Estimate was provided by Paul. On the day the work was scheduled, the workers showed up exactly on time, introduced themselves and got to work. The work was done quickly and professionally and I am quite pleased with the results. The cleanup of the work area was very thorough.
Description of Work: Mortar joints on chimney were ground out and repointed. Concrete cap on chimney was repaired. Part of flue liner was replaced. Various cracks, holes, etc on outside of house were repointed and repaired.

Great job from start to finish! Paul was very professional, prompt in providing an estimate and timely in the work schedule. Pointing work was excellent, and the crew was happy to take pictures on a cell phone and email them to me so I could see the finished job on top of the house. I would definitely call Paul again when are ready for more pointing.

The work went extremely well. They showed up on time and finished when expected. He and his crew were extremely polite and very pleasant to work with. The did a great job cleaning up. The mortar matches the rest of our house and everything looks neat. They had some extra mortar leftover and fixed a few other little things, which was a nice surprise. They also noticed a smell of gas around our meter. I couldn't smell anything, but called the gas company and found we had a pretty good leak. I greatly appreciated them letting me know about the leak. They did everything they were supposed to do, and more. We are very happy with the whole experience. I would highly recommend Sabol Masonry and would not hesitate to call them again for any future work I may have. Just all around nice people too!
Description of Work: Our chimney had been leaking for quite some time. We were finally able to figure out the water was coming through the mortar of our 60 year old house. We called several others, but no one returned our calls. Paul came out the next day. He said we needed the mortar ground out and reprinted, 2 new flue liners, a new chimney cap, and the caulk around the flashing repaired. He would also install screens on the flues. We found him to be pleasant and reliable(since he actually showed up when he said he would!) and the estimate fair so we chose him.

From the initial contact for an estimate through the completed project we COULD NOT BE HAPPIER. Mr. Sabol arrived precisely on time for the estimate and precisely on time for the job. He was professional, pleasant and thorough and kept me informed throughout the entire project. He and his crew were extremely polite. They worked very diligently and did a tremendous clean-up. Not only did they work on our house, but they also did a terrific job on my parent's house next door the same day. Mr. Sabol answered every question put to him by my father and me and he very patiently explained everything that was done to our houses. He clearly illustrated and explained the problem areas and discussed the probable causes and the actions he took to correct them. This was possibly the best contractor experience we have ever had.
Description of Work: Repaired numerous cracked mortar joints and bricks. Performed grinding and repointing and caulking.

We have old (130 years old house) with 5 fireplaces and 2chimneys. Chimneys did not have any crowns and, as a consequence,inside wall of the fireplace on 3rd floor was wet after heavy rains or snow. After signing the contract, had to wait for a couple of months for limestone to be cut and then for my turn in Paul's schedule to come.They worked for 3 days, first installing scaffolding and then working a chimney per day. They rebuilt first 4 rows of one chimney ("as it was not straight") and replaced a couple of blown shingles. No extra charges. Chimneys tops look great. Our fireplace wall is now dry. Working with Linda and Paul Sabol was a nice experience. They will be my first choice for any masonry work.
Description of Work: Job description: Install limestone chimney crowns on 2 chimneys in a 3 story house. Strengthen interior flue walls (cement coat) approximately 2 feet down on each chimney. Install 2 1/2 inches limestone chimney crowns (each from a single piece of stone) on both chimneys. They should have 2 1/2 inches overhang. Install 9x13 terracotta liners on chimney top (3 per chimney). Install 9x13 stainless steel rain cups supplied by the customer (3 per chimney) (got them from Home Depot). Rebuild loose dividers. Repoint any open or damaged areas. Apply water repellent to complete job.

Called and spoke with Linda for what I needed done. They came out and viewed the property while I was at work (THANK YOU FOR THAT) and called back in the next day or so with the estimate and we went ahead and scheduled the service then. The day of they met me in the morning to review again what was to be done. I provided them access to water and power and left for the morning while they were able to get everything done. As agreed upon they contacted me when they were almost done so I could review everything before they left and give them the final payment. That is the nicest the area has ever looked!! They did a wonderful job, was very courteous to my neighbor (also on his property to perform the work) and now no more water in the basement!!!!
Description of Work: This was a 1 day job on the house foundation along one side of the house. They did the following: Removed spray foam (it wasn't pretty but effective til I could get this fixed) clean up area cut out all joints repoint everything

Great! Paul came out for estimate day after I called. Quote was in the same ball park as another we were considering and I liked that they would be replacing the brick on the chimney that needed more work and would also paint the new masonry. Linda was very helpful and very pleasant to work with in scheduling. Work went smoothly. They were very professional and courteous and kept us informed along the way. We are extremely happy with the work done and plan on using Sabol Masonry for future projects.
Description of Work: Two chimneys --- one was completely rebuilt to below roof line replaced with new brick, the other got a "face lift." New wash-cup installed, flashing caulked, and painted new masonry on both.

Paul Sabol responded promptly when we called for an estimate. He reviewed the chimney in detail, explained what needed to be done and sent his quote as he indicated he would. Paul was extremely polite and professional. Paul's crew had to tear down the existing chimney and remove the debris. This work was extremely neat. No damage was done to the lawn and no litter remained. The chimney was then rebuilt. Paul's entire crew was professional and worked quite rapidly. The mortar work is excellent and the flashing and capping all look extremely nice. The leaking problems in the attic have been solved. I would recommend Sabol Masonry. I was impressed with all the people involved and the quality of the work.

Sabol Masonry came in to look at my windows in order to provide an estimate. They were incredibly professional and even came in on a Saturday morning since I work during the week. The estimate they gave was reasonably priced and also detailed what I believed to be reasonable solutions to the leaking issues that we had around our windows. Not only did he inspect the problem areas that I pointed out but he went around the whole house to determine where new problems were likely to occur. He suggested that we replace most of the lintels around the house since many of them were rusting and warping due to age. Included in the lintel replacement was the re-mortaring of bricks that had shifted in order to seal against rain. We decided to go with the three worst lintels for now and do the rest later. They came back to do the work and were very clean and professional. I have no complaints and I would recommend their work to a friend.
Description of Work: Replaced three lintels above three of the windows in our brick home. Re-mortared the cracks in the facade due to the shifting of the bricks. Caulked around another window that had separated from the brick.

Call back was the same day. However when I returned their call back and started to explain what I thought was needed I was interupted by Linda saying that they were booked through Thanksgiving. When I asked for an estimate anyway she then said Paul said to say that they were not taking any jobs until Spring. Something just did not sit right with this conversation. It was almost as though availability was based on what I was saying and how I was articulating what they job may entail. If they truly are that busy and unavailable for estimates and/or jobs until Spring, 2012, I would have appreciated her saying that in the initial message that she left rather than having me call back and to 'screan' what I was saying to apparently determine whether my job was worthy of their consideration. What a waste of time.

I sincerely apologize for any misunderstandings that may have happened on our end. That is absolutely not how we want to run our business. I always try to listen to the customer to see if there may be an emergency situation that needs dealt with immediately. That is why I felt it was inappropriate to interrupt you to let you know we were booked at the time. We would absolutely love to come out and bid the job for you if you are still looking to have the work done. Sincerely, Linda Sabol

I decided to go with him because of the discount offered. I was very pleased with the work. They had 3 young men working on it so they got it done in a day. They grounded out the bricks that were breaking and replaced them along with putting a new cap on the top. There was also a lot of missing mortar and they replaced that without any additional charge. They showed up about 15 minutes early. They used masked for the project to protect themselves. Linda came and I gave her the first payment and they honored the discount. They cleaned up well and came back the second day to wash up a coating of dust on the lawn and around the house. They were very friendly and explained how long it would take. I was very pleased. I would recommend them anyone.

Jim was very responsive to our initial inquiry and came out on a Saturday morning to provide the estimate. We were told it would be about 2-3 weeks before they could get to the job but they had an opening and and came out within a week. They completed the job in 2 days. Overall it was a very easy and pleasant home improvement experience and we are satisfied with the quality of the work.
Description of Work: Loose bricks at top of chimney were mortared back in to place. New cap on chimney. Several spalled bricks were replaced. Bricks behind flashing between chimney and house were severely deteriorated. Flashing had come loose and was not seemed to house. Bricks were replaced behind flashing and flashing was resealed (caulked).

The work was absolutely excellent! They matched the old mortar color (faded from the 1920's) perfectly. I was really impressed.
Description of Work: Paul and team repointed the exterior brick on both chimneys of my house from the roofline up. They built scaffolding, diamond-driled out most of the old mortar, and filled with new mortar. A crew of 4 (all Paul's employees) completed the repairs and clean up in only about 6 hours.

This firm was outstanding in their performance. Prior to choosing Sabor Masonry, I had several intereactions with Paul and his team. All of my calls and questions were answered promptly. His bid was mid-range to those that I received - but I felt very comfortable as Paul talked through the project with me, that he understood what needed to get done. On the morning that we had agreed to, Paul and his team arrived earlyand completed the job by the end of the day. The project was actually a bit larger than originally estimated as Paul found more layers of bricks that were cracked than we originally saw from the ground. However, there were no additional charges for removing and replacing these additional layers of bricks. Paul's team was very curtious and worked very professionally in completing the tasks. They also did a few additional tasks for me (all minor) but ones that I appreciated - with no increase in fees. They cleaned up and removed all debris at the end of the day and took steps to protect my deck and plants from damage during the work. I would not hesitate to use Sabor Masonry again for any type of masonary work in the future.
Description of Work: Sabol Masonry removed about 20 layers of brick from a chimney at my home due to water damage / cracking of bricks. Sabol then relaid those 20 layers and repointed the chminey.

It didn't last very long. On the other hand he did do a good job on filling a large crack in the driveway up at the top. I couldn't fault him for that. The mortar could be another problem. I don't remember how much we spent. He completed the work in one day. He was professional. He was a very nice man. I probably would not hire him back because the work we would have to have done is beyond his limitations. If we had to get some other driveway work done, I would probably get a driveway professional to do it.
Description of Work: Paul Sabol Masonry did some masonry work. We had some repair work done with the mortar between the bricks on the front stoop
