I got to see my new gutters in action later that evening when we were hit by a severe thunderstorm. The gutters did their job flawlessly. I am very happy with the final product. I would recommend Ultimate Gutter for your next gutters project. Thank you!

One quoted an outrageous price, two quoted half the figure, and two promised to come out for a quote and never showed up. All had a number of poor reviews of their work on line. I held off getting the work done. This spring I contacted Pro Coat. Dave Marion quoted a fair price for the job, and warned me that he couldn't guarantee the old botched finish could be completely removed. He said his crew would test a small area and only if they could satisfactorily clean it, would they do my entire deck. His men arrived within the time frame Dave had estimated, the test cleaning worked perfectly, and within the day my deck was stripped, brightened and looking like new. A few days later Pro Coat was back and the deck was stained in an afternoon. Great care was taken to cover the side of the house next to the deck so no over-spray could get on the siding or brickwork. The yard was left immaculately clean. Alfredo did a great job of evenly and thoroughly applying the new stain to the inside and outside of the deck, despite the surrounding hedge making it difficult. My deck now looks like new, and the results were far better than I thought could possibly be achieved. Any future work I need will be done by Pro Coat, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend their services to anyone.

I had a gas fireplace I inherited from the previous owner. He disclosed it didn't work. What he didn't disclose was that it would never work because it was a propane unit installed in a gas system. Chimney Monkey came to the rescue. They discovered the error, helped me find the right replacement unit and get it installed. That was another undertaking. We had to remove the granite facing on the old unit, reroute the chimney to bring the elevation up to code and punch through the brick exterior wall. They also had to source the proper venting cap. Even that was the wrong one originally. Chimney Monkey met with every puzzle and setback with dedication and resolve. They stuck with this job cheerfully and politely. They did everything they could to work with my carpenter and tenant. They were always courteous, clean and caring. This may have been one of the most complex and bizarre installations they ever had to fix...and they did it! We finally have a beautiful working fireplace. read more

Art from Chimney Monkey was great! He was responsive over the phone, followed up with text messages about the appointment, and was on time for the cleaning I scheduled. When we were buying our house, the home inspector recommended to get the chimney cleaned. Art came over, took a good look at the chimney. After thinking about it for a moment, he let me know that he would not get the chimney cleaned at this time. He said it actually looked good and would be fine for weekly fires over the fall/winter season. He said he would get it serviced after the season. He showed me some tips with operating the fireplace, checked the gas starter, and took a look at its structure from the outside. He told me what he'd recommend for the spring and its approximate cost. Then he left me his card and said to call him in the spring. Art was knowledge, helpful, and honest. read more

The price they quoted me was around $3,000, and I've included some pictures below. What concerns me most is the lack of trust I now have in their recommendations. I previously hired this company to do tuckpointing work for me. About three years later, I contacted them about touching up a few areas, and I was told the work was already in bad shape. When I reminded them that they were the ones who had performed the original work, the response was essentially, "Oh, we can just repair these couple of bricks. It's not a big deal." After that experience, and now being presented with what I believe is an unnecessarily expensive repair, I simply don't feel comfortable doing business with this company anymore. When you hire a company and spend good money on their work, you expect fair pricing, honest recommendations, and quality workmanship. Unfortunately, that's not the experience I had.
