Incredible Chimney Restoration Work I couldn't be happier with the work performed by Rob and his two sons! They did what others were afraid to tackle and turned down. From the initial inspection to the completed restoration, they were professional, knowledgeable, and meticulous in every aspect of the job. The craftsmanship was exceptional, and it was clear that they take great pride in their work. They explained the repairs thoroughly, showed up when promised, kept the work area clean, and completed the project on schedule. The finished chimney looks fantastic and gives me confidence that it will stand up to Cape Cod's harsh weather for years to come. It's easy to see that the Downey family has built a reputation based on honesty, quality workmanship, and outstanding customer service. If you're looking for chimney repair, masonry restoration, or chimney rebuilding on Cape Cod, I would highly recommend Rob and his sons without hesitation. Thank you for a job well done!
The brothers seemed quite knowledgeable. I am waiting for them to set a date for the job.
They got back to me right away with an estimate. The work was done quickly and looks great. Would definitely use them again.
Very happy with whole service and workmen.
I can’t say enough good about Bob Downey and his sons. Their price was very fair and they were very pleasant to deal with. I would heartily recommend them.
