The company says it has been in business " doc_version: "2026-10-19" last_updated: "2026-10-19" --- # Creative Masonry & Chimney LLC **Trade:** Masonry · **Address:** 1451 New Britain Ave #29, Farmington, CT 06032 · **Phone:** (860) 225-9178 · **Website:** https://creativemasonryct.com/ · **Languages:** English **Rating: 3.9/5** (medium confidence) — from 23 reviews across 6 sources. 91% of sentiment-scored reviews read net-positive. Last 6 months: 2 reviews, 0 negative. ## The honest read Creative Masonry & Chimney works out of the Unionville section of Farmington, CT, according to its Houzz profile. The company says it has been in business 20 years, and its BBB profile describes masonry, fireplace and chimney repair, chimney sweeping and chimney cleaning. It holds a 4.8-star average from 65 Google ratings. A recent customer hired the company to rebuild and replace a stone chimney with brick and called the price more than fair for the work. A 2024 customer wrote that Ed planned and supervised a job to rebuild the chimney crown, add a custom-made cap and repoint here and there. A 2024 customer who called for a second opinion said the company completed the chimney job for significantly less than the first quote from another company. A 2023 customer said Ed diagnosed a leak through the chimney flashing that came back after another contractor's repair, and that there had been no issues since the fix. A 2022 customer described a chimney rebuild done ahead of a roof replacement: the old chimney was removed, a liner installed and the new chimney built with flashing and a cap. A 2022 customer said a wood stove insert was ordered and installed in a little over a week. The work goes beyond chimneys. A 2022 customer said the company repaired a stone walkway, and in 2018 a Houzz customer wrote that after a chimney liner job they also hired the company to repair a paver walkway and patio. A 2024 customer wrote that after the job, a reported problem went months without a response, and that the company did not stand by the warranty. A 2024 reviewer who did not hire the company said that when they mentioned the price was higher than they wanted to spend, a representative replied, "You can find some third world guy, they are out there." Connecticut lists its home improvement contractor registration, HIC.0614786, as active, held by Creative Masonry & Chimney LLC. **Strengths:** - Chimney rebuild — a recent customer called the price more than fair - Second-opinion savings — a 2024 customer paid significantly less than another quote - Flashing leak fix — a 2023 customer reported no issues since the repair - Wood stove insert — a 2022 customer had it installed in a little over a week **Concerns:** - Warranty follow-up — a 2024 customer said months passed with no response - A quote-visit remark — a 2024 reviewer called a representative's comment unprofessional ## Claims & citations Every claim below is backed by real evidence rows — uncited claims are dropped in code before publication. - Located in the Unionville section of Farmington, CT, per its Houzz profile _(confidence: medium)_ - [Houzz](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/fireplace-sales-and-installation/creative-masonry-and-chimney-llc-pfvwus-pf~1452367148) — “About (Houzz profile, the business's own statement): We are Central Connecticut’s Premier Masonry, Fireplace and Chimney Sweep Contractor.
