Let me introduce myself and tell you about us. I’m Mike, the founder and owner of MCP Chimney and Masonry. MCP is a company I started in 1994 with only an old pickup, three hundred dollars, and a mission to treat all of my customers like family. Today, each MCP employee is trained to provide the highest quality chimney work. We want to be more than just your average contractor, we want to be the personal chimney and masonry company that you can trust and rely on for a lifetime. As you can imagine, trustworthiness in a chimney company is paramount. Customers cannot easily see chimney work that is recommended. MCP treats our customers the way we like to be treated as customers. I am so grateful that our customers’ trust in us over the years has spurred our growth despite minimal advertising. These word of mouth recommendations of our fiercely loyal customer base has pushed MCP from a single employee with a single truck to twenty-five year-round employees working in fully staffed offices. We hope you will give us a chance to be your trusted chimney company. We will work hard to keep you happy.
"They were very great to work with. They are always on time, very punctual and the quality of work was excellent."

"We had a fantastic experience with JK Gardening Lawn & Garden Care, from start to finish. Their pricing was very reasonable, and the quality of service exceeded our expectations. Kevin and his uncle came out to plant 20 emerald green arborvitae trees along our driveway. They dug all the holes by hand, demonstrating incredible effort and precision. They even moved the excess dirt into a neat pile exactly where we requested. Once the job was done, they thoroughly cleaned up and even blew the driveway free of debris. We couldn't be happier with their professionalism and attention to detail. Highly recommend!"

"When we contracted with Bartz Landscaping in November 2019 (after getting estimates from three contractors), their BBB rating was A+. Now it is down to C+, and I can see why. We had a problem with rainwater flooding in our back yard, and Bartz provided two options, a yard length drainage ditch (rock filled) or French Drain (with no ditching necessary) Strongly recommended was the installation of the supposedly much superior French Drain, eliminating the need for any ditching, and it was this for which we opted. This was done in November 2019, but the flooding continued afterward (it would drain after an hour or more, but we were told that there should be no pooling whatsoever with the French Drain). They came back a couple of times to make some minor modifications, but none of them were effective. The only way to eliminate the flooding was for me to dig my own partial trench, something that should not have been necessary given the French Drain. When I asked them to replace my trench with a “professional” one as part of the original contract to alleviate the flooding, since the French Drain had not lived up to their promise, they said this was extra and would require additional cost. Supposedly an estimate was sent, but it was never received - The following was my last correspondence with the contractor on 11/09/2020, to which there was no response; "When you send estimate, include diagrams for both the estimate work and the no-charge options (i.e; remove pop up and recontour exit area). The original estimate never arrived for the creek bed and pipe extension. I do not agree that this should be considered additional work, as the original goal was to eliminate the pooling completely, which the French Drain alone has not done. Nonetheless, send the estimate and we will decide. Thank you" Since there was no response to this final email, I felt that the contractor wished not to be bothered by me anymore. Having already sunk $1500 into the French Drain which, at best, was only partially effective, I opted not to waste more money with them to do something they should have done for free as part of the original promise to alleviate the flooding problem. I lost confidence in their alleged “expertise” in drainage. Also, note that the response statement "we made professional suggestions and they were not followed (due to not accepting the proposal) is not accurate. We were given two alternative proposals originally, creek bed OR French Drain, the latter being strongly recommended over the former as much superior eliminating any need for any type of creek bed. It turned out that a partial creek bed was needed after all, which I dug myself. There was never any discussion to accepting BOTH proposals, especially since the French Drain was supposed to stand alone to eliminate the problem without any ditching."

Landscapers typically charge $25 to $50 per person per hour, which equals around $50 to $100 per hour for a two-person crew. These rates can vary depending on your location, the size of staff needed for the job, and overall job type. For example, a larger crew will be needed for structural additions and hardscaping versus planting flowers.
When it comes to landscapers, licensing laws vary. Landscaping architects are required to be licensed in all 50 states, whereas traditional landscaping contractors are not typically required to hold a certification. You’ll likely be working with a landscaping contractor for most residential projects. If you are redesigning your whole yard or adding in hardscape features, you will work with a landscaping architect at some point during the project. Be sure to check our state licensing tool to review the local landscaper guidelines.
As you browse our pro listings, take note of the “Angi Approved” badge. Angi Approved businesses meet our standards for certification which include:
The owner, principal, or relevant manager passed a criminal background check
Required to have applicable state and local licenses
Maintain an average star rating of 3.0 or better on our network, if they have at least one review
Paying to advertise their services
Meeting any other eligibility criteria required by Angi
Keep in mind licensing is different from certifications. A license is a legal requirement to operate a business, while certifications are voluntary.
The cost of a paver patio is $3,800 for a 280-square-foot patio on average. Depending on the patio size, paver material, and design complexity, this cost can range from $2,400 to $7,000 or more.
The size of your patio is a significant factor in the project’s overall cost. If you're building a smaller patio of only 60 square feet, your costs will be closer to $480 to $1,500. If you want a more luxurious 900-square-foot patio, you'll spend closer to $7,200 to $22,500.
The cost to install a fireplace is $2,440 on average. This cost can range from $150 to $8,000 or more, depending on the type of fireplace, the materials used, and the size.
Electric fireplaces cost around $1,000 to install, and mostly only require wiring installation. Installing a wood fireplace from scratch could cost upwards of $10,000, depending on the foundation needed to support the weight of the fireplace. In addition, gas fireplaces can cost between $2,500 and $10,000.
The cost to remodel your fireplace is $1,200 on average. This cost can range from $400 to $2,000, depending on the extent of work needed.
If you add a hearth to your fireplace, you can expect to pay between $3 and $200 per square foot. However, if you're refacing your fireplace, the price tag will depend on your chosen materials. If choosing tile, you can pay between $1 and $50 per square foot, depending on the design. Stone is a more expensive material, averaging between $60 and $70 per square foot.
