My chimney crown was deteriated and needed to be replaced. I called a few companies and either they had high minimums or could not give an estimate for 4 weeks. I contacted Easy Home Improvement via their website and Gasper was out in two days to give me an estimate. He was professional and did not try to upsell me for anything. Gave me a written estimate/contract electronically which I signed that day. The team came out and did the job. They were very professional and took great care to not damage my property (e.g., tarps, hose off roof, not clean mortar bucket in lawn, etc) and cleaned up after. I was given an electronic paid receipt and pictures of the finished job as I have a two story house. Not sure how long the crown will last but I would reccomend this company to my friends.

Grasper came to look at 2 chimneys. After looking at the chimneys he kept saying “are you going to hire me.” He said that about 3 times. He was only there to give me an estimate. I was expecting a business card & he never gave me one. He then left my house & emailed me an estimate from his truck. I thought he was very unprofessional. I would never hire him.

Ms*** we are sorry you feel that way. However we feel it is important to explain the context of your conversation with Gasper. You asked when we could start the work which he answered by telling you he couldn't give you an answer without first knowing if you were going to hire our company because company policy is we service our customers on a first come first serve basis. Our answer didn't seem to be satisfactory so you asked the same question 2 more times which Gasper asked if you were going to hire us & he could narrow down a time frame for you. You could have asked the same question 10 more times & the answer would have been the same. We treat our customers equally & serve everyone first come first serve. Maybe you will find a company that is willing to inconvenience their other customers for you. We personally don't feel that's fair to others nor a good way to do business. Good luck to you.Amanda M.

They did an amazing job with the brick repair at my home. Honest about the work that needed to be done and didn't try to upsell any services to me. Very straight-forward. They showed up when they said they would and cleaned the area afterward.

The job went extremely well. From the initial return phone call to the representative giving us a free home quote through the complete job, we were extremely happy with the results. No more worries about chipped bricks or a hole in our garage chimney cap as an entrance to wildlife. Also the cosmetic improvement which improves the curb appeal of our property. They exceeded expectations, arrived on time and finished both jobs in one day. I was very happy to write the final check.

Gasper was friendly and promptly returned my phone calls. He walked me through what they would be doing, showed me pictures for reference, and also gave me their builders license number up front. The employees that came out were also nice and cleaned up when they were done. They did a great job rebuilding my chimney - it looks beautiful and I am very pleased with the end result!

Thank you for taking the time to rate our company Ms***. Your feedback is important to us. You invited us to your home to only perform a masonry inspection which consists of doing a thorough inspection of the masonry on your home and reporting any defects back to you which is what we did. We understand you may have not been pleased with some of our findings but we are obligated to report these defects to you even though they are not pleasant news. It is similar it going to the doctors for a check up and the doctor gives you some bad news. The doctor may not be your favorite person at that moment but it's his job to report his findings to you regardless of whether the news is pleasant or not. On the bright side the brick defects we found on your home can be corrected with long term solutions whenever you are ready to do so. We wish you well and know that everything will be ok.Jonathan H.

The staff were friendly and on time. Very professional from start to finish and the price was very fair. The workers worked very hard to match the color of my existing mortar and did an amazing job of it. My chimney looks great and i couldn't be more pleased with the work from these guys. I would recommend their services to any of my friends or family and be confident the they will be treated professionally.

I had Easy Home Improvement do some brick repairs for me last year & they did a great job. So when my elderly mother needed some repairs I called them back and had them repair her chimney and they also did some tuckpointing on her front porch. They did a great job, cleaned up well & were polite and professional. They were very patient with my mother who had a lot of questions while they were working and I wanted to thank them for that as well. Will definitely hire again if the need arises.

I spoke to Noah about an estimate to rebuild a brick pillar that was struck by a vehicle. I explained that my insurance company will cover the cost, but that they will not have to deal with the insurance company. Noah was very clear in stating that they will absolutely not work with insurance companies. I, again, assured him that I was the client and that the funds would come from me. Noah had someone come over and provide an estimate. I then sent my insurance company the estimate and they had 1 question before they would send me the check - that question was "Given the estimate, can you tell me how much is labor and how much is materials?". The insurance company tried to call them many times, however, they wouldn't return the calls. Not unexpected given that Noah was so against involving the insurance company. When I called to ask if they could simply break the estimate down to materials and labor, his response was "We will not work with insurance companies, I told you that from the start, I won't take the job....*CLICK*" and with that, he hung up on me. All i needed to know was the breakdown, they never would've dealt with the insurance company. I'd keep this in mind when contracting with them. As a reminder, I simply asked for a breakdown and assured him that I would be handling the transaction, and that insurance wouldn't be involved. Thank you for hanging up on me, Noah. The fact that you are so vehemently against working with insurance companies (even though you weren't asked to) and that it warranted hanging up on me is a strong indicator of your company's commitment to quality work.

Service Provider Response
Mr*** if you had taken the time to read thru our Angie's List profile it clearly states that we do not do insurance work. You called us anyway. When you initially called to schedule an estimate you said ONE of your pillars was damaged by someone and you were going to present the estimate to your insurance company. When our rep came out you had him give you a quote for BOTH pillars. Our rep wasn't aware of the previous phone call that you stated one pillar was damaged by someone so he went ahead and unknowingly gave you a quote for both at your request. That raises a red flag for us and leads us to believe you may be trying to commit insurance fraud by possibly attempting to have both pillars redone when in fact only one of them was struck by a vehicle. So yes, you are correct. We DO NOT want the job & will not take it. It is for exactly situations like this where we are unsure as to the honesty of the homeowner with the insurance companies that we do not do insurance work. We have zero desire to unknowingly become someones accomplice in a possible fraud, hence the reason our company does not do insurance work. There are some companies that will only do insurance work because they can overcharge and make unnecessary repairs because the homeowners aren't paying out of pocket. We are not that kind of company and will not be involved in anything that may be illegal and/or unethical (if that is the case). Nevertheless we will not take those kinds of risks with our livelihood. There are other contractors that will take those kinds of risks with you & gladly accommodate you but it will not be us. Have a good day sir.Alma M.

A day after the work was done I went up to look at the job.point number one.the mortar work was not uniform,not all mortar was flush with the brick face,probably not a problem but a few have deeper depressions, so as long as the mortar holds tuck pointing may not be required down the road.point two.the crown has a sloppy or rushed look to it's formation, but that can only be seen while on the roof.

We feel this an attempt by Mr*** to tarnish our good name because we do not give cash discounts. When making payment Mr*** insisted that he should receive a discount because he was paying cash. 1)We are a legitimate company who pays our taxes & 2) We do not renegotiate the terms of agreement after work has started or has been completed. Further we have posted Mr***'s chimney as our Angie's List profile picture and labeled it "Shelby Twp. July 2017" for all to see. We have nothing to hide and have made this picture of Mr***'s chimney public to allow anyone to judge for themselves if what Mr*** is saying is true. Mr*** is welcome to have the Shelby Twp inspector come out to his home and assess our work and if our work on his chimney is unacceptable to the inspector for ANY reason we are willing to provide a full refund. We are confident we will pass any inspection with flying colors. If we look at our other reviews we have very happy customers one after another. We assure you we have not suddenly decided to perform poor work. Finally Mr*** you should be ashamed of yourself for trying to hurt good hard working people because you didn't get your way. Shame on you. UPDATE: After our company offered a full refund to Mr*** in the event our workmanship failed an inspection for ANY reason, as of March 1st, 2018 (7 months later) our company has still not heard from Mr*** nor the Shelby Twp inspector about the chimney mentioned in this review failing any type of inspection for ANY reason. We were confident that would be the case since our company has never failed any type of city inspection.Other local Pros in your area
