A pleasure to work with! Extremely responsive, professional, and service oriented. The initial evaluation was thorough and Micah took his time investigating the situation. They cleaned up after the work and followed up a week later to make sure we were still happy.
They rescheduled on me twice...were an hour late, but he was very nice. He explained everything really well and told us he would give us a quote on replacing our cap. It's been 5 weeks and no quote.
Description of Work: Hired them for a yearly chimney sweep.

Great, he explained everything to me about the inspection. In the past I went to a discounted sweeper and I was told that I had thousands of dollars worth of work to be done , and I dont need anything. I trust their assessment ,due to his knowledge about chimneys. He explained differant types of wood that are best to use and more.

Micah is great--extremely knowledgeable and goes the extra mile to explain, communicate, and educate. He even helped diagnose a separate issue involving a water heater and took the time to call back (even once the chimney work was done!) to troubleshoot over the phone.

Hearthside did an amazing job repairing tuck points on the house and repairing the chimney. Work was completed in a day and looks great. They were even able to match the color of the mortar on a 35 year old house!
Description of Work: Repaired tuck points including and repaired chimney.
Description of Work: They cleaned my chimney for me and had discovered that their was some mortar loose and it needed to be fixed, they recommended not using the fireplace until fixing the mortar. They were able to schedule a date to come fix the mortaring by Sunday and even apologized for my wait. The service man was very friendly and wrote everything out regarding the work for me to see and the work was excellent.
The visit couldn't have gone any better. I had recently contacted a competitor of Hearthside to clean and review the chimney. The day they were set to arrive, they gave me a 2 hr window, and no calls when they were arriving. As soon as this company finally arrived and walked in I knew I was in a sales pitch. They tried to pressure me into buying $10,000 worth of fixes on the spot by using scare tactics. The company walked in with no protection against falling ash and left within 30 min after they realized I wasn't in a position to spend$10,000. I then contacted Hearthside for a second opinion. First I was called the day before to confirm appointment, and also contacted when he was on his way to let me know he would be arriving in 20-30 minutes. The person showed up and informed me he would be looking at the roof first as it was getting dark. He spent more time on the roof than the original company did the entire trip. When he came down he explained in great detail the issues and fixes associated. I first realized this was going to be a much better experience when he made sure to put on booties to protect my house from dirt. He also carried a blanket in with him to protect any surrounding floors or furniture. He then proceeded to go into detail what he saw on the inside of the chimney from inside the house. He spent 2 hours explaining what I had, what needed to be done, the history behind some of the design techniques used and the next steps forward. He did not want to give me costs on the spot as he wanted to make sure I wasn't pressured and had time to digest everything he was telling me. The cost for hearthside was more expensive but its the old saying "you get what you pay for". It was nice to have someone so passionate about chimneys that I felt like the extra cash was WELL worth it. I would recommend this company to all my friends and family.
Description of Work: The provider came to my house to review and inspect the chimney/fireplace. What I got was a 2 hour lesson on issues/problems/fixes. I never expected someone to take as much time as this provider to make sure I understood my fireplace. He provided a real-time camera to inspect all cracks and corners of the chimney. This provider gave pictures to help understand issues and concerns with the roof cap.

Response from Hearthside Chimney & Masonry
It was a true pleasure to serve you Removed mbr info! An extremely polite and kind indivudual, whom even offered to help me carry my equipment back to my service vehicle Upon completion, as it was raining, to which i politely declined for the sake of professionalism, however the offer was extremely kind non the less. It was truly my pleasure to help spread NFPA 211 national standard education and awareness and hopefully brining a wonderful family piece of mind in order to safely enjoy their fireplace this burn season. Thank you again so much for the opportunity to earn your business and for the very positive and kind review. We look forward to serving all of your chimney & masonry needs in the future, as we feel we now have a customer for life! Kind Regards, Micah Weigold Hearthside Chimney & Masonry

Needing a chimney repair I researched the BBB for reviews and ratings. I found several and I made calls to for estimates. When I made the call to Hearthside Chimney & Masonry, I left my name and number. To my surprise, I received a call back immediately and Micah was at my home within the hour for the inspection. He thoroughly inspected the chimney explained his options for repair. He also showed me samples of the materials he would use for both repairs. Micah explained how he would do the job, the time it would take and the warranties. I was told that the warranty would transfer to the new owner. He left to figure the cost and emailed us the next morning with the bid. During that time, we also had another estimate done. Although the other folks were nice, the level of professionalism went beyond anything we expected from Micah and Hearthside. We weren't looking for the cheapest estimate but for the best job done by the employees and also materials. Micah came when the job was being done, and he was on the roof with the others. He took pictures of the job before the work started and as it was being completed through to the finished product. We couldn't be happier with everything related to this company. As a matter of fact, I will be making a call to them for a repair on another home. Thank you Micah at Hearthside for a job well done! Mrs. Roberts Florence, KY
Description of Work: Hearthside inspected the chimney to determine the cause of cracking in the brick of the chimney. They fixed the cause of the cracking in the chimney by removing algae growth from exterior of chimney, apply a water repellent to the entire chimney and applied a crowncoat. They also repointed the cracked brick mortar joints along with repairing the cracked bricks.

Response from Hearthside Chimney & Masonry
Unfortunately, we were NEVER contacted by this customer to begin with and there must be a mistake in regards to whom they thought they had spoken with. We deeply regret that no member of staff bothered to contact us from Angies List and notify us that we had had a negative review posted about our company as well, being as that we take the utmost pride in our reputation and have NEVER had a negative review and to the contrary have a multitude of positive comments on several online review sites including an A+ rating with the BBB and all positive reviews there. Again, we are very displeased that there is no arbitration/ dispute resolution process with Angies List as opposed to the BBB. It deeply saddens us that a potential customer would post a negative review about our business having never even contacting us, let alone utilized our services. We understand that mistakes happen and often several companies are contacted for estimates/quotes and confusion can ensue as a result. Kind Regards, Micah Weigold Hearthside Chimney & Masonry

More than 20 years ago my wife and I had repointing work (by a different company) performed on the same house. We were pretty ignorant about what is proper repointing work. As a result, we received a poor to fair job. They used the wrong type of mortar, the color didn't match, and it wasn't applied properly. Because of this experience we were anxious to find someone with the right knowledge, skill, and integrity to do the work. Our first contact was with Micah at Hearthside Chimney and Masonry. We were impressed with his web site and felt this was probably the right company. Shortly after meeting with Micah we were positive. He is extremely knowledgeable about his work and we were put at ease after seeing his work. Plus, he is very friendly, willing and able to work around our schedule, and always concerned that we are more than happy with his work. Amazingly, he is prompt, calls to let us know if he will be delayed, and always cleans up totally at the end of the day. He never left us hanging. The work is first rate and we will us Hearthside Chimney and Masonry again. The price for this type work is not cheap but worth it; especially on an historic structure. Had we been able to use Hearthside Chimney and Masonry more than 20 years ago we would not have needed this work now.
Description of Work: Micah (the owner) repointed and repaired damaged bricks in a number of areas on our circa 1830 brick house. Also, he patched an area on a concrete slab and repointed areas of a basement block foundation.

Hearthside was fabulous! He arrived exactly when scheduled. He was very professional and courteous. He replaced our chimney cap and swept our chimney. He was extremely particular about the care he took inside and outside our home. No mess at all! It is nice to have the peace of mind to not be concerned about a chimney fire!

It couldn't have been better! I have never worked with a more conscientious contractor in any field! They were informative. They kept us apprised of the status. When they realized we needed trees trimmed they did not change the quote. They did everything promised and more! They found branches in the gutters, they found a nest of bugs they removed them all.
