"I Highly recommend Brendan of Avery Masonry. I had a contractor coordination dilemma, between tiling, surround rebuilding, plastering around the surround to create a new fireplace look. I also had issues with my oil flu liner. He saved me from contractors overselling work that didn’t need to be done and those contractors that where not able to handle all parts of the redesign. He became the “general contractor” for my project and did an excellent job! Thank you Brendan."

"When we had our home inspected our inspector found that the partition wall was missing in our smoke box. We did not have enough time to have a mason come look at it but I contacted Jim via email to ask him about this issue. Jim was good about getting back to me and assuring us that it could be fixed and that it shouldn't break the bank. We decided to purchase the home and while doing some work we found that most of the stone facade was no longer attached to the fireplace. We called Jim to have him take a look at it. He said it would cost $100 to inspect our chimney but if we used him for work on the chimney that the $100 would go towards that bill. Luckily Jim found no other issues with our chimney except that the critter cage was separating a bit so he quickly fixed that. Jim said that extending the partition and rebuilding the stone facade would cost $1,500 and take one and a half days but that he wouldn't be available for 6 to 8 weeks. We decided to go with him because we thought the cost sounded reasonable and because other masons we had talked to previously said they couldn't even look at our chimney for weeks. When it came time to have the work done is when we ran into some issues. Jim originally said they would start on the day after Columbus day but then later told us that they would start on Columbus day but then on Columbus day he told us his associate didn't want to work on Columbus day so they would start around noon on the following day. This wasn't a big deal as it seemed like one guy decided he wanted to start early while the other wanted to take the holiday. Unfortunately, they didn't come the day after Columbus day either. There were several dropped calls that day and when I finally got in touch with Jim it was mid afternoon and he informed me that another job took too long and he wouldn't be able to start until the following day. He also told me at this point that the job would take three days instead of one and a half. They started on Wednesday but were unable to continue on Thursday because of a rainstorm. Unfortunately there was now a hole in our chimney and in the wall around the fireplace before a rainstorm was supposed to hit. I decided to cover the hole in the chimney with plastic to be safe. The following day Jim and his associate came back to finish the job. Unfortunately I came back to find that I had some cleaning to do. In the end they did a good job at a good price from what we can tell and in the number of days originally quoted. However, he pushed back the start date a couple of times, changed his mind on how long it would take, didn't think of covering the hole in our chimney before a rainstorm and left a bit of a mess. Since quality of work and price are most important we'd consider him for future work but may look into other masons as well.

"They inspected the chimney from up on the roof, something that the chimney sweeps that had been cleaning the chimney since 2016, when we first moved in, had never done. They took pics and showed us how the lining of the chimney was collapsing and it had been in this state for a long time. So in addition to cleaning the chimney, they also replaced the lining inside it. It was an expense I didn't expect, but we use the fireplace a lot and it needed to be done."

"Our 100 year old fireplace chimney was in desperate need if attention. We called around and decided on Shawn, both for price and trustworthiness. With a minimum of fuss or inconvenience out Chimney was repaired and restored to our absolute satisfaction. Highly recommend!"

"Mark Dunn and his crew were awesome. We had gotten other estimates to repair our chimney that were double what inner Boston quoted. They showed up when they said they would and finished on time. The chimney looks great."
