Get matched with top brick or stone fireplace installers in Seattle, WA

"Emerald City Chimney did a great job on rebuilding my brick firebox ( (tear out old firebrick box, then re-build with new firebrick) in my fireplace and in removing old grout & some damaged bricks on the outside of my 80 year old chimney, then they replaced all the old grout and acid washed it all. The job took 4 people two days. After I first called within a week an estimator came out and looked at my chimney, explained what needed to be done & presented a bid. I had a couple others bid as well. I accepted this bid. Once I accepted the bid it took about another month to find a spot in their schedule for the work to be done. They arrived promptly on the scheduled date and got right to work. They were all polite and professional. One mason worked inside the house to re-build the firebox, the others outside. They set up scaffolding & Shielded it with tarps. Removing grout with grinders is very dusty/messy work, so be prepared. They cleaned up well at the end of the job."

"Excellent! They explained why I could not get grass to grow well in my backyard: once they excavated, the soil contained lots of compact clay and rock, causing seeds to drown from watering. Once we locked in a date, they knocked it out relatively quickly, and gave me instructions on how to maintain the artificial grass going forward. The cost was very reasonable in comparison to the quotes I received from other contractors, and they did not charge me for leftover artificial grass, which they could have done. I recommend J&R Rockscapes without reservation!"

"We got a quote to get our chimneys swept before the winter set in. When service was preformed, it was actually the owner who came out. Nathan was on-time, called an hour before arrival, and made sure to only recommend what we needed (even after I pushed a little to just clean them all since he was already out). He even sealed up the top of one of our chimney's which had a damper that would not close and was letting our heated air out for free! Great guy, down to earth, honest and friendly. What more could you ask for? I highly recommend A Clean Chimney for your next service!"

"Perfect! Very professional estimator & project manager and the work crew was fantastic. Worked 7 days straight, very punctual and extremely tidy. They consulted with me whenever they had a question or to clarify something to make sure it was exactly how I wanted it. Very high quality- I plan to hire them again in the future to do front yard project with pathways & terracing."

"We have a new construction home that we "finished" in July of last year.  We had numerous problems during the build, so to save some money on overrunning budgets my husband and I decided to install the stone veneer ourselves both inside and outside the house.  This included all the exterior wainscoting, four columns on the porch, and two floor-to-ceiling interior fireplaces.  We started off well, but after finishing over half the work we (quite frankly) ran out of steam!  With four large exterior columns and a very tall fireplace (15 feet) remaining, we called Jake at Stern's Masonry in January based on the excellent recommendations here on Angie's List.

Jake called back very quickly and came out to provide a quote within a few days.  He was very professional, recognized how much work we had already done, and was conscientious to the fact that the new work needed to blend with the old (ours...not so professional!) as much as possible.  We received his quote back with 24 hours, and while we felt the quoted price was reasonable, we unfortunately couldn't afford to get started until we'd saved up for a bit.  Jake was very understanding and said "give me a call when you're ready".  So in mid-March, we were happy to call him back for the job.  Although the company was working other jobs, they fit us in and his installer (Tony) got started a couple of weeks later.

Over the course of about two weeks, Tony and Jake smoothed the basecoats we had started, installed the veneer on four outside columns, put on stone caps to the top of the columns, demo'd our "half job" on the 15-foot tall interior fireplace, and reinstalled the veneer and hearthstones on the fireplace.  They had the skills (and scaffolding!) to get it done well.  Throughout the work, both Tony and Jake were respectful to our house and cleaned up after each day of work to limit the impact.  Jake also made sure that the work we had already done looked good before he was finished.  He cleaned the exterior veneer we had already installed to make sure the colors matched up, did some professional patching around cutouts like the hose bib and exterior outlets that we weren't that skilled to do, "straightened" a few of our more problem stones, touched up the paint on our firebox when it was needed, and even used a little leftover mortar to patch some holes he noticed in our driveway (the result of one of our many "problems" during build).

So here's our recommendation:  call Stern's.  And if you need to save up the money first, do it!  Worth. Every. Penny.

"We hired All About Masonry to tuck point 2 sides of our 1928 brick Tudor house and rebuild the chimney. We are very pleased with the quality of the work and the professionalism of the company. Larry (the owner) is a very good communicator, both in person and over email. His crew is friendly and respectful. They showed up and did the work when they said they would; they cleaned up well afterwards. We found the cost to be very fair, given the work. I have no hesitation recommending them, and we will hire All About Masonry again to tuck point the other 2 sides."

"Our initial call was answered the same day and soon after we had the visit and estimate.  They arrived and got right to work today.  They worked steadily and explained everything to us.  They cleaned up the area and in the walk through at the end, found that the builder 38 years ago failed to connect one of the cold air returns.  We are scheduling with Phoenix to come out at a later date to correct the  38 year old error. We are delighted.  Besides being extremely professional both men were also pleasant and personable.  We have absolutely no reservations in recommending Phoenix."

"The rep showed up a little late but it only took him a little over an hour to get the work done. I only called them because it was a new house. He basically scrubbed out the upper flu of both fire places and vacuumed them out. I don't know if it was worth 200 bucks but I don't have any complaints."

"I received a same-afternoon reply to my first contact with Sound Tile and Grout, and communication was always clear. Although they were booked out a few weeks, the regrouting job was professionally completed, and the technician went above and beyond by also touching up the grout on the backsplash so it all looks consistent and new. Tim was very neat, tidy, efficient and clearly knew what he was doing. Would recommend to anyone needing grout work."

"Sand Masonry build a raised garden for us with stone facade, with a round patio in the center, and a separate patio for dining with stairs to the back door. It all turned out beautifully. Our back yard looks incredible now. I highly recommend them."
