"Very satisfied with quality and efficiency. Besides cleaning the chimney they repaired the damaged inside hearth wall and outside deck at the top of the chimney. I gave them a 4.0 rating for value because this is the first time I have to make such repairs, but it seemed reasonable. They clearly explained what needs to be done and why."

"The gutter cleaning went fine. They did not tell me when they are coming, but he did show up and do the job. I couldn't stay for the whole thing because I was not expecting them, but they did show me photos of the finished job. They weren't super clean, but they were no longer plugged. They then gave me whole list of other things I should do."

"I engaged Brian initially just to replace loose tile in the main part of our master bathroom. We knew there was probably a little subfloor damage that would result in a little more cost. But, as things turned out there was significant damage that meant replacing some structural elements and replacing the adjacent walk-in shower. This really went from a little repair work to a fairly major unplanned remodel job. Brian helped me find other trade people to do structural and plumbing work, shower door installation, and drywall work. And, his work tile work was excellent. A true professional in every way."

"Manuel did a great job. He's a very nice guy and a very hard worker. He's just a one-man operation, but he was able to do a job that another company wanted to charge me two men for. I would definitely consider hiring him again for any odd jobs I might have around the house that I'm just not handy enough for. (And believe me, there's a lot of those.)"

"Greg was a pleasure to work with. Our back splash went all the way up to the ceiling and around bay windows. It was a big job. He also helped me come up with a solution to frame my kitchen windows since the sill had already been cut from the slab and installed by a previous contractor. My cousin who is a retired contractor came over and said Greg’s work was impeccable. Highly recommend!"

"With a fixed budget and wanting high quality work done, I knew we were going to have to cut the size of our project drastically.  As the different bids came in, I realized how much we were going to have to cut back.  I saw an add in Home Concepts magazine For Mr. Pavers and looked up their website.  Their website was thorough and explained all of the work and the process. I also saw an ad for 30% off.  Realizing that I might be able to do my FULL project, I gave them a call.  The man on the phone answered the few questions I had in detail and was very helpful and said they would be out to give me an estimate on the day I requested at the time I requested.  I started Googling Mr. Pavers, and could only find one review.  After an hour online I couldn't find anything, and I was really worried about using a company I couldn't find anything on.    

Grahame came out to do the estimate.  I was surprised at how much time he spent here explaining the process what was going to go on once they came out.  None of the other companies did.  The other companies did come out and give an estimate but said that we could talk about details later on.  Grahame also brought samples of all the different products so that we could see them in our yard.  He also gave the pros and cons of each different product.  This was SO helpful!  We got a few other estimates and finally decided to go with Mr. Pavers.  I was worried about the work as I couldn't find much on them, but we only had to put $500 down and the rest was due upon completion and 100% satisfaction.  On Wednesday Grahame said that the guys could be out to our house as early as Friday at 9am and that they would be done by Tuesday.  On Friday, the crew showed up at 8:50a and Grahame did a walk through with the site manager and explained all the work that needed to be done.  I was impressed at how fast and neatly the crew worked.  Real amazement came on Monday as the crew started leveling and shaping the excavated area.  They spent hours on their knees with the level making sure everything was PERFECT.  The amazement continued when they started cutting and laying the pavers.  The most beautiful part is the step that they put in!  As one of the men put in the step, I realized what a skill masonry is.  Every paver is perfectly cut, perfectly placed and perfectly laid!    

The work was completed on Tuesday as promised.  On Wednesday, Grahame and the site manager came back to make sure everything was how we wanted it and to make sure we were happy with the job.  No money was asked for until we were 100% happy!  We are so happy with the work they did and the beautiful patio we have!

We still need to do the side yard and walkway.  We will be using Mr. Pavers again and would definitely recommend them to anyone thinking about putting in pavers."

Chimney Repair questions, answered by experts

Minor water damage on wood tables can be reversed fairly easily. You can remove stains and light surface damage with a sandblock, then repaint and re-varnish the wood surface. For swollen and rotten wood, you can cut away the damaged parts and use a wood filler as long as the affected area isn’t too much.

If you don’t want to purchase furniture sliders, there are several household items that can be used as makeshift sliders. Thick towels or blankets placed under furniture legs can reduce friction and make it easier to slide the furniture without causing damage to the floor. Additionally, plastic or paper plates can be placed under each leg for easy sliding. You can also cut up pieces of a cardboard box to slide beneath the legs of the furniture.

Yes, vinegar can break down the adhesive bond, effectively dissolving the glue from wood. It will be much easier to wipe away. Vinegar’s acidity, which helps to make it an effective all-purpose cleaner, can also aid in removing adhesive with less chance of damaging the wood and finish than more aggressive solvents. 

Yes, there are several wood filler products on the market that look like wood. Your best bet is to take a cabinet door to your local hardware store to match the appropriate wood filler to your door. Some brands make filler that is masked to look like wood and can also be sanded, cut, stained, and painted. 

If you’re looking for a reputable furniture repair company, the best-case scenario is getting a referral from a trusted friend or family member. However, you can also ask local furniture repair companies about the following points to determine their experience and quality of work:

  • Warranty for structural repairs

  • Positive online reviews and Better Business Bureau (BBB) ratings

  • Number of years of experience

  • Specific expertise with fixing your type of furniture 

  • Ability to carry out on-site repairs to avoid damage during relocation
