"We needed a substantial remodel on our SML house. Bob Riddick Home Services (BRHS) has done work on our roof since before we purchased that house; including some minor repairs and a softwash to enable a few more years on the roof before we bite the bullet and go for a new roof. When we decided to begin the remodel, we simply choose BRHS. We didn't bother with multiple quotes because BRHS's reputation was solid gold. It still is. Our Project Manager, Tripp Parker was not only knowledgeable, professional, and punctual, but he has great patience when working with a sometimes difficult customer (me). He was invaluable! I was given a lot of leeway concerning products and materials that I wanted to use and as such, often made decisions that involved plan changes. For example, I moved a wall and wanted a Barn Door that was more than 120-inches. I couldn't find anything that I liked, so Tripp had one "built" for me. I love it! Tripp's Number One, Shawn Jolliff was experienced, professional, creative, and unflappable! Doors, floors, and windows sometimes don't play well together, but Shawn would finesse them and make them work together. Phase 2 is going to begin this year and we will certainly use Bob Riddick Home Services again."

"Reputable contractor who did quality work.    Joe Condo, owner, was onsite leading the work everyday.    <br /> I found Pyramid via internet search looking for chimney repair contractors in the area.  After a few days of phone tag, Joe came out for a site visit to inspect the chimneys and give a quote for repairs.   We have a 100 yr old Victorian house with two original construction chimneys.   The mortar on both chimneys above the roof was crumbling, with one chimney held together by chicken-wire installed by the previous house owner.   Work scope involved rebuilding both chimneys from just below the roof line up.  Joe appeared very knowledgeable and experienced during his inspection.   The quote was received within a week of Joe's initial visit.    Due to other scheduled work, it was 6 weeks (late Oct) until Pyramid could come out to begin the work. <br /> Total construction took 2 weeks, from scaffold erection to final dismantle.    Joe and Dennis (helper) were very courteous and careful about trying to protect the property and roof from damage due to the construction.     First day was to erect the scaffold and lay pads and boards across the roofline around the chimneys.  2nd day was dismantle of 1st chimney, lowering old bricks and mortar to the ground via buckets and with tarps spread across the attic to catch debris.   3rd day was dismantle of the 2nd chimney to just below the roofline. <br /> Note:   With chimney's below the roofline, our furnace (which vents thru one chimney) had to be turned off until the chimney could be rebuilt above the roofline.   Outdoor temps during construction time (late Oct/early Nov) dipped to 30 degrees, with indoor temps in the 50's without heaters.   Joe offered to provide indoor heaters if needed - - - but the topic of living without heat was not discussed during the original job scoping.     Something to consider when scheduling work in cold months.   We ended up living more than a week without regular heat in the house.    Might consider scheduling work during warmer months. <br /> Day 5 was taken up with delivering the new bricks to the site.  Day 6 and 7 involved rebuilding chimney one, Day 8 and 9 for rebuilding chimney two.    A couple days were then lost waiting on the roofer to come install flashing around the new chimneys, as well as for fabrication of new chimney caps.    The next work day involved installing the chimney caps, installing flashing around both chimneys, and beginning clean-up.   The last day was spent tearing down the scaffolding and cleaning up.    They left the property in the same condition they found it, good final cleanup. <br /> Overall, Pyramid did a good job.   New chimneys look good, much better than the old with crumbling mortar and bricks.    Joe did a good job of communicating work status and his plans for the next few days.    Their work quality looks good, but only time will tell as to whether the flashing holds up to a heavy rain.    I chose to let Joe provide the roofer as a subcontractor rather than my trying to coordinate a local independent roof contractor to work with Pyramid - - - some delays, but worked OK. <br /> Total cost seemed a little pricey, but hard to compare since there are not many chimney contractors in the local area.    Pyramid is located about 60 miles from our house, so there was a significant commute for Joe and co everyday.   But onsite work hours were consistently 8:30 am until 4:30 pm. <br /> In summary - - - Good, knowledgeable experienced contractor that I would recommend for quality chimney repair. <br />"

"In keeping with his excellent reputation, business owner Doug Gentry did what he said he would and did a great job of it.  I live cross country from my late father's Virginia farm on which the barn needing demolition was located.  I was seeking a contractor who was licensed, bonded and insured and found such a person in Doug through Angie's List.  Doug was great to work with as I collected bids, and then as we developed a contract.  He provided a certificate of insurance at my request.  He charged a reasonable price and stuck with that price.  Doug started work on schedule in during the winter of 2013 when unusually high amounts of snow and rain made work challenging.  He kept me informed of his progress and finished within the time frame established.  Doug went the extra mile by providing me a county building department inspections document showing that the barn had been demolished so I could get the county tax department to reduce the property taxes.  Most importantly, Doug took the barn down safely, hauled everything away and left the site clean.  My onsite representatives who reported to me on how the work was coming praised Doug for his thoroughness in cleaning the site.  Doug is a real professional and a pleasure to do business with.  I definitely will call on him again for work on this property. <br />"

"When I called to schedule an inspection, the original date was about a week out. When they became aware that we had a current leak, they adjusted schedules to arrive the next day. The inspection and recommendations were very thorough and professional. Although we decided to not proceed with All Phase Roofing for this project, we would highly recommend them if you are in need of any roof work."

"I cannot praise Quinn's workers highly enough. There were four workers, including the foreman Tony Haasz, and all of them were extremely professional but also very pleasant. They protected our hardwood floors and did their best to minimize dust, <br /> and every day before they left they swept and straightened their work areas. We have an older house (built @1920) so there were a number of surprises, particularly with the ancient plumbing and wiring, but nothing fazed these guys. They clearly knew what they were doing, and everything they touched looked like a million bucks after they were finished. The completed bathroom is absolutely gorgeous - it looks like something from a magazine. I would recommend Quinn's without hesitation to anyone. <br /> <br /> <br />"
