Creative came to the house on time and did a great job. Trustworthy company
We hired Creative Masonry to rebuild and replace our stone chimney with brick and had a great experience. Ed and his team were reliable, professional, and the communication was excellent from start to finish. The quality of their work truly speaks for itself and their price was more than fair for the work we had done. I would absolutely recommend their services
I recently hired Creative Masonry for a much-needed chimney repair on my relative's home, and I couldn't be more impressed with the results. Their team was professional, punctual, and incredibly skilled, addressing everything from cracked bricks to mortar issues with meticulous attention to detail. I highly recommend.
We called Creative Masonry for a second opinion after receiving an astronomical quote for chimney repair from another company. When the crew came out to look at our chimney they told us that our chimney was in much better shape than the original company had let us to believe. they were able to complete the job for significantly less than the first quote we got. The crew was knowledgeable and professional and we were very happy with their work.
I needed to rebuild the chimney crown, add a custom-made cap to cover it, and repoint/repair here and there. Ed planned and supervised the project carefully, answered questions promptly, and took time to discuss options and to anticipate potential issues. The crew executed the job neatly and expertly, worked around various impediments, and paid attention to details that will further extend the chimney's lifespan. This is a company of real pros, who exceeded expectations.
