"(Removed member name), As per our conversation on Friday, it's more than a stucco repair. The slight delay in getting info to you was due to the scope of this project. We do not issues estimates on site, we discuss the issues internally and come up with a strategy. In sorry your experience with is was less than stellar, as we strive for 100% satisfaction, which is why we cannot bid your project without other trades involved. We have a policy not to perform band aid repairs and only give real long term solutions. My apologies for not making that clearer during our conversation. Should you have any Questions, feel free to contact me direct by phone or through email from the address I sent you the pictures from. Thank you for your input and good luck with your project Bill Ryan"

I initially called Ryan and Son back around Sept/Oct 2014 for a cleaning and inspection if my chimney. Jason came with a fellow coworker and were extremely professional. They cleaned the chimney and wood burning insert thoroughly and professionally. Jason went above and beyond to clean years of grime and rust off the insert left behind by the past homeowners.His coworker was also very professional and friendly putting on shoe booties every time he came in from the truck. Working in the service business and in people's homes, I know how this looks to customers but also know how annoying it can be. Twice I told him to not worry about it because the carpet was going to be replaced and he insisted on taking them off and putting them on each exit and entrance to my house. I had Jason inspect my chimney flashing and crown due to intermittent water leaks also never repaired by the last homeowner. Professionally, he looked it over, took pictures and advised I'd hear from them soon with an estimate.   I got slightly impatient with the estimate length of time but mostly due to my own fault. I waited until the last minute before the winter and wanted a quick repair which was unrealistic. Upon my estimate I was surprised it was so high to be honest being I got a few other estimates that were cheaper. Friends that have used them told me that they sometimes are not the cheapest but you get what you pay for. Which we did.
April of this year I had three awesome guys come to the house (Dan, Cooper and Chris) the day they showed up it was raining but Dan had said they were going to wait a little for it to stop. Which it did. Once the rain stopped, they got right to work. Everything about them was professional. They started by putting down a drop cloth on the roof itself next to the chimney just to catch debris. Right before they went to lunch, Dan started to work on the crown to see how bad it was. I expressed my concern about the cap as well. After a few minutes of checking it all over, he said yea this is pretty bad and your going to get a new cap too. I was instantly happy because I knew it needed it. All three came back and continued their professionalism and finalized 95% of the job. i was told them had to come back in a couple days after everything set to do the chimney save water proofing. All three of these guys were great. My wife and I recently had a baby and they were in awe of her. Talking with us like we were family and just being genuine guys. 
 Dan called me back a few days later saying they were in the area and wanted to get the chimney saver water proofing done if possible which was fine for us. they wrapped my bushes next to the chimney with a tarp not to get it on them. WOW these guys are good. We received my final statement just the other day and to my surprise they was no extra charge for the cap they replaced! All i can say is thank you. With the new baby, this would have been an extra expense I simply don't have right now. 
I also wanted to add that they had replaced a piece of shingle on the roof as well that I had accidentally ripped shoveling the roof this year. They also put a piece of gutter that blew off a few weeks ago back on my downspout. I knew it came off but forgot about it with the baby and all. Was I surprised they did these two extra things not part of my job and did not charge for the cap, YES! 
In end, they might not be the cheapest but I WILL hire this company again for future maintenance and repairs Truly an asset to Angies List.

Scheduling was quick and easy. Provider showed up on time and spent time reviewing the video inspection results and answered some of my other questions. He was very polite and seemed honest with his recommendations. Also received a thorough written report. Price wasn't the cheapest but I'd use them again.

The owner came to give me an estimate earlier this year and walked me through everything - quickly and thoroughly. Once the snow and ice melted Jen said they'd schedule an appointment. Thankfully she called yesterday and fit me in today.

Daniel, Chris, and Cooper (sorry if I got the names wrong!) came to my house earlier than the appointment (no complaints here!). To me they did an excellent job and answered any questions I had. 

One of the questions was "would I use them in the future" - perhaps in a future home! But I don't think I'll need them again in this home thanks to their thorough work. A+

Response from Ryan & Son Chimneys
"Hello Mr. (removed member name), I am sorry you felt the need to provide a negative review of my company. We do provide educated chimney technicians, which sometimes leads to findings that other contractors miss. Educated chimney professionals, in general, are going to recognize conditions more than others. I want to clarify a few things on this review. First, we have performed no service on the property listed above. We did visit the property , but were unable to service due to a rusted shut damper. This visit was on 1/24/14. At the time of the visit, my technician was explicitly told by his contact on site that no repairs would be performed as you just needed to get the home ready for sale. During the course of the visit, my technician noted the chimney had separated from the home, indicating the possibility of settling. You then opted not to reschedule the sweep/inspection with us. If you are in need of the original paperwork, I can easily email it over to you for clarification. It was emailed to you on 1/24/14 originally. If you would like to discuss, please do contact me directly. Bill Ryan"

They did an excellent job and it turned out that they did not need as much material as they estimated so they gave us a bill credit. They were punctual, professional, and very clean as well. Highly recommended

All of my dealings with the company were very positive, from the first phone to confimations and actually performing the service.  The staff is professional and knowledgeable.  My fireplace hasn't been services in over 10 years and it looks like new.

This was an awesome company to deal with.  The employees were very knowledgeable and helpful and very neat and clean with all indoor work.  Most importantly to me, after performing the inspection, they recommended some work (which we knew would be needed), but they were not pushy about signing contracts and having us commit to large monetary expenditures right away (unlike other companies we have dealt with in the past).  All in all, this was a very pleasant company to work with.
