Escajeda Masonry & Chimney

I wish this was a 5 or even 4 star review but it's not. This company is a mess, we had 2 crews, the first crew did pretty poor work, the second crew was better but there were still details missed. The first crew put over 2 dozen cuts into my wood window trim and while they said they'd come look at it, they have since ghosted me. I have spent numerous hours repairing this. Project management and quality is left largely to the customer. You better know what you want and what you're looking at to get work done by this company. My historic brick is common but they didn't bother to source any. I could have done so if I had known. After 3 rounds I finally got a brick that was close but it took calling upper management to make it happen. The mortar and the terracotta patch don't match existing despite me trying to coordinate with them ahead of time. Bottom line is details are always someone else's problem. The parts that are good are pretty well done but some of it is pretty sloppy.

I contracted Escajeda Masonry to perform a chimney rebuild for the top part of my chimney. Overall, I’m not satisfied with the work that was completed. I went with them because the estimate seemed reasonable for the amount of the chimney that was to be rebuilt, in addition to the other work that was part of the contract, including replacing necessary flu liners, brick matching, and removing the black and white staining. However, the work that was actually completed was not as complete as I expected. Only a portion of the area that was supposed to be rebuilt was rebuilt, the brick matching was not done well, and only the black staining was cleaned, leaving the white staining behind. On the first day of work, I expressed my concern that the bricks samples did not match my house (they were not provided in advance as I was told they would be when discussing the estimate before going with them to do the work). I was told there was a range of color in the cubes and they were going to be blended with as many originals as possible. But seeing the finished product, the top of my chimney sticks out like a sore thumb with the non-matching bricks that were used. In addition, they drove their truck off the side of my driveway and into my yard and my hillside, putting large ruts into the yard that will need to be fixed and did not bother to tell me about it.

They never finished the job. I'm still waiting on a pointing job they will never do. Pay them as little up front as possible. They will do the work, but only if it's worth their while.

Escajeda did an excellent job. Fair prices and showed up when they said they would. Very professional and very good communication, showing up in a timely manner for the initial quote, scheduling the work in a reasonable timeframe (given their busy schedule), checking in with reminders, and arriving on time the day of the work. We missed one area during our closeout inspection due to the position of the scaffold, and Escajeda returned within days to fix what was missed. We would highly recommend Escajeda and hire them again, if needed.

Everything went very well. Their estimate clearly lists what will be done. They responded to my questions quickly and performed the work as scheduled. They set up professional scaffolding and did an excellent chimney repair job. Their price is also lower than the other estimates I got.

Escajeda Masonry will make you feel like you've acquired much wisdom in your life, and have extra to dole out to your neighbors. Couldn't be happier that I hired them. They did everything they said they would, on time, and up to or above standards. This is a top-tier outfit for home masonry work, and I am happy to hand them my hard-earned cash. I would definitely hire them again.

Company was timely in their responses, and actually did the work a few days ahead of schedule......nicely done, good clean up and would use them again

We purchased a home, and the previous owner had contacted this company to repair a leaking chimney. Long story short, some miscommunication, and this company went above and beyond anything that was expected. They first completely rebuilt a chimney, wonderfully might I add, then upon finding out due to someone else's issue, the primary leak was on a different chimney in the home. Escajeda Masonry & Chimney then communicated directly with us, and made the much needed repair, expeditiously, promptly, and most shockingly WITHOUT ADDITIONAL CHARGE, and stated to "enjoy your new home." There are still good contractors, and good people in the world. THANK YOU

they seemed to do a very good job.

Completed promptly and efficiently.

All employees were very nice to deal with. They came and gave an estimate within a day. When job started the y were punctual and professional. Did a great job would highly recommend.

Workers arrived on time, were very professional. Took less time than estimated.

He called me back right away and he came out the next day to help me get a quote. He actually started the work prior to me getting another call back to get a second price to compare. He is very professional and I recommend him to anyone. You wont be disappointed by his work. He went above and beyond by helping me with an insurance claim for one of the chimneys he rebuilt.

Everything was excellent. They did everything they said they would. They were a very nice company to work with and I would recommend them to anyone. They also offered free financing.

My estimates from other companies were much higher. He did a very thorough and great job. He ended up finishing a week ahead of schedule. Many neighbors have now started using his service. I cant say enough good things about him.

EXCELLENT service! Very professional....returned my phone calls, arrived on time, very polite crew, left the work area neat and clean. The work was actually completed ahead of schedule!! NO complaints whatsoever. I would highly recommend Escajed Masonry.

Justin Escajeda and his crew were polite and very professional. They did an excellent job removing the old brick and replacing it with matching brick and mortar.  They charged a very fair price based on our other estimates.

Escajeda Masonry was amazing. Justin was great at providing guidance and recommendations for materials. They have great attention to detail. Highly recommend them.

Went excellent. Not every mason takes time to match the mortar leaving obvious signs of a remodel. You can't even tell there was ever a door in that wall. Must call if craftsmanship is important to you.
