Red Robin Masonry

Our chimney, which was not in use, had holes in it, some of which were between two rooflines. We were worried about stability and leaking. We also wanted to repair/replace some loose parging over the brick at the side of our double-brick house.

We talked to about a half dozen masonry companies, with widely varying prices and widely varying ideas of what to do. Some were also hard to reach for an estimate.

Red Robin was quick to provide an estimate and the guy who came seemed quite knowledgeable. We thought their solution sounded reasonable and was reasonably priced. The scheduling happened quickly and easily, the job was done and cleaned up within the proposed time frame, and it all looks good so far.

Many other companies wanted to simply plug the holes in the chimney with cement, which didn't sound like a very good solution. Two companies, including Red Robin, said that was a poor and temporary fix. Both suggested taking down the chimney then partially rebuilding it prior to capping. However, Red Robin offered a more complete solution to the chimney issue and a less drastic/expensive solution for the parging for a more reasonable price.
