Anderson Chimneys Fireplaces Masonry

We recently purchased our home and needed to have our chimney repointed before our new roof was installed. We worked with Ron at Anderson Chimneys Fireplaces Masonry to complete the job. Initial communication was great. Ron was very responsive and helpful during the quoting and scheduling process. He was extremely honest, always making sure that we got the best value for our money. Mainly due to these positive qualities, we decided to work with him instead of another contractor that had a slightly lower bid. He came out with another helper and completed the job within a day. They ground out the mortar joints, repointed the chimney, and applied a chimney crown. The chimney looks great and seems to be performing as expected. We would definitely recommend working with Ron and his crew. They seem like true professionals and masters at their craft.

Mr Anderson's team did an great job. they worked quickly and finished the job earlier than expected? I contacted him for an 'emergency appointment and he was able to fit me in between other appointments within two weeks.

Ron came out, took a look over everything, told me I didn't have a problem, and I shouldn't spend money on anything. He was extremely knowledgeable and professional. He spent a lot of time going over everything even though he wasn't going to be compensated for selling me work. I found him to be very trustworthy and will definitely consider him should I have work in the future.

Ron was great to work with - he and his crew were in and out of here in 2 days. I had another company come over to look at the job, but when Ron came by he actually got up onto our roof and realized that the problem was bigger than just repointing the chimney (which our home inspector had already warned us about). The other company did not go into that great of detail, Ron took the time to thoroughly explain what was happening and exactly what needed fixed. His knowledge and friendliness won the job, and his pricing was right in line with the other quote. I highly recommend, he knows his stuff! He and his crew left a clean job site, and worked hard to get in and out in a timely manner.

Ron was excellent and we would certainly work with him again in the future. He was knowledgable, responsive, and friendly. It was a tricky installation because of limited space in the basement, but Ron made sure the job got done right. We had a minor issue that we noticed a few days after the installation, and Ron was there the next day to fix it. We would certainly recommend Anderson Chimney for fireplace installation.

Great experience. Guys were punctual, worked nonstop, informative about the process, surprisingly quiet, and very polite. They left the worksite really clean everyday. It was an unfortunate expense right before the holiday, but it helped to feel confident about the work being performed. They showed me pictures before and after.

Ron is a masonry wizard. I do not use this term falsely. The man knows bricks. Is extremely professional and great to work with. His pricing is fair, his timing is quick, and he seriously gets the job done expeditiously and well. The people who work with him also care greatly about doing a quality job in a quick fashion. He doesn't mess around or tell you one price then charge another. He is an honest person, who does great work and I would use him again, any time I have to do anything with brick ever.

We have a large living room fireplace that had obviously been used to burn actual wood in the past, there was also an upstairs fireplace in the office that looked like it used to have some kind of burner in it. Ideally, we wanted the living room to be wood burning and the upstairs gas. We got a couple of companies to look at this and went with Ron Anderson because he really explained what was going on, there was no sales pressure, and his estimate was reasonable. Sadly, we could not burn anything in the living room that would release heat and or sparks in to the chimney (there was evidence of previous small chimney fires, because the smoke chamber was built in such a way that nothing drafted up properly). Rebuilding the firebox and chimney was too expensive for us, so we went with Ron's suggestion of a ventless system. It looks nice and adds some heat. The little gas stove is a cozy addition to the office as well. Ron knows what he's doing.

They arrived promptly, did their work and cleaned up after they were done. They also provided the brick to fill the openings. The work was very professionall done. Getting in touch was more difficult, I suspect, because this is a small business, one or two man, and the owner does not return phone calls as fast as most people would like. Once we connected, all went smoothly.

Owner of company was professional & courteous enough at the time....but his workers/help was poor. He explained that we could not use our fireplace as it is....improperly vented & unsafe. (We had just bought our home- so that was unexpected & disappointing) Anderson owner gave me a verbal estimate to fix the fireplace & replace the crown on the chimney. Was told that he would send us pictures of the inside of our chimney (which he took at time of inspection) along with a written bid, and recommended replacement products via email. Never heard from him again. Unfortunate, because there are not many fireplace pros in our area; and two years later- we have never had the chance to light up our fireplace.

This was to be a multi-phased job, starting with pointing at ground level, than moving to the chimney inspections, possible repair if required and attenton to restoring flue mechanisms. The quality of the work is excellent, the new mortar perfectly matched the old. I was surprised, however, at the small amount of linear feet of work was completed - but I was not on-site to understand how much old mortar needed to be removed, before the new mortar could be applied - hence my opinion is less than objective. In view of the quality, and apparent knowledge demonstrated by the owner, I attempted to contract for additional work - at least two calls went unanswered. The contractor was clear about my work being fill-in, as he was working on full-house pointing projects - and I accommodated his delay on the first phase, and expressed a willingness to work with Anderson on subsequent phases. Work was paid in a timely manner - I have no explanation for the disappearance following the initial work.

An inspector required a liner be installed in a chimney in order to vent a gas boiler properly (this according to some recent building code changes is supposed to prevent mortar deterioration when a newer furnace is installed and no longer vented in the same stack). Ron came out, inspected the chimney to confirm it was a reasonable procedure, and then forwarded pricing for stainless steel as well as a less expensive liner option. I went with the stainless, he showed up on time and banged it out in a few hours. I've dealt with lots of contractors and Ron is just up there. Solid dude, reasonable pricing, reliable, clearly knows what he's doing in a pretty niche industry.

I had a chimney fire which ruined my masonry fireplace. Other contractors quoted prices to fix with a wood insert. Ron Anderson told me about Ariens fire system which restores your fire place to a nature wood burning fireplace that burns more efficiently, smoke free and kicks out the heat. I was skeptical at first, but now that I am using my fireplace I love it and would only use this type of system. Ron did a great job installing the system. Helped me make compromises to better meet my budget. His team was professional

We are more than happy with Ron's work and his prices were better than others we'd talked to. We now have a lovely working fireplace to enjoy this winter. He is a nice man too which always helps :)

Ron gave me a good quote for rebuilding the top of my chimney and repairing window sills. He was very responsive and came on time to give me a good quote. Unfortunately, I was not able to use his services, because he said he would have to use new brick, which would not match, and another company had some old brick that matched and actually gave me the same price.

He did what he said he was going to do. He and his crew were one of the best I have dealt with. On time, curious, clean up was 100 % done. Ron the owner of the company was on site and working beside his crew. I just can't think of enough good things to say about Ron and his crew. He treated us like he wanted to be treated. I can say after this was done I consider him a friend. He told me what he was going to do and then he did it 110%. WOW. When it comes to my chimney I will use no other company but Anderson. I have already given his card to three of my family members and two of my friends and I hope they use him. You can't go wrong.

This is the second job that Ron Anderson has done for me and he is quite exceptional brick/chimney/fireplace contractor . He communicates promptly, assesses the problem and gives you a clear breakdown of the issue and cost effective ways to solve, and most importantly does the work he says he will do in a timely manner. Ron is also one of the most technologically savvy contractors I've met. I really appreciate the videos he takes and sends while he is on the job, which serve to show the client exactly what the problem is. I highly recommend Ron to anyone looking for an honest contractor who does exceptional work.

Ron and his team did a great job. He went through the status of all my chimneys and made recommendations for immediate work and work that could be postponed. We went through the pros and cons of shortening the chimneys vs. rebuilding them. Ultimately, I decided to save some money by shortening them instead of rebuilding. They did a great job, got it done in a timely manner, cleaned up and worked around the other guys working on my house. We also decided to put in two Victorian style vent-less gas fireplaces. Ron took a lot of time with me to discuss the various options before we decided on the two cast combination mantel and tile insert fireplaces. I had no idea what I wanted beyond a gas fireplace when I started talking with Ron. He was very patient and helped me through the process of deciding what I wanted. I was very happy with their installation, clean up and follow up.

Provider did not return my initial call.

Initially I contacted them for a damper handle fix and chimney cleaning. When they came over they found another handle that actually was the damper handle so that saved me. They cleaned the chimney pretty quickly and vacumed up everything so the fireplace was as clean as it could be.

Ron Anderson and his brother Mo do great masonry work. They are meticulous in job preparation and in end-of-day daily clean up. Ron clearly explained (and showed) all the work that needed to be done, why it should be done one way rather than another, etc. He is interested in doing high-quality work and in pleasing his customer. I would unconditionally recommend Anderson Chimney.

Very informative, clean. On time, on budget and was willing to go above and beyond.

I would highly recommended Anderson Company to do any fireplace install, cleaning, etc. Ron was very professional from start to finish. He followed up with us three times proactively after meeting with him once. He made time to work around our schedule for an evening to draw up a contract. He came on the day we agreed to and the explanation of product choice was detailed. He worked from the moment he arrived until the job was complete. He was extremely cautious about cleaning up after himself and even vacuumed our basement. 5 stars across the board!

Ron was very professional and stopped by the same day we called. He gave us a lot of insight on installing a fireplace and gave us an very reasonable estimate for the service. When we decide to move ahead we will definitely be contacting Anderson Chimney to do the work.

When we were looking for quotes, Ron was the first to call me back and the first to come over. He was very thorough, talked myself and my wife through all the steps and options. As for the work he and his team were quick, repointing an entire three story house in under 1 week. It looks great. He even gave us recommendations on how to deal with other unrelated problems we have been dealing with in the house. Ron is the best.
