Description of Work: My husband and I had Anderson Chimney tear down a chimney for a living room fireplace. They removed over 100 bricks from the roof chimney. They also capped an additional 3 chimney flues. Anderson Chimney also repaired a basement and exterior wall foundation. They removed all the loose mortar and paint and then fixed the erosion on the walls.

Description of Work: Our chimney was falling apart and causing water to leak into the attic bedroom. Mortar was ground out, chimney was re-pointed, straightened and capped with a stone cap.

Description of Work: Had interior water damage around chimney area investigated.

Description of Work: We called for an estimate to fix a built- in gas fireplace. Ron, the owner, promptly returned our call and asked information about the problem. Then he gave us suggestions to try to fix the fireplace on our own. He offered to stop by if it didn't work. His suggestions worked!!!! Our fireplace is functional again - no cost was involved.

Description of Work: Three chimneys repointed, new chimney caps, and all of the masonry on the first floor exterior repointed.

Description of Work: We are very pleased with the service and our end product, a ventless fireplace stove insert into our living room fireplace. Mr. Anderson came to our home twice to thoroughly explain what options we had. We looked at pictures on his iPad and computer to view our choices. He thoroughly explained the process of installation and immediately sent us a contract with prices via e-mail. Within a month we had the ventless fireplace installed , as promised. Mr. Anderson was able to work around our schedule. During installation, pads were placed on our floors and clean up was very thorough. He was very professional and we were very impressed with the service and fireplace.

Description of Work: I called Anderson Chimney's twice to see if they would be able to come out and look at my chimney damper and put a cap on my chimney. My call was not returned either time, ultimately, we found someone else to do the work.

Description of Work: Ron identified my water problem as coming from a chimney that had been blocked by bricks from a fallen divider.He removed the bricks and reestablished the open access for heat and moisture to escape from the chimney, rather than go through the chimney bricks and work its way into the walls of the house.

Description of Work: My Chimneys were in very poor shape. I called Ron on a Monday and he was out Tuesday to look at what work needed to be done. I was impressed that he took digital pictures of what the chimneys looked like and what exactly needed to be done. I showed him where some water had gotten into the house from the snow storm of Feb 2010 and where the heavy rains this spring had come in. He explained in detail what the problem was and let me know there was a solution. He emailed me an estimate on Wednesday and after having others come out who did not even go onto the roof, I accepted his bid. He started work on Monday and explained every step of the way what was happening and what needed to be repaired. He is very knowledgable in what he does, very personable to deal with and a joy to work with. His men were also equally personable. I may have him do other work futher down the road.

Description of Work: I had two fireplaces that did not work properly...the owner and his workers switched one fire place inlet for me so I had a working fireplace in the bedroom and fixed living room fireplace by replacing a broken part. It was cold and I needed heat---Anderson showed up quick and did the work just as fast. I would use them again. Shadyside, PA

Description of Work: Ron Anderson of Anderson Chimney Restoration has now completed two large jobs at our residence of 408 S Pacific Ave. Both contracts were completed on time and at budget, and very much to our satisfaction. The first contract (January 2010) involved preparing two first floor fireboxes for ventfree cast iron stoves. The fireboxes were parged and sealed off from the old brick flue. New brass floor key valves and flexible gas lines were run from the basement up through the firebox floor to service the new stoves. The new stoves (Napolean brand) were installed with remote controls and work well. Approx cost for this contract was $4200 The second contract (July 2010) included both interior and exterior tasks. A large roof scaffold was installed to prevent breaking or disrupting the slate roof. Two second floor bedroom fireboxes were sealed from their flues and parged to minimize air draft into the living spaces. On this same central chimney, a large diameter boiler/water heater flue double-wall liner was installed from the basement up through the chimney cap, a distance of over 40 feet. The chimney mortar joints above the roof line were ground out and re-mortared to match the house’s existing red masonry mortar. Flues not in use were capped with ceramic tile allowing for a small breathable air gap. The original decorative chimney pots were pulled out of the garden, cleaned, and installed on top of the chimney capstone. Finally, the entire exterior portion was waterproofed to deter masonry and mortar degradation. Approximate cost for this contract was about $5000 On both occasions, Ron and his crew (mainly Nick and Jose) kept the dust exposure to a minimum inside the house and then did a thorough clean up at the end of every work day. This was a concern of ours because we have an infant. They were consistent with their work hours and cleaned up at the end of each day (even outside the house). They were some of the harder working contractors I have had work on this house. Ron was also very open to defining the contract and making us comfortable with his recommendations, answering any questions and concerns we had professionally. I would recommend Anderson Chimney for any of the above referenced chimney and fireplace jobs.

Description of Work: Ron pointed the entire exterior of our home. Additionally, he repaired and capped 2 chimneys and removed the paint from the front facade of our home.

Description of Work: Converted our decorative fireplace into an Ahrens log-burning system.

Description of Work: Overall check of the fireplace, finding and turning on the gas line, cleaning the fireplace and showing me how to work it.

Description of Work: Ron re-pointed a couple of walls on my house and hooked up a new woodstove.
