I started in the Masonry business in 1976 and have been working ever since. I started my business in 1980 and incorporated in 1986. We are a small company with an experienced crew. They've all worked with me for the last 20 years. Experienced with working with condo associations and large building tuck pointing, brickwork, and stone work.
"In Aug./Sep. 2019, Rogers Masonry did a tear-down of our decrepit stuccoed chimney, followed by a beautiful brick re-build. The project posed some every unique challenges that Roger handled with a high level of professionalism and diligence. He is exceptionally knowledgeable in all chimney-related matters and provided almost-daily progress reports to document the work his crew was performing. His communication was exemplary, and he was responsive to our questions/concerns, all of which he promptly addressed. We were especially appreciative of the many pictures of the ongoing work that Roger provided throughout the project. We have already had the opportunity to make a referral for Roger and hope to work with him on another chimney project in 2020."

Envision Fire also specializes in the Gas Fireplace industry. Repair-Maintain-Sales-Install on all makes and models. We also do stone facing and any mason repair or project.
"We were delighted by the work of Chad and Nicole. We converted a wood burning fireplace in our lower level to gas logs. The upstairs fireplace has an insert which they removed with care only to find the installers of the insert (not Envision) placed it on a plywood base (not a good mix - heat and wood). So in addition to installing the gas line with precision and getting us a log set that is beautiful, they reset the inert on cement board and made the house safer. Envision is awesome. Their prices are great and worth every penny."

"Great! Caleb cleaned the stove, took the stove pipe apart and took it outside to clean it. He replaced a cracked brick in the stove. He discovered the stove pipe cap was missing. He inspected the flue and the outside assembly. He took before and after pictures of everything. He showed me his findings through every step of the process. Within an hour after he left he sent me an estimate for the replacement cost of the stove pipe cap. He was thorough, professional, friendly, and fast. I was so impressed!"

Nick's Chimney Service & Duct Cleaning of St Paul MN has been family owned and operated for over 16 years. We serve the Twin Cities Metro and Western Wisconsin areas, and we provide quality, reliable services at affordable rates.
"I had them out a few years ago to do $650.00 in tuck-pointing on my chimney since it was causing water intrusion into my basement. Their work started failing at the end of 2024 so I called them to see how much they stand behind their work and if they can at least inspect it to see what other issues the chimney may have. They never called or emailed me back so it all felt like a scam for them to get some quick cash with a half-hearted ‘fix’ when they did the tuck-pointing."

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.
