Get matched with top brick or stone fireplace repairers in Blaine, MN

"Our gas fireplace insert was not working consistently. The technicians came and took measurements and gave options for returning to an open wood burning fire or a wood burning insert. They removed the gas insert and from their information, I know I need a wood burning fireplace insert. They also cleaned the fireplace and flue system. Excellent work! I will re-hire them to repair the brickwork, crown and flashing."

"Overall experience was very positive. Older Majestic fireplace had be giving us intermittent problem past 2 years. Prior repair service (last year) could not identify the problem. Anderson predicted over the phone that the problem was likely the thermopile ... house call verified and replaced it. We've been in this house for 4 years and this is the best the fireplace has worked. Scheduling and phone contact top-notch. Service techs on time, knowledgable and courteous. Will use again as needed."

"Rob Krajewski did an outstanding job on the brick repair/replace and tuck pointing. His calendar was full but he squeezed me in to get the job done. Would definitely hire him again."

"The roofing process went quite well with Craftsman, from initial bid to job completion. The sales rep was new, but friendly, open, and honest and actually went on the old/existing roof to check it out to get the bid right, and the quoted price was what we paid in the end. He also gave us some local houses they had recently done in the colors we were considering to see how they looked on a roof of similar style. They worked around our schedule toward the end of the year, and were able to get the roof replaced during the early cold blast where the temps dropped toward 0 degrees. After the first snows and heavy rains the roof seems to be keeping our attic dry which we are thankful for heading into winter. After going up near the roof to hang Christmas lights, the work seems to be decent quality. The only thing I would suggest is for a bit more communication either beforehand or from the team lead on the plan for flashing and an explanation on why they chose to go with overlapping shingles instead of a metal valley where I had inquired with the sales rep."

"Adam came out and gave us a bid and offered options and suggestions. He completed the work in several phases as was the nature of the project. We were thrilled he hand picked the stones to replicate our original concept. He followed up and was always on time and did everything needed to make us happy with the work. <br />"

"The work done met all my expectations, which are always on the high side. I found the owner, Terry Holter, very good to do business with. He knows everything there is to know about masonry work, he is smart, pleasant, hard working, fair and honest. I will use him in the future for all the custom brick and stone work that we need to have done."

"Walter and Justin did an excellent job first of all of protecting our roof and lawn with padding during the entire procedure Pieces of the brick had been flaking off due to moisture. Our chimney is made of the soft pink brick that I have heard referred to as Chicago brick. Walter went to a brick yard and hand picked brick that he thought would match ours, which it did beautifully. He did an excellent job of interspersing the brick they had been able to salvage from the tear down with the new brick, with the end result being that one cannot tell where the repair began. Our chimney also had a bit of a detail with an occasional brick jutting out from the others,and they replicated that as well. Walter suggested that because our brick was so soft, we have them install a limestone crown where there had previously been none. We followed his advice, and I am very glad that we did. It looks great! <br /> Walter and Justin were wonderful to work with. They were responsive and nice and cleaned up beautifully afterward.. <hr /> <br />"

"Great.  Not only did he repair the crack we asked about, but also continued the repair down the wall to ensure it would not continue.  He sought out the source of the crack and removed the issue.  <br />"

"<p><br></p> <p>I received an estimate on my chimney after having some stucco fall off due to deteriorating brick behind the stucco on my 1929 home.  My options were to repair the brick either only as far as the water had damaged it, or to do a full tear down and rebuild of the chimney.  I opted to go with the full tear down and rebuild</p> <p> </p> <p>The work started on my house a couple weeks after deciding which repair to do.  I shared with Mike my design ideas prior to the work starting and he pointed out some additional details that would make my chimney really stand out.  Since the job was a rather major job, he ended up working with his former business partner at Bjugstad Masonry, who also happened to be named Mike.  </p> <p>The Mike's (as they became known as at my home) were incredibly professional.  They were always both at my house between 6:30-7:00 AM daily and would typically stay until between 5:00-6:00 PM.  They would get everything ready so when 8:00 hit, if they had to make noise, they were ready to go.  They always cleaned up at the end of the day as if they were never there and also took very good care of my home when weather hit during the project.  </p> <p>As they were going through the rebuild of the chimney, they were very easy to talk with about design ideas as either they would think of something that would look nice, or if I had something specific that I wanted to see.  They rolled with EVERY idea I tossed at them and gave me their ideas that would make my idea stand out even more.  Adding to the detail, I had a chimulator installed for one of my fireplaces and they noticed that one chimney cap was stainless steel and the other was black.  They insisted that they match and searched the town for another stainless chimney cap to match my chimulator.  Who would have known that it would be tough to find a plain stainless chimney cap?!?</p> <p>I am so incredibly happy with the work these guys did.  Their attention to detail, explanation of the process, and willingness to do extras that I would ask for were incredible.  These guys are true artists and amazingly hard workers!  I would recommend them for any masonry job and already have been referring them.  This has to have been the best construction experience that I have ever had while owning a home.  They made my old home a true focal point on the block.  </p>"

"Dan and his crew were thoroughly professional at every step, from providing a range of samples of replacement bricks to problem solving about a installing a new drainage pipe, to the brick by brick design and installation.  They were very careful about protecting garden plants and shrubs adjacent to the walkways and cleaned up thoroughly after each day's work. We were very happy with the final appearance of the new walks. <br />"
