Had some tuckpointing done on the front of the house and it looks really solid. The color match on the mortar was closer than I expected. Took them about a day and a half I think.
The mortar between the bricks on our chimney had gotten so bad you could literally pull chunks out with your fingers. Like crumbly sand just falling out whenever it rained. Danny's crew came out and repointed the whole thing, I think maybe 40 or 50 linear feet of joints total. They matched the mortar color pretty close to what was already there which I wasn't sure they'd be able to do since the house is from the 70s. Water stopped coming in through that side wall after the first big storm, so that was the real test for me.
I had some serious concerns about the condition of my chimney. It hadn't been cleaned or inspected in years, and I was worried about potential safety issues. The team was recommended by a neighbor, so I gave them a call. The technician arrived promptly and inspected everything thoroughly. He explained that the chimney needed some masonry repairs, and the chimney cap was rusted and leaking. The crew got to work and repaired the damaged mortar, replaced the cap, and cleaned out the chimney. They made sure everything was up to code and safe to use. Now, my chimney is in great shape, and I'm confident it will last for many years. I was very impressed with their professionalism and quality of work. I'll definitely be calling them for future maintenance.
We had been noticing some odd smells and smoke coming into the house every time we used our fireplace, so we knew something wasn't right with the chimney. I called Danny after reading some positive reviews. The technician was great. He showed up on time, was professional, and really took the time to explain the issues. He found several cracks in the masonry and a blocked flue that was causing the smoke backup. They got to work right away and did a fantastic job fixing the cracks, replacing the damaged mortar, and cleaning the entire chimney. It's been a couple of months since the repair, and we've used the fireplace several times with no issues. I'm so relieved it's fixed, and I can't recommend them enough. Their service was outstanding.
