"I had CO2 coming into my house from the oil burning furnace (located in basement) via the wood burning portion of the fireplace (located in living room). This is definitely a safety issue and Hoyt Masonry LLC called within minutes of me putting the information on Angi. He came out the following day and determined a liner had to be installed in the section where the furnace exhaust is piped up through the fireplace. The current one was comprised somehow and leaking over to the wood burning portion of the fireplace. The new stain steel liner had a lifetime manufacturer warranty and was the material recommended by another vendor. Based on the discussion with the other vendor, the price was fair. The liner was installed in a few days, considering he had to overcome supplier chain issues, and a hand injury which required immediate attention that day. He showed up the next morning at 7am to complete the job. ( He felt bad he couldn't get it done the same day). We still had some lingering CO2 smell in the living room and finally determined the bat cover over the exterior fireplace entrance needed to be changed ( installed less than 1 year earlier). Have no had any other issues after getting original installer (pest control company) to change the cover, During this time, Sean came back to check that there were no issues with the new liner and helped debug the problem (always got back to me when I had some questions). Sean and his crew worked fast, returned my calls/texts in a reasonable amount of time, informative, fair price, and left no mess. Would definitely use them again"

"We hired Josh to completely transform our fireplace area and couldn’t be happier with the results. From the initial inspection to the final install, everything was explained clearly and handled professionally. The stonework and stove setup came out absolutely beautiful and completely changed the feel of the room. Josh was clean, punctual, and took real pride in his work. The before and after difference is night and day. I’d highly recommend him to anyone looking for quality chimney or stove work done right."

"Josh arrived fully prepared to clean my gas fireplace and chimney. He explained everything clearly, was meticulous about cleanliness, and solved an unexpected issue with ease. He relit the pilot light and explained everything to me as he went along. Based on Josh’s work, I can highly recommend Ashguard to care for your fireplace."

"Very professional work. Kept fireplace area clean. Explained details well. We highly recommend him."

"My backyard had a failing timber wall that the previous owner had propped up with posts, and had allowed it to lean into rapidly deteriorating shed. Jim's crew came in, removed the shed and timber wall, and also removed an intact but inadequate stone wall extending from the backyard to the street, a total distance of around 40 feet. He replaced that entire length with a beautiful split-faced masonry wall and poured a new concrete walkway to improve access to the backyard. Jim is the ultimate professional. He takes great pride in his work, loves to talk masonry and answer questions about the project, and is very transparent about pricing. The walkway was an add-on to the original project scope due to some unexpected circumstances uncovered during excavation, but he explained this at length and took photos so I could see why the additional work was required. I would not hesitate to hire him again or recommend his services."

"Ben is a gentleman who really knows his business. He responded quickly to my first request, came to look at the project when he said he would and also came to do the work when he said he would. He actually repaired and sealed two chimneys, one of which I had no idea needed work. The crew worked efficiently and cleaned up after themselves. A job very well done; I am relieved and glad to have done business with Three Brothers Masonry. Would definitely recommended them."

"Needed a cleaning. Great price! The guys were friendly and so knowledgeable. They got the job done in good timing! I’m having them come back to repair and repoint bricks ! Definitely Recommend ! Thank you Handy Andy!"
