Mitch and his crew did a great job replacing our chimney above the roofline. They were competitively priced, on time, and went above what was asked. He made sure I was happy with the product along the way. Can't recommend enough! Thanks Mk & Sons! read more

Good communication with this company and they came on time to perform estimation. After one week, Lucas came to do chimney work . Reasonable price with great job. read more

Lucas, Mitch's successor from MK & Sons Masonry, went above and beyond. He came out personally to evaluate repairs for my chimney crowns and a damaged co-linear gas fireplace cap. Despite being booked out into next year, he took extra time walking me through the issues, explaining the mechanics behind each step of the repair, and outlining what he'd do if he were in my shoes. What really stood out was his honesty and generosity -- he reviewed other estimates I'd received, broke down pricing and scope, and helped me make the best decision for my budget and timing. You don't see that kind of transparency often. Further, his passion for his craft and quality were clear to me, and that masonry isn't just his job -- it's something he truly takes pride in. Lucas has absolutely earned my trust and future business. I understand fully why Mitch felt confident about passing on the business to him. Highly recommended. read more

This review is long overdue! I had to make sure that I captured how much I appreciated MK & Sons. After suffering a leak through my chimney that ended up impacting the interior of my home, I reached out to several masons in the area to look into repairing the structure. Mitch was far and away the most approachable, and made sure I understood exactly what had happened to cause the issue. He explained that in order to fix the job well, he'd have to rebuild some of the chimney and re-tuckpoint most of the structure. He knew this wasn't the most cost-effective option, but explained that it was the right thing to do to avoid any issues in the future. It wasn't an upsell; I could tell that Mitch was speaking from experience. His honesty and integrity were evident. Not only did he educate me on the project, but he and his crew did really well to explain why they made certain decisions. They had a packed schedule, but made time to fit me in when they had a short break. The mid-century bricks I had were unique and expensive, so they did me a huge favor and cleaned them one-by-one to preserve and re-use them. They repaired the flashing and sealed it extremely well. They even helped me clean and repair the inside of my firebox on the interior. The job they did was fantastic and my chimney is now a beautiful aspect of my home instead of an eyesore. Mitch is a true craftsman, which seems long forgotten in today's world. I'm glad to see his team is learning from him and working hard to pick up his wisdom. He continues to be the person I ask questions about for any stone or masonry questions that come up. Simply put, if you want the job done right, trust Mitch and his crew. read more

Professional service as usual, highly recommended! They also inspected the chimney and gave me improvement suggestions.

Mitch and his team are amazing! They fixed the most atrocious flashing job on a chimney I've ever seen. Unfortunately the flashing was on my house. I had a roofing company install the flashing due to a leak that was happening and what they did was just place another piece of flashing on top of the old flashing. My house is a nice mid century modern home with the chimney as the main point of view when you're facing the house - so basically it's the first thing you see. Mitch saw this and came to the rescue. He worked with me to ensure it's exactly what we both envisioned it should look like. He took something as simple as flashing and made it look beautiful. He also sealed and did some masonry work on my chimney. I can't recommend his company enough! (I posted this on Google too but wanted to make sure everyone knew of the great work that Mitch and team did). read more

I don't know if I've ever wanted to give a 5 star review more than for MK and Sons Masonry. They just completed a chimney rebuild for us on our 1952 home that had fallen into disrepair from moisture damage. Their price was lower than the other quote I got from a larger national company, and I feel confident their work is much, much better than what I would have gotten with the national company. Mitch clearly knows his stuff, and was super friendly discussing options and walking me through the work he was completing. Their team was on time, communicative, and professional; and they were really good about mask wearing when I was around (which is appreciated in these COVID times). I will never look to any other mason when the need arises, and I'd recommend MK and Sons to anyone. Need a mason? Call MK and Sons! Thanks for the great work, guys! read more

I was extremely pleased with the work that MK & Sons did for me. The chimney is transformed. Cleaner, brighter, sturdier and wearing its new cap. The guys who did the work -grinding out & replacing otter, replacing the crown, installing a glue tile & chimney cap- were a pleasure to have around. They were friendly and answered my questions happily & knowledgeably. They also worked their buns off. I was impressed. Setting up and taking down scaffolding, grinding, piping in the new mortar (it looks like a giant cake decorating tube), cutting the new flue tile - they stayed on task! They were respectful of my house & yard and left the worksite clean and tidy. They observed all safety protocols with face shields. Respirators and other PPE, incl. COVID masks upon arrival. MK & Sons price was very competitive. Communication on the project was clear and timely. Yes, there was a wait before you could do the work but, as I learned from you & the guys, this kind of work is weather dependent and spring temperatures some when they will. I always felt like I knew where my project was on your schedule and when the work would start & finish. Great job! read more

Mk & Sons Masonry - Before, during & after MK & Sons chimney restoration - Masonry/Concrete Near Me

They were FAST, perfectly clean, friendly, professional on top of being HALF the cost of the other bid (total was under $200 per fireplace). But in addition to this, I just got this place and it was build 'in a unique way', but they were able to figure everything out and easily explain things to me. I kept their information and will ABSOLUTELY call them in the future read more

MK & Sons just finished multiple projects on our 1956 brick home. They tuckpointed the windows, sealed the exterior bricks, removed a large brick hearth, closed up a fireplace opening, and re-faced the lower half of the brick fireplace wall. They did great work at a reasonable price, communicated well, and cleaned up nicely at the end of every day. It was a pleasure to work with such a knowledgeable craftsman and his team! We will be calling Mitch for any future masonry work we may need. read more

Mitch and sons/apprentices (Josh and Jordan) and Luke (third apprentice/helper), plus Dana (who manages the business side, such as appointment scheduling) are just awesome! I met with several masons for estimates and Mitch was the most skilled, experienced and knowledgable. He was not afraid to tackle the job - which was not easy. He had no fear because of the years and years of experience he has as a skilled mason. And he is not just an mason - he is an artisan, which is a rare find. I always seek out these experts, who run family-owned small companies - with many years of experience that can "walk the talk" and also take personal pride in their work (it's not just a paycheck to them). Josh, Jordan and Luke are polite, skilled, and hard-working young men and it's great to see how they are learning the masonry from their dad/mentor. We have a 1956 house with a brick type that was only made for a few years in the 1950s (you cannot get it anywhere - I did try to find it), but Mitch was able to reclaim some brick from an outdoor brick potter that was decimated by a blue spruce's roots planted there in the 1950s (if you have trees growing in exterior brick potters you should dig them out before their roots ruin the brick!) This was not an easy thing to do since the brick is pretty thin and it's easy to shatter it as you try to reclaim it. Also, he was able to use some spare bricks I found in the garage. He was able to replace the door and window lintels on the south side of our house that had rusted out and had expanded so they pushed all the above bricks upwards, so the brick was not in a straight, horizontal line. He got the bricks leveled out. He also repaired many spots in the exterior that were severely cracked, including replacing bricks using the few replacements available, as well as disguised the repair as needed, on multiple sides of the house, sometimes feathering with color to make it all blend in. He also came to seal our brick a month later to preserve it. Mitch has a great personality (mellow and easy-going), was always on time, called me when he, and the rest of the crew, were on the way to my house, and outlined, ahead of time, exactly what would be done and what it would cost. It did have to wait about 3 months (which was made clear to me upfront) for Mitch's services, because so many people want his expertise to fix their masonry. Repairing the brick was not easy, but he (and his crew) accomplished it. I think it was Josh that had the landscaping business and skillfully handled dealing with digging out a tree in one of the brick potters, recommended what shrubbery had to be removed to prevent future damage to the exterior brick potters, cut back some rhoddies in the right areas and spreaded the dirt from the removed planter to make a gentle slope (that looked nice and wasn't too steep) so I didn't have to have a bunch of dirt trucked out. I could not ask for a better experience! (Note: see "before" and "after" pictures I have attached.) read more

We trusted Mitch and his crew to tuckpoint 3 sides of our 1930 brick Tudor home and they came through with flying colors. Bid was not the lowest or highest of 4, but we liked the communication style from the outset. Mitch explained his plan, worked with us on timing the start, and updated us throughout the 3-week process. The crew was always on-time, worked efficiently, and did a good job of keeping the mess of grinding out hundreds of mortar joints to a minimum. They matched our unusual mortar color well and the finished product not only protects us from water damage but greatly enhanced the appearance of our home. Overall, great service, value, and results. read more

This is a small family business of Mitch's that has excellent communication ahead of time, confirms once more the day before, and gives an ETA when 10 minutes out. Our time was well respected, and son Josh was very knowledgeable about the work. The price was fair, and they are also able to work on the weekend which can be hard to come by. We will absolutely be using their services again in the future! read more

We hired Mitch to fill a space on our brick from moving a door in our brick home. Mitch was great to work with. He worked hard to find brick to match our home and we are very happy with the result. I have seen patches done on other brick homes that are super obvious but his work blended in very well. His pricing was also very fair for the quality work he did. We would definitely hire him again. read more

Quick response, amazing price, and came on time! Also, a family business which I'm so happy to support.

My house needed a chimney cleaning last year. I searched many service. Most chimney services were booked until January so that I needed to wait for two months. I felt like they may forget my schedule since it was too far.. but a lady ( I am sorry I forget her name)called me to confirm. I really enjoyed phone conversation with her. It is not related chimney cleaning service at all. A guy came to my house, evaluate quickly, did well. He made statements clearly what he can do and can not do. Thank you. read more

They know their craft and won't bs you. They helped us fix an issue caused by a different company, going so far as to teach me how to climb onto the roof and show me the issue so I understand, and we can't be more grateful. They made customers for life. read more

MK & Sons is an endangered species--one of those very rare small businesses that's of another era... an era where small businesses are run by a dad and his two sons, have been in the community forever, know the ins and outs of their craft like the true craftspeople they are, and are honest and transparent at every turn, never trying to upsell on anything big or small. They tell you exactly what you need, are honest and transparent in their pricing and communication, and because they don't upsell you, you're never taken aback when the invoice comes in. I truly can't recommend them enough and wish these kinds of businesses were far more common than they are. read more

I honestly cannot say enough positive things about working with Mitch and his team. They were transparent about everything; timing, cost, the process - you name it. Every person I interacted with was friendly, kind, and genuinely loved doing the work. This project started while I was in my fourth trimester, and Mitch partnered close with me to ensure the project would be completed before the delivery of my son. He even checked in to see how I was doing! MK & Sons Masonry cares deeply about the work they do, and they care for the people they are doing the work for. I would not hesitant to recommend MK & Sons to anyone. read more

I chose them based on their high reviews and the price of chimney sweep being the lowest of 4 places I called. They were extremely friendly, punctual, and did a wonderful job. I got responsive reminders and the entire experience was positive. I'd be happy to use them for chimney sweep or try their masonry work. Great people. read more

The entire team is exceptional! Mitch came out and gave me a free estimate and was able to get me in in under a week - Lucus and his partner were great! I have two fireplaces that I haven't been able to use since I moved into my house 7 years ago. The chimney cap needed to be replaced but mostly the flu heights needed to be adjusted so when I lit one fireplace, the smoke did not go down the opposing flu next to it and flood the opposite level of my house with smoke. They were so friendly and efficient and the work is beautiful. I will highly recommend them. I am a full-time realtor and deal with a lot of vendors regularly. I was beyond impressed with MK & Sons Masonry! THANK YOU! read more

Mitch and his team were great to work with from start to finish. We were restoring a partially dismantled fireplace to use a wood insert. Mitch was responsive with a quote, showed up when he said he would, gave us a date to start the work and followed through right on schedule. The cost was right in line with the estimate and very fair for the high quality of craftsmanship. We appreciated the friendly and professional manner in which the work was completed, with consults at every important step along the way. The result was expertly constructed and beautiful. Mitch's creative approach was just what we needed for our somewhat oddball project. We highly recommend MK & Sons to others needing masonry work. read more

They did a great job cleaning and inspecting my chimney. They responded to my request for a quote for chimney sweep on yelp with the most reasonable rate in Seattle! After we decided to go with them were able to schedule a date about a month out. They showed up early, wore a mask, and were super respectful when working in and on top of our home. I have no idea if the previous owners ever cleaned the chimney, but it was awesome to finally have a clean one! No more gunk build up and we are able to use the ash trap. They did say our chimney would need additional masonry repairs and would come back with a quote. We never received a follow up... We don't have the budget for any major repairs at the moment so we also didn't push for it. If we do decide to learn more I would definitely reach out this company given the positive cleaning experience. Would totally hire them to clean the chimney again. Highly recommend! read more

So friendly! I thought I had an issue with my fireplace, and after inspecting he recommended I try an experiment on my own rather than pay him loads of cash to find out nothing is wrong. I did it, and he was right! I'm still going to use him for some other things that need fixing, but I was so grateful for his honesty and helpfulness. It's hard to meet contractors that really, truly want to help you, and he immediately felt like family. read more

We hired MK & Sons Masonry this summer to redo our chimney crown, redo the flashing, put on new chimney covers, and seal the entire area around the chimney. They were on site when they said they would be, contacted me about issues they wanted to alert me to, and when I got home, I couldn't have told you they were there other than the fact the chimney looked brand new and the vent covers were on. They left no trace they'd been on site, but the work looked phenomenal. They took close up pictures to show me the work from areas a person can't see unless they're on the roof. The work is fantastic. I needed to ask Mitch a question and texted him, he replied within 15 minutes, said he'd come on site even though I didn't think he needed to, he looked at what I was questioning and explained what was going on. He put my mind at ease and he could have easily done it over the phone. Instead he came on site to look at it and ensure me the work had been done properly. If you need chimney, or masonry work done, this is your company. You won't regret it. read more

Mitch was wonderful and complete professional throughout the entire process. We had someone do some poor work on our siding made of concrete rock and he made it look great again/finished the job. I was very impressed with the way he had patience and professionalism the whole time. I would highly recommend him for your project. read more

Good job with cleaning chimney. Courteous and respectful.. already recommended to some friends.

We needed our chimney swept; and add a cap. We hired Mitch from Mk and Son's Masonry. Our house is old; as it turns out, there were cracks in the chimney and in the firebox. Mitch showed us the issues and gave us a reasonable quote. We had him do that work as well. I am so pleased with Mitch's work. Mitch takes pride in his work and has great work ethics. He was on time, kept us informed of what he was doing, respected our personal property, used drop cloths, took his shoes off, cleaned up when he completed work. Great follow thru and excellent pricing. I highly recommend Mitch @ Mk and Son's Masonry, (206) 533-3881 for any chimney services or any masonry work. He is very professional and has reasonable rates! read more

Mitch and his guys did an excellent job on our custom rain cap and tuck pointing on our chimney. During the work they noticed that our chimney wasn't flashed correctly and made the necessary corrections. I would recommend highly. They are great at what they do and really take care of the customer. read more

After a few winters of slower, smokier starts in our wood stove, we finally called MK & Sons to get the stovepipe cleaned. Their bid was very competitive and we were promptly scheduled. Josh appeared exactly on time (we hate that "4 hour work window" waiting time that some contractors use). He covered and sealed around the stove with tarps and tape to keep the area dust-free and vacuumed out 9 years of ash that had accumulated in the upper firebox chamber. He also cleaned up the area around the stove and was done in a flash. Now the stove draws great again and best of all, there was no need for additional cleanup in the living room. We highly recommend MK & Sons. Thanks, Josh! read more

I set up MK & Sons Masonry to long overdue chimney sweep for my friend's house. She and her elderly mother have had bad experiences with contractors in the past being rude or taking advantage of them. MK was great. They were responsive, on-time, respectful and polite. Can't beat their price too! read more

I have a great experience with this company! First, Mitch was able to do me a free estimate within a week even in high season, and give all the plan for chimney repair and found issues. The quote was very competitive. The thing which convinced me most was the level of experience he had and that he actually was able to formulate the issues and our questions even better than ourselves during the talk. At the day when I have ordered the service the crew came in time, and did all the external work on renewing the masonry in a day and a half, so that the chimney now looks absolutely like new (before it was with black/green moss between the bricks and some bad joints, and some cracks in the crown). Also, the crew was very friendly and readily answered on all the questions along the way. I highly recommend this company for any masonry work! I'm really impressed by their speed and level of competence! read more

I found MK & Sons Masonry on Yelp as I was putting together 3 bids for the job. His response was within hours, a nice surprise over the other companies. He gave two options: a repair, and a complete rebuild. His quote was considerably less expensive than the first quote, and his reliability won over the lower quote. His availability for the job was another plus. He not only communicates well with details and time schedules but shows up on schedule: the most pleasant and conscientious contractor I've ever worked with. Mitch is a true craftsman who obviously loves his work. Now the job completed, the bricks sealed with a 10 year guarantee, and the crown sealed with a lifetime guarantee, I could not be happier with my new chimney. The whole process exceeded my expectations. He's aces in my book! read more

Mitch, Josh, and team did a wonderful job tuckpointing and sealing the siding of our house. They were very professional, friendly, and take pride in their quality work.

Highly recommend these guys! Super prompt, friendly, competitively priced and did such fantastic work - so glad I went with their team!!

Mitch and his crew are true professionals! We hired them to add a chimney cap and touch up some masonry work on our brick chimney. They arrived on time each day (amazing if you've ever worked with contractors) and if they were running late, they communicated. The work is top notch and the price was very reasonable. If you need any chimney or masonry work done, I highly recommend MK and Sons! read more

My husband and I have lived on a lake for 12 years now. We have recently removed a 16' tall by 45' long hedge and acquired quite a bit more real estate to our back yard. We love to have outdoor fires, big 4th of July parties and pizza so, we decided it was time to look into putting in an outdoor fireplace with a pizza oven. I started first with Pinterest and researching what and how I wanted it to look like, what stone I liked, whether to have wood boxes and etc. I finally had all my details worked out and started to call around for estimates.( Most were very excited to see I already had a plan) I had a co-worker that was currently using Mk&Sons for a chimney repair and was very pleased with the quality of work and the fairness of price. I spoke with Mitch several times on the phone and by text, he was quick to respond with quotes and ideas. We were confident he could get the job done. Mitch and his helper Tristan were on time everyday or texted me to let me know if they were going to be late and what time they were planning to arrive which I very much appreciated. I approached Mitch about being able to pay for the supplies on my credit card so I was able to spread out the cost of the project and get it done sooner and he was very agreeable with this situation. He also gave us a bid where we paid some up front and then so much a week until the final payment at the completion of the project. We were very pleased that he stuck to his bid with no surprise overages.It was a long project in nasty weather but both Mitch and Tristan worked hard and professionally everyday to get the job done. I also appreciated that if I had questions Mitch was always quick to get back to me with a response. We had a sketch and a dream of an outdoor fireplace with pizza oven and Mitch from Mk & Sons made that dream a reality!! Check out our fireplace in the gallery of pictures. read more
