"Tommy and his team did a great job on our chimney! Once it finally stopped raining Tommy and his crew got to work and finished in a reasonable amount of time. Anytime I texted Tommy he would respond answering any questions I had. His work was top notch, rebuilt the crown (which looks bomb proof) and cut out the brick mortar out down to the roof line. Tuck pointed and painted my chimney. Not single drop of water has come in since he finished his work. They cleaned up all materials afterwards too! Really pleased that we hired Tommy Mattingly Masonry, I will be using him again in the future for any of my masonry needs."

"I was really pleased with the quality of the work, as well as the overall professional approach to every detail of the job, from start to finish. Wendell gave me a detailed estimate within 24 hours, spoke to my insurance adjuster on our behalf with details of the needed repairs and began work almost immediately. In less than three days they removed three layers of shingles, two old chimneys and installed a beautiful premium rib metal roof. Clean up was good and they gave me a lifetime non prorated workmanship warranty. I highly recommend Metal Worx."

"The company did a complete roof tear off and put on a new dimensional
roof. They added gutters and matched what was already there. They
repaired the crumbling bricks on my chimney basically rebuilding the
chimney . During the process a roof joist snapped and the owner came out
on a Friday evening to fix the problem. They also came back to replace
part of the roof that got stained by cement during the chimney repair. I
found them extremely responsive and fixed everything to my
satisfaction. There were no hidden costs and the roof looks great.
