“I have over 12 years experience as a mason building everything from patios and retaining walls to chimney rebuilds, cleanings and liner replacements.”
“I have hired Brendan for about a dozen separate projects ranging from very large ( complete chimney rebuild and waterproofing basement)”
I Highly recommend Brendan of Avery Masonry. I had a contractor coordination dilemma, between tiling, surround rebuilding, plastering around the surround to create a new fireplace look. I also had issues with my oil flu liner. He saved me from contractors overselling work that didn’t need to be done and those contractors that where not able to handle all parts of the redesign. He became the “general contractor” for my project and did an excellent job! Thank you Brendan.
I went with this company because I can tell the contractor had a passion for chimneys. He was informative, detail oriented, flexible and reasonable. He did a great job! My wife and I are happy with his work and I would definitely recommend his company to anyone!

Brendan is very good at answering calls/ getting back to customers. He did a great job installing the fan, tiling the fireplace and hearth. Very happy I went with him. I would absolutely contact him again for fireplace maintenance and I would recommend him to others.
Brendan and Michael did a fine job rebuilding my chimney and adding a cap. Avery Masonry was very fast to respond, explained all the issues, and took just one day to rebuild. Brendan kept me informed and provided pics throughout the process. Very knowledgeable, professional. and personable.
