It's so refreshing to have anyone be as responsive and professional as these guys...Nick and Ivan of Obelisk Chimney. We don't own a chimney, but needed a paver walkway re-sanded and re-sealed. I figured if they can work on a chimney, they can work on the ground. And work they did! They always kept in touch, talked to me, and kept me part of the process. Even after days of excessive rain, they returned to do some touch-up. If anyone needs this kind of work done, your search is over. Hire them.

I selected Nick to work on my chimney repair because he spoke of doing a quality job but also because he was the only one to identify the root of the problem. Nick explained and showed me how there were cracks and holes in the chimney crown and how water infiltration was causing the brick to spall out. I was so impressed with Nick for his attention to detail, his meticulous nature, his commitment to doing the job right and his desire to make sure i was satisfied with the work. Nick is a true professional and very responsive to all communication. When coming onsite, he lets you know when he is on his way, gives you an ETA and arrives on time, unlike so many other "so called" professionals. I was so impressed with Nick and cant recommend him enough. I will not hesitate to call on him again and will recommend him to friends and family as well.

I am extremely happy with the work performed by Nick and Ivan. They repointed the chimney from roof line up and crown rebuild with new cover installed. Nick also cleaned the flue and waterproofed the chimney.
Nick was extremely professional with a friendly pleasant demeanor. He explained all the work to be completed and answered any questions and concerns I had.
Will definitely recommend his services and will call them again for any issues in the future.

I recently hired Nick through this company to clean my chimney after we just moved to Nesconset and I couldn’t be happier with the service. He was professional, punctual, and took the time to explain the entire process. The technician was friendly, knowledgeable, and left the area spotless when the job was finished.
I appreciated his attention to detail and commitment to safety. It’s clear they take pride in their work and care about their customers. The chimney is now clean and functioning properly,

Nick was extremely knowledgeable in repairing my firebox inside fireplace. He did an awesome job and left my fireplace looking like new. He was very neat, professional and left everything cleaned. I would hire him again and recommend him. Very professional.
