Great team. The true definition of family business. Very attentive and detail-oriented. High-quality job. Fair price. After completing the project, it appeared that our storm drain was overrun with mortar sludge and Jim came after hours to help me unclog it. Will hire again in a heartbeat.

JIm was AWESOME! Super responsive to text and phone calls and was sure to followup to ensure the work was completed to satisfaction. I would 100% recommend to anyone looking for any masonry work, specifically to repointing and chimney repair. His crew was clean and out of the way the entire time they were here and we're very attentive to our asks regarding our pets. 10/10 would recommend

These masons destroyed my gutters in the process of replacing chimney. When emailing them photos of the bricks in the gutter, asking them to return and clean it out, I received no reply. They were very destructive to my home. Their masonry work was very good, but the lack of consideration for the consequences of mortar and coal dust in the house and furnace that vents through the chimney they replaced caused innumerable problems that were very costly and damaged the health of those living inside. Awful.

Jim provided some re-pointing on my parents red brick house. He was extremely patient, worked within their schedule, cleaned up after himself, and did an amazing job from start to finish. Our next door neighbors liked his work so much while he was doing our house, that they hired him to help re-point their house as well. Most everything he repaired blended seamlessly to original house. Jim was laid back and no hassle to work with and I would highly recommend his company to anyone.
Description of Work: Jim provided re-pointing on multiple sides of the house were the was cracks and missing grout from the ground level to the 2nd floor. He also helped redo a portion of the front porch the is stone that was badly weathered.

Jim and his crew did a great job removing old blocks and building a new porch base. They finished the job earlier than estimated. I'll hire again when I'm ready for the next project.

Jim was great to work with. He returned my original call, showed up on time to do the estimate, let me know how long it would be until he could start the job (4-6 weeks), was able to do the job within the time frame (4 weeks), and completed the job on time. I was not home when the work was started - and Jim was professional in calling to explain what was done and that part of the flue also needed to be replaced. At the end of the day the work site was neat and cleaned up. A true professional that is a pleasure to do business with. I highly recommend him.

Response from Michener Chimney and Masonry
I'm very sorry that you misunderstood about the appoontment time. But, using vulgar language isn't very professional, and I guess it shocked me alittle so I do apologize if my response back to you was not to you likeing. Good Luck in getting your job done.

Jim and his crew did a great job! From estimate to job completion I was very comfortable working with him. I found him to be straight-forward and reliable. The quoted price was the price upon completion. Jim found ways to make the project more affordable without compromising the integrity of the job. The work seems to be of high quality and the price was reasonable. I have a lot of confidence in Jim for future projects if needed and would highly recommend him to others.

Jim, the owner, was on the job working and it shows that he takes great pride in his work to ensure total customer satisfaction. Jim and his crew were professional and courteous. Pricing was fair considering the scope of work and time needed for the job. Cleanup after job completion was perfect. I cannot say enough to express my total satisfaction with Michener Chimney and Masonry. Like with many jobs, scope can change with additional items (initiated by the home owner) as the job progresses. Jim was extremely fair with price adjustments during the job with clear and concise communication. It is not often that you find a real gem for a Contractor like this. I am considering some additional masonry work later this year, and they will be my first choice!
Description of Work: Replaced one large Chimney, 44" wide x 80" long (up from the roof line), cutout and replaced damaged used brick on a second chimney, with extensive repointing. Repaired brick columns around the pool area which required some re-brick work by at least 5-8 courses with extensive repointing. In addition, they repaired large cracks in mortar seams in various areas around the house. The total job took about 6.5 days with 2-3 employees

Jim and his crew showed up on time each day and worked quickly and professionally. He was patient as we re-scheduled a couple of times due to financial issues, but when the day came he showed up bright and early and did quality work. He and John were very friendly, they are very knowledgeable about their craft, and Jim even replaced the cap on our chimney at no extra charge when he saw it was the cause of water infiltration at the top. If we need further masonry done down the road we will definitely call Michener again, but according to Jim the chimney work at least should outlive him.
Description of Work: Chimney wash was deteriorated from water damage, had chipped bricks, and top of chimney had water infiltration and popped brick faces.
