Update to this is I just had my fp flue and furnace flue scoped by camera and a drone put on top of…read morethe fp. They (Naperville Fireplace) said the tuckpointing looks good but what I need is a liner for the inside of the flue coming from my furnace and water heater (they are the third people to tell me that). When I asked if they thought the previous leaks in my basement were due to any type of mortar failure on the outside (I already had the bottom of the mortar fixed by ANT Masonry for a minimal cost), they said no--it's probably because you have some failure inside the flue for the furnace and that dampness is coming into the basement. Interesting. I've actually had no dampness in basement since the bottom of the mortar was repaired and the lower brick was tuckpointed. So, on to the chimney liner.....

Tried this business the other day and had a great experience. I saw a mason working on the chimney…read moreon the house across the street from mine. I felt my chimney needed a review because it had been over 20 years since the exterior had been looked at, so I walked over and talked to him. When he finished that job he came over, got out his ladder, and looked at my chimney which tops out at 2 1/2 stories. He figured out what it needed (1. cut-out and R&R one broken brick, 2. complete cleaning with a power wash, and 3. R&R the old flaunching on top), gave me a very reasonable estimate, and came back two days later to do the job. I could not be happier. He performed what he promised in a timely fashion, and cleaned up the site after he was done. He even looked at a little vertical crack I had under a bay window, and dug it out and replaced the mortar in the joint ... and he did not charge extra for that. So I have nothing but good things to say about this fellow. I have worked with four other masonry outfits (3 for estimates and one for a small job), and Steve at Masterly Masonry is far and away the best. His prices are reasonable and he won't nickel and dime you to death. He does quality work ... 'nuff said.

They went above and beyond. The brick I needed was no longer made. This company located 3 different bricks and mixed them to create something that would closely match my home. They also had the best price. They were prompt, clean, and did a beautiful job. I can't say enough good things about them. I just wish I had called them sooner...

Larry from Pappas Contracting came to my house to provide me an estimate on replacing a deck. I…read moreoriginally wanted composite but Larry convinced me that he preferred a Cedar treated wood that he assured me was better quality than the composite. He indicated to me that he has installed a lot of decks and convinced me that he would be a great company to hire. He also was able to start immediately. The day he started he showed up late and took a long lunch. The next day, he showed up and 1/2 later indicated he was going to breakfast. He came back 1 hour later and worked for an hour, then indicated he was going to lunch. He worked a total of an hour and by 1 pm, I texted him to ask if he was coming back? He finally showed back up at 2pm. Then left by 4. He completed the boards and asked me what I thought. He was going to leave a 6 in gap from the end of the deck to my fence. I told him that was not acceptable because someone could fall through that gap and get hurt. So I asked him to put in a railing. He then added he had to charge me extra for that and I said fine because I could not leave that gap open. The railing is 13 feet long. He put two 4x4 posts on the ends, but nothing in the middle to support the 13 feet. I didn't know what was compliment because I'm not a person who builds decks. We had a friend come over and let us know that was not compliant, so I called Larry to ask him to come and add the post to make the deck compliant. He proceeded to tell me that he didn't want to sound mean, but the whole deck was not compliant? I paid him to put in a deck and he was the professional so I wondered why he said that? I had additional wood and a full post left over that he did not use that I paid for in my yard, so I asked him to come back and install the post that should have been put in in the first place. He told me I had to wait two weeks until he was available. I said ok. On that day he was supposed to come, I texted and asked what time he would be coming. He gave me a bunch of run around and never showed up. This company is not reliable. They lie and do shady work that is not compliment and will not pass an inspection. I would not recommend this company to anyone. He also spoke to me as if he was doing me a favor. He kept coming up with reasons why I owed more money and even said I owed $100 extra for coming to put in the post he should have put in when he was here. I also asked him to replace two of the boards that have a glue like substance on top that is very sticky and cannot be removed, he told me to go tell Menards to replace them and see what they say? He hand picked the wood himself and I have no receipt from the store. Plus the boards are already installed?? The pictures show the railing with no support in the middle and the large gap he was going to leave open if I didn't pay extra for the railing that I had to tell him to put in so no one would get hurt falling in that hole. I found Larry to be rude and arrogant and very unprofessional. Hire him at your own risk.

I have mixed feelings about my experience. The job got done and only time will tell of the actual…read morequality and longevity but I'm left with a bit of hesitancy to recommend this company for the following reasons: 1. The initial estimate was done over the phone, and I was surprised that an in-person inspection and full, written estimate wasn't provided upfront detailing the material and labor costs. The cost seemed high at over $87 per linear foot of wood fascia board replacement, but, on short notice, I figured it's worth the promptness and commitment to get the job done by noon of the following day. 2. The job was promised to start at 8:30am, but the workers didn't get there until 1:30pm due to not having the ladder to reach the roof. Also, even with this unforeseen delay and no signed contract, I was asked to provide 50% deposit via Zelle upfront. Fine, things happen, and again the promised availability and full inspection and before-and-after pictures swayed my decision to keep the appointment intact. 3. During the job, I was told that the initial estimate was off by more than 30% and now, the replacement of the damaged fascia boards was going to cost me $143 per foot due to additional materials and carpentry required to mount the boards, soffits and gutters back into place. The materials as I understood were two 8' wood boards and 2 small wood blocks to secure the installation. 4. The job site was not left clean; my wife had to pick up plastic water bottles, nails and a used surgical mask. This is unacceptable. 5. I was never given the proper inspection of the chimney's roof transition with pictures as promised, and the rest of the experience was a mixed bag of suggested repairs and improvements that, frankly, lacked credibility or prior customer referrals. 6. I asked for additional estimates on minor improvements with existing gutter installation but instead was given a full house replacement quotes which were way beyond any reasonable cost.
