They have definitely earned my business.

I made an investment on a foreclosed house last spring, I thought I did pretty good considering when all was said and done, there were only a few areas that required repair. The previous owner neglected both the fireplace and chimney, I’m assuming they never used it based on the condition that it was in. I however found the fireplace to be an attractive feature of the house and was definitely planning on using it come wintertime. I could see bricks beginning to bulge out of the side and I knew that needed to be corrected before creating any type of fire inside of my home. I called out two different companies (not going to name any names) and the quotes I got were more costly than I anticipated, on top of it, their representatives seemed to be lacking in the professionalism department. One particular technician was very hard to communicate with, I really did not understand the reasons behind everything he tried selling me. I felt as though he was trying to rip me off, the poor quality tattoo on his neck reinforced my feeling of distrust. I immediately questioned the integrity of their work and was not in a hurry to make any agreement. June rolled around and I was better prepared to hire a service to carry out the needed chimney repairs. After having a conversation with one of my neighbors, he suggested that I consult the same company that did some work on his brothers house. Word of mouth I feel is always the best type of recommendation. I called Elite Chimney and Leonard (who I’m assuming was the owner) came out for an estimate the next weekend. He was on time, very polite, and was even willing to show me his cost of materials. His estimate was much cheaper than the other two estimates that I had received which opened up my budget for other areas of the house that needed work. I agreed on the price of a new liner, a damper, and some extensive tuckpointing. Work was scheduled to start next week. The job was completed on time, I was shown pictures of all of the work performed (inside and out). I found this to be reassuring as I was at work during most of the days and was not able to track any of the progress myself. Leonard even tuckpointed a different area of my house at no extra charge where he noticed cracked morter joints. He told me not to worry about it since he had leftover morter anyways. Because of this I decided to take the time out and write this review. I would recommend Elite Chimney and Masonry to anyone. They have definitely earned my business.
