggested simple fix.  We live in a fairly large house and I am always skeptical to have contractors come over because very often, they see the size of our house and see dollar signs.  This was not the case with Ed.  I will definitely call him when it is time to replace our roof or we have any other leaks.

Thanks Ed!

"The guys that came to my house were Jerry and Ricky. They were really easy-going, covered their shoes before they came into my house and were really nice to dogs that were barking like crazy. They were really kind to my little boy that seemed to talk them to death.
After the repair, they came back out two times to make sure that everything was still working fine, at no charge.
I would definitely use them again.

"They did a good job.  I have an electric fireplace."

"I highly recommend Gary & Richard. There was a lot of work done, and it was done exceptionally! The entrance, exit, and restroom doors to my restaurant were in great need of repair. The doors are used heavily. Richard was very thorough and has an excellent eye for detail and takes enormous pride in his work. If you need a Handy Man Service, go with Gary's Handyman Service! Sincerely, Isaac Evans - Cary, NC."

"METAL WORKS & IMPROVEMENTS INC only works with metal roofs and I think I'm going to go with shingle. Their responsiveness and professionalism were excellent. "

"Well, until they left. Randy was to return to 1) replace a cast iron shower pan that cracked during installation 3) fix the buckled vinyl flooring his crew put in one bathroom and the pantry and 3) mount a chimney cap. Never did. But the worst is that Randy took a 200 year old slab of old-growth pine (approximately 30" wide by 42" long by 2.5" thick) salvaged from my great-great-grandparents' home and promise me a coffee table. TWO YEARS LATER I CAN'T EVEN GET THE SLAB BACK."

"Roof repair was fine. My gutters needed two elbow spouts installed.
One on the left and one on the right.
Unfortunately they had only one elbow spout on the truck at the day of repair.
The missing elbow duct was not replaced until earlier this month after I had
to call the owner from Aug. 2011 to Feb. 2012.
He told me to engage another company to replace the
elbow spout and I left numerous messages for them but they never responded.
I continued calling CSR every 4 -5 weeks to remind them.
In Nov. the owner of SCR called the lady and told her to add this part to my roof.
Unfortunately he left that msg on my answering machine.
I called and reported same to Son of owner.
I finally called again earlier this month and the owner of the company exploded
on the phone and thold me he had never met anyone that had "hounded" him
this much and to get the builder to take care of the missing part. The builder
never agreed to repair anything claiming a short two year roof warranty.
(Another story all together)....
I reminded CSR of the circumstances of the situation and FINALLY a company
came and installed the missing elbow spout.
It took from Augl 2011 until Feb. 2012 to get this missing part installed.
I did not appreciate being scolded for asking for something to complete the roof repair 100%.
It is not my problem how they stock their truck!"

"It went great and they did a fantastic job. For the fireplace wouldn't burn so they clean the glass and clean the whole inside of the fireplace."
