Bob returned my call immediately. I explained my chimney cap blew off in the storm. He had a guy out same day to assess what was needed, and back the next day to repair. Brandon was personable, knowledgable and efficient. Great experience. Thank you!

My block chimney needed repairs. Bob lathed the chimney and brought it back to top condition. He and his worker arrived on time and left my property in perfect condition. He solved my "leaking" chimney problem. His work is excellent and he is a pleasure to do business with. A rarity these days as he was honest about what was needed and excellent craftsmanship. Cost for work was priced well compared to other mason's quote.

Our fireplace was pulling away from our house. We found Bob Cowan through a google search. He had good reviews, so we got in touch. I traded texts and sent pictures of the issue. Bob basically knew what was happening, explained it to me and said he could fix it. He came over a few days later to verify his thoughts and proposed a price. There was a lot of work involved: underpinning, cutting, repointing and reducing the height by about four feet, as it was top heavy. He and his crew did a beautiful job of restoring our fireplace! They also cleaned up the area before they left, there was no mess left behind! I would highly recommend Bob and his crew! Thank you again for a beautiful job!

Bob Cowan made arrangements to come to my house to repair my chimney as it was leaking around the perimeter into my attic and finally through my ceiling light in the kitchen. The day he was supposed to come, it rained, but he stayed in contact with me and rescheduled and came out and did a terrific job. He also patched up a damaged screen door at the back door without my asking and obviously did it just to be kind and helpful. He repaired a huge crack on my front porch and some concrete that had fallen off the steps.. The price was more than fair and I am very pleased. I can't thank him enough for taking care of my chimney and porch and I highly recommend him and his services.

Cowan's Masonry did a great job resurfacing my chimney. Key differentiators were that they were communicative/responsive to calls and texts, didn't charge for an estimate on the job, and they could also check the foundation of my house and do some restorative work on my steps.

Great to work with. Quick work and great attention to details. Uses old work techniques and materials that will outlast newer quicker ways. I'll recommend to all my friends and family for when they need their chimney repaired. Thanks again for the great work.

I usually don't really understand why people leave poor reviews and low ratings over preliminary interactions or inability to use a service, but here I am anyway, about to leave a review and low rating for a service that was never performed. This company advertises that they do foundation work, but when I asked for an estimate to fix a cracked foundation, I was ultimately told that they can't help me because it's not the kind of concrete they deal with. Ok, fine, it is what it is. I asked if he knew of a company that could help because I'm having a hard time finding someone (this was my third attempt at contacting a company that says they do foundation repair only to be told they were unable to do my foundation repair, because it's not really what they do). Anyway, we had a few more exchanges, the screenshots are below. To be clear, the low rating is based entirely on the completely disrespectful interaction I had with him, not because he was unable to perform the necessary work, or because he couldn't recommend someone.

Bob & Eugene did a great job today. I was quoted the top and low end of the range for installing a chimney liner, cap and other things. Bob is super honest, did the liner for the minimum quoted, told me I didn't need the $500 of flashing my home inspector said I did. He suggested doing a coating on my cinderblock stack because it was clearly not finished correctly. All in all, Cowans was easier to work with, cheaper and more in tune with a homeowner's needs than Davis Brothers. Call Bob!

Great Job, Fair pricing, very knowledgeable. Bob repaired/repointing some weak spots on the chimney as well as replaced my chimney cap (The old one was collecting water) and sealed the entire chimney. The best part is the fireplace which I thought was unusable...Bob advised I could indeed have a gas insert put in when I am ready. ?

Bob came out yesterday to repoint my chimney. I had three companies give me quotes and they were all ranged from $1,000-$3,000. Bob asked for multiple pictures of my chimney, I told him what the others quoted me and he came back with a fair and no b.s quote. He came early, finished fast, and walked me through the work he did. Time will tell regarding the longevity of his work but I am so pleased. He also fixed my crown and waterproofed. He has a five year warranty and said I can always give him a call to come out and look at any problems I may have...long story short at least give him a call or text and he'll be upfront and honest and that's the kind of people you should want to work on your home.
