Joe and Mike replaced, one complete chimney, recapped and tuck-pointed two others on our home along with a half dozen spots around our home. I appreciated the response, explanation of their work, the how and why, along with the before, during, and after pictures. Would definitely recommend them.
Description of Work: One chimney replaced. Two tuck-pointed with top two rows new and recapped. Tuck-pointing on about half dozen areas around my brick home, replacing a couple broken bricks along foundation. Sealed all three chimneys.

Joseph is a perfect pro. He came for an estimate, explained exactly the work to be done and the process for completing it, using photos to make it perfectly clear to us. He and his team came when they said they would, they did a great cleaning job with the debris, were careful around the garden, and the work looks beautiful--see photo. (The new liner takes a week to dry so we haven't tried the chimney yet...). The estimate was the same as final cost, so no surprises. FYI: The process of cleaning the flue involves keeping a fan in the flue for 48 hrs, so it's a bit noisy, but that's how it works. All in all, this was a 100% pro job from start to finish, and we know that to accomplish this you have to work hard at it, so our deep thanks!!
Description of Work: chemically cleaning the flue, relining flue with heat shield sealant, rebuilding chimney crown and hearth lip.

It was very smooth. He got it done in a couple of weeks (as he had told us) and billed us the same amount he had estimated. He did a nice job, and it looks good.
Description of Work: Our chimney needed repairs. We are not very knowledgeable when it comes to chimneys, but the guy from Guardian explained exactly what he could do and how much it would cost.

My chimney was cracked and would leak into the house during heavy rains. Guardian rebuilt it and we have had huge downpours since then -- and no leaks in the house! It also looks beautiful -- great job!

I insist on three qualities in a home-improvement contractor: impeccable workmanship, excellent communication, and reliability. I found all three in Guardian Chimney Solutions. Word of mouth is the way I prefer to select a contractor who’ll do the job right and provide me with the results I expect. My neighbor recommended Guardian when I told him my chimney was crumbling. After Joseph and his crew completed my chimney rebuild, I understood why my neighbor’s recommendation came so easily. Guardian’s workmanship was outstanding. The crew worked efficiently and completed the job to industry standards. They closely matched the color of the bricks on my 50-year-old chimney, which was something I thought would be impossible. Throughout the interaction, Joseph stayed in close contact via phone calls, texts, emails, and photos. To me, good communication is paramount. Joseph’s estimate included an exact description of the repair and photos of my disintegrating chimney. The photos showed me what I couldn’t see from the ground. Joseph called me the morning of the scheduled repair to tell me when the crew would arrive. Later in the day the crew had to stop work because of lightning. Before the crew left, they told me what was happening, where the project stood, and when they’d return. Later that evening Joseph texted with a project update. And when the job was done, he sent photos of the finished job. I’ve been around too long to tolerate unreliable contractors. I was in corporate business all my life and in that time I wouldn’t have dreamed of delaying a project, blowing off responsibilities, or arriving late to work or meetings. I hold contractors to that same standard. Joseph’s follow-through was second to none — he said what he was going to do and he did it. I’m happy with the work Guardian did on my chimney and, perhaps just as important, the way Joseph and his crew stayed in contact and performed that work. I was so impressed with the crew that I’ve recommended them to my daughter and son-in-law. Quality workmanship, excellent communication, reliability — that’s what I got with Guardian.

Guardian Chimney Services did an outstanding job. They gave an accurate estimate, and answered our questions. Their crew arrived promptly, erected scaffolding, were careful about not damaging landscaping. They matched brick color on 40-year-old chimneys. Everyone knew their jobs, and they finished the repairs in less than a day, We were very happy with the work itself and the experience of working with them.
Description of Work: On a big chimney, build new top crown with limestone drip ledge, rebuild 13 courses of chimney masonry, and tuck-point two feet down from new bricks. Same work on a small chimney with top crown, limestone drip edge, 2 courses of masonry rebuilt, and tuck-point to chimney edge.

I recently had Guardian Chimney Solutions install a chimney cap. Not only did they do that, but they were also able to do a quick analysis of my chimney and provide recommendations for future work. They were not pushy in terms of getting this additional work done, only providing details on what it meant and what could happen in the future. I would definitely work with Guardian Chimney Solutions again in the future.

Joe was very responsive and got the job done quickly. Throughout the process, I was informed of timeline and provided photos. The crew was very conscientious and kept the job very tidy. We were having paintwork done at the same time, and the guys went above and beyond to make sure they didn't affect any of that. I would certainly recommend Guardian Chimney to family/friends.

They came to replace the chimney cap with a new one within 3 days. I called on the weekend and they answered the call and assured me they would take care of me. I called 4 places and they were the only ones to answer the call. He came out on Tuesday and put the new cap on the chimney and gave me a quote for some tuckpointing and other chimney work.

I worked with Joseph at Guardian Chimney when I need the chimney on my 1927 bungalow restored. I couldn’t be happier with the service! They are very responsive with communication, happy to answer any questions, scheduling service was a breeze and they do great work! I wouldn’t hesitate to use them for any of your chimney restoration or maintenance needs. - Steven Strache

We were very impressed with the quality and professionalism of the whole Guardian crew. They arrived well within the window of time I was given for both the inspection and the rebuild work, and completed both in a timely manner. The owner made himself available for questions and explanations throughout the whole process and was very patient and helpful with anything we asked. I wish I had another chimney that was falling apart just so I could use them again! Overall a a very positive experience.
