In October 2026 a customer had Mason and his crew take a 1750 chimney down to the attic floor and build it back up. Next-Gen Chimney & Masonry, based in Colchester, Connecticut, holds 5 stars from 42 ratings on Google. In July 2026 the company rebuilt two chimneys and installed a liner on an old farmhouse, and that customer said the crew was courteous. A June 2026 customer described a partial rebuild where Mason matched the new brick closely to the existing structure. In April 2026 another had a chimney rebuilt from about four feet below the roofline with a new furnace liner and a cast crown, and called the pricing fair. A September 2026 customer said the owner took photos throughout and reviewed every step of the build with them. In January 2026 Mason came the same day for a blocked steel liner on the eve of a cold snap, did a sweep, a safety check and a repair of connections, and planned the larger repair for spring. A 2025 customer who asked for a chase-cover quote was told it would probably be cheaper to have their siding company do it, and in October 2025 another was told an inspection's recommended work was simple enough to do themselves. In November 2023 a customer wrote that the chimney leaked from every seam and called it a 1200 dollar lesson. In June 2024 a customer wrote that the project turned out terrible and different from what was proposed. The company holds Connecticut home improvement contractor registration HIC.0669768, active on the state registry under Next-Gen Chimney & Masonry LLC, and its site says it has been in business 10 years. In a 2023 HomeAdvisor review, a customer described Mason and his crew taking care of a decayed 10-year-old brick patio.
We couldn’t be happier with the great work. Brought our 1750 chimney down to attic floor and built it back up more beautifully than ever! Can’t say enough about how impressed we are and continue to be with the results. Thanks Mason and crew 🙏 (white plaster shots are before!) we can’t recommend them enough!
Mason and his team were incredible to work with. Great communication and got out to the house very quickly. Would highly recommend for any chimney work.
Highly recommend Next-Gen Chimney!! The owner and crew were so professional and did an amazing job rebuilding my chimney. The quality of the work was top notch. The owner took photos throughout the process and reviewed every step in the build with me. I love the new chimney and am so happy with Next-Gen.
Very responsive. Fit us in to accommodate our schedule. Great group of friendly, hardworking and honest guys! Completed work as promised!
Received a recommendation for Next Gen Chimney from another local contractor and his reputation matched the work he delivered. Mason, the owner, is very knowledgeable, friendly, reliable, and flexible. He provided practical recommendations on how to repair/refurbish our chimneys, while staying on a budget and explaining the underlying principles driving the recommendations. We highly recommend Next Gen Chimney!
