A recent customer said Joe and his team redid the top several layers of their chimney after an inspection found loose bricks and improper sealing with tar, and that Joe also lowered their fireplace mantle. A recent customer said their chimney top was redone and lined at a reasonable cost, and that Joe is honest with them. A Reddit commenter in r/Connecticut wrote that Joe had installed a chimney liner for them the year before. A 2026 customer said a large company found a new furnace vented into an unlined, partially collapsed flue and wanted to tear down and rebuild the chimney; Joe said he could get a liner in without tearing it down, and did, two days later. A 2026 customer said a broken clay liner was sending furnace fumes and CO back down through the fireplace, and Joe picked up a 9 PM Friday call and replaced the liner with a stainless steel one in less than a week. A 2026 customer said Joe's team installed two liners and removed the clay tile, finishing in two days after quoting three. A 2026 customer said one of the big companies told them they needed $20-35k in work, and Joe did what needed to be done for under $6500. A 2025 customer said the chimney was taken down and rebuilt from the roof line up, with new flashing, brick, crown and cap, the day after the quote. A 2025 customer said their 160 year old chimney needed a rebuild from the attic floor up and a stainless steel liner, and that it was put back into working order. A 2025 customer said a removal and replacement of their front steps, begun 8 months earlier, left an unsightly mess and property damage, including hedges the owner dumped muriatic acid into after being told not to dispose of it there, and that they had not been compensated. A 2025 customer said the stairs came out terrible and he didn't finish them. Connecticut lists its home improvement contractor registration, HIC.0672117, as active, held by JL Chimney & Masonry LLC.
