$2,100
Mr. Messina and his crew are true artists, professionals, and craftsmen. The fireplace in our living room was "crafted" in the mid-1970s. It was poorly done, and it was hideous. Mr. Messina and his crew were professional and honest from the very first phone call to the last bit of clean-up after the project. They worked meticulously and it was a true joy to have them update our living room with their gorgeous work! You HAVE to hire them! Their prices are fair. The work is outstanding. We'd love to hire them again for masonry work on the front of our home.

He is extremely unreliable. I thought he did a good job on our chimneys last summer, but now we have found out that he did not even finish the work.
Response from J. F. Messina Masonry Builders
"I appreciate all my customers, but unfortunately this person was mislead by an inexperienced roofer. I tried several times to justify the problem but the customer and accuser will not respond."

They did a great job repairing my chimney. It was damaged in the last heavy snow storm. Huge tree limbs tore off the top of the chimney. They also cleaned away old broken chimney pieces.

Cleaned the chimney and didn't create a mess! Thumbs up on that. Much better than I could have done in a lot less time therefore money well spent!

Joe and Drew from J.F.Messina Masonry Builders did exceptional work building my masonry Fireplace. The job initially consisted of removing the pellet stove and opening up the wall to use the existing Heatilator that the previous owner of our home used brick to cover so that he would be able to use a wood burner. When joe and Drew opened up the wall 13,000 pounds of cracked brick old sewer pipe and block used as fill from other jobs just fell out of my wall and onto the floor not to mention the rusted out completely Heatilator that was in the wall. So not only did they have to rebuild the chimney from the ground up but also rebuild the complete Fireplace. The price was very very reasonable. Beautiful finished product. Thanks joe and Drew. I would most Definitely recommend J.F. Messina Builders.

Initially we had a wood burning stove and wanted a fireplace. He opened the wall and after the inspection he noticed 13 thousand pounds of cracked sewer lines pipe and broken concrete blocks and bricks used as fill. He took everything in stride and was extremely reasonable. We have a beautiful fireplace now. He even helped with rebuilding the chimney and relining everything.

I had an emergency with my woodstove and my usual service guy didn't return my call so I went on internet and I am very happy I did. Joe Messina is very professional and knowledgeable, took his time to check everything and explained a few things I didn't know about. I will definitely work with him from now on!

Very professional matter of fact no nonsense guy. Does not pull any punches. Tells you want you need to do and does it. Does not rush the job. Further more you do not have to stand there and make sure he does his job, you can just tell right from the start hes going to do what is in your best interest. I already told him to come back once a year and clean the chimney and inspect it. I don't care what he charges. Id rather not burn up in my sleep.Thanks JOE your a breath of fresh air in today's society.
