It took many weeks to arrange appointment. I was surprised that he'd be that busy in the summer. It didn't really matter since I just wanted it ready for the upcoming winter.
Overall, completely satisfied.
However, my calls to schedule the second part of the work have gone unanswered. I have left multiple messages and none have been returned. John does good work, but I have very little tolerance for contractors who cannot return a phone call after repeated contact attempts. It is especially aggravating since he already should have had the parts made by the spring and should be expecting payment.
If you can get a phone call returned and an actual service date, they may be worth a call. I will find another provider.
I used Soot Seekers 18 years ago to rehab the fireplaces and install the gas logs. I was very happy with John's work then too. Wonderful to see consistent good business practice.
my house . He did a GREAT job ! I will use him in the future .
I wasn't present during any of this. Once he finished, he called and gave me an estimate over the phone and also told me what he found. After weeks passed, I still had not received a bill. I figured they were still pretty swamped so I waited.
Finally, they called me back apologized for the delay and sent a bill along with a seperate detailed letter for my insurance company. Man, how great is that!
What really impressed me is how they resolved the issue the same day, because it was minor I'm sure, but never hounded me for payment. I'm the one that kept calling me. This showed me they have integrity and honor in doing their job and helping the home owner maintain their home. I've been elated with joy ever since. I wish they did other services so I could call them for everything.
I just can't thank them enough or say enough about them.
Coordination with Rand R Masonry was excellent. When the chimney rebuild was complete, John proceeded to install the stainless steel liners in the chimney flues, then installed the Ahren Fireplace system. The nice looking chimney cap was installed with the damper connected. The scaffolding came down when John was done.
John was very careful to protect our floors and furnishings. He cleaned up every day before he left. He spent time after the job was complete explaining how we should build small fires at first to allow the fireplace lining to cure.
The fireplace is attractive, functional, and we know that it is safe. John answered all of our questions. A great experience, very smooth.
