"Ron did a great job on my fireplace. He removed all my old brick facade work and replaced it with a floor to ceiling stone fireplace. He installed a new mantel as well as building it to suit my specific needs (I wanted a tv over the mantel). He went above and beyond by installing the mounting bracket for the tv and placing conduits behind the stonework for my tv cables. The only negative is that I had to wait several months before he could get to the work, but well with the wait!"
