We are very good at solving complicated issues efficiently. I've been working in the chimney industry for over 40 years. I still see things that I've never encountered, but that much experience makes it relatively easy to find a viable solution or solutions. Dave Myers, owner

The repair to the house was done well. The reconstruction of the brick pier was of marginal quality - the mortar joints are uneven and the appearance of the final work is only fair.
Description of Work: 1. Repoint cracked mortar joints/replace broken brick and cover unused fan vent. 2. Partial tear down construction of brick fence pier.

I scheduled them to come between 9-11am to sweep my chimney and at 10:55 received a phone call from them saying they were not going to be there until 3-5pm since the employee who was to clean my chimney had called in sick that morning. I told them that I would not be able to be at home from 3-5 and was then told that I would be the last ticket of the day and they would be there around 6pm. It is frustrating that I waited for them for two hours before they called to tell me the service would be delayed. I have called and scheduled with a different company and would not recommend American Professional Chimney and Masonry. My time is valuable, and I don't like to have it wasted.

You have a right to be upset. For that I apologize. However, we did try to accomodate you and reschedule for the same day with at least 2 different time frames including coming after hours. I feel an F grade very unfair. After all, you cancel so you never actually ever met us.

Unlike the many contractors we called they actually showed up and were very professional. They did a very nice job in a tight location. The only drawback was that they washed all of the concrete residue down the stairwell drain causing it to clog. They came out again to check this and agreed it may have been clogged by them. We agreed to split the cost of the $400 replacement. In addition, they had to jack hammer the footing to replace the drain. The ultimate drawback is that we no longer have a steel drain at the footing but a plastic one. See my opinion about the plumber. Would I use them again? Probably.
Description of Work: Re-pour concrete stairwell steps and replace stairwell retaining wall with block and steel reinforced concrete.

Thanks for your fairness in your review. The heavy wall PVC is actually a better product than your old cast iron drain in my opinion. They are the standard product in use today. Dave Myers, owner
