Chimney, Brick replacement, Windows Sills

In short, I am extremely satisfied for the work Bill, owner and operator of Chimney Company did for my chimney, window sills and some broken brick replacements on the side of my house.

If you want the long version of my experience, please continue reading:

I found Chimney Company along with 2 other highly rated chimney repair companies through homestars and called all three asking them to come and give me a quote. Bill from the Chimney Company came first, he came within a few days after I contacted him.
Representatives from the other two guys came as well but at a much later date since they were busy taking care of the jobs they already had at hand. This is totally understandable as due to the weather conditions we have here, there is only a short window of opportunity for them to do this type of work and they have to make the most out of it.

Anyway, Bill came and told me what needed to be done and how he was going to do it. Based on the conversation we had and the confidence and level of knowledge I saw in him, my instinct told me instantly he is the right guy for the job I needed done but I still wanted to hear from the other 2 companies before I make my final decision.

Representatives from the other two companies came and they both told me my bricks are not standard size. My house is 40+ years old, Bricks not being standard size is not a big deal, for the chimney as it was a total replacement and would not show but for replacing the bricks on the side of the house, the bricks had to be cut to the right size in order to make it fit.

The price I got from all three companies were quite comparable.
Once I had talked to all three companies, based on my instincts I felt more confident to go with Bill so I called and asked him to come by so we can sign a contract.

When Bill came by, he also brought some bricks to see which one matches the colors of my old bricks. When I told him I was told by the other guys that my bricks are not standard size, he disagreed and showed me the bricks he had brought to compare and lo and behold, the bricks he had brought matched my old bricks almost perfectly.
He told me it will take 2 days to finish the job, gave me an exact date when he was going to start. And everything went pretty much as he had promised.
Now that I have seen the end results of his work, I cannot say enough good things about the quality of his work, Bill is a pro and I am so glad I picked him to do the job for me. He gave me warranty for 10 years for the chimney work he has done. Based on his work ethics and the quality of his work, I am sure I will get at least 10 years but most likely more from the work he has done for me. Could not be happier, thanks Bill for the beautiful job you did on my house!!!!
