"The repointing work was generally done well. Old mortar and bricks were removed and new bricks were installed. The craftsmanship was excellent. However, the color of the mortar used differed from that in the rest of the brickwork, so at present it stands out. Sixpenny said to wait a period and then re-evaluate whether any change should be made. I would rate this as an "A" but for the color difference in the mortar that was not expected. The chimney cap work was done well."
"It went well, they were the ones that told me about the crack chimney but explained that they don't do that kind of work. However had to contact Angie's list back to hire a masonry. "
"Vitaliy came to my house to inspect the chimney and was extremely professional, knowledgeable and patient in explaining what needed to be done to the chimney. I was very pleased with the experience and will recommend this company without hesitation. Any follow up work was done in a timely manner and very professionally. Keep the good work!"
"Nathaniel has excellent communication skills and shows pride in his craft. I bought a home and the chimney was leaking by day 2. I called O-line Chimney and they came to the property within 24hrs to take a look and gave me an estimate within 20 minutes. Nathaniel took photos of the caps and explained how they were improperly installed and one had a dummy cap (prior owners were trying to save money). He let me know that the caps were sitting on rubber vice concrete and the leak was likely due to that in addition to the liners not being elevated to the proper height. He detailed his exact course of action and returned on time at his next available appointment. He was neat, honest and efficient. Couldn’t ask for better service. The price was more than fair and the craftsmanship was excellent."
"The technicians redid the bricks so that you couldn't even tell they were repaired. It looked beautiful. They put in a new liner in the chimney and waterproofed it. They redid the inside of the fireplace to bring it up to code and put in a chain that easily opens and closes the flue. It looks so good and easy that I may decide to use the fireplace again. They redid the pipes in the basement so the fumes from the boiler and hot water heater went up the chimney in the correct way. There had been water damage and they corrected the damage and closed off the hole in the wall (foundation) and made a bigger hole in the correct place so that everything was up to code. They were polite, efficient and worked very hard to get the work done in the promised two days. I have interviewed many companies and found this company to be straight-forward in telling me what they would do and didn't try to tell me they were giving me a "good deal." Rather I feel they gave me an honest estimate on what needed to be done and didn't try to pressure me into using their company. They did give me 10% off because I was an Angie's List customer. What company to use was a hard decision for me because I knew nothing about chimney repair. Because so much of the repair was inside the chimney I couldn't tell what they had done. Based on my experience I feel they did a good job. I don't have a picture of the repaired chimney but it looks great--better than it did before the bricks fell. If someone wants more detail I can copy exactly what they did from the invoice. Also, maybe the company can show a picture of the finished product. Since it is summer time I haven't had any experience using the chimney but will let you know how things work out during the winter."
"The service was fine. The only thing is that they were really late coming. So, it was like dark when they got out of here. They left the area good when they were finished. It took them an hour-and-a-half to complete the job. They sent me a picture of the chimney. The price was great. They did show up."
"Very much considerate to the needs of the clients and provides excellent chimney repair service.And I'm certain that I'll recruit them again for my next project."
"The company showed up on time and conducted the shingle replacement being careful not to damage the gardens around the house. They brought the roof up to current code, (the roof no longer complied with local codes), and worked with our chimney company to install the flashing properly. The cleanup was performed in an acceptable manner and the work was finished on time. Follow-up inspections by the company and I showed I had a good roof that was going to last another long time. I would definitely recommend this company for roof work."
