Felt good about Our fully guaranteed job for the two chimneys Bob did 13 odd years ago for $12k...until the chimney cap blew off in the wind. Now he "doesn't service Cambridge anymore". Boston. Not over the bridge to Cambridge. And now the full guarantee and warranty is now just for the manufacturer of the steel in the liner. Would love to find somebody to fix his work. read more

We just had them out to clean 2 chimneys. They quoted us a price of 375 for and 275 for the second. The technician came and cleaned first and stated it would be 1000 for the second. When asked to go check chimney on roof he could not do he did have a ladder. Real POOR services. read more

Bob is very personable and clear about have my chimney cleaned. Scheduling was easy. The two gentlemen who came to do the work were also very pleasant. They got right to work. Worked quickly and cleanly even while answering questions from a curious client. Highly recommended. read more

He is always available to take care of the problem. Him and his workers were pleasant, efficient and very informative on the work needed and what it took to get the job done. If you want local and honest guy please call Bob. I will always use them. Thank you read more

I would recommend looking elsewhere for your chimney and masonry needs. Bob was difficult to communicate with, dishonest, and all around not a nice person to work with. He took and cashed my checks just fine but left me with no invoice, unfinished work, and no information on the warranty for $4k job that was done. I can't even get a hold of him. I bought my first home and, based on inspection report, needed to re-point my chimney to make sure everything was sealed and no critters were going to come through the top. My mother and I researched a few different masons in the area and decided to go with Bob Wolusky. Bob came over to develop the estimate and he seemed knowledgeable enough and walked me through the materials to use and why. I also needed my front steps secured and he was more than happy to "throw that in for free". His estimate was just a word doc that he hand-wrote the check number of the deposit. I asked him to send me a new one with the stairs included, and he said not to worry about it. He was finishing up another job so we would need to wait a bit to get scheduled. Getting a set time on when he was coming was difficult. I share a driveway with my neighbor and needed a decent heads up to let them know a dumpster would be parked there for a day. Bob and I exchanged a few phone calls basically saying he needed to get the liner in order to do the work on the confirmed day, and it could be later, if didn't come. All in all, scheduling was difficult. If you are flexible on being home and have space in your driveway, you should be fine. The work on the chimney was completed in the time allotted but he told me to either drive the final payment to him (no way) or leave it at my house. I personally felt uncomfortable leaving the check without seeing the work, but he was adamant that I couldn't mail it to him. I was not about to make a trip across town to pay someone so I begrudgingly left the check asking him to note the payment on the word doc estimate he'd been using. He took the check but didn't mark it down or provide an invoice. When I called to ask him why, he said he couldn't find a pen. I have no idea what a chimney is supposed to look like so it would have been nice to have him walk me through what he did. All the mortar was patchy and there was a door that was supposed to get closed off that was replaced... he used my backyard to mix the mortar and got it EVERYWHERE, left trash in my trashcan (which is weird because there was a dumpster), just all around sloppy. Lastly, HE DIDN'T FIX THE STAIRS. When I called him about this he was agitated and made it seem like he was doing me a big favor and he forgot because the job took too long. I told him that we had agreed upon that as part of the price and I had asked him to add it to the paper. He responds with "we're just having a conversation, not talking about the paper". Super rude. He had me almost in tears so I had my mother call and try to talk to him. He said he would try to "stop by and fix the stairs" and finally nailed him down to come within the next two weeks. I was waiting to write this review to see if he would actually come through and fix the stairs / send an invoice and no dice. read more

Do not do business with this Bob - rude, unprofessional and not pleasant. Called him to request a chimney sweep for a building that I managed and mentioned I was referred by one of his biz partners in the area. First word out of his mouth was I take cash or check - told him I do not reside at property but can mail him check once job done. He insisted that I have to be at the property as he wants to be paid once job is done. Suggested driving to drop off check at a later time, he said this has to be done his way and then hanged up. Hanging up on customer is a big No No in any business especially service business. You also have to be a pleasant person with good beside manner - referrals are important. Business like Bob Wolusky deserve to die a natural death. Your dollar is better spent elsewhere. Plenty of options in the surrounding area read more

Bob is a true professional. He is more knowledgeable than any other chimney "guy" I've spoken to, over the years. His team came and fixed our damaged chimney this week. They were professional, skilled, polite and friendly. They did a great job fixing and cleaned up when they were done. A testament to Bob's organization was when I complimented the Team Leader on the quality of their work, he said, "we've learned from the Best". I HIGHLY recommend anyone to use Bob's services. This is one recommendation you can, "take to the bank". read more

I had good luck with this guy, and he's local right in Dorchester. I drive by his house on my way to work. But he is a chimney guy, not a stair guy. read more

Called Bob for a potential job to clean and repair our chimney. He's a straight shooter and gave me a tremendous amount of information. Enough information to know whether a prior quote was accurate or not. Also, the shortcuts other companies may take to bring the cost down or extras added to bring the cost up. This guy knows his stuff and was generous with his info and knowledge, even knowing I'd probably convert to gas and he would not get the business. He's a straight shooter and direct which I liked! read more

Quick and fair service. Did a great job cleaning my chimney and were reasonably priced.

Terrible communication and took forever.... in the end we didn't even get the work done, we moved on to another company.

Bob Wolusky just replaced a chimney for my 1891 Queen Anne Victorian home and did a great job. I was impressed with their ability to tear down and install so quickly at a 42 ft. height. Great price, quality work. read more
