Suffice to say we were lucky the safety switch was working. After being unsuccessful in contacting the individual he recommended, I asked for two estimates. Friends and experts admonished me that low prices could mean cheaper materials that can comprise more than benefit. With Ageless, I got the best of both business worlds in terms of price and quality.
Ageless was better than punctual and Keith and Bob could not have been nicer or more professional. Their price was by far much better than the national average I researched. Further, I was assured stainless steel materials would be used. This pledge was left in writing and also is featured on their website.
Without ever forcing me to make a decision with typical fearmongering or shady sales tactics, I was told they could do everything on the spot, exceeding my expectations. Given the weather was uncharacteristically warm, I confidently accepted the offer.
Keith was very patient answering any questions I had. I am impressed by professionals who do not dismiss our concerns that may seem trivial to them. In the meantime and unbeknownst to me, Bobby began to speak to my mother who is a good judge of character. She was delighted to say the least. Both representatives speak and act like gentlemen who do not take advantage of potentially vulnerable populations. Rather, they enhance your safety profile and desire to promote goodwill.
The work was meticulously neat and we were encouraged to call if any questions should arise with our boiler guy. Further, Keith and Bob did not recommend anything more than others were recommending which confirms their honesty.
I would recommend Ageless with no reservation and am very satisfied with the services rendered. read less

From that first call to the completion of the job, the many 5 star reviews were right on -- so I'm adding one.
Joe and his assistant arrived early and got right to work, quoting me a very fair price for a full sweep. Little did he know that he would find triple the amount of soot than generally encountered.
Not only did they complete the job with no additional cost (I would have understood an upcharge for the amount of work), but Joe suggested we have the burner serviced as the amount of soot indicated to him a potential failing unit.
These guys did a great job, kept a dirty job from messing up the house -- and made a friend with my dog! They also have a loyal customer moving forward. read less

They are consumate professionals. I was in need of a walkway to be built in front of my 94 year old mother's house. This was a logistical nightmare as I live 60 miles away. Communicating with Sherwood either directly or through Cheryl was easy, effective and efficient. I was offered 2 options, pavers or cement and 2 estimates for the job. We opted for the pavers which were slightly more expensive but well worth it in my opinion. Sherwood and his team were prompt, organized and did a wonderful job. I appreciate integrity and would not hesitate to use them again. read less

I knew i needed a liner, and was worried that the damage to my chimney would get worse the longer i waited. I was also nervous about carbon monoxide back drafting down the chimney. I never expected them to be able to even come by on the same day for an estimate. I was super surprised when they made it to my house at 3PM and had the liner in the truck ready to be installed. My wife said the work was done very fast, the employees were extremely nice and very helpful. They left my house with no mess, and very clean. I just would like to thank everyone involved in making this a super easy installation and way faster than i ever imagined. I appreciate the attention to detail, cleanliness, and quality workmanship. I cannot thank you or recommend you all enough.
Thank you for all of your help today. read less

After having some bad experiences (where I was overcharged and underwhelmed by the service), I turned to Yelp and found Ageless.
Sherwood came to my house promptly and was a complete professional - and extremely personable! Their prices were extremely reasonable and the work was done well. Did I also mention they rescued a family of baby birds that took up residence in my chimney?! Ha!
I will absolutely use them again. read less

She scheduled to have someone come out for an estimate a few days after my call. Someone called to confirm the appt a couple of days prior. Charlie and Terry showed up early (could it get any better?!) and my parents felt so comfortable with their ability to complete the work, they had them just take care of it on the spot! Everyone I interacted with on this repair was so pleasant and friendly! Would not hesitate to use them again or to recommend to others. read less

I always recommend to my family and friends when anyone needs work on their chimney. Lucky to have found these guys! read less

I just purchased a house in the Levittown area, and needed some chimney work done before the cold season hits. They arrived exactly on time as scheduled, and made sure to protect my carpets from all the dirt of the cleaning. They showed me a video of my 60 year old chimney in desperate need of a new Liner. Bobby gave me an excellent price , and made any necessary repairs to my chimney bricking. They were quick, clean and courteous. I could not have asked for a better job!! I highly recommend Ageless Chimney. I certainly will only be using these guys for my future cleaning / repair work.
Thank you Bobby and Tom. read less

The crew arrived right on time after calling in advance to confirm their arrival. Once they got here, they scoped out the problem (basically an old roof in need of repair) and declined to charge anything--even for their time. I was prepared to spend several hundred dollars to fix the problem. Having been recently scammed by an earlier chimney con artist who asked my parents to shell out more than 1k for essentially no work, we were surprised and grateful for the honesty of these guys. We will call them again if we have any more problems. read less

Your chimney plays an important role in the comfort and aesthetic appeal of your Islip Manor, NY home, and making sure it’s properly maintained is essential. At Ageless Masonry, we specialize in masonry repair, ensuring that your chimney and other masonry structures remain in excellent condition. Here are the top signs you should contact a masonry contractor for brick chimney repair.
Crumbling Mortar and Bricks
One of the most obvious signs that you need a masonry contractor is crumbling mortar or bricks. Over time, the mortar holding your bricks together can deteriorate, leading to gaps and weakened structures. If you notice loose bricks or deteriorating mortar, it’s essential to seek professional masonry services. Repointing of brickwork, also known as repointing, involves replacing the old mortar with new material to restore the chimney’s integrity.
White Staining (Efflorescence)
Efflorescence is a white, powdery residue that appears on bricks due to water evaporation. While it might seem like a minor aesthetic issue, it indicates excess moisture within the masonry. Moisture can cause significant damage over time, leading to the need for extensive brick repair. If you see efflorescence on your chimney, it’s time to call Ageless Masonry for an inspection and necessary repairs.
Spalling Bricks
Spalling occurs when water enters the brick, causing it to flake, peel, or pop out. This problem is particularly common in areas with freeze-thaw cycles, which can exacerbate the damage. Spalling not only affects the appearance of your chimney but also its structural integrity. Our masonry company in Islip Manor, NY can address spalling issues efficiently, ensuring your chimney remains safe and sturdy.
Chimney Leaks
Water leaks are a clear sign that your chimney needs professional attention. Leaks can occur due to damaged flashing, cracked bricks, or deteriorated mortar joints. Ignoring these issues can lead to more severe damage, including mold growth and structural weakening. Ageless Masonry offers comprehensive masonry repair services to fix leaks and prevent future water damage.
Foul Odors
If you notice unpleasant odors coming from your chimney, it could indicate moisture buildup or debris blockage. These odors can be a sign of more significant issues, such as mold or mildew growth within the chimney structure. Our team in Islip Manor, NY can diagnose the cause of the odor and perform the necessary repairs to ensure your chimney is functioning correctly and safely.
If you recognize any of the above-mentioned signs or need other masonry services, don’t hesitate to contact Ageless Masonry. Our team is dedicated to providing superior-quality masonry repair and maintenance in Islip Manor, NY, and all of Suffolk County.
