Moore Stone LLC in Stevensville Md. did an excellent job on my chimney. Mr. Moore and his staff readily adapts their skills to the job as it evolves so the customer gets a very well done final repair. Chimney repairs are physically taxing and the quality of the repair is very important for the appearance and durability of the repair. A long-term brick mason and now a senior employee at a retail brick and mortar masonry supply company provided me insights into my job and how he would want the job done if it was his home. Sean followed his recommendations and specifications resulting in an esthetically pleasing and a very likely long lasting repair. I got a number of estimates from local chimney repair companies with vastly different levels of repair ranging from relatively mild simple repairs to a complete chimney tear down which would have been unnecessary and quite expensive. Sean's estimate was the most complete and detailed. Sean completed the job in mid fall 2024.
My job required brick repair where the brick was repairable using similar brick mortar and staining, and brick replacement when the brick had lost strength or significant chipping or holes. Mortar replacement and repointing and chimney crown replacement was required as well. A very good application of siloxane sealant at the end of the job completed the job. Most contractors are not nearly as adaptive and many will cut corners to be a lower the bid for your job and or complete the job in a cheaper weaker manner. . Sean, his foreman Sandro, and his other employees did not. My job was more complicated than most. It required not only excellent repair skills as well as the willingness to adapt and listen to customers desires for the repair and the willingness to sign a relatively detailed contract.
As the work progressed more bricks were found to be needed to be replaced. Sean made me aware of the additional damage needed to be repaired and gave me a significant discount on the additional needed work. The end result was an excellent repair job completed in mid-fall 2024. For an excellent functional long lasting chimney repair, I strongly recommend Moore Stone. I would be very comfortable with him doing other masonry and stone repairs for me. read more
