All your masonry needs from new brick, block or stonework.. Retaining walls..chimney repair..whole house repointing..lintel replacement..step cracks ..mortar matching..no job too big or small
"A Cut Above many other Contractors! We had needed brick pointing done on our home for a few years. We are also in the middle of a renovation project for our game room and that included the installation of a sliding glass door where a window was. The door install required that a steel lintel be moved up to accommodate the height of the new door. We were very fortunate that we called Michener Chimney and Masonry to come and have a look. They came out in a timely fashion and gave their estimate to us in just a few days. Once we agreed to get the work done, Jim and his team from Michener began the work quickly. They were professional and friendly and did a wonderful job on all of the aspects of the project. Communication with them was easy, clear and accurate. We would highly recommend anyone needing brick or masonry work to use Michener Chimney and Masonry. Thank you Jim for doing such an amazing job and keeping our renovation project on-time and with your quality craftsmanship!"

"Words cannot describe just how fantastic Evan and his crew are. I had an EXTREMELY dusty and dirty house that had sat empty for a number of years. It required a Herculean effort, and the owner Evan and his crew were more than equal to the task. Evan is extremely organized and had a checklist for what needed to happen in each room. He and his crew worked non-stop for over 10 hours the first day, and came back for a few more hours to finish the next day. Initially, he came over to look at the state of the house and gave me an estimate, but I recognized that it was hard to estimate and that the cost might go over a little, which it did, but I was fine with that because of the unique situation of such a disasterously dirty house, and because I witnessed first hand how hard they all worked. There was no goofing off or slow-rolling. They worked hard every minute and more than earned every penny. The only break was a quick one for lunch the first day and then they got right back to it. The entire crew are incredible -- not only first rate cleaners, but more importantly, first rate people. Young men of character -- intelligent, diligent, hardworking, focused, honest, extremely trustworthy -- and above all, they all take great pride in doing an excellent job (which they did). I almost hesitate to recommend them so highly as I want Evan to continue to have time on his schedule for me! I cannot thank him and his crew enough and look forward to using them on a regular basis going forward."

Chimney cap installations and replacements FAQs
Yes, a chimney cap is essential for keeping birds, squirrels, rain, and debris out of the flue. By stopping stray embers and blocking downdrafts, a chimney cap helps your fireplace run safely and efficiently. The cap also protects the chimney’s inner walls from moisture damage, saving you from costly repairs down the road.
Most chimney caps last anywhere from three to 25 years. Galvanized steel sits at the low end, while stainless steel, aluminum, and especially copper can exceed the 25-year mark. Annual inspections, quick repairs, and routine chimney cleanings all help the cap reach its full lifespan and keep the flue protected.
A good rule of thumb is to set the cap at least eight inches above the top of the flue. That clearance keeps the draft strong, lets smoke exit freely, and prevents back-puffing into your living room. Extra height also adds a little more protection from wind-driven rain and snow without hurting airflow.
The crown is the solid concrete or mortar slab that sits on top of the chimney stack and sheds water away from the masonry. The cap, mounted above the flue, adds the final layer of defense by blocking rain, animals, and embers while still letting smoke out. Working together, the crown guards the structure and the cap safeguards the flue.
