Considering the nature of the task, work went well and was done in a professional and workmanlike manner. Mr. Goodlet made one mistake in facing the existing stone to accommodate the new insert and surround, but on balance, we were pleased with the results and appreciative of the fast response. At the completion of the job, we asked for a quote to level concrete steps leading to porch. We were disappointed that Mr. Goodlet did not get back with a quote.
Description of Work: Goodlet was called at the recommendation of another contractor to suggest a plan and give and estimate for removal and covering four metal ventilators from limestone fireplace facing and for planeing the limestone around the fireplace opening to level for a new fireplace insert and surround.. Developed a feasible plan and provided an estimate. Returned the following day - on time and prepared for the work, made appropriate provisions for protecting the living area from dust and proceeded to complete the work, remeasure and make adjustments, and install stone to cover the vent holes. Mr. Goodlet and his assistant were very pleasant to work with and careful to explain what they were doing, including the fact that the mortar used to install the stone would not perfectly match the existing mortar. Cleaned up very thoroughly after completion of the work.

I would use again. The guy knows what he is doing. It's a small business. They were responsive to my phone call and was here within half an hour. I would recommend this company.
Description of Work: They tore the bricks down to the roof because it was leaking. He took the roof off to the chimney and put flashing on.

We have used Bob Goodlet a few times before and he does a very good job but he is a little temperamental sometimes. He's sort of a free spirit but we have never had any trouble with him. As far as I remember, he's always been on time. He also started the job and stayed with it each day until it was finished. Some of the work was a little expensive but his does an exceptional job. I like him and I would use him again.
Description of Work: He totally rebuilt the chimney for us from the roof up, has also worked on our second chimney & has previously done some tuck pointing work for us as well. He also installed a new chimney damper for us.

On first visit to home, was very good. After that, poor. Company did not make their commitments.
Description of Work: Received estimate last June for chimney repair to be done in Fall of 2005 (October) $950. Never called back in October. I called, left message. Received one voice message. He would call back. Never did call back. I called 3 times and finally talked to company. He would not be able to do the repair until Spring of 2006. Have since contacted another company for estimate on repairs.

BOB GOODLET GAVE AN ESTIMATE IN AUGUST 2004. DUE TO HIS SCHEDULE AND THE AVAILABILITY OF MATCHING BRICK, HE INDICATED THIS JOB WOULD BE ONE OF THE FIRST IN 2005. HE STAYED IN TOUCH AND WORKED HARD TO FIND BRICK TO MATCH (EXISTING BRICK IS NO LONGER AVAILABLE). HE ARRIVED ON TIME, KEPT US APPRAISED OF THE PROGRESS, AND CLEANED UP DEBRIS. VERY EASY TO WORK WITH. WOULD RECOMMEND TO ANYONE WHO NEEDS CHIMNEY REPAIR.

WE PAID PREMIUM PRICE AND HE DID NOT INFORM US THAT THE CAP MATERIAL WE SELECTED COULD LEAK UNTIL AFTER IT WAS DONE. WELL, IT DID LEAK AND UNSEALED ITSELF FROM THE BRICK. HE CAME BACK BEGRUDGINGLY AND REPAIRED IT, BUT IT STILL LEAKED. WE ENDED UP HIRING ANOTHER MASON TO REPAIR GOODLETS WORK. WE FEEL WE WERE RIPPED OFF. THIS GUY IS SUPPOSE TO BE THE PROFESSIONAL AND HE TOOK OUR MONEY AND WE HAD TO HAVE IT REDONE.
Description of Work: REBUILT CHIMNEY AND 3 RETAINING WALLS.

BOB GOODLET IS VERY CONSCIENTIOUS ABOUT THE QUALITY OF WORK HE PROVIDES. HE HAS A ONE YEAR GUARANTEE ON MATERIAL AND LABOR. AFTER THE WORK WAS COMPLETED, THE FIREPLACE STILL OCCASIONALLY LEAKED AFTER VERY HEAVY RAIN. I CALLED BOB AND TOLD HIM WHAT WAS HAPPENING. BEING AS HOW IT WAS NOVEMBER, HE SAID IT WOULD BE BETTER TO WAIT UNTIL SPRING BEFORE APPLYING A SEALER ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE CHIMNEY WHICH WOULD ADDRESS THE PROBLEM. TO MY PLEASANT SURPRISE, HE WAS THE ONE WHO CALLED FIRST IN THE SPRING AND INFORMED ME HE PURCHASED THE SEALER. HE SIMPLY WANTED TO WAIT FOR SEVERAL DAYS OF DRY WEATHER SO THE SEALER WOULD TAKE HOLD. IT SEEMED AS THOUGH IT RAINED CONSTANTLY DURING THE SPRING AND SUMMER. BOB WAS FINALLY ABLE TO GET OUT TO MY HOUSE IN LATE JUNE. AFTER APPLYING THE SEALER, HE TOLD ME TO CALL HIM IF I HAD ANY MORE PROBLEMS. SO FAR, SO GOOD. I HAVEN'T NOTICED ANY MORE LEAKING DURING EXTREMELY HEAVY RAIN.
Description of Work: IN OCTOBER 2002, DETERIORATING/AGING MORTAR JOINTS REPAIRED, TOP OF FLUE TUCK POINTED, OLD CAULKING TAKEN OFF AND REPLACED, FIRE BOX REPAIRED, ASH DUMP & CLEAN OUT DOOR IN BASEMENT REPLACED, AND CHIMNEY CAP REPLACED WITH ICE BREAKER DAMPER W/STAINLESS STEEL CAP
