Very well, showed photos before and after

We bought a house that had a chimney on the roof, which was covered with roofing materials. Everything below the roof had been removed. It really wasn't an ideal situation, and our inspector somehow missed it. In any case, the chimney started collapsing, after we moved in, possibly due to some construction going on in the house next door, and our roof started to leak as a result. After initially trying to work with the roofer who did the roof installation, we decided we needed a more specialized contractor. I called Lotierzo, who had been recommended to me many years ago for a similar job, which I didn't end up hiring them for over budget constraints (they aren't cheap, but you get good work for the money). I called early on a Friday morning, and the voicemail box was full, but I received a call back within a half hour and explained my situation. They said they would come out to take a look within an hour or so, and arrived a few minutes earlier than they had said they would. They quickly looked at the chimney and gave me an estimate within a few minutes. They were also able to schedule the work for first thing the following Monday morning (in the meantime, I had put a tarp over the chimney myself to keep more water from leaking into the house). They arrived promptly on Monday, and completed the work on Wednesday (they were unable to work Tuesday due to rain). Since I wasn't able to be at home when they did the work, they told me they would take photos of the work in progress, and send them to me. They did take the photos, but I had to call them a couple days after the work was done for them to actually be sent. Overall, I'd say their responsiveness was still above average for a construction contractor, though. The work consisted of removing most of the chimney, stabilizing the chimney on the house next door, adding flashing to stop any leaking from the chimney next door, then they covered our side with concrete, tar, then roofing material. They also coated the resulting surface to match a coating that was on the rest of our roof.

I was originally scheduled for a chimney inspection on Friday.  However, on Tuesday I had someone out to replace my water heater.  The plumber noticed that the chimney was not venting. It was releasing carbon monoxide.  So the plumber shut off my heater and the water heater.  I called Lotierzo and explained my circumstances.  They had someone come to my house that afternoon.  They were very professional, explained the situation, and discussed my alternatives.  I needed a new liner but he was able to clear the blocked chimney until they could install the liner.  I would recommend them to anyone.
