His crew focused at the top of the chimney and the crown. Two men performed the job for about 8 hours. I asked him for an invoice which he provided. It stated the top was repaired including a new masonry cap, new top flue liner, replace loose bricks on the top 3 courses and miscellaneous mortar joint point up to the top of chimney. I guess what bothered me was the focus was on the top of the chimney. I can honestly say I don't see any other repair other than at the very top of the chimney just below the crown area. His website, www.elitemason.com, shows a 10% discount for work of $650 and more. I asked him about it. He said I got a friends and family discount which is not reflected on my invoice. I also questioned the 2-year only warranty on the invoice since his website states: " Our owner has more than 20 years of experience in working with concrete, stone, and brick, and knows exactly how to handle any project. If this father of four feels like he can?t look a client in the eye and tell them their masonry work is good for 20 years, then he won?t do the work." His invoice states the warranty only covers the work performed. I certainly understand that. I sent him two e-mail messages dated June 18 following up on the work performed. He never replied to them. I sent him a message asking him to modify the date because the work was performed on June 16, not June 12. No new receipt issued. So, in summary: 1. No 10% discount. 2. No extended warranty on work performed. 3. No correction to date on receipt to pass on to new owners. Very disappointed. Bottomline: Get your estimate with all conditions outlined in writing before the work is performed.
They not only discovered and diagnosed the problem quickly, they consulted with us on the solution. Additionally, their work was outstanding. They performed everything quickly and efficiently, cleaned up everything behind them, and informed us that the condo association would cover the cost (which is why we don't know how much it cost). Outstanding service!
Compare this with the first company we used, Complete Chimney & Fireplace of some unknown location in Virginia (absolutely no brick-and-mortar address on their card, their website, or their forms---only "Dan" and a phone number (and a PO Box). They did a perfectly adequate job replacing the fireplace box tiles, and they also did a largely adequate job replacing our surround, except for the bad collective decision (between "Dan" and his helper and the two of us) to not make the bottom piece of granite long enough. -- This is work that they can do, but it's not their specialty, clearly. They also didn't give us half the advice that Mr. Raycroft did, and they never went on the roof to notice that the cap over our chimney was both smashed in--and the wrong cap. "Dan" and his guy were also nice enough, they got two jobs done for us, and they also cleaned up after themselves, but we just can't figure out how they got the highest ratings on Angie's List. Complete Chimney & Fireplace is a good hire if you already know all you need to know about chimneys, mantels, and surrounds, and you simply want to hire a company to carry out the specific instructions that you provide. Rooftop Chimney Sweeps, Ltd., is for the rest of us, IMHO.
