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

"Excellent. called when they were on the way, quickly went to work, cleaned up VERY well which my wife appreciated' Had some potential follow on work to top my fireplace, which they are working up a bid on. Quality service, no pressure, nice to work with."

"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!"

"Ryan and crew came to our home for a fairly big job.  Pull tree stumps, grade yard, transplant bushes and shrubs and install 8 cycle sprinkler system and install fire pit.  We couldn't have been happier as Ryan and crew were very punctual and very friendly to work with.  I would and have recommended them!"

"The job went perfectly they showed up on time and they work efficiently even though they worked under the worst circumstances of weather they did a wonderful job I would definitely hire them again. I specially liked how they would call us ahead of time to let us know when they were going to be there or if they were not going to be able to come due to the weather but overall wonderful experience."

"We have a new construction home that we "finished" in July of last year.  We had numerous problems during the build, so to save some money on overrunning budgets my husband and I decided to install the stone veneer ourselves both inside and outside the house.  This included all the exterior wainscoting, four columns on the porch, and two floor-to-ceiling interior fireplaces.  We started off well, but after finishing over half the work we (quite frankly) ran out of steam!  With four large exterior columns and a very tall fireplace (15 feet) remaining, we called Jake at Stern's Masonry in January based on the excellent recommendations here on Angie's List.

Jake called back very quickly and came out to provide a quote within a few days.  He was very professional, recognized how much work we had already done, and was conscientious to the fact that the new work needed to blend with the old (ours...not so professional!) as much as possible.  We received his quote back with 24 hours, and while we felt the quoted price was reasonable, we unfortunately couldn't afford to get started until we'd saved up for a bit.  Jake was very understanding and said "give me a call when you're ready".  So in mid-March, we were happy to call him back for the job.  Although the company was working other jobs, they fit us in and his installer (Tony) got started a couple of weeks later.

Over the course of about two weeks, Tony and Jake smoothed the basecoats we had started, installed the veneer on four outside columns, put on stone caps to the top of the columns, demo'd our "half job" on the 15-foot tall interior fireplace, and reinstalled the veneer and hearthstones on the fireplace.  They had the skills (and scaffolding!) to get it done well.  Throughout the work, both Tony and Jake were respectful to our house and cleaned up after each day of work to limit the impact.  Jake also made sure that the work we had already done looked good before he was finished.  He cleaned the exterior veneer we had already installed to make sure the colors matched up, did some professional patching around cutouts like the hose bib and exterior outlets that we weren't that skilled to do, "straightened" a few of our more problem stones, touched up the paint on our firebox when it was needed, and even used a little leftover mortar to patch some holes he noticed in our driveway (the result of one of our many "problems" during build).

So here's our recommendation:  call Stern's.  And if you need to save up the money first, do it!  Worth. Every. Penny.

"Excellent! Larry and Jenaro showed up on time for 3 mornings in a row to re-tuck our chimney top and replace the two existing caps with stainless steel caps. The work was very well executed and the clean-up after completion was first rate. The estimate was more than reasonable and there were no surprises when we settled the bill."

"From the beginning, starting with our project consultation, Sta-Built was fantastic. They explained the project to us down to the finest detail so that we were comfortable with what was going to be done and the length of time our project would take. The crew showed up timely everyday, were courteous and respectful to us and our neighbors. If we had any questions or concerns the foreman would get back to us very quickly. There were a couple hiccups in the project, but I can not say enough about how they fixed any issue and stood by their work and finished with an outstanding product that we will enjoy for years to come. Very reliable and honest company that I will always recommend."

"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."

"Chimney work went great. Tom was on time and very informative on my project. Did an outstanding job and priced reasonable. Would hire him again."
