 + -1 moreJIM RILEY IS AN ARTISAN. HE FOUND BRICK THAT MATCHES JUST AS CLOSE AS POSSIBLE. THEN HE AND HIS CREW LAID THAT BRICK SO PERFECTLY STRAIGHT THAT IT IS JUST ABSOLUTELY LOVELY TO LOOK AT NOW. I POINT OUT MY NEW CHIMNEY TO OTHERS AND ALL AGREE THE BRICK IS PERFECTLY STRAIGHT AND WELL MATCHED. BELIEVE IT OR NOT I SOMETIMES STAND IN MY YARD AND JUST STARE AT THAT BEAUTIFUL CHIMNEY. I HAVE SOME OTHER BRICK WORK THAT NEEDS TO BE DONE, AND I WOULD NEVER LET ANYONE ELSE DO IT BUT JIM RILEY. HE HAS BEEN DOING THIS 30 YEARS; WHEN HE LAYS A BRICK YOU CAN'T FIND ONE DETAIL OUT OF PLACE. HE IS HONEST WITH THE MONEY TOO: I WANTED TO PAY THE SECOND HALF ONCE THE JOB PASSED THE CITY PERMIT INSPECTION. THAT WAS FINE WITH HIM. THE JOB QUICKLY PASSED AND I HAPPILY PAID HIM THE REST OF HIS MONEY. I WAS THRILLED AND STILL AM.
Description of Work: MY CHIMNEY WAS BUILT WITH SOFT BRICK, SO OVER THE YEARS WINTER FREEZES CAUSED PIECES TO BREAK OFF THE BRICK, AND FALL ONTO THE ROOF AND FALL DOWN INTO THE YARD. THIS IS KNOWN AS ''DELAMINATION'' ACCORDING TO A STRUCTURAL ENGINEER WHO CHECKED THE CHIMNEY. I HIRED JIM RILEY TO REPLACE THE BRICK WITH HARD BRICK WHICH WOULD NOT DELAMINATE. JIM LOOKED FOR A BRICK THAT WOULD MATCH MY HOUSE, WHICH WAS NOT EASY TO DO SINCE MY HOUSE BRICK IS 30 YEARS OLD. HE BROUGHT SOME CHOICES BACK FOR ME TO DECIDE WHICH BRICK, HELPING ME DECIDE. THEN HE BOUGHT A LOAD OF THE CHOSEN BRICK AND BROUGHT A CREW OF 4-5 MEN TO DO THE JOB. THEY BUILT A SCAFFOLDING TO DO THE JOB CORRECTLY.
