CNS Masonry's website says owner Nick Crocker began the business in 2020, after seven years with the same company, and that he has over 15 years of experience as a mason. A 2026 customer said they hired the company to install a chimney liner, and that it was installed professionally when they said it would be done, at the agreed price. A 2025 customer said CNS did some chimney work that was fine, but that a chimney cleaning they were told would happen automatically never came, a call that spring went unanswered, and a later promised visit was a no-show. A 2023 customer who hired Nick for winter snow removal said that when they needed to be plowed out for an oil delivery, he told them he was not coming, and that he had dropped them mid-winter without calling to let them know. On Google the business holds 2.3 stars from 3 ratings.
Hired them to install a chimney liner. It was professionally installed when they said it would be done, at the agreed upon price.
CNS did some chimney work for me & that was fine. I called next season for a chimney clean (which he told me would happen automatically as I was on his list), no call & no cleaning. I tried again this spring, no answer. A few weeks later got a call saying they would come out & clean my chimney. No call & no show. Get someone else, unreliable.
Hired Nick for winter snow removal. His guys donβt communicate with him, he gets confused. We caught Covid and needed to be plowed out for oil delivery today, when I called to see when heβs coming he said HE IS NOT, because last time his guy came (at noon, for 3β of snow) we were already almost done shoveling out ourselves. He wasnβt even going to call and let us know, just dropped us mid-winter and waited until we needed him and called him to tell us. What a gem.
