"We had a wonderful experience working with Anthony at A-1 Safety Chimney Service, Inc. Anthony came out to do an initial inspection and was extremely thorough. He spent time explaining the issues to my husband and I, showing us photos he'd taken and answering all of our questions. When Anthony came out to do the repair work, he was efficient and once again took time to discuss the work he had done with us in detail. We were able to build a fire in the fireplace that same night! I would highly recommend Anthony and A-1 to anyone in need of chimney repairs."

"The crew did a great job reflecting all needed repairs out somewhat dilapidated fireplace had, and completed the repairs in the same day. Great service."

"Bryan from Pratt's was great to work with. We had not used and of our fireplaces since we bought the house a few years ago. Two of them had old gas logs and the third had never been used since the house was built. I initially called Pratt's to inspect the chimneys and to discuss options on converting one from gas logs back to wood burning and another to have some sort of updated gas option put in. Upon inspection Bryan noted that all three had damage and it would not be safe to use without repairing them. He also determined none of them needed sweeping and that in fact the one in the basement had never been used. However, this one was not capped properly so the flue had accumulate some rust over the years. He showed me live video of the inside of the chimneys to show me the damage to them and why they were not safe to use as is. He proposed options on installing a gas insert in one, relining the one we wanted to burn wood in again and replacing the flue for the one in the basement. While we selected the options we wanted for the gas insert Bryan was very responsive and took the time answer all of our questions. When it came time to do the install Bryan ran into a couple of the issues with the gas insert installation. The backing for the insert was wrong for the manufacturer but Brian was able to track a proper one down so we didn't have to wait for the correct one to be sent by the manufacturer. The other issue was related to the existing gas line into the fireplace. It stuck out slightly too far for the insert to be centered properly and the line was completely cemented into the wall so it could not be adjusted. Brian went out of his way to talk to his contacts including the manufacturer on options that could be taken to slightly and safely modify the outside of the gas insert to be able to center it. Due to his efforts they were able to properly center the insert. The insert looks and works great. The new flues and caps also look great. Definitely recommend Pratt's Chimney service."

"If you have tired old dark bricks or stone fireplaces or exterior on your house, Brick Transformers can add new life to it by using stains not paint. When it's completed, it looks like it was always that color, not painted. Harry Brax, the owner, does a superior job giving new life to an ugly duckling. I can't be more please with the way he transformed by fireplace. For this size and stone fireplace it took 7 hours, but only because he takes his talent to perfection. After sealing off the space, he begins with the first step as shown in the video. After that he starts to critique the hues to get the right balance of shading. If your looking, which you are if you're here, you won't be disappointed. This company is Professional, talented, perfectionist, friendly, on-time."

"We used Mario and his team for two recent projects. The first was repair of our exterior fireplace and the second was removing and replacing all of the stone around our pool and patio. Both jobs went very well. Mario was quick to respond and provide a quote for both jobs. His bids were inline with the others we received. We chose him for the fireplace repair and it went so well we called him back for the larger project-which was extensive. For both jobs Mario and his team worked hard, kept to their schedule and maintained a clean job site. They delivered as promised without delay. It was clear that they went the extra mile to make sure everything was done properly! The end product is really great and we'd highly recommend F&M to others looking for someone to do stone/brick work."

"Did a great job. Shower moisture and the "polar vortex" combined to cause the mortar to fail in many of the joints in our bathroom window. The original contractor who installed the window priced the repair job more than the original installation, and much higher than Coast-to-Coast. Romen was very responsive to a couple of changes that were needed after his men had completed the job. He came out right away to make sure that the job was done right. We'd hire him again, but hopefully won't have to. :)"

"Was an excellent experience working with Greg and Fireplace by Design. We interviewed several fireplace "stores", but no one showed the desire to help us through the process...(we had no fireplace in the home), as Greg did. He was patient, professional in every respect, and always had our best interest in mind. A comment we often get from people seeing it for the first time is that they assumed it was always part of the house. We love the results and my family is enjoying the fireplace often!!"

"I've had my chimney rebuilt twice and the flashing replaced this past Fall following 2013s winter damage.  Sadly, the problem persists. This year's cold, snowy winter resulted in more ice jams, especially in the gutter area below the chimney. There are brick chips in the gangway and the chimney wall in the dining room is stained again. It's time to check out other options.  I called Sol for information about chimney liners.  He responded immediately to my Angie's email and answered all of my questions. I need to consult with gutter and other specialists before initiating work but I will certainly call Sol to bid on the liner.   <br />"
