Description of Work: Jim did an excellent job. He was very responsive, communicative & punctual. He never complained despite the bad weather that delayed doing work and finishing the job. At the end of the day he always emailed what was done and what was left to do. He would tell me when he would show up the next day and what he planned on accomplishing. I would not hesitate to use him again.

It went very well. He would email me and tell me when he was coming and what he was going to do that day. I liked knowing what was going on. He was professional, on time and cleaned up afterward.
Description of Work: He took down the chimney to the roof and rebuilt the chimney to code, put on new flashing and also a chimney cap. He also went up in my attic and took off the old and crumbling cement that was covering the old chimney and recovered it with new cement. My chimney was very old, over 100 years old and was short and not up to code, no cap either and when it rained, it would sometimes leak into my attic.

We wanted to install a chimney cap and purchased a deal with Jim Sullivan Masonry LLC ($150 for $300 of work). Jim came over to evaluate the situation. He found that the top of the chimney had a thin layer of cement with cracks and proposed a solution to fix this issue and also install the chimney cover. Jim scheduled the work, conveniently for us on a Saturday, and performed the work promptly. The work is of good quality, and we would consider Jim again for future masonry services.

He was professional and cleaned up everything once the job was finished. I will reccomend his services to anyone in needs of this type of work.
Description of Work: I had a chimney that was in serious disrepair and it was also not up to code. I had contacted Jim Sullivan through Angies List and he called me back right away and was out at my home the next day to provide an estimate.

My experience with Jim Sullivan Masonry was excellent. He came on the Sunday of Labor Day weekend as a consult, out of curiosity, I think, since my story was so pathetic.. He never said the first mason's work was faulty. He made observations about the first guy's work. I thought that was pretty ethical on Jim's part. Jim tore out the first guy's work and redid all of the work for half the price the first guy wanted for the whole job. Most of the rest of the story has been covered above.
Description of Work: Jim rescued me from a less than mediocre mason! Jim had to remove the partially completed firewall in my fireplace, the smoke shelf, parging of the throat, and the damper done by the first mason. The town's building inspector felt the partially completed original work was passable but he had reservations about safety and quality of work. He gave me a long lecture on the "science " of rebuilding a fireplace as being a lot more than "piling a bunch of bricks." He did not feel the first mason was very adept at his trade. He left saying, "You should make a fire in there and make sure the smoke goes up before you pay him." I called Jim and he came in gave me an estimate and returned to do the job and did it the way he said he would do it. He rebuilt the whole firewall more completely than the earlier mason, parged the throat, put in a smoke shelf and installed a damper. I am very pleased with his work. Jim arrived when he said he would and finished the job in three days as he said he would. Jim is not a slick and glib salesman. He shares his thoughts and answers your questions to the point. He does not fill the air with useless chatter. He is confident in his ability to do the job and also confident that he has more work coming in. He does not have to spend time selling his services.

I would like to thank the client for that well thought review. Masonry & fireplace construction have been my life for 30 years. I was happy to perform the service for the client. I think it had a positive outcome for both of us. Jim Sullivan.

The member contacted me complaining of his chimney leaking. I responded immediately to the complaint. He showed me two areas in the home where water was causing damage. I offered him multiple solutions which he agreed to purchase. When i was finished he had no more leaks.

They were efficient and they got it done when they said they would. They showed up when they said they would. When he was working in my basement, he kind of nicked my water heater. He tried to fix it and got it to a trickle. He wanted to leave it for me deal with. He left with me a damper that was too long and that he would get the right size for me. He put that in writing. I would hesitate to use him.

I told the member that her fireplace was outdated & that finding a matching damper would be impossible but i would try. After searching through my pile of used parts, i could not locate one. I offered her a $100 discount off of a universal sized top sealing chimney damper, she declined. As for the water heater, i told her to have it fixed by a professional. I reimburssed her for the cost of the repair. Jim Sullivan.
