"Chuck Hipp and his employee, Antonio, did a phenomenal job! The brick fireplace was sinking and the bricks were separating from the wall. After investigation Chuck determined that there were no footers under the fireplace. He installed new footers, supported the brick wall and reattached all the bricks and suggested the fireplace be covered with stucco and tiles to match the Spanish style of the house. The fireplace turned out beautifully and became the true focal point of the living room. The house was listed for sale and I know the beautiful stucco fireplace helped to sell the home quickly. We moved to our new 1948 house and discovered that the chimney needed to be rebuilt. I received a bid from A Step in Time chimney sweeps which was astronomical. I then consulted a structural engineer who confirmed the bid was outrageously high. He recommended a good brickmason be consulted. I found Chuck Hipp and Hipp Masonry Works on Angies List. Chuck investigated the problem and determined that the chimney needed to be torn down and rebuilt at the roof line and he was able utilize new bricks with old bricks to match the new chimney addition to the existing home and bottom half of the chimney. He asked me to drive around and take photos of chimneys I liked and he would duplicate it. I found a chimney on a beautiful older home and Chuck was able to duplicate it to suit my brick, Tudor home. It is gorgeous and best of all the fireplace can now be used for a beautiful wood fire. He then removed and replaced all the broken, damaged bricks throughout the exterior of the house using mainly old bricks salvaged room the chimney rebuild. Chuck and Antonio did incredible work and at half the price of the previous bid. Before they left they brought in topsoil to fill in any holes in our lawn due to the work and they used soil to regrade the back of the house which had been the cause of damage to lower bricks. They also repointed the front steps and remortered the boxes for the exterior porch lights which were hanging loose from the brick exterior. I will only call the HippMasonry Works for any brick work."

"I am unhappy with the end result. The kitchen tile is okay however, after paying an extra $100 to have a wood trim install in my foyer entrance, I have been living with a defective product since late March. The trim is being held by a bucket full of book to prevent us to trip and hurt ourself. Contacted the company more than once , was promise the problem would be fix however, I am still waiting."

"The service was great. They were prompt, their work was good, and I had no complaints."

"I found them very up-front. They also had the best warranty though their overall price was a bit higher than some others. I think it was worth it. While I had rain delays, they maintained contact and kept be comfortable with the deal. Final product has no issues and the work crew cleaned my area meticulously. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a superior roof!"

"The work they did was impeccable!!! They completed their job early and had an eye for detail. I would recommend them to anyone who needs home improvements done."

"As Tim and his crew left the house after the kitchen update was complete, Tim said, "This is the way it's supposed to be".  Truer words were never spoken.  My experience over the years with a variety of contractors, "handy people" and self proclaimed experts have been pretty awful.  They make for good stories but not a satisfied homeowner.
Tim came for the original estimate on time and full of excellent ideas.  His suggestions made my vision of what I wanted come to life.  He built a beautiful cabinet beside my stove.  The upper part is open with beadboard backing and the lower part has 3 big drawers.  It's perfect and has made my kitchen so much easier to work in.  He installed a beadboard wall and beautiful red counter tops.  He also crowned all the existing cabinets to match the one he had built (his idea).  Perfect.  He also suggested putting in a new receptacle on the beadboard wall.  Who could say "no" to that???  He fixed an existing cabinet that had never been installed correctly (see "handy people and self procalaimed experts above).
It was the little things that also made a big difference to me: installing a pot rack correctly and securely, hanging a shelf right where I wanted it and making certain the drawers closed correctly.  The list could go on.
Tim and his crew came when they said they were coming, did what they set out to do, presented themselves in a very professional manner and cleaned up everything before they left.  I was at home for a good deal of the work and the team consistently consulted with me about little details (where to put the shelves so my dishes fit perfectly, would I like ALL white receptacles installed throughout the kitchen...etc).  As Tim said, "This is the way it's SUPPOSED to be".
Pictures of my beautiful updated kitchen are on Tim's website.  Take a look and see for yourself.
