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

"After having Jerry come out for a cleaning and inspection, I learned that the firebox and chimney required some repairs before the fireplace could be used safely as a result of water damage. A subsequent visit revealed that it had even worse structural issues than originally thought, and we decided to convert to an electric fireplace to avoid the higher costs of restoring it. Kevin and Tyson arrived on time, provided friendly service and completed the installation in a professional manner. The one area I think could stand improvement is communication with the homeowner when questions arise about estimates, fireplace products, etc. But I wouldn’t hesitate to hire them again."

"Provided a reasonable estimate for chimney repairs being requested by our home buyer in the post inspection agreement."

"My chimney was deteriorating and after struggling with it and a leaky roof for the past several years, I decided to make the plunge to have it fix once and for all. After receiving recommendations and reviewing Angie’s list, I asked 7 companies for bids and 4 responded. I had the first company take pictures so that I could see the problem(s) first hand, which proved to be invaluable for subsequent bids and discussions. One said for $500 he’d stucco the old chimney and “if” that didn’t stop the leaks, he’d recommend I get the chimney replaced. I sent pictures to Integrity Masonry and asked for a bid to either fix or replace it. Upon reviewing the photos, Arnold Pack, the owner, sent me a bid in April to replace the chimney. The third company offered to do water seal, crown coat, & flashing seal for $707 but could not guarantee the warranty on water seal treatment without my purchasing a flue liner for $879. REALLY?!?! In mid July, the last company interviewed recommended the chimney be torn down and rebuild for $5,475 & ‘recommended’ the flue be lined with an aluminum flex liner for $815, or a stainless steel liner for $1,375 – total cost $6290 or $6850. Of course, I did my due diligence regarding the “liner” and found it wasn’t necessary for my situation. After 4 months of bids, discussions & more aggravation, I contacted Integrity Masonry, accepted their bid and they began the first week of August. In a word, this is a GREAT small business! The Integrity Masonry crew pictured below (Jeremiah [Arnold’s son], Billy, Tim and Arnold ) are amazingly hard workers, and really good guys. They dismantled the old chimney on the first day, carrying all the old bricks off the roof in buckets, removed 2 clay flues that were broken, then cleaned off the roof and other debris before they left. Arnold bought me three different sets of bricks and I selected the color that I wanted. As the guys began dismantling the chimney, I showed Arnold the ceiling leak inside the house as well as the chimney clean out cavity in the basement, which he emptied. He didn’t think the chimney caused the leak, then sent in one of his crew, a former roofer, who was also skeptical that the chimney was the case of the leak. During the course of dismantling the chimney and examining the roof, they found that water was getting in behind a downspout, seeping in and around some loose roof tiles and oddly angled areas that were hard to get at and hadn’t been properly sealed. The next day with bricks and clay flue liners in tow (having scoffed at the notion that I needed either an aluminum or stainless steel liner), the crew built the new chimney in one long and hot summer day. Since the black chimney cap screen which I already had was in good shape with a little rust, I got some Krylon metal spray paint and Arnold gave it a few coats which prevented me from having to purchase a new one. Finally, since the leaky roof still needed to be addressed, on a subsequent day, Arnold returned with the roofer, and having figured out what the problem was, spent the good part of a third day doing this repair which was above and beyond the chimney work, for which I paid an additional $125. And thus far, no more leaks! Whoopee! THIS OUTFIT IS ONE OF THE BEST-KEPT SECRETS IN COLUMBUS. Integrity Masonry is ABsolutely FABulous! The guys worked hard and the price was more than fair! Salt-of-the-earth guys with an honest day’s work ethic. You can’t get any better than that. I will definitely hire Integrity Masonry again. Kudos to them!"

"Utmost Renovations was definitely a pleasurable experience. Mark, Van, and their entire team was professional and always available to answer any questions. We are very pleased with the outcome of each project which included a new sidewalk, a brick retaining wall, repointing the original bricks on the house, exterior chimney repairs, new concrete front step, and resolved a concern regarding our garage apron. My husband and I appreciated each team member and a special thanks to Van. Van is a very valuable asset and is very knowledgeable. He was very thorough with explaining the process for each project. We aslo appreciated that he took the time to share his product knowledge which has been most helpful to us for other repairs being managed by my husband and I. Thank you so much!"

"Jody Plant is a true professional who does excellent work. Jody was kind, courteous, and communicative throughout the process and the masonry repair he completed made the brick portion of my house look as good as new. I highly recommend Plant Masonry."

"I called and they were here in about 40 minutes after the call. They did a great job. spend about 20-25 minutes checking and inspecting, including cleaning the parts of the gas fireplace, and they were very careful of my floors and rugs, they were very neat and tidy, put down cover to protect everything. The charge was a bit high compared to other service providers but they were very thorough and they even went outside to check the chimney and the vents. They made some suggestions or recommendation to seal the chimney top. I would definitely hire them again in the future."

"They were one of the few firms that responded. They were excellent, professional, and did the work in a timely manner. I would recommend them for anyone needing masonry work or chimney repair. They were easy to work with."

"Excellent!!! Ed and Mike were both professional, knowledgeable, and had the job done quickly. The area was cleaner after they were done than when they started. It is difficult to imagine a better company and two representatives of the company than Ed and Mike! I would strongly recommend this company for any wood fireplace or chimney repair work!"

"Excellent job. After it was finished, the foreman came out to inspect, and decided that more slate repair needed to be done. This was done the following week."

"MIKE PHILLIPS WAS VERY NICE. THEY WERE PROMPT AND DID A GREAT JOB. I THOUGHT THE PRICE WAS VERY REASONABLE GIVEN THAT ANOTHER COMPANY (ROOFING COMPANY) CLAIMED THE CHIMNEY HAD TO BE TORN DOWN TO THE ROOF-LINE AND REBUILT FOR SOMETHING LIKE $3500.00. WE WERE VERY HAPPY WITH THE WORK DONE BY PHILLIPS MASONRY."
