After a number of years of using this company for various chimney needs on two 100 year old fireplaces we are done. Their prices are very high and advice has spotty resulting in redo’s (at our expense) on numerous occasions, still, we hung in there. THEN the latest issue was a faulty damper that they had installed a few years ago. Constant problems ensued, requiring multiple service calls every year. The latest came two days after the last $800, chimney cleaning when the damper once again stuck then finally opened only half way. I asked for a final resolution as this could not continue. The response by the owner Mr. Beckthorn, was condescending , accusatory, rude and insulting, as if he was talking to a petulant child. He further informed me that if MY attitude didn't improve he was going to tell us to find another contractor. His final comment “if you have a real solution then propose it, otherwise, let me work”. I did .. and fired him - I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS COMPANY.

Chris and the team are true artisans. They are not cheap but if you want genuine, quality masonry work done on your home, they are the team for you. Chris communicates very clearly and often and the guys on site are also super engaging and nice to have around! .

The team from StoneCraft LLC did an incredible job restoring our 40 foot tall chimney, pouring a new concrete crown and installing stone veneer and new flashing. The team was professional and quick, going from scaffolding to completion and cleanup in two weeks. The cleanup was so thorough that other than the gorgeous new chimney, you would never even know they had been there. Very, very impressed with the professionalism, workmanship, and communication throughout the process.

StoneCraft was hired to reface the front steps of my home which had degraded due to poor initial construction and years of abuse with rock salt by the previous owner. As removal of the stone facia occurred, Chris's team quickly realized that the interior structure of the stair case had also severely degraded also. Chris immediately communicated the findings and StoneCraft's plan to ensure 100% satisfaction with the integrity and appearance of their work. There would be an upcharge to the unforeseen work, but this was to be expected considering the extra hours of labor and materials. From the time of initial quote, StoneCraft followed through on their word and commitment to quality of work, not to mention that the work was started and completed ahead of schedule. This team does not cut corners and has a well thought out vision for the completed product they are providing. Well Done !

We had hired another Masonary (I can’t even call it a company). Which destroyed the foundaion of the steps. We then hired Stone Craft to perform a miracle, and that’s exactly what they did. Stone Craft staff’s were amazing . They were so professional, gifted with their Masonary skills , so polite and they treated my house like if it was their house. They took care of my property like if I was a family member. I highly ,highly recommend Stone Craft Co. we are so delighted with the work that was performed to our home. These are gifted young men that work so well together. And I can’t say enough about the owner Chris, he really cares about his customers. Thank you so much guys for your amazing skills.

The work quality was excellent, done with highest standard of excellence in professional courtesy diligence in performing the work, and the jobsite was cleaned-up each evening after work was performed.

Kudos to Stonecraft. We thought the workers that came to our home were just terrific. We were kept informed of every possible issue as the job moved forward. We arrived at a solution to every minor bump in the road, which is inevitable when working on a house that is 60 years old. All of the workers were pleasant and professional. We really couldn't have been happier with the entire job. A rather odd twist of fate put us together with Stonecraft, and we felt very lucky to have found them.

This is the second time I have used Stone Craft. The first time was for installing flashing around my chimney after I had a new roof put on. The second time was for pointing and waterproofing. Both jobs were done effectively and professionally. Stonecraft is a excellent company.

I hired Chris Beckhorn, Stonecraft in 2018 to locate and repair leaks in firebox and basement wall from the fireplace, so that I could make my fireplace functional again. Beckhorn decided that I needed new crown, caps, & repointing. Following payment of approx. $3000.00 for the above, the leaks remained unchanged!!! Beckhorn then revealed a "water test" that he could do to isolate the leaks.....my immediate question was " why wasn't I made aware of this in the beginning"? Had I been properly informed and educated when we first met, I would have requested that the "water test" be performed FIRST, so that the leaks could be fixed. Beckhorn continued to deny his role in not fixing what I hired him to fix. I filed complaints with the Better Business Bureau, Director Mary Mahoney, and the Attorney General's Office, Agent Ric LeBlanc, with ample documentation. Following those formal complaints, which will follow him for several years, Beckhorn decided to perform a "water test" in August 2019, stating to both Agencies, myself and the roofer, Bill Mahon , who Beckhorn blamed for creating a faulty roof, he would "prove" it was the responsibility of Mr.Mahon. The day of the test this past summer 2019, I had several witnesses including, myself, a mason, and Bill Mahon himself. The test revealed that the roofer was NOT to blame for the leak/leaks. Beckhorn would not permit a discussion of any kind with me about him making good on the leak repair, in fact, he insisted that I remove the complaints from both Agencies. I not only refused to remove the complaints, but contacted both Agents and re:reported Beckhorn filing additional complaints. Beckhorn is dishonest in his business management, and has no integrity. I urge every potential customer to heed this true account of my distasteful experience with Chris Beckhorn and please, contact both Agencies to hear what they have on file on Beckhorn which will remain there for several years.
Response from StoneCraft Masonry & Chimney
"On my first visit to Eileen’s property I identified finger-width cracks in two areas. 1) The crown and 2) the mortar joints above the roof line. I described the defects to [Member Name Removed]and then immediately explained to her the real possibility that other areas could be contributing to the leak. These other areas, I told her, could be the flashing, roof, or chimney below roofline. I explained that I am targeting the most likely points of water entry and that more work may be needed to fully stop the water leak. I explained that this approach guarantees the least amount of cost to her. The tradeoff is that once in a rare while multiple rounds of work are required to solve the issue. [Member Name Removed]understood this and agreed that the crown and above-roof repairs work were prudent 1st steps. Unfortunately, after those steps were completed the leak continued. At this point [Member Name Removed]demanded either a full refund, or a repointing of the rest of the chimney for free. I reminded her of our previous conversations and of the fact that the need for further repairs was always a possibility. In order to avoid an impasse I offered a dramatically reduced cost on repointing the remaining portion of the chimney which she rejected. A water test prior to our work would have been fruitless since the finger-width cracks would have made it impossible for a water test to indicate other leaking areas. We did end up performing two courtesy water tests after the completion of our work. The 1st pointed towards leakage in the roof and flashing systems. Upon arriving for the 2nd test caulking had been applied to both those areas and they didn’t leak this time. It did produce a leak that pointed towards the remaining chimney below the roof-line. Importantly, neither water test reproduced a leak from any of the areas that we had repaired. In summary, the possible need for more work was always understood. I understand Eileen’s disappointment that the first round of work did not completely solve the issue. But her negative opinion is unfounded."

Would not recommend StoneCraft because the company is not an authorized Jotul dealer. Would only recommend going to an authorized Jotul dealer. Yesterday had a Jotul wood insert installed and the stove is leaking.
Response from StoneCraft Masonry & Chimney
"StoneCraft is NOT an authorized Jotul dealer, nor have we ever presented ourselves as such. We purchase directly from authorized dealers at discounted rates not typically available to homeowners and pass that savings on to the homeowner. [Member Name Removed]'s stove does not leak. Unfortunately her chimney does leak. This leak presented itself for the first time after recent heavy rains. StoneCraft covered the leaking portion of the exterior chimney FOR FREE in order to protect the stove and chimney until such time that [Member Name Removed] can have the leak properly repaired."

First of all, I was immediately impressed with Chris’s professionalism on the phone. Chris was very detailed with gathering information to provide an estimate on the phone and was very accurate with his final quote. The installation team was prompt and worked very well together. I am so impressed by this company and am thrilled to have found them.
