Gave thorough estimate of either partial replacement or complete replacement. Very knowledgeable and was helpful in explaining the consequence of a partial replacement (how long it would last). Answered my questions well. Started project when he said he would. Most impressive, did not work on the day there was a major snowstorm (no surprise), but the day that the roof was ok to work on again, they were back. Though he himself did not do all the work, he closely supervised his employees. The cleanup was complete. He was extremely gracious with me regarding a delay in my paying him. I will use his services again and recommend him highly to anyone looking for a mason's services.
Description of Work: Estimates both for partial replacement and complete replacement of chimney. Completed replacement of chimney.

They do high quality work. They cut and put together a mosaic limestone facing and tuck pointed 2 of my chimneys while grinding out old mortar and putting in new.

Description of Work: Ron Summers came promptly to make an estimate on the work I needed done. he explained well the details of the different levels of work he could do to accomplish different goals. he was not pushy at all about offering the more expensive job versus the less expensive job. he gave me a thorough written estimate on both versions of the job. on discussions with others he gave me accurate description of the advantages and disadvantages of each of the levels of work he proposed. he called back at appropriate intervals to see if I had made a decision. he was clear from the beginning as to when he would be able to start on the job. he arrived as scheduled checking with me whether that would work. he showed up exactly when he said he would. he supervised his employees very closely. he checked on their work and gave clear directions to them. they were interrupted by a major snowstorm, but protected completed work well. they showed up again as soon as the snow was clear enough to work safely on the roof. Ron was very patient with my limitations. he was consistently polite professional and friendly. I plan to do another masonry project in the near future with Mr. Summers.

We did a major renovation on a 1912 house, and Ron Summers and Summers Masonry did all the concrete work on the project. Ron is professional, dependable, and his work always came in on time and exactly as bid. His work is extremely high quality and working with him is pleasant and easy. Everything on our project related to Summers Masonry went very well. We have the highest regard for they work they do. After they worked on our basement, it's gone from a lake every time it rains hard to dry as a bone. And the driveway (including an integrated drain and cast iron grate) is beautiful. I highly recommend Summers masonry, and would work with him again without hesitation.
Description of Work: Trenched and waterproofed foundation, put french drain and new plumbing in basement, foundation for addition, new driveway, chimney repair, skim coating basement walls.

Ron and his crew are exceptionally easy to work with. They were a pleasure to be around, very detail oriented and always left the area clean at the end of the day. The job took about three weeks to complete and they worked without disruption. I never had to worry if they were going to show up. The job turned out really well. I would recommend them without reservation.
Description of Work: Foundation for new sunroom and garage. Removal of old driveway and patio. Dugout for installation of rain drains. Installed 250' of French drain. Numerous saw cuts to basement concrete walls and floor. Small interior slab and trench fill.
The work was very high quality work. They were very professional and cleaned up well.
Description of Work: I had a chimney tuck point repair done and limestone facing installed on my fireplace.

They did excellent work. The chimneys look almost original and and all gaps were filled. The new limestone-faced fireplace and hearth are beautiful, and the detailing (e.g. spacing between tiles) was precise. They removed the old debris and cleaned up very well, and they were very professional and good to have around and in my house.
Description of Work: They ground out old mortar and tuck-pointed two, hundred-year old chimneys and replaced flashing as needed. They also removed an old stone fireplace in the living room and replaced it with a cement block structure and limestone tile facing. They also removed an old tiled hearth, leveled the surface and applied new limestone tiles.

Outstanding! The work is very well done. Ron did masonry work for our front entrance/steps. It's beautifully done. We've had compliments on the paver work. He is a pleasure to work with as he seems to be always happy. He knows his stuff. We have confidence in what he does.
Description of Work: Poured concrete for entrance to garage.

They started the job only a couple days after the start date proposed a month earlier. They worked long days to complete the job on schedule. They were very professional and careful to protect my house; their work was of very high quality. The chimney work required a scaffold up to the third floor, grinding out the old mortar joints and tuck pointing. Rebuilding the fireplace was a complex project (tearout of old stone, brick and tile, installation of a new firebrick interior, new facing block, releveling the sloped concrete hearth, cutting and installing limestone tile, grouting and cleanup. The end product was great. They cleaned up the site very well and did it all at the bid price. I didn't get bids from others, but the cost seemed reasonable given the size of the job, the number of workers involved, and the quality of their work.
Description of Work: Ron and his crew did three projects: they repaired two old brick chimneys that were in poor condition; they tore out an existing brick/stone/tile fireplace and hearth; they rebuilt the firebox and hearth and installed limestone tile onto the rebuilt fireplace and hearth.

Ron Summers came out to give us a bid. He was great about following up with us and answered questions and concerns we had about the project. Another company told us that they could reuse the brick, but Ron explained that all of the brick was failing because it had been covered in stucco. Ron and his crew were going to arrive on a Thursday, but due to another job were going to be there on Monday instead. Ron called and explained the delay, which I thought was great. We've had so many people not communicate with us, so we really appreciated it. They showed up at 7:30 on a Monday morning and got to work building the five story scaffolding and began the tear down. They were very respectful of our home, roof and landscaping. They worked every day until 6/6:30 and cleaned up the entire area when they finished that Thursday afternoon. They even vacuumed out the four fireplaces that debris had fallen into during the construction. It was very refreshing to have a company communicate, show up when they said they would, do the work from start to finish without a hitch or delay, and clean up after themselves. It was a very worry-free experience.
Description of Work: Summers Masonry came out and gave us a bid on a tear down of our existing chimney. They had to set up five story scaffolding to be able to access the chimney. They installed new galvanized counter-flashing at roofline, rebuilt the chimney back up to the existing height (almost 50 layers), installed horizontal and vertical rebar, installed new clay flu liners, installed a decorative design on top, installed new mortar crown on top with glavanized rebar, acid washed and cleaned up area.

Ron was great, helpful, and a pleasure to work with, even after we changed our minds following the completion of a section of work. We havde since gotten many compliments from the neighbors, and several of them have contacted Ron regarding work on their houses.
Description of Work: We decided to finally re-model and re-landscape the front exterior of our home. We spoke with several contractors regarding new driveways, stone facia, etc, and all were more expensive than we had hoped. Ron Summers, on the other hand, did a spectacular job, on time, for the agreed-upon price, which included a new stone chimney, stone wainscoting, and new driveway and entry path of matching pavers. Excellent.
