"The two-person team from Superior was stellar. We bought our home two years ago, but had never used the fireplace because our chimney needed significant repairs. The Superior team provided a thorough inspection and an itemized list of practical repairs that were fairly priced. We authorized the team to complete the repairs and they were able to complete 90 percent of it the same day (there's a tile repair that has to wait until next week). The team was professional, courteous, and clearly takes pride in their work. We're looking forward to firing up our fireplace this fall and winter."

"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 originally thought we needed to fix some stone on our entry stairs and porch. Mario and his team found that the stone was too deteriorated to repair and the underlying structure was also deteriorated. They took the time necessary to get things fixed and looking amazing. They also looked over our 100 year old brick home and repaired masonry where necessary. Fantastic 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. :)"

"Greg did a beautiful job of refacing and installing a new fireplace, He was very patient in explaining all the options available, gave us a great price, and kept us informed every step of the way. Great attention to all the details. Professional from start to finish. I highly recommend him."

"They did a great job, the fireplace works great.  All the prep work was done professionally, the results are excellent.  They were neat and clean.  The instructions on using the fireplace were provided very patiently.  The price was very very good.  I would recommend this company to anyone needing fireplace or vent work. <br />"

"Miro and his crew recently rebuilt my chimney, replaced some deteriorating bricks and did spot tuckpointing. He responded promptly, provided a reasonable price for the work, and completed the work in a timely and professional manner. The finished work looks fantastic. I would not hesitate to use MHT again, thanks Miro!"
