I found Bob's info through angieslist. I called several contractors for my old fireplace and chimney, all of the previous proposals were out of my budget. Bob came and gave a very reasonable price and feasible solution. He re-pointed the 6 rows of the chimney and added a new cap. He has been working in this field for many years, he is experienced, responsible and professional. I was very pleased with the result. Two winters have been passed, the chimney works very well for our family.

I called Bob up, he came to my house to look at the chimney in a few days.  Two days later he came and made the repairs.  The job was done quickly and at a reasonable price.

He responded immediately, in our case he came out the same day, cleaned up after himself and really seemed to know what he was doing as he has been in the business a long time.

He was fine and easy to work with. He did the work quickly and had to come back a few times. He was professional, too.

Bob came and repointed the taller of my two chimneys. He discovered the 2nd chimney was in good shape and only needed a rain cap. He was able to place a standard cap on the taller chimney and he agreed to order one as it was not a standard size. I am waiting on that to be delivered and installed. Bob is retired and so seems only willing to do smaller jobs that suite him. However, I cannot recommend him highly enough.

As background, my family has been in the construction business for 50+ years and I have been around half a dozen masons for the last 30. I could tell that Bob was old school and knew what he was talking about. I have a fireplace in my house that smokes when first started. Mr. Gibson identified a number of issues pretty quickly. He quoted me an approximate price and we agreed that he could start the job in a couple of weeks. He is polite and professional but doesn't stand around-he gets right into the work. He did not make any design decisions for us, so it is important to have a good idea of what you want ahead of time. Maybe he would assist in this if asked, but we knew what we wanted. Basically he demoed the brick facade, raised the firebox 6"(to aid in draft)installed a new flue, and rebuilt the facade using 4-6 inch Pennsylvania fieldstone's. He lowered the lentil and closed the fireplace opening somewhat to improve draft. Last, he installed a new one piece stone hearth. I installed a new natural wood mantle-it came out great.

We had originally planned to repair/replace our old stoop with simple poured concrete, and Bob Gibson was well rated for concrete work, so we asked him to give us an estimate. What he proposed instead was a much nicer solution as you can see in the pictures: repairing the brick base and laying cut blue stone for the top. His proposal definitely caught us off guard, being much more money than we had originally planned to spend, but I think the stunning result is worth it. Mr. Gibson was prompt, professional, courteous, thorough and conscientious. Although I think he isn't the cheapest, I would definitely recommend him if you want quality work.

I thought he was responsive. I don't feel he was inexpensive, I felt he was rather expensive. He was a person of his word. He did what he said he would do and got it done.

Fine, prompt and courteous. I don't know how cost would compare to others but I think it was definitely fair for the amount of work done. Bob is semi-retired and indicated he wouldn't want to take on work involving heights or scaffolding, but he climbed 20' ladder to work on top of the chimney with no problem. He also had used brick to match mine for the hearth repair. Obviously he is very experienced.

Overall we think Bob did a good job. We had other masons give us estimates and he was the cheapest. He told us that since we have a damper, we didn't need a stainless steel cage cap to cover the chimney opening as was recommended by the chimney sweep company for over $500. My only complaint would be that he didn't give us a specific day or time so we were awaken by him pounding on our chimney at 8 am!!

It is wonderful work. He matched the color which we never had anyone do. He was on time.

My experience with Mr. Gibson was pleasant and efficient in every way. He appears to be a very experienced and competent mason. I can't judge the reasonableness of his pricing, as I did not comparison shop; however, I don't believe his work represented a bargain.

Bob was prompt and did the work while we were on vacation. Of course we can't look into the chimney so we hope he did quality work.

Bob was great - I highly recommend him for any chimney repairs. I first learned of Bob through Angie's List. He was pretty easy to get a hold of for scheduling an appointment, was very polite and informative and got the job done much sooner than I expected. Overall, it was a pleasant experience.

BOB SHOWED UP WITHIN A COUPLE OF DAYS FROM MY CALL TO INSPECT THE CHIMNEYS. HE WAS COURTEOUS AND VERY PROFESSIONAL, BUT ALSO YOU COULD TELL HE WAS A STRAIGHT SHOOTER. HE GAVE A ROUGH ESTIMATE OF APPROXIMATELY $700 PER CHIMNEY. HE THEN SAID HE WOULD BE BACK IN A COUPLE OF WEEKS. A COUPLE OF WEEKS WENT BY AND I WAS THINKING OF CALLING BOB WHEN MY WIFE CALLED ME AT WORK ONE DAY AND SAID THAT BOB HAD SHOWN UP. HE BEGAN WORK THAT DAY. BOB DID THE WORK OVER TWO DAYS AND THE RESULT WAS SPECTACULAR. BOTH CHIMNEY TOPS LOOK TO BE IN GREAT SHAPE AND HAVE THE SAME APPEARANCE AS THE REST OF THE CHIMNEY. WHEN I WENT TO PAY HE SAID THE COST WAS $1200 WHICH WAS $200 BELOW THE ORIGINAL ROUGH ESTIMATE. BOB WAS A GREAT PERSON TO WORK WITH. HE IS HONEST, FAIR, THOROUGH AND DOES GREAT WORK. THEY DON'T MAKE MANY LIKE HIM ANYMORE.

BASED ON ANGIE'S LIST COMMENTS, I NEVER PRICED JOB ANYWHERE OTHER THAN WITH BOB. HE WAS EASY TO WORK WITH AND FROM WHAT LITTLE I KNOW ABOUT MASONRY, I BELIEVE THE PRICE WAS VERY REASONABLE.

HE SEEMS LIKE A GOOD GUY WHO KNOWS WHAT HE'S DOING. I WAS JUST HAPPY TO FIND SOMEONE WHO WOULD SHOW UP TO GIVE AN ESTIMATE AND TO DO THE WORK. THE OTHER PEOPLE I CALLED SAID THEY WOULD COME FOR AN ESTIMATE, BUT NEVER DID. SO I DON'T KNOW IF THE PRICE WAS GOOD, BUT IT WAS A SMALL JOB AND I JUST WANTED TO GET IT DONE, SO I DIDN'T WORRY ABOUT IT.

I WAS VERY PLEASED WITH THE WORK HE DID. I ONLY RATED THE PRICE AS ''B'' BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW THE GOING RATE FOR THESE SERVICES.
