Thank you Bruce for your kind and generous review of your masonry restoration project. We try every day to get a little better at what we do.

Chimney repair

Stephen was very knowledgeable and explained everything that would be done with before and after pictures. He completed the work when he said it would be completed. The price was the same as the quote with no hidden charges.

Chimney repair

Working with Stephen has been the best experience I've had since owning my home.

I had reached out to help diagnose and repair a leaking chimney and he answered directly and offered to come by the very next day. After flying a drone up and taking a few pictures we determined the issue was unrelated to the chimney itself and Stephen went out of his way to give me a few recommendations on how to fix the issue myself and even gave me some supplies directly from his truck at no cost simply to help me out.

It's so rare these days to meet people who are so forthcoming and helpful. I called another company who was highly rated who only wanted to pitch a complete chimney replacement before even coming to see the job. The difference was night and day.

Big fan of Stephen and only wish there were more people like him out there!

Chimney Repair

I had a cracked chimney flue and had been told that my chimney needed to be completely rebuilt. Stephen came to my house to assess the issue. He advised that the chimney would not need any work for 10 to 15 years. As a mason, he could not replace the flue, but he went out of his way to locate someone who could.

Indeed the exterior of the chimney while it may need some work does not validate a tear down. Any remedial work can wait as there is no evidence of failure other than aesthetically. To replace the cracked flue at the bottom of the chimney would involve a good deal of work. A zero tolerance steel liner with some patching would be the cost effective route to take with this project. While we are not shy about taking on a project we are not interested in taking advantage of a client. This is the most cost effective route to take. Thank you very much for your kind review.

Wall Repair

SMC Masonry fixed our leaky east wall which had been giving us problems for years. He provided very professional service, and worked with our roofing company, helping with the financing, to come up with a final solution to fix this problem. He did this, all the while dealing with serious family circumstances. SMC scores a solid 10 for his professionalism and dedication to their customers. I would highly recommend the SMC crew to anyone.

Brick work

I had smc masonry put up brick where I had taken a sliding door out and put in a window. They did a perfect job at matching the 30+ year old brick work.
Would highly recommend.
