Get matched with top brick or stone fireplace installers in Mountlake Terrace, 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."

"After interviewing three contractors, I chose Ryan (owner of J&R) because we had a good rapport, he offered the best suggestions on project specifics, and he was willing to negotiate price (some) and payment schedule. He and his team (Reese, Jake, Andrew) were quite knowledgeable and professional, and open to my questions and requests. Ryan let me purchase additional yards of soil beyond what was needed for the project, at his cost, and had his guys spread it for me - very nice. Once the project was done, I discovered a few loose ends, and they were quick to come back and take care of them. The finished retaining wall and leveled yard look great, although I'm not thrilled with the steps (see below). Overall, a good experience, and I would probably hire J&R again or recommend them to others. That said, there were a few bumps along the way, some of which are normal for a construction project but others seemed avoidable. - The project estimate was 8-10 days but ran into a third week. One problem was they didn't reserve the equipment they needed to get started, which caused a 3-day delay. But even when all the equipment and materials were there, they worked short days. The first week, very little got done, nobody was there more than a couple hours a day. The second week, they only worked 3-5 hours a day - until the end of the week, when the project should be complete, but was only half done, so they started working more. But not once was there an 8-hour day. The project would have been completed sooner with more productive days. As a project manager myself, I found this annoying, esp. when the extra days impacted my personal life and business. - They didn't talk to me about how the stairs would be laid down the hillside, and I'm not pleased with the result. Not what I expected, and I hope I don't scrape my legs or trip down them. My older, existing stairs at the other end of the wall may not look as nice but are more functional than the new, $1000 steps. - The finish and cleanup was incomplete. They didn't properly finish the end of the wall (capstones), they dumped green waste and leftover gravel in inappropriate locations, and they left part of my lawn (their staging area) a mess - gravel and debris, damaged areas. This necessitated a return visit the following week to address these issues, which were then completed to my satisfaction."

"We had Russ and Hunter come out to replace our wood burning fireplace with a gas insert and run a new gas line for said fireplace. They went so far above our expectations I wish I could give a higher rating. The install was painless on our part and they even removed an old non-working humidifier and replaced a worn out pipe in the garage for us in the process. You cannot go wrong hiring Eagle and Sons HVAC, they go above and beyond expectations. Also, the new fireplace is incredible!"

"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."

"This job was handled meticulously by Jake and his team. They communicated well before, during and after the job and made sure the materials were exactly as we wanted. There were a number of last minute design changes and Jake and his son helped us through all of them without adding cost or delaying the schedule....fantastic team...I will have them back to do another larger fireplace as soon as we can....great guy and extremely trustworthy...what all contractors should be...we have had problems with others in the past so believe me, there is hope out there when you work with guys like Jake, Josh and Ryan."

"Very quick response. Very professional and kind. Water heater replaced the same day."

"I hired Mike from PSM based on a recommendation fron a friend to fix my mom's chimney. Not only did he do a fantastic job, but finished quicker than he told me he would. I'm going to have him do my fireplace next!"

"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."
