Cantrell Masonry Restoration & Construction

We have used Ron and his team for the last 12 years. From MAJOR renovations to small repair jobs. He and his team have always been very awesome to work with and come up with best ways to perform our projects.

The job at our building included a courtyard that has many plants and trees. We requested that the job be done with as little disruption to the plantings as possible. Cantrell did a great job. They were very careful and the courtyard survived intact. The team came day after day with a friendly and professional outlook. I would definitely recommend them.

  He showed up to look at the job but only had one contact with him after that.  Never heard back. Went with another contractor.  All the contractors are very busy so it may just be it was too small of a job for how busy they were.

Ron and his team were excellent from start to finish! The guys showed up first thing on Saturday morning, installed some scaffolding and started the work. Ron had a team of at least three guys on the job at all times - 2 on the roof and one on the ground. As you might imagine, demolishing 100+ square feet of mortar and stone and removing the wood frame from the chimney structure could create quite a mess! From start to finish the team from Cantrell Restoration ensured that the mess was kept to a minimum and that the surrounding roof structure, roofing, plants, etc. weren't damaged during the process. The debris from the demolition, which was substantial, was neatly contained on two tarps set up in the yard so as not to damage the underlying grass. The site was meticulously cleaned during each day and at the end of each day to ensure minimal disruption to our routine. On several occasions I noticed the guy on the ground picking up debris the size of a pebble! When all was said and done, the roof and the surrounding area looked great!

The reconstruction of the chimney was top-notch. The wood structure was re-built and covered with plywood - not OSB as it originally had been. The entire structure was waterproofed and fully - and correctly - prepared to receive the new stone veneer. The metal top cap was removed and replaced with a newly fabricated piece - the original cap was a major cause of the overall problem as the top cap used on the original construction was not properly sized or installed. Overall, the construction throughout and the end product was of very high quality.
One thing, among many, that impressed me was that the guys did everything they could - including working on both New Year's Eve AND New Year's Day! - to ensure the job was completed on time which it was. During construction at the end of each day the chimney was fully covered to ensure no leakage would occur while the new structure was being built and waterproofed. When the roofer arrived to finish buttoning everything up after the work on the chimney had been completed he even commented that the job was top notch and he felt comfortable that the new Chimney wouldn't leak. If it does, Cantrell has provided a written 5 year warranty so no worries on my part.
Overall, this job from bid to finish was done professionally, on-time and even slightly under budget. While I would rather have not had to spend $6500 to fix a 6 year old chimney, I'm confident that the work done by Cantrell Restoration Company not only addressed the immediate issue with the leak but will continue to hold up and last for many years to come. I would have no issue recommending Ron and Cantrell Restoration Company for any construction related job.

Quote was well done, and no problem requoting to allow for rebuilding a larger part of wall, per my request. Work was completed in a timely fashion, and was reasonably clean for a brick job. Price was much better than other two quotes received. When work was complete, I could not easily tell where the repair had been performed. A very good job was done of reassembling with random bricks installed and quot;proud or at an angleand quot; which matched exactly the original wall style. When future brick work is needed, I absolutely intend to call these guys back. Very good work, and at a very good price.

The work was great and Cantrell is great to work with. They also do window work.

He was very prompt and professional. We didn't use them because they were a couple thousand more expensive than our local guy. I would use them in the future if the price were right.
