Get matched with top brick or stone fireplace repairers in La Jolla, CA

"Have three fireplaces. All the chimneys needed a lot of repair work and needed chimney caps. Went ahead and had them to do all the work. Obviously was much more expensive than just having one chimney swept. Would hire them again."

"Paul made the necessary repairs/upgrades and we could not be more pleased with both him, and his work. We light the fireplace regularly and we would not even think about using anyone else for any fireplace needs that we may have. We highly recommend Paul and Custom Masonry & Fireplace Design."

"We have used Weathermaster Roofing several times over the past 7 years for residential and commercial roofing projects. At the company helm are a father and son team with a true passion for roofing and extensive experience and knowledge for all roof construction issues. There is no problem they can't solve. We have used them for complete roof replacements, major and extensive roof repairs for leaks, replacement of roof skylights, and remediation and repair of commercial roofs. Their repairs stand the test of time and their new roof installations are of the highest quality construction and materials. They have very strict standards that they adhere to for function and aesthetics. In roofing it's what's underneath that counts, and Chris and CJ Wilder are perfectionists in their attention to all the details that go into engineering a tightly constructed roof. The quality of workmanship has always been excellent and they never cut corners. They are the most honest, ethical company we have ever worked with. Their prices are very reasonable and they don't up-sell. They recommend only what is truly necessary. For leaks in existing roofs, they are true experts in finding and diagnosing the problem and solving it in the most intelligent and cost effective way. For new roof replacements, the quality of their work and materials is apparent when you first view all the steps included in their detailed construction bid, but it's not just the attention to detail, but how they deliver on those details that sets them apart from other companies. For example, this year they did a complete roof replacement which included replacement of 100 lineal feet of fascia boards. We expected with that amount of board replacement to have a fair amount of stucco patching, but they removed the boards so cleanly that there was only one very small spot that had to be patched. They primed and painted all 6 sides of each newly installed board prior to installation to prevent future rot. The old underlayment was completely removed so that the roof diaphragm could be thoroughly inspected and all areas repaired before installing new double layers of underlayment. There's nothing better than feeling confident that the very bottom foundation layers of your new roof are sound and secure from the start. They use premium caulk and pay a lot of attention to make sure all the joints and gaps are caulked for a tight installation. When an unexpected windstorm developed during construction, Chris returned on a Sunday to ensure that the roof-in-progress was secure for the storm. Every project they've ever done has always been with the same attention to detail using the best materials and craftsmanship. Over the years they have established an excellent track record and we feel they are the best in town for roofing. There may be a wait to schedule with them, but they are definitely worth the wait."

"Mike Larsen of Tru-Block Masonry came to my residence and provided an estimate to construct a long retaining wall. I called Tru-Block Masonry because they seemed to have plenty of positive reviews across the various web-sites and he checked out fine with the San Diego BBB and the CSLB. He spent close to an hour with me and explained exactly how the job would be accomplished and made several recommendations. He was very pleasant, knowledgeable, and basically a very professional individual. I believe he would have done a great job constructing the retaining wall had I contracted with him. <br />"

"Rick came and mentioned the chimney didnot need cleaning. We are glad that he was earnest about the work and did not charge us for cleaning. I would recommend Rick to anyone who needs help with their Chimney. <br />"

"After Alex the owner read my review and comments he actually called me and came to our home and gave us a check for the overcharge!  He was super nice and explained we were charged twice on an item which I believed was the case too.  He did an inspection and said our fireplace was good.  He did mention a crack in the sealer on roof which first person did not but said because we had a stainless steel liner we were fine. He is resending invoice with comments and pictures and I feel much better about this company then I did before."

"We really enjoyed the team that we worked with. Ricky and team did great work reviving our front door! They even repaired some broken roof tiles! They were reasonable, and the whole house looks great. We will invite them back any time."

"It was great. Tom and Tyler showed up on time and explained a few things to me and got right to work. They were very friendly and the service was at a great price. They were thorough and very neat, no mess was made, they even layed down moving blankets on my wood floor to ensure no mess. I had good news because I had no cracks in my chimney. They cleaned the chimney installed a new spark arrester and fixed my damper all within one hour. Tom gave me some tips on how to heat up my fireplace before I put wood in as well as how often I should have my chimney cleaned. I will absolutely hire this company again and I will recommend them to others."

"It was kind of hard to get on Jim's schedule but it was worth the wait. Jim's crew showed up before 7:30am and patiently waited until we were ready for them to start work. We left for work and returned around 4:30pm. If Jim hadn't been there when we returned I would swear the work had been done by fireplace faeries. It was as if they were never there except the firebox and chimney lining had been completely replaced. Jim even touched up some of the antique tile on the fireplace face that had cracked over time. It's not perfect but I don't think it could be done better and he didn't even charge us for it. Jim is a fountain of information when it comes to old houses and fireplaces. He was able to date our house to the mid-1910's just by looking at the fireplace tile. He was able to give us a complete history of the manufacturer of the tile as well as the firebrick used to build the firebox. If you like old houses, you can spend a lot of time talking to Jim about them and San Diego history. We're still waiting for the concrete from the thermal pour to cure so we haven't used the fireplace yet but we're extremely happy with the work performed by Jim and his crew. Out of all of the work we've had done on the house it is perhaps the best execution and the best value."

"Excellent job, completed quickly and professionally. He also informed us of code regulations for our hearth, of which we were unaware and have since fixed. We also used them 7 years ago for repairs to the fireplace box itself and called them back for the new work. <br />"
