Get matched with top brick or stone fireplace repairers in Mercer Island, 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."

"Everything was just fine. They repointed a cinder block wall that had developed a crack due to a water leak which had been repaired, and fixed/sealed the chimney caps. We would hire them again."

"Replacement of chimney went very well and I am very pleased with the look. Previous chimney was leaking through mortar cracks and was faced with basalt rock. It would have been very expensive to tear down and replace and Chris suggested several brick colors, dropped them over for us to consider, and drew some pictures of replacement chimney to match mid century house and neighborhood. He also reused old cap material on new chimney and was able to use material to repair rear brick chimney cap."

"Why did we not do this sooner? Powers Chimney & Masonry made it simple to have this service completed from scheduling to the actual service. They were very friendly and professional. I especially appreciated their expertise. They responded to each of my question with informative details. The best part is we are now able to use our fireplace safely."

"<p>I can't say enough good things about this company!   Jud Irish came out to our home to give us an idea of what had to be done and we received a detailed written estimate the following day.   After agreeing to the proposal,  we set a day for the repair to begin.   Unfortunately, the brick that was used in our old chimneys was no longer manufactured for residential use so it had to be a special order for the center chimney brick.   This caused a delay in the start date but Jud kept us informed as to progress during the wait time.   The repair and installation took two days to complete and we are very happy with the result.   They cleaned up the yard and area around the house as well.   I would highly recommend Chimney Specialists!</p> <br />"

"We had Premier Masonry re-point our entire home + chimney this last winter, we bought the home and about a year ago and the inspection showed the mortar was in need of serious repair as the house is 90 years old, and bricks were coming loose from the archways. We got several estimates for the work, when i met Steve he set himself apart from others with his level of honesty, passion and experience working with Masonry, he answered all my questions in detail and followed him and Lisa followed up super quickly to any pre-job questions i had. Premier was on time with their start date, even though from original contact the date was months out due to their schedule being so busy. The crew were super punctual, showed up on time, were super friendly and it was clear that Steve's customer empathy and customer service is passed down to his lead foreman who was super helpful throughout the whole project. I was super impressed with the daily clean-up and respect the crew has for making sure we could still use main entries to the house, in other reviews i read they cleaned-up well every day but until you see how dusty/messy the job is you have no appreciation for how thorough the daily clean-up really is. During the grinding process we had a few of our origial drafty windows letting in dust, the crew was super responsive and ensure to tape the inside jams to ensure the dust didn't penetrate further. They tackled the house one side at a time and and cleaned the brick after pointing each side, the house now looks fantastic with all sides being refreshed to original appearance and mortar strength. They also did a great job on the chimney and installed a cap, so we are super confident with the stability of the large brick chimney we have. Once the job was done Steve came by for a walk-through and addressed any small corrections needed, he even had one of his guys repair a couple firebox joints with black dye'd mortar after me asking about whether i should address it or not, i was so impressed. I would definitely recommend Steve and crew for brick restoration jobs."

"We are extremely pleased with the quality of work Seth provided for our front entry make-over. He provided five-star service, from design and material selection, to installation and cleanup. Seth provides excellent communion, time management, experience, and creativity. The project was completed a day earlier than the proposed completion date, and the finished tile and ledge stone steps are even more beautiful than we had envisioned. Seth is an exceptional contractor. We would hire him for any future stone masonry projects."

"We are very happy with our choice to use RC Masonry. We contacted quite a few masons to bid our job and even had a hard time getting a written bid back from a couple, but not with RC Masonry. It was easy to get in touch with Robert to schedule an estimate appointment. When I needed to reschedule he was able to accommodate. He was great at answering our questions and quoting the job. His bid wasn?t the highest or lowest, but it was the upper middle. Our bid from RC was in the fall of the previous year, but was too late in the year because of the cold weather to start the job. During the winter the tar paper that the general contractor put up had tearing away. Robert came out right away and installed new tar paper to get through the winter. We had several decisions to make to the fireplace as work was underway; we felt Robert and Jeff provided options and guided us to the best solution; not just the quickest or cheapest for them. Robert and Jeff were here when they said they would be, did the job to our picky specifications, communicated with us throughout if plans changed, and created a wonderful backdrop for our outdoor space. We felt that cost was worth the quality of work and in the end was good value. We would definitely use them again. <br />"

"Beautiful job, they even added some color to the mortar which matches the old mortar very closely. Did a great job on our 1933 Magnolia home."

"I am very happy with the work done by Brick by Brick Masonry. Andrew and his assistant Armondo were very professional and the work they did was excellent quality. Our 80yr old home looks almost like new."
