EXCELLENT, PROFESSIONAL team of masons who performed this chimney repair work in less than a day. ALL preparation, demolition, repair, installation, and clean-up activities performed in a no-nonsense WORKMANLIKE manner. My wife and I are VERY pleased with the results. We certainly would hire...
Sabol Masonry Inc.The project went well and the repairs look great. As always, Chris made me aware of other issues such as the rotten wood so he could make repairs accordingly. Cleaned work site thoroughly upon completion.
SWEET SUCCESS CONTRACTORSJim Damratoski, owner of Iron Dog Plumbing, was referred to us by the realtor that sold us our house as a company that was responsive, did quality work and charged a reasonable rate.

Reliant gas lines is a natural gas service line repair or replacement company. I handle the buried portion of the service line from curb stop to meter and the buried house line if the meter is far away from the house. I do a good job at a fair price, am qualified for both Peoples Gas and Columbia Gas and fully insured. As a small owner operator business I can be flexible on scheduling as these types of problems tend to be emergencies. While in business for myself just a short time now I have over 15 years of experience in the natural gas industry involving repair and replacement of gas mains and service lines.
"Great job quick."

"Highly recommended, timely and very professional. Carl was very knowledgeable and easy to work with. He was able to answer all of our questions and walk us through different options, while being mindful of our budget. Just to highlight what all he did to repair our chimney. A safe working platform was erected. The old cap was removed and the brick was demoed to the flashing. All the brick was cleaned and relayed in tinted mortar to match existing masonry. A new crown was installed with custom stainless steal cage. The chimney was washed cleaned and sealed all debris were cleaned up and scaffolding was removed. We were so happy with the results. We would absolute hire him again."

At Sullivan Super Service, you’ll take pride in knowing you’re hiring a family-owned company that employs four generations of Sullivans and has been working in the Pittsburgh area since 1964. Bill and Anna Sullivan started their business out of their home with just one truck. As their family grew, so did their business and they opened a shop in Braddock and hired more technicians. Through the years the company grew but remained committed to offering the special touch of a family operated business.
"Overall the multiple projects went well. More costly than expected but we did receive some discounts which helped. The only one item I would mention is that we bought an incorrect faucet/drain combination. The tech replaced the drain components but since the faucet we had was designed to have a pull lever for the drain, and the one he used was a push down stopper, the hole where the pull up leveler would have gone stayed opened. It does not look good so we now need to live with it."

He sqeezed our job in on a Saturday during a very busy week for him and his crew was kind and worked hard not to damage more of our front yard than was absolutely necessary.. Job was done quickly and when Peoples Gas came out to do the final pressure test on the repairs they were very happy with the quality of the work done.."
