Ron is friendly, courteous, professional, prompt and thorough. He returned my phone call within an hour, estimated the next day and performed the work within a week. He arrived on schedule and finished in an hour and a half. The quality of hie work is excellent. I highly recommend Ron to anyone needing masonry or restoration work. You won't be disappointed.

Fisher Masonry came out and gave us a very reasonable estimate to repair a storm damaged chimney. We accepted the bid and were put on the books for approximately two week later. On the day of repair the crew showed up on time and finished the work in a few hours. Prompt, professional, and quality service. What more can you ask for? Thanks!

Ron and his team was extremely professional providing both excellent craftsmanship and customer service. When I called for a quote, Ron was able to stop by the same day and fit us into his schedule the next week. The crew arrived that morning and set-up the scaffolding without even waking up the baby! They completed the work in one day. Ron was even kind enough to explore the bizarre workings of our old house to explain to me what exactly was venting out of that chimney. We were very impressed with Ron's work on the chimney and plan to call him back this spring for other masonry work.
Description of Work: Our main chimney was bulging out at the top due to freeze/thaw damage. Ron removed the top 7 rows of bricks, reconstructed the top of the chimney, re-capped the chimney to prevent future water issues, and repointed the chimney down to the roof line.

We called Ron for an estimate at the end of the summer. Ron was punctual, professional, answered all of our questions and his work has been excellent on both occasions. His price is very reasonable given the high quality of the work. We plan to work with him again in the spring to repair exterior portions of a chiimney.
Description of Work: We have used Ron twice this fall: once to repair a large hole in the interior section of a chimney and to repoint some brick on the outside of the house, and again to repoint cracks in the garage and install ducting for a vent in an exterior brick wall.

Member, Sorry you feel this way. I do things correctly and safely. Your chimneys were both tough scaffolding jobs. Did you ask others for a cettificate of insurance? We have insurance and guarantee our work. I do quality work at a competative price in ALL neighborhoods.

It went great. It was about a week and a half from the first time I met Ron until the job was done. If it weren't for Hurricane Sandy, the job would have been done earlier. He had looked at my chimney from the outside when I wasn't at home, and then came back and took a look at the inside of the chimney when I expressed concerns there. Both Ron and his staff were very professional and did a great job, cleaning up both outside and in when the job was finished. I would definitely use them again.
Description of Work: Cut out & repoint bad mortar below roof inside attic & repoint. Tear off old cement cap on chimney & replace with new cement cap. Cut out bad joints at top of chimney & repoint as necessary.

Mr. Fisher returned my phone call the next day and came out to give me an estimate two days later. He was very personable. We scheduled for repair work to begin in two weeks, and he was there on the scheduled day. He and his two co-workers were very professional. The work was finished in one day. They cleaned up well. Mr. Fisher kept to the quoted cost. We are pleased with the work! The best part in that his estimate was more than $2,500 less than the first estimate I got from someone else!
Description of Work: We've had several bricks in our front wall slowly crumbling and a few chunks falling out at the corner. We were worried about water eventually seeping in, and a possible crack forming from lack of support for the bricks above. The chimney bricks had the same problems all around. Also, there were several small holes in the front wall from a previous owner. Mr. Fisher (and his two co-workers) removed and replaced the faulty bricks in the front wall and completely rebuilt and recapped the chimney. They used mortar to fill in the small holes, and even dyed the mortar to match the bricks so the patch work doesn't stand out.

He was nice and the price was reasonable. He came back once to tell me he was still searching for the brick and that was the last time I heard from him. I wanted it done in the spring and it's now fall.

Response from FISHER MASONRY CONTRACTING INC
Dear Member, Last we spoke you expressed the fact that you were very particular that we match a brick that was kilned 90 years ago. You had shown me prior patchwork that didn't meet your satisfaction. I did my best to find a size and color match but due to the age I found nothing that I thought you would be satisfied with. I was under the impression after our last conversation on my second visit to your home that we would keep searching and we left it at that. I'm sorry we couldn't accomodate you and wish you luck with your project. Ron Fisher

The work was done with obvious care and attention to detail. It was finished in just a few days after starting, and their clean up was excellent. Their initial quotes were in line with other companies and final bill did not exceed the quotes
Description of Work: Fisher Masonry repaired both a chimney and a front porch wall on our 50 year old brick house in Point Breeze. The chimney was for our gas furnace and hot water heater. They replaced the concrete cap, the top five rows of brick, and a number of individual bricks in the rest of the chimney wall. They replaced a dozen or so individual bricks in the front porch entrance wall, and repaired a section of damaged concrete along the front edge of the floor.

We are purchasing a home and needed to find a contractor to do chimney repairs at the sellers expense. It's a tricky situation that many contractors do not want to have anything to do with. However I did get a prompt call back and they agreed to go out and look at the house. I even left a message offering to pay for the time spent to generate the estimate. They never went to the house to look at the work to be done and they never returned my phone call. While I understand that it is not an ideal situation but we did offer to pay for time and I'm disappointed that I never received a call back. I did find another contractor from Angie's list who went out to the house promptly had a look and give us an estimate and we will be using him for this job and many more in the future.

Dear New Home buyer, Apparently I am a better bricklayer than secretary. I somehow misplaced your contact information and am truly sorry. Although I promised you a free estimate, without your contact information, I had no address or phone number. I am glad you found someone to take care of the issue with your new home. I apologize for my carelessness with your contact information; this was unusual for me. Again, please accept my sincerest apologies.

Ron Fisher was quick with a response and estimate. He showed up on time for the job and completed work in excess of what was written in the contract. He cleaned up at the job site and was professional at all times. I will definitely use Fisher Masonry again.

After I called they showed up next day to provide quote. Once I signed agreement they scheduled based on spring weather. The day they were on-site they showed up early and worked through lunch to ensure they could complete work before forcasted rain. They were prepared with tarps in case of weather. When they left work area was clean and you would never know they were there. I have additional work I have them quoting for future.

We are pleased with the work. Ron Fisher was the most professional of the 4 providers whom we contacted-- he got back to us promptly with an estimate for the job. He explained the limitations of working over the winter in Pennsylvania. We accepted the scheduling uncertainties associated with weather, but he kept us informed about his backlog of work and performed the job when he said he would. We gave him a 1/3 deposit on the job when we accepted his bid expecting that he would cash the check immediately, but he did not cash the check until he actually started the work. He is reliable and professional. He did what he promised.
Description of Work: We needed repointing and masonry repair. The rear brick wall of a two story house was bulging away from the house and the mortar was crumbling in several places. Over the years a gap had grown between the framing of the house and the brick facade. It looked like a big job and called for a professional. The chimney was also in need of repair.

Mr. Fisher was very prompt both in coming to give me an estimate and in scheduling and completing the work. It was done quickly and with no mess left for me to deal with.
Description of Work: Tore down part of a leaning chimney and rebuilt and repaired what was left, including a new vented cap. He also did some pointing in places on the porch that he noticed, simply because they were there and had the materials. It did not change the amount he charged.

Ron came out today to look at our fireplace and give us a second opinion after we had received an estimate for over $1600.00 to have our fireplace completely restructured by another company. He helped realign a damper that had gotten off track and walked me through how best to operate it. He pointed out that we should probably have the fireplace cleaned and repointed, but as far as the structure of the fireplace, he didn't see anything to indicate that we had a major problem as the other company had suggested. He helped us from potentially making a very expensive mistake and he barely charged me at all for his time. Very friendly and professional!
