When the previous owner had a lower level fireplace installed the company that did the work did not patch around the hole they had to cut in the exterior wall. Scott came out to patch the rather large hole that was around the fireplace exhaust pipe. They showed up on time and preformed all of the work they said they would do. I would use them in the future for any other masonry work.

Description of Work: Company tuck pointed and rebuilt part of our chimney in December of 2013. In April of 2014, we purchased the home from the previous owners. In the summer of 2015, we had roofing repair done and were told that we needed to have our chimney rebuilt completely as the tuck pointing is failing. I called Scott three times before he called me. He set up an appointment with me to look at the work he had and never showed up. I called him to see if he was just running late and didn't hear back from him.

We were very pleased with their workmanship.
Description of Work: Custom Restoration placed a liner in our old chimney. They replaced the cap on top of the chimney, tuckpointed the chimney, as well as did some inside skim coating. They were very professional. They cleaned up after themselves. They were prompt.

I was very dissatisfied with them and I wouldn’t recommend them to anyone even though their work was good. You had to be constantly behind them all the time and there were some workers who didn’t know their job well. I didn’t like the way they negotiated. They go half way through and then they tell you that they need more. The stuff that we had originally agreed on didn’t get done and it was a mess too. Their way of doing business was really bad and my overall experience with them was bad. I would never use their services again and I would go with someone else.
Description of Work: We used the services of Custom Restoration for some masonry work in February of 2008.

Please check out the report listed on Angies List, dated July 02, 2008, where the same customer couldn't say enough GREAT things about our company. Even gave us "A"s in every category, except 1 "B" in price. Just for your information - might want to check out his previous report!

It went very well. There was a time problem as we had just sold the home, so they had to expedite the repair.
Description of Work: Front steps were uneven as some had settled over the years. There were gaps in the brick wall and some of the bricks had separated as well. Custom Restoration tuck-pointed several bricks, and leveled the front steps. There was a large cement top on the wall that had cracked. They patched this crack. There was a piece of cement that had cracked and separated by the first set of steps, which they replaced

Top step is no longer a trip hazard but now the other steps are crooked/uneven as a result of simply building up the top step. Step is bright white and sticks out like a sore thumb compared to the other steps. Caulked all of the cracks/corners which now leaves a pool of water on the bottom landing...unable to drain. Did not caulk the large opening between the brick wall and home and left a large chunk of concrete lying next to where it had fallen off....did not attempt to repair.
Description of Work: Restore large front stoop on home. Step had settled and there were large cracks in the concrete and adjacent walls. Top step had dropped significantly and was a trip hazard. Bricks were falling out and needed tuckpointing. Job was purely cosmetic as he did not address any of the structural issues that caused the step to sink.

I cannot say enough about the job Scott and his crew did on my home. If you are looking for someone you can trust, someone who follows through and someone who will do whatever it takes to get the job done right, he is your guy. Scott went above and beyond my initial job request to solve some venting problems that have plagued my home for years. He is top notch and I recommend him wholeheartedly.
Description of Work: Repaired mortar and some bulging bricks on my chimney. Installed a liner for my water heater and also sealed the outside brick to prevent further erosion. Scott also worked with me to solve a backdrafting problem with my water heater.

I DIDN'T HEAR FROM SCOTT FOR 10 DAYS AND CALLED HIM REGARDING MY ESTIMATE. HE SAID HE MAILED IT AND WAS SURPRISED I DIDN'T GET IT. HE SAID HE MAILED IT TUESDAY (IT WAS NOW THURSDAY). HE SAID IT SHOULD GET TO ME SOON. ANOTHER 10 DAYS PAST, I CALLED HIM AGAIN. HE WAS SURPRISED I DIDN'T GET IT. HE TOLD ME HE WAS STILL INTERESTED IN THE JOB. HE SAID HE'D CHECK THE OFFICE TO SEE WHAT'S GOING ON. IT'S BEEN OVER A WEEK, AND I'VE HEARD NOTHING. THIS IS DEFINITELY A RUN-AROUND.
Description of Work: SCOTT CAME TO LOOK AT MY FIREPLACE FACE TO SEE IF HE COULD CLEAN IT. HE SAID HE'D COME BACK TO TRY A BRICK TO SEE IF SOME STUFF WORKED, AND WILL SEND ME AN ESTIMATE.

SCOTT, THE OWNER, WAS THE ONLY ONE WILLING TO GO ALL OUT TO FIGURE OUT WHY WE HAD WATER COMING IN OUR BASEMENT. FOR HIS EFFORT ALONE HE GETS AN A+. BUT HE ALSO DOES GREAT WORK, ALWAYS RETURNED PHONE CALLS, CLEANED UP AND WAS THERE WHEN HE SAID HE WOULD BE. WHAT MORE CAN YOU ASK FOR?

THE WORK WAS PERFORMED VERY PROFESSIONALLY AND COURTEOUSLY. IT WAS A PLEASURE TO DEAL WITH THE OWNER AND THE WORKER WHO DID THE JOB. TOTAL DURATION OF THE TIME SPENT, 4 DAYS. RECEIVED ESTIMATES FROM TWO OTHER COMPANIES. THIS COMPANIES ESTIMATE WAS THE MOST REASONABLE. THE COMPANY HAS GROWN FROM 3 TO 11 EMPLOYEES WITHIN LAST 3-4 YEARS. IT APPEARS THAT THE OWNER TAKES GOOD CARE OF HIS EMPLOYEES.

Description of Work: SCOPE OF THE REPAIR WORK AND THE ASSOCIATED COSTS WERE THE LOWEST OF ANY OTHER CONTRACTOR. SOME DIFFICULTY TO GET THEM TO QUOTE THE JOB. SEEMS TO BE A SMALL ONE MAN OPERATION SO IT IS TOUGH FOR THEM TO GET TO PLACES TO QUOTE.

Make sure to check out our more recent comments. While just starting in business, 2001, may have seemed to be a "small one man" operation. Now being in business for the past 9 years - things have changed!
