I had my chimney rebuilt. The gentlemen doing my job was Storm and Logan. They arrived 15 min early every day. They were knowledgeable and experienced. They were very polite. I was so happy with their work!! I will definitely call Smalling back if I have any more problems.

Smalling Masonry was recommended to service a gas fireplace. Caleb was very thorough with cleaning and testing to be sure it was running the best it could. I know it is clean now as the eye watering burning smell is gone! I'll recommend as well.

All the guys always showed up on time, were very personable, efficient, knowledgeable, and always cleaned up after the days work was done. Caleb, Thomas, Quint, and Jaylan were all very nice and hard working gentlemen. They completed the work in 5 days and did an excellent job. We highly recommend this company!!

I called Smalling Masonry on Monday, looking to get my chimney swept and inspected for the year. The office staff was polite and friendly, and was able to set me up for that Thursday. They came out to the house on time and did a fantastic job. They laid down blankets because it was raining, as to not track in any dirt, and went right to work. Will certainly use them again in the future.

My chimney was leaking rain into the house around the fireplace. Gary Smalling took care in assessing the problem, even going up into the attic above the fireplace to assess the damage. He and his crew built a new crown for the chimney, replaced bad bricks, filled in mortar and sealed the entire chimney. I had several concerns and he resolved them completely. Gary has a tremendous customer service attitude. I heartily recommend him without reservations. He is a real professional.

Amazing experience. We cannot say enough about this company. Gary, Storm and his team did an excellent job. In a time when finding reliable, experienced repairmen are hard to find, they are a welcome change. From the estimate to the repair of my chimney and clean up, everything was done as expected. They were professional and left the work area neat and clean. They tore down the top 35 courses of the chimney and rebuilt it The fireplace looks great. Thank you for a great job.

Spectacular from start to finish! They were more than accomadating, and their workmanship speaks for itself. It was a pleasure working with Gary & his team. They did a complete chimney rebuild with new crown and new flashing. They also performed a internal inspection of the chimney. There is a reason they are the best they are very knowledgable, and have high quality work to show for it.

Great! They were able to repair the damper instead of replacing it with a much more expensive fix. They did not charge me for the repair in case it isn't a "permanent" fix. I appreciated them working for a less expensive repair.

Excellent Communication actually the best of any contractor I have used in 38 years of home ownership. Proactively communicated timeline and reviewed with me each day the plan for the day, set the expectation, and delivered. The fireplace installed was an upgrade to existing and an upgrade to that quoted by a much more expensive competitor. The crew demonstrated good teamwork, showed respect for my home and worked cleanly and efficiently. Gary Smalling was easy to work with and very clear about what he could and could not do. It was really a pleasure and made an expensive fireplace replacement less stressful.
