## The honest read

In 2026 a reviewer wrote that Rob and his two sons did chimney restoration work that others were afraid to tackle and turned down. In 2024 a reviewer wrote that Bob and his son repaired all the bad brick and mortar on a chimney that was leaking really bad and redid the flashing. In 2024 a reviewer wrote that they had Bob replace the crown on their chimney, replace several bricks and replace some flashing.

In 2024 a reviewer wrote that Bob did a tremendous job replacing their stairs. In 2024 a reviewer wrote that the top of their fireplace needed repair because missing bricks were causing water to leak into the house, and that the work done was excellent. In 2019 a reviewer wrote that he cleaned their exterior chimney, replaced broken bricks, touched up the mortar and sealed an unused flue.

In 2019 a reviewer wrote that Mr. Downey did a thorough job painting the interior of their house. In 2018 a reviewer who had used Bob for years for masonry repairs wrote that he painted many rooms in their house.

In 2024 a reviewer wrote that the final bill was over 60% of the original quote. In 2024 a reviewer with a substantial chimney leak from multiple points wrote that not all of the leaks were resolved. In 2026 a reviewer wrote that they were waiting for them to set a date for the job.
