Nancy JohnsonNovember 15, 2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. They did a great job helping to make repairs to the chimney in my historic house. I would highly recommend them! craig friedliOctober 30, 2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Our chimney had moisture issues, spalling bricks, old flakey internal damper, and a deteriorating paint-like moisture seal. After watching Utmost rebuild another chimney in our neighborhood and talking to the home owners, who were very satisfied and impressed with the work and workers, we contacted Mark Huffer at Utmost. He came out, inspected the chimney and firebox and gave us a very reasonable estimate based on repairs rather than replacement and recommended sealing the entire chimney. We scheduled the work, his workers came out and in a couple of days repaired the affected bricks and shoulders, removed the old paint seal, tuck-pointed where needed, repaired the flue top and installed a new crown cap with damper that can be activated from inside the firebox. And finally, sealed the chimney against moisture. Even with ordering the custom damper the whole process took three weekdays total. The Utmost team was professional, prompt everyday and always cleaned up afterwards. We are VERY satisfied with Mark and Co.’s work and look forward to using our fireplace a lot more now. Would recommend anyone with chimney issues to strongly consider Utmost Renovations to fix their issues. nick dOctober 1, 2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. They just finished up some spot work on our three story brick 100+year old house. They worked through despite all the rain and bad weather this last week. Looks good. They did the best they could to match the mortar to the hodgepodge of work done over multiple decades. Appreciate their dedication and speed despite mother nature. Annette HaddoxSeptember 27, 2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Highly recommend Utmost Renovations.

Craig KaiserSeptember 18, 2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Utmost Renovations was referred to me by my cousin who works in real estate in central Ohio. This company did a great job for me on two different projects. In a day and age where it is hard to find contractors who are willing to work and take on projects, Utmost Renovations rose to the occasion. They were timely in response to my initial contact of them by phone and went on site to review the project needs. Giving me a timely and thorough assessment of what work needed to be done, how they would do it and an accurate cost analysis. One project was masonry work on a 170 year old historical brick home. The other project was repairing brick chimneys on my father’s home that another contractor had made a mess of years ago and never completed the job properly. Different project scopes of need, but completed within 2 weeks of contacting them and getting the initial estimates. The work was flawless. Completed by workers who were on time and knew what they were doing. They were courteous and respectful of my time and my property. They kept me updated on what they were doing and when. They cleaned up at the end of everyday before leaving and at the end of the projects. You would never know anyone had been there except for the incredible end result. Completing the work, doing exactly what they said they would do. I couldn’t be happier. I would highly recommend Utmost Renovations and will use Mark and his company for any future stone and brick needs I may have. David LockerSeptember 13, 2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. After spending some time researching the Central Ohio area for stucco repair and paint, I reached out to a few different companies and ultimately decided to go with Utmost Renovations, and I'm very happy I chose them. Mark and his team were very quick and easy to communicate with. His team was super professional and worked in a timely manner. His crew was always on time and respected our property while on site. I feel very confident recommending Utmost for anyone who needs stucco work done. Thomas HughesAugust 27, 2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have worked with Mark and his company on multiple occasions for my personal residence. I have never had a contractor that is so customer focused and prompt with updates. Mark was exceptional to work with in getting my estimate quickly. He called me within minutes of my online request and was very fair with pricing and his timetable. The work was completed professionally and well within the time frame specified. He even advised me on a less expensive route in one phase of my job. I have never had a contractor do that! I will use Utmost Renovations again if the need arises and highly recommend them for any masonry or exterior work. Lesley DAugust 19, 2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We highly recommend Utmost Renovations for your masonry work. Our job entailed a complete redo of out front steps (including pouring new concrete base) from the street up to our limestone treads, repair of a walkway at the side of our house, and repair of two sets of back yard steps. We had had these areas repaired in the past by another masonry company and were thoroughly unsatisfied with the work. It was complete slop. The first thing that impressed us was the responsiveness by Mark (the owner) and his son, Van, I don't think we waited more than 12 hours for a response to any of our questions/requests and each time the response was helpful. If we didn't understand something, they were patient and helped us through the explanation. Once we finalized the pricing and scope of work, they were able to get started on the work within a couple of weeks. The crew showed up on time every morning, no excuses. The entire job took about two weeks and the finished product looks great. They also did a great job cleaning up after the job was over. Finding good contractors these days is no easy task. It is astonishing how many contractors don't return phone calls, don't show up for estimates, or don't care about their finished product. We had non of these issues with Utmost. Andrew SheltonAugust 8, 2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Our house was built in 1895, and we needed some bricks replaced and some mortar repaired. Utmost Renovations did an excellent job--we can't even see where the repairs were done. They also took steps to ensure no additional water damage to our masonry. And they did all this in 2-1/2 days for a very fair price. Wouldn't think of calling anyone else for masonry work. Emily BoergerAugust 7, 2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Mark and his team are so wonderful! His son Gabe has done all the brick work on my home. I purchased an 1860 all brick home about 3 years ago. They are honest, fair and extremely professional! I asked Gabe to help with some heavy lifting around my yard. He did so with a smile on his face! Gabe even hung a window box for me and screwed it into the home. Purchased the proper nails himself and never asked for a refund. Truly a family oriented team and I am so happy this company is my company for my home!
