JM Masonry is a sub-contracting company with six employees. Payment is due upon completion of job with a deposit.




"Cory Harrison installed my bamboo flooring, but he did not allow enough room in his cuts to allow the flooring to expand properly with changes in humidity; therefore, the floors have buckled in numerous places. It buckled so badly in front of my front door that I could no longer use the front door and I had to remove it, saw it down and reinstall the door. He also removed my old dishwasher and did not close the pipe that ran from my kitchen sink to the dishwasher, so water leaked all over my kitchen floor. Cory consistently was difficult to get a hold of and to schedule work with; when I finally told him my concerns about his lack of communication and delays on the work he had been contracted to do, he told me to find someone else to fix my chimney, which is the main job that I needed done in the first place. He then told me that I needed to "give him a reason" and "convince him to come" out to do the work that he had been hired to do. Cory was paid in full for the work he did for me, although the work was deficient to say the least. He is not someone that I would recommend to anyone, particularly a woman."

ADVANCED CHIMNEY has been providing quality chimney cleaning, building and repairing since our founding in 1998. It is our mission to provide the best service and quality for our customers, at a price that is very competitive. We believe the best way to achieve this goal is to keep our business a small, family owned and operated business who blends our Christian beliefs with the more than 25 years combined experience into our work. The owner, Robert Schools, Master Sweep, has been in the chimney industry since 1993. Before pursuing chimneys, he worked the the Heating and Air Conditioning industry since 1988. Jesse, Robert’s son has been assisting him since 2005.

"I prefer to not leave negative reviews publicly and resolve it with the company directly. However, the owner was unable to conduct a professional, respectful level of customer service. We presented our concerns with pictures after the service was provided, to see if it was up to their company standards, because there was no improvement - everything was left filthy with no condition report. It was honestly appalling the way the owner refused to address the obvious issues at hand. We scheduled to have our fireplaces/chimneys serviced that was said to include a thorough inspection, detailed cleaning and condition report. When the workers showed up, they were in an unmarked raggedy old van reeking of marijuana, dressed like they were homeless, with nothing showing what company they represented. They did 4 fireplaces and 2 chimneys in less than 2 hours. The equipment they used was insufficient to do a thorough job and they ended up borrowing our tools to complete their work. I’m not sure why they didn’t at least have a flashlight and how the owner thinks a cell phone light “works just fine to the trained eye” when inspecting and cleaning a deep dark chimney… He went on and on and had an excuse for every legitimate problem, with no intent to resolve anything. He was perpetually harassing both my boyfriend and me for payment, while we were waiting for them to send a professional condition report and formal invoice. Yet he spent more time threatening us, trying to defend his reputation, than he did actually doing his job. It was very condescending, a huge waste of time and A LOT of money for nothing. We could’ve done a better job ourselves; our fireplaces still aren’t even suitable for use. Spend your money elsewhere or take the risk of a huge loss."

Chimney Repair questions, answered by experts

Steel roofs are noisier than slate or asphalt tiles but less noisy than aluminum and other types of metal roofing. While some find the sound pleasant, others may want a quieter roof. To reduce noise in your living area, you can install thicker underlayment or add insulation or even acoustic tiles between the roof and the house.

Many manufacturers offer 30-50-year warranties, depending on material and installation.

Losing your cell or data signal is a problem that’s become more relevant in the digital age, one which metal roofs can cause. Metal roofs can rust, which is a con, but another reason to get a stone-coated roof is the added protection against that happening. Without proper insulation, metal roofs can be loud and are difficult to work on because they're slippery Finally, metal roof installation is one of the more expensive options.

Installing a metal roof will rarely affect your homeowner’s insurance policy in a negative way, and you might even get a discount on your premium for installing one, depending on your area. Metal roofs can reduce the risk of structural damage from heavy snow, and they stand up better to strong winds and impact, so homeowners in areas that see excessive snowfall or extreme weather may see savings on insurance premiums after installing a metal roof.

Yes, many services provide waterproofing and sealing to protect against moisture and weather damage.
