Highly recommend Bruce Ryan Masonry. Very responsive, flexible, and excellent attention to detail. They took the time to explain what needed to be done and why, unlike other masonry companies we received quotes from. Stuck to our timeline, very pleased with the quality of the work.

He showed up and did an excellent job at replacing lentils and repairing other brick.

I needed to have chimney caps put on 2 flues, but was told by another vendor that the flues might be too cracked to do so without being repaired or cut down. I called several companies and did not get a reply from 2. The third company, All Seasons Chimney, referred me to Bruce because they felt he was best suited for the particular work. Bruce answered when I called and set up to come look at the situation 2 days later. He and his son, Chad, come that day, assessed the situation and installed the 2 caps the same day. Bruce and Chad were very knowledgable and personable. I would use them again for sure! Actually I am awaiting an estimate for some additional work that I inquired about before they left.

Bruce and crew did a fantastic job of replacing my failing chimney cap. They were timely, professional and highly responsive. They went out of their way to make sure that the job was perfect down to the smallest detail. I can't imagine working with a better company or getting a better job. Go with Bruce, you won't regret it!!

The chimney looks great, they matched the bricks well, replaced many corroded bricks and replaced flu top, added a limestone cap and came back to seal.

Bruce Ryan and his crew did an outstanding job building me a new chimney, including a custom cut, limestone cap that will last well beyond the usual concrete cap. They also added a stainless steel rain cap. The work included grinding out and re-grouting of failed mortar joints along with a few brick replacements. The extras they performed above the contract specs were the icing on the cake. I’m thrilled with the results. Thanks, Bruce!

Was asked if we were selling or buying...noted that we were selling our house and doing some preliminary work. Bruce told me that he doesn't "deal with sellers" and to please relay that information to my realtor.  Was looking forward to working with him...it seems like he does quality work.  I'm afraid to call back.

Outstanding job and a REAL PRO!!!!!!!!!!!

Could not be more pleased and would highly recommend Bruce Ryan Masonry for any chimney repairs.

Very professional from the initial contact for an estimate all the way through completion of the work. Aside from looking up and seeing the new chimney cap you would never know his crew of 5 were even in the yard. When he called the night before he said they would be on the job between 7am and 7:30am, and by golly  they arrived a little before 7am which was a pleasant surprise.

From estimate to completion, I was very happy with Bruce Ryan.
Starting with the estimate, Bruce arranged to come to the house on a Saturday morning to look at the house and see what work needed to be done.  He said 8am and he was precisely on time.  He walked around the house and pointed out what repairs were needed and explained why.  He was very knowledgeable and professional.  He left and said he'd mail me a proposal/contract, which came promptly.  After signing the proposal/contract, Bruce scheduled a time to do a color match on the mortar.  We agreed upon a color and he let me know he will have to order the color.  When the mortar came in, he scheduled our job.  The day before the job date, Bruce called to let me know the forecast was for rain on job day and he would keep me posted, as he didn't want me to pay for guys to sit around waiting for rain to stop.  He called promptly the next morning to confirm we would have to postpone a day.  He started promptly the next day and had five guys working on the job (as was indicated on the proposal).  I must say I was very impressed with the sturdy scaffolding that was set up on all 4 sides of the house, all at one time. The work was completed mostly in one day, a Friday.  He came back on Monday to finish up and the area was picked up and clean.  The mortar match is awesome!  His team had to remove (cut out) a very large section of brick (4' x 8') and had to re-lay it (the same bricks), it looks perfect!  Upon completion of the job on Monday, Bruce called me to let me know the job was completed and also informed me that he noticed the water spout was not behaving correctly and he was afraid their might be a problem inside the house.  We scheduled to meet that evening and Bruce walked with us around the house to review the work and we "settled" the bill at that time.  Bill was "T & M basis at $225.00 per hour for labor, plus materials... this included 4 men on the job plus all equipment necessary."  I was very impressed with Bruce Ryan's workmanship, professionalism, punctuality, and follow through.

The quality of their work was fine as far as I know. They were great. They were excellent. The price was comparable with the other two bids we got. They were very responsive. They called before they came and they came when they said they were coming. They were good.

 Bruce was very professional during the entire process.  He responded quickly to my request and set a date to estimate the work.  He arrived on time, surveyed the work and gave me a satisfactory quote and time to install.

They arrived on-time for the install and quickly set-up to start the work.  They removed the old mortar and metal cage on top of the 108 year old chimney then installed a thick limestone cap to completely seal off the chimney.  Bruce made sure I was happy with the installation and all the debris was cleaned up prior to leaving.  Great job in the cold weather!

We found them on Angie’s List. The quote was around $200. He was on time and gave us a good quote. We just didn’t end up doing the work so we didn’t use them. We didn’t compare them on price.

Unfortunately, it's been two weeks, and no one from the company has returned my call which is very disappointing.
