Bad. I called shortly after they finished their work because my wall was still wet. They came out and "fixed" it, what they didn't fix the first time. Then with the rains this winter, not only were the walls very wet again but the damage spread to the ceiling and 2 adjacent walls. I called Leo directly and told him of my problem, and he said he would be right out to take a look and then call me back, which he never did. I had to call him several times just to remind him to check my roof, which he finally did about 2 weeks later. He said the work was substandard and he would have a crew out the next week. Robin Scott then took over. Although they promised they would start my repairs in Mid February (at the latest), no one called or gave me an update on what was going on, so I called Robin. I finally got hold of Robin 3/9 and was told they would be out yesterday. No one came at the time I was told. Called R and L, neither phoned me back. Crew came out unprepared-Leo & I stopped project.
Description of Work: There was damage to the furnace chimney in January of 2006, and water seeped into the walls of my house. They "repaired" the chimney.

They were extremely slow to respond to my calls, came to provide an assessment and bid two weeks after my call. Provided the bid three weeks later, and after I accepted the offer, it took another three weeks to schedule the work. I don't know how to judge the quality of the work done, I just have to trust that the chimney will now function properly and will last for a long time.
Description of Work: Partition wall between two flues had collapsed. L Plunkett installed a stainless steel liner in the furnace flue. The more expensive alternative would have been to tear down and rebuild much of the chimney.

This is nice and most likely capable guy; however, he was quoting a highly inflated price for work that did not need to be done ie. a full rebuild.
Description of Work: No work performed. Asked for quote on crown and cap, partial rebuild.

We will not hire him.
Description of Work: I made contact with them over the phone, leaving a message. He called back a few days later and told us he might stop by to give an estimate that evening. He didn't, and he hasn't called back.

I had called Leo Plunkett, I cant remember where I got the name from. Robin returned my call a couple days later and asked if I still needed an estimate. I said I did, and he came out that day to look at it. The estimate he gave me was very detailed, unlike the one I got from Basic Shelter, and he called me back that day. His estimate was $400 less than Basic Shelter, who could not commit to a fix date. I decided to go with Leo Plunkett, and they started working on my chimney THE NEXT DAY. They were finished 2 days later, and they did a great job. They were very professional, reliable and the best contractors I have had. I will use them again and recommend them to anyone who needs chimney or general contract work.
Description of Work: With all the wind and rain, my furnace chimney was falling apart, and everyone was so busy, it was really hard to get anyone to come and give me an estimate. The walls in my house had significant water damage. I had gotten Basic Shelter's info from Angie's list and called them. They were difficult to reach and didn't return several phone calls. They also couldn't give me a date for my chimney repair, and gave no details on their written estimate.
