Fit me into their schedule and arrived promptly. Does not work on chimneys made from wood framing and siding; so, they gave me contact information for another company that does this type of work. Honesty and referral greatly appreciated.

He did not present a bid. Seemed knowlegable with information of codes and options for work he could accomplish. He and co-worker spent a busy 30-45 minutes checking our 2 chimneys. He said he would have a bid ready in 1-2 days. We are still waiting - have not heard from him since.

They showed up quickly to give me an estimate. They were in time for the estimate and to complete the work. The recommended fixing what needed done at a reasonable cost. No extra costly repairs like some of the other bids. They cleaned up everything very well when finished. Overall, extremely professional and did great work for a reasonable price. I would recommend them to anyone.

I asked Buster to take a look at our flue for our water heater to determine if the flue needed a liner in the chimney. Buster was quickly able to determine that we already had a liner. He was honest, punctual and fast. I really appreciated his help. I will hire him if we need any chimney work in the future.

I had to wait a bit longer than I was hoping to get them scheduled, but they arrived on time on the day. They worked well and communicated clearly and often as they got the job done. As Buster originally proposed in his estimate, they dropped the removed bricks down the abandoned chimney flues. This initially made me a bit nervous, but it worked well and was more efficient and safer than dropping or carrying the brick down the side of the house. I was pleased with the final result and they even covered the resulting hole in the roof with a tarp to keep it dry until roofers could patch where the chimney had been. Bottom line: They did a good, quality job for a very reasonable price!
Description of Work
I hired Buster to remove the exterior portion of an abandoned chimney at the top of a tall, 100-year-old, 3-story house with a steep roof. He let me know early that he did not do the exterior work like that himself, but had other guys that worked with him to get it done. He gave me a very reasonable estimate and explained the basic details of how they would accomplish it.

Buster immediately responded to my initial inquiry for chimney repairs and provided a free estimate to replace deteriorate chimney bricks. He was prompt to arrive on the scheduled day, did an excellent job of removing the bad brick and matching the new brick so you could not tell that the old bricks had been replaced and did a wonderful job of clean up when the work was completed. I am a retired commercial real estate property manager having worked with numerous commercial exterior restoration contractors in the past. In reviewing his work I'd recommend Buster to anyone who needs chimney repairs .

Buster bid on repair of spalling bricks and cracks in the crown of our chimney. We will definitely hire Buster again. He replaced only the very worst bricks, which we appreciated very much. That allows us budget for the replacement of the next worst bricks.

This was a tough job with unfamiliar parts, but Buster and his son John performed the work excellently. They inspected old or unused chimney flues for use with Polypro flexible polyethylene pipe and aluminum pipe. Advised me on what parts to order and/or to inquire further about to the manufacturer. Met with HVAC company to discuss venting needs and to coordinate timing. Installed vents with persistence, ingenuity and some tearing into flue from inside house, with ultimate success. Installed new chimney caps and raised fireplace flue opening. Very pleasant to work with. They bring lots of experience to the job.

Installed four flexible Polypro vent pipes in two chimney flues for new HVAC systems. Helped owner select proper vent parts needed to buy.
