Customer Reviews
Beverley McLean
We’ve never had such a painless experience having a chimney rebuilt.
For the past several years my husband John has inspected the chimney on our 75-year-old house, shuddering at the thought of having it rebuilt when he’d found “cheesy” mortar and crumbling bricks.
Who to trust with the work? A call to Gavin at Heritage Masonry changed all that. Gavin asked why John thought our chimney needed replacing. “Because it looks as bad as or worse than the chimney on your website,” was his response.
Even when Gavin came to quote on the work his response was equally low key, saying perhaps it only needs repointing. It turned out the chimney did need full replacement but we felt peace of mind knowing a new one could weather any winter storms.
We found Gavin and his talented crew very organized, efficient and great at communicating what they were doing and when they would do it. John and I were very impressed with how respectful, tidy and conscientious every person was with the job—and our house and yard.
We were told in advance of arrival times, duration of work and what to expect. There were no surprises. We can highly recommend Heritage Masonry to do a first class job.

Chimney rebuild was completed promptly by polite, professional workers. Very happy with their suggested design and high level of honest information-sharing. Quick clean-up same day. Very confident recommending this company.

We recently had Heritage Masonry do a repair job on our mid-century modern brick fireplace. They were prompt, courteous, and did a beautiful job with great attention to detail. We would highly recommend Heritage Masonry.

Gavin and his crew just finished doing a great job on our patio walls. It looks amazing! His crew seemed to take great care in their workmanship placing every rock just right on the wall. The crew was polite, respectful, and responsive. I would not hesitate to recommend these guys to any of my friends. Thank you.
