Description of Work: I had called JC Masonry to give me an estimate on having our chimney and fireplace fixed. They showed up and were very nice guys. I came home as they were leaving our house, but my daughter was here while they looked things over, and she said that they never even went up on the roof to inspect the chimney. How do you come up with an estimate when you don't inspect what needs to be fixed? They gave me an estimate of $2,000 The owner gave me a verbal estimate of $5,000. When I dropped my jaw, he said that it could be as low as $2,000. Huge gap there! On top of that, he promised me an email with a written estimate the following Monday. That was back in October. It's almost Christmas and I'm still waiting. We did hire Safe and Warm to do the work and they were wonderful. Cost $1,200.

Response from JC Masonry
In response to this members review, we did take a look at this chimney which was a one story ranch house. I could clearly see from that distance this chimney needed to be rebuilt from the roof up and was beyond patch work. The firebox on the inside was also in very poor condition. Again this fireplace and chimney needed much more than a patch and liner. After taking several pictures inside and out to determine a proper brick count I talked with the homeowner who requested a ballpark figure. Without fully sitting down to figure cost I quickly gave her a low to high price range of cost. I am very sorry i was not able to properly bib on this job as we where late in the season and very busy.

Description of Work: Rebuilt the upper portion of our primary chimney, this included the demo of the existing structure, and sourcing of brick & mortar to exactly match the 60 yr old bricks of the original chimney, along with a new capstone. James was very professional in all aspects of the job and his workmanship was excellent. The job site was left neat and orderly after each workday, and the final cleanup was very thorough. I would definitely use his services in the future and recommend him to anyone.

Description of Work: Repaired/replaced our chimney. James was terrific. He even came to finish up the work on a Sunday as it was raining on the day we originally scheduled, and didn't charge any extra for the labor. We had an extra $100 from our original quote because he replaced the upper liner as it was very worn when he looked at it. I was very happy with his work,; it looks beautiful and he cleaned up everything when finished.

The entire job went off without a hitch. James went above and beyond to make sure the brick and the mortar matched existing as much as possible. As he completed the work, he explained what he was doing and why he felt it was important. He worked to ensure a fix that was stronger and more stable than the original job. He cleaned up the job site and left it exactly the way he found it.
Description of Work: On existing chimney, removed old bricks and relaid new ones, ground out and repointed joints and installed new flashing. Removed all other loose bricks along front of house, ground out joints and repointed. Where needed, sured up angle iron with fasteners and repaired all stress cracks.

I contacted JC Masonry for an estimate to repair my chimney flue liner and wash. James responded to my inquiry promptly and met me at my newly purchased home within a few days at my convenience. He was very knowledgeable and professional. Very easy to talk to and explained what was needed. he prepared an estimate on the spot. His estimate was less than what I eventually paid. I decided to use another contractor as he was able to complete the job sooner and provided a 10 year warranty on the CrownSaver wash that was installed.
Description of Work: I did not have James do the work only because his schedule was full and anothyer competitor was able to complete the job sooner which fit my needs.

I used JC Masonry. His actually was the lowest estimate. He had to come over and look at the job. You know how you can look as some one and have confidence and trust in them? He looked and he gave me an estimate but I had already made up my mind before he went up on the roof. He came when he said he was going to come, he did a few extra things and didn't charge me. His work was the kind of thing that you want. My chimney is beautiful. His pricing, he prices plus materials. If you ever needs something done you can actually figure it out because he tells he how much he charges per square foot. He finished on time. When he left at the end of the day there was a scrap of anything anywhere, you wouldn't know that someone was working here at the house. I can't say enough about him. I have never been this happy with anybody. He came the week before Thanksgiving and finished the day before Thanksgiving. I think he charged me $1600, $1200. My chimney was just about to crumble. Having seen photographs of it he was not exaggerating. It is beautiful, it it gorgeous. If I had the money I'd have him re-do the whole house.
Description of Work: He did chimney repair for me. The chimney is brick. It not only needed to be re-pointed but there were cracks going into the flue. There were some bricks falling out so he basically had to go in clean out and seal it and then grout it and do the fine pointing and put a sealing over that.

James was a pleasure to work with. He promptly scheduled us for an estimate when we called. At the time of the estimate he was very prompt, insightful and very easy to talk with about the work we were looking to have done. He promptly sent an estimate that we found fair and we scheduled a time for the work to be started. James started the work on time and and completed the work in the time frame that we had agreed upon. We were very happy with the service James provided and we would certainly work with him in the future as well as recommend him to anyone needing masonry work in the future.
Description of Work: Re-pointing of our stone facade as needed, sealed the entire front facade of the home (all stone) with a sealant.

See above. It went very well. He arrived when he said he would. He set about his task, from setting up scaffolding, grinding out the bad bricks, installing the new bricks and leaving the job site as he originally found it. He took pride in doing his work and provided excellent craftsmanship.
Description of Work: James provided excellent craftsmanship on removing and replacing many (more than a dozen) bricks along a settlement crack. It took him two days to complete the project. Jim arrived as scheduled and even worked on a Saturday to complete the work. The brick tuck pointing matched the original work. Can't say enough good things about his skill with brick work and his evident pride in his craft. He cleaned up after his work and performed in a very professional manner. He even offered to leave the remaining unused sand and mortar mix with me if any future repairs may be needed. Jim's workmanship greatly exceeded the previous brick pointing done by someone else. I will use him again and would highly recommend him to anyone who seeks a job well done.

James came out and examined the chimney. Recommended replacing the bricks on the chimey cap (3 courses) and the cement washing on top. He said the rest of the bricks were still solid and did not need replacing; repointing was sufficient. (Another contractor had recommended replacing *all* of the bricks.) We hired him at the end of that week and he was here the following Monday. Finished the brick work on Tuesday and returned to clean up on Wednesday. Work looks good!

James was very professional from start to finish! He went out of his way to meet with me on a Sunday for the estimate. We were delayed slightly by the weather and by other projects at my home, but other than that, everything went off as planned. James explained in detail the processes he would take in the repair of two brick pillars at the entrance way of my home. He repaired the joints, matched the mortar color, washed down the bricks, and applied sealant to keep water out. His price was much lower than other competitors and the finished product is beautiful.

He came out and gave an estimate. Once I hired him for the job, he returned to get a mortar sample to match the color and I paid $100 deposit on the job. He came back out a few days later at the agreed upon time and performed the work. He was on time, did the work he was requested and agreed to do, did a good job. I would hire him again if I need any masonry work performed.
Description of Work: James pointed 3 cracks in my brick. He applied water proofing sealant on the brick on the above my balcony. He also caulked some of the flashing up no my balcony.
