Excellent work. Job was performed very efficiently. All work was ex- plained in detail to me. Work crew was very friendly and experienced. Job proceeded exactly as quoted. Would definitely hire them again and strongly recommend them to anyone needing chimney work.

The repairs needed were much more extensive than I expected, but once I got over the sticker shock, I trusted in their reputation (and a strong recommendation from our roofer) and had them do the work. It took nearly three days (a complete rebuild from the roof up, including a new concrete cap on a 6' x 9' chimney), but it looks great. They did a great job, and everyone on the team had a great attitude. In addition, Art gave me a lifetime warranty ("It'll last longer than either of us.").

Art's crew did an amazing job! Art's estimate was higher than any other company I spoke to, but I felt it was the most complete and thorough, so I went with him. They completed a pretty big job in about four days, with no disruption to our lives. While he was here, he checked out the rest of the house, too, and found another critical issue that I didn't realize was a problem and included that in the job (for a reasonable additional fee). I don't think I'll need him again (he gave me a lifetime guarantee on the work he did), but I wouldn't hesitate to hire him if the need ever arose.

Although our job was very small and would not be easy for Art to accommodate, he promptly fit us into his very booked schedule and did the repair work for a reasonable price. The young man he sent to do the work, Kyle, was friendly and helpful and actually cleaned up some other problems with our chimney. I'd hire these guys again in a heartbeat.

Art and his team did a very good job retiling our old and complex fireplace in our home. They also repaired the fireboxes in two fireplaces, added a damper and fixed some chimney tuckpointing. Art was very responsive and his team was very professional. I understand that Art also provides his masons with benefits and I like supporting local businesses who take care of their employees. I highly recommend Art and his team for your masonry projects!

Art and his guys have done several jobs for me on my home. One of their tasks was to create an opening in the brick exterior of our house for a doorway out to our patio. Their quality of work and attention to detail is impeccable. The doorway out to our patio looks like it was an original part of our home (built in 1930). We also had very intricate tuck work with the brick and stone on the front of our home that needed repair. They returned it to its original condition. It turned out beautiful. We’ll continue to call Art when his services are needed. We have and will continue to recommend him and his guys.

Excellent work. They came with a big crew of masons and finished a big job in one day. I wish we would have taken a before picture because the chimney was in very bad shape. By comparison, it looks like new now. We couldn't be happier and would recommend Art and his team anytime.

Art and his crew did an outstanding job of repairing our 80 year old home's exterior. They were professional, skilled and diligent. The crew included master masons and apprentices. They were punctual, respectful, and easy to work with throughout the project.. Art kept us informed of progress during the weeklong process and visited the site almost daily. We were surprised at how well they matched the old bricks and mortar in style and colors. When the job was finished it was almost impossible to see any difference in appearance; the mark of professional craftsmanship. Art's bid was not the lowest, but we got what we paid for - a fair appraisal and a high quality job that will last.

Art and his team were a pleasure to work. They were diligent and timely and worked hard to exceed my expectations. The team was comprised of master craftsmen and masonry apprentices and everything in between. The work site was safe (we have small children) and neat and everyone worked diligently and orderly. The work is top notch and the customer service was stellar.

No need to waste your time trying to find the best mason-Art and his team are it. They were fast, friendly, professional, very reasonably priced and did an exceptional job- going above and beyond what I expected. Besides doing such a thorough job, they painstakingly and precisely matched the color of mortar as well as fixed things I wasn’t even aware of. I couldn’t be happier knowing my exterior and chimney are in tip top shape. Will definitely use them again!

“Above and beyond” is the best way to describe the job Art did on my masonry. They were reasonably priced, did exceptional work, finished well ahead of schedule and even did unexpected repairs as part of the job. Also, Art keeps his word which is rare characteristic in this business as I have found. If you want to the best possible service in masonry, call Art!

The stormy spring weather caused a couple of delays in our start, and Art was good about communicating what was going on and when we would get going. Once the work commenced, the team worked quickly and completely. They rebuilt our small chimney and put a chimney cap on. We also had them tuck point our brick house and rebuild a decorative architectural detail on the front of the house. Art checked on the team’s work every day and addressed our concerns and questions right away. About a month after the main work was done and the mortar had finished curing, they came back to seal the brick. At that time, my husband showed Art a piece of stone that also needed replacing, and they did it right away, no additional fee. Art and his team were great to work with.

Overall we were very happy with the work done. We reviewed what needed to be done with Art and the time line. He indicated that with his current schedule we could plan on them starting within 4 to 6 weeks from when the deposit was paid. They started within that time frame. Everyone was very nice and respectful to our older home. We would definitely recommend Art and his crew!

It was in regards to a sale of a house and even though the weather was not the best at the time, they managed to get it done in a terrific time frame that worked well with the closing date. The new buyers were impressed with both the work and the time frame that it took to complete the project. The work alleviated their concerns with the chimney and the sale went on without a hitch. Working with Art was very professional and he knows what he is doing when he gives a quote.
