Get matched with top brick or stone fireplace repairers in Lodi, OH

"The owner and his team were highly professional. We were very impressed with the mason who fixed some of the bricks at the base of the fireplace inside the home. Very detailed work. The owner came for the estimate and was very detailed in providing us with two alternative approaches (rebuilding the large chimney or tearing it down and sealing the roof) and explaining "why" the current leaking existed. He set expectations up front for when and how the work would take place and this is very important when working with service organizations (contractors!)."

"Very well! Scott showed up when he said he would, gave me a fair estimate, did a meticulous job of repairing my backyard fireplace and all the loose mortar on my brick ranch. I was very pleased with his work!"

"I looked for 20 years for someone to repair my bowing/disintegrating foundation/basement wall of my near century home. I found the right team at Koontz. Granted, I had to wait a bit, but it was worth it. They began by getting everything approved by the city and the Landmark Commission. They excavated and demoed the existing wall to footer depth, formed and poured a new footer, built a new wall, and added brick veneer. They also installed new windows, perorated drain tile and new window wells. The surprise came when they inspected existing the downspout pipe and found blockage, so they installed new downspout drain and tied in 3 additional downspouts. Every step of the way they tried to accommodate my persnickety requests, saving my plantings and my existing brick so I could repurpose. They even helped me fix my wheelbarrow. Everyone was delightful, courteous, and respectful."

"Bob was outstanding. Day one he completely demolished the old chimney and removed all of the bricks and wrapped up the existing chimney flu. He returned the next day and was wrapping things up when I returned home from work. The results look perfect. So much, that a neighbor asked me for his name because he said I have the best chimney on the block now. His price was very fair from other companies, he wasn't the cheapest or the most expensive. He was very communicative via text and phone. Great experience. Plus he has a coupon on Angie's List. He was also able to match the current brick on my home."

"Everything went great for this service call. Booked the appointment for a date/time that was convenient, and they offered a 2 hour window of time for the technician to arrive. They phoned the day before the appointment to confirm everything. Dean, the technician, arrived on site within the time window specified (they were on the early side of the time window, which was great). Dean did a very thorough job of inspecting and cleaning our fireplace, and was quite friendly and knowledgeable as well. He took care to make sure and tarp the area where he was working to protect the carpet and cleaned up and put everything back just as it was found. We will definitely use them again for future fireplace needs..."

"I'm a 100% satisfied with my recent chimney rebuild. Owner, Tony, was very responsive to my initial service call. I found him to be very professional, explaining everything that needed to be done. He provided me with an estimate within 24 hours of his visit and did not even ask for a deposit. My chimney cap was a special order and a little delayed. Tony kept me advised every step of the way and did not expect full payment until the job was done. On the day of the repair, his crew arrived on time. They were polite, courteous and willing to answer any questions. They worked diligently, completing the task in approximately 8 hours. I did not see them leave the job site during that time period. When they finished, the construction debris was completely removed from the roof, gutters and yard. Except for the beautiful new chimney, it looked as though they were never here! I would definitely hire them again! I have and will continue to recommend them to anyone in need of masonary services."

"Repairing our slate roof has been a challenge for us because it’s extremely difficult to find contractors that work on slate roofs. Even if you do find someone, they may not have the years of experience needed to successfully solve your problem. We have been fighting a leak around our chimney for about 2 years with numerous attempted repairs by different contractors, but Durable Slate was the only one able to solve the problem. I would recommend them to anyone and both Geoff and Aaron were great to work with."

"First of all, let me just say this - if you are planning <strong>ANY</strong> fireplace work in the Greater Cleveland area and you <strong>DON'T </strong>call Randy, <em>you are doing yourself a HUGE disservice</em>!! <br /> Randy was the ultimate professional from the very first contact.  He responded to my message promptly and arrived for an estimate at the stated time, after calling ahead to assure me he was on his way.  He assessed the job, gave us tons of free advice, which included telling us where we might source the stone we were looking for, and recommending several dealers for the purchase of the gas insert.  He also warned us of some potential rip off companies. <br /> Our project was to raise the level of the hearth two courses of bricks, find and install a stone slab across the top of the hearth, and find and install the direct gas insert.  After giving us an estimate and providing the sourcing information, he assured us he could do the job in the time frame we desired. <br /> We went out to the Kipton Quarry in Oberlin, Ohio and met the owner who raved about Randy.  He showed us lots of stone, and we stood next to the huge saw he uses to cut stone - amazing.  He then gave us an unbelievable price on the size we wanted.  He asked for our email address and later that week he sent pictures of several fresh cut pieces of the type we wanted.  We picked out a beautiful and unique slab of limestone with a brown swirling color  that we would never have found anywhere else (Highly Recommend this quarry if you need stone). <br /> Next we visited two of the shops Randy recommended for the gas insert, and Rick at Heat Exchange on Lorain Road in N Ridgeville was a great source of more information and advice and helped us pick out the proper insert for our project.  Then, he gave us an <em>outstanding </em>deal on the insert and accessories, primarily because we mentioned Randy's name!  <br /> We called Randy to set up the install date and here is the BEST part - Randy went out and picked up the stone and the gas insert himself, and then arrived at the precise time he stated.  He and his assistant were all business as they first laid down tarps and prepared the work area, then removed the old fireplace screen and unit.  They very quickly completed all the tasks, cleaned up all the mess from the job, had the insert working perfectly and explained the operation.  They took NO breaks and even skipped lunch, working about five hours straight to finish the job. <br /> Honestly, it was such a relief to have a true professional complete our project.  We are now planning to have our entire fireplace updated with new stone to replace the old dated red brick ... and of course, no one but these guys will be called. <br />"

"Brick and chimney repair was done on time and in a professional manner."

"I couldn't be more pleased!  At first I was intimidated to request a quote because the website showed these gorgeous carvings and huge patios.  I didn't think my simple front steps would be affordable or worth their time, however, Nick from British Stoneworks responded to my request for a quote promptly.  The quote was fair and his estimated timing to start and complete the job were accurate.  During the process they discovered my foundation was in very good shape and recommended leaving it and saving me $1500 - I thought this was very honest.  The crew was nice and left things neat and tidy each day.  The stonework was impeccable and final clean up good.  I would not hesitate to recommend or use this company again. <br /> <br />"
