I first used Red Robin 5 years ago when I had recently moved into my new (old) home and needed some chimney repairs. We called a few masons to get quotes and quickly realized that they were all going to say the same thing: tear down the old chimney and build a new one to the tune of $5 to $6k. David and the guys from Red Robin came by and were shocked at what we'd heard. After a quick examination, we discovered that all that was needed was a new chimney cap and crown and some tuck pointing above the roof line. We saved so much money that I had the guys do some extra tuck pointing around the house as well. Cut to five years later when I needed some more work done on the chimney. I can't believe that nothing had changed with the other masons I called - tear it down and rebuild. One guy went onto to Google Street view and gave me a quote based on what he could make out from my neighbour's chimney since mine was obscured by a tree - another $5000 quote. Once again, David came in, assessed the actual problem and fixed what needed fixing instead of gouging me for as much as he could get. His crew was quick, polite and cleaned up after themselves. I'd highly recommend Red Robin. The work will get done and you will not feel like a chump.
