Mission Mantels

I used Mission Mantels to replace a very worn mantel and tile surround. The work was scheduled and completed on time. Scott Perz has a great eye for detail and offered several suggestions that enhanced the mantel and tile layout. Ben Darby (tile setter) did a terrific job. We couldn't be happier. We researched the necessary work and cost extensively and found Mission Mantels provided the best product for a fair price.

Scott and Ben did a great job and I'm very happy with the result. I was on a tight timeline and he was able to shift some things around to get my fireplaces done before my big event. He came to my house, showed me pictures of his previous work to help me get inspiration, and we talked about what I might want to do. He gave me a quote and we set up all the details right then. I later met him at a stone company where we picked out the stone I wanted. He also brought examples of the kind of materials, shape and stain he would be using to make the actual mantels. This was all very helpful to allow me to see most of the actual materials before if was even really purchased. I didn't have to worry that anything was miscommunicated or would turn out different than I was expecting. Because it was a full-wall stacked stone for one of the fireplaces, the project took about a week. Ben, the tile guy, arrived at around 10 each morning and called me each day to let me know before he was going to get there which was great. He worked until about 4 or 5 and it took 5 days of this to get the hearth and the fireplace built. Scott came on a couple of the days to make sure everything was going smoothly and also to install the actual mantels he was making off site. Everything turned out beautifully in the end and I was very happy with the work. My only caution was that my living room was totally covered in dust and grout particles at the end. Ben did spend time cleaning all the major stuff, but there was just a film over everything in the room. I did know to expect this and a lot of stuff was covered up, so I don't think he did anything wrong, it's just something to expect. The only bad thing was that some of the grout dust did get all over the place and that stuff is actually really hard to clean. So even today I can still see a film on some of the stone and my tile floor around the area. I haven't had a chance to get grout dust cleaner and scrub myself yet, but this is probably something I would have liked to know ahead of time to either know how to clean it better, or just be prepared. All in all, even with my slight complaint, I'm very happy I hired Mission Mantels and I love the end result.

Scott (owner) came to our house to design the perfect mantel for our Living Room, taking into consideration our furniture, house, lighting, life style, etc. He had some excellent suggestions that we had not even thought of. He designed and built a mantel that looks absolutely perfect in our Living Room and although we had high expectations, the final result was even better. His tile person, Ben, did an excellent job on the tile work. Everyone who sees the new fireplace is in awe of how nice it is, and how well it looks in the room (like it was designed and built with the house.) Scott is a very skilled and knowledgeable craftsman and a talented and creative artist. He was very responsive and completed in advance of schedule. This was not an inexpensive project, but was a perfect example of and quot;you get what you pay forand quot;. As you can tell, we are thrilled with our new Mantel/fireplace and highly recommend Mission Mantels.

I hope this is the right company as there is some disclaimer above their page saying the phone number may or may not be them... Its not the one I used but everything else matches. I emailed them all my details and measurements, and received a reply the same day. I have to say for not speaking to anyone over the phone except for when paying, this process was seamless and easy. I love my cabinets and the delivery was great too.

We had visited several other craftsmen and chosen Mission Mantels for the superb workmanship, as well as numerous examples we were able to see in person at the Del Mar Home Show, where we met. Scott is extremely professional and responsive, and had many suggestions to help us fine tune what we wanted. Overall the job took about 10 weeks from first meeting in home to installation. His work is expensive, but in line with other craftsmen, and we are very happy with the results.

Mission Mantels did updated stuff and they knew what they were doing. They were clean and on time, they did what they said. There were some problems but they were very good at solving them. The workers were good, meticulous, respectful, and clean.

His tile guy was AMAZING and did a PERFECT job. The alder wood mantle that Scott hand made and installed was beyond beautiful. It is apparent he takes exceptional pride in this craftsmanship. Scott came by our house numerous times to ensure we were happy and to provide us samples of stain as well. He was always available by phone, worked exceptionally hard, ensures his tile guy was doing the job we wanted and his mantle was just incredable. I stronglly recommend that anyone looking to upgrade their fireplace gives Mission Mantels a call. I work with a lot of contractors and Scott was one of the very best I've ever had. He even recommended a great company to redue the old ceramic logs, and once again, we were thrilled. Mission Mantels is an exemplary company. We cannot speak highly enough of them and Scott.
