Premier replaced my chimney above the roof line. Steve and Lisa were super helpful in answering my questions and sending me brick color recommendations. The crew did an excellent job. The new chimney looks great and there was no mess or damage to my roof. It's evident that they do these day in and day out. I originally got 3 quotes and Premier was the middle quote price wise. read more

Premier Masonry is fabulous. We needed our chimney tuck pointed ahead of a re-roof and solar panel installation, but we had forgotten to arrange for the masonry work to be done before the roofing work started. Premier was able to fit us into their schedule and accomplished the work in time for the rest of the project to start on time - and the chimney looks great! We would use them again in a heartbeat. read more

Premier Masonry evaluated our two brick chimneys to determine if any repairs were needed prior to the installation of a new roof. Every step of the way, they were very professional--demonstrating competence while advising us what we needed to do going forward. Everyone was very respectful and mindful of our property. They were patient with questions we had and were cooperative with our roofer and painter since the schedule of everyone's work needed to be coordinated. They also proved to be excellent listeners and gave wonderful customer service when I expressed concern about how the flashing looked where it met the roof. Never did they express annoyance; instead, with respect, they explained the reason the flashing was applied that way. They considered my concern and made small adjustments to make it look like I wanted while maintaining the protection from water that flashing provides. I highly recommend Premier Masonry. Steve and Lisa, the owners of this local family business were terrific. read more

Amazing experience with Premier Masonry. Steve and Lisa were both communicative and responsive, and their team did great work. We had some repairs completed on our main chimney due to a water leak, and they rebuilt our gas furnace chimney which was in even worse shape. 10/10 experience and would highly recommend for all of your masonry needs! read more

Needed a chimney repaired/replaced. Steve arrived on time on the day promised, gave me some options and followed up with a fair bid. We set a date for the work and his crew show up on time as promised and proceeded to complete the entire job in one day. Frankly, they were amazing and I have never worked with more knowledgeable and professional contractors. Kudos as well to Steve's wife Lisa for maintaining a high level of communications throughout. read more

Premier Masonry Restoration - New chimney - Masonry/Concrete Near Me - Kirkland, Washington

Our house was built in 1969 and had the original cinder block chimney, which was so unstable it was barely being held together. I was referred to Steve by one of the roofing companies I was getting bids from for a roof replacement. Steve came out and gave us a very reasonable estimate to rebuild the chimney from the roof line up, install a cap and provided us with a list of twenty brick styles to choose from. That was the hardest part for me! Lisa answered my questions, provided me with a few photos and we ultimately went with the Pacific Handmold brick, which complements our new black roof beautifully! Since we haven't used our fireplace in over 20 years, I asked if she could recommend someone to come out and inspect our chimney. She made a note to have our flue and damper checked on the day of installation and there was no extra charge to do this for me. Pat explained what they were going to do upon arrival, asked if I had any questions and then got started. The work was completed quickly and as promised, Pat replaced a few cracked tiles in the flue and said the damper looked great. They took the time to protect our brand new roof and left the place so clean you would never know they had been here! I would absolutely recommend them to anyone needing masonry work. Lisa provided me with before and after photos, which I'm including in this review. read more

See all

Premier Masonry restoration is a first class operation. They do high quality work, left our place clean, and went "above and beyond" to get everything done right. Steve B, the on-site foreman, has 30 years of experience as a mason and it shows. He knows exactly what he's doing. I'd use Premier again. read more

I'm really impressed with this company. Not only did Steve and his crew rebuild my chimney, install a cap and damper - all for the most competitive price - his customer service is amazing. He's very responsive, professional and friendly as well. It's no wonder they were booked up for several months. I'm so glad I waited because it was absolutely worth it. read more

One brick is all it took for our project. Despite this being a VERY small job, Premier did an excellent job filling our brick wall with this single brick. read more

Steve and his crew rebuilt our chimney and did a fabulous job. Communications with Lisa were prompt and clear and they were on schedule, left everything clean and built a beautiful chimney for our mid-century home. The price was reasonable and I'd recommend them highly. read more

I had my chimney rebuilt mid February 2023, for the initial quote, Steve came out and took a look. Sent me a quote right away and it was cheaper than what I had anticipated. I had reached out to a few other companies prior that either ghosted me or didn't show up for the inspection. I had one other quote from a larger company that was significantly higher so I jumped at the opportunity to work with steve due to his professionalism and realistic quote. Him and his wife, Lisa run the company together, I am pretty sure and I dealt with her mainly to schedule the appointment and help pick out what I wanted. Steve sent me some sample pictures he's done to show me the colors and I sent over my top 3-4 picks. Luckily they were able to give me my top choice (Ashland), and we set the appointment. Once the date came around, 2 guys came by to start on my chimney rebuild (roofline up). They were quick and I can't even tell you how perfect it looks. Perfectly square all around, I'm in love! I forget the guys names but they were very quick to answer any of my questions and I asked them to be extra careful on my roof as I had just had it done a couple weeks prior. I'm very pleased with how it turned out!! My roofing company had recommended Steve and I'm so happy they did! read more

Steve was pretty booked up when I called, but my appointment was absolutely worth the wait. By this time I had met one other masonry expert already to assess my chimney, but I felt Steve was far more honest and really helped me to understand what I wanted for my chimney. He was also an incredibly nice guy. Thanks so much! read more

I very much recommend this company. I had 4 companies provide suggestions and bids for my chimney repair. Steve had a very creative and effective idea that was less than half the price of the next lowest bid. They were on time, fast, and very courteous. They did a fantastic job and I couldn't be happier. Give these guys a call, you won't regret it. John A read more

They rebuilt our chimney. They were professional, knowledgeable reasonably priced, and were done in a day with no fuss. They are super busy so it might take a while to get on their calendar. They only reason I wouldn't use them in the future is if I was in a hurry. read more

Great experience with Steve and Premier Masonry Restoration. We had a failing chimney that needed the section above the roof replaced. While we had to wait several months on their schedule, they held true to their word on the schedule and showed up as promised. The work was completed quickly and was a quality job. Their site leader, Pat was polite and explained all their steps. They took care to protect the roof and patio, and cleaned up very well when done. The price was extremely good and well below other quotes. All in all, I highly recommend them. read more

The folks at that his company are top quality and run a business exactly as it should be run. Excellent communication, quality craftsmanship at a reasonable price. I have owned and restored dozens of buildings on the national, state and local historical lists. I have personally performed nearly every type of restoration on every type construction there is. I have done substantial brick work myself when I could not find a quality contractor at the time or wanted to save money. Bottom line, if I would have found these folks earlier in my career (I'm retiring now) I would have used them on every project I had done in the seattle area. The masonry business in the NW is. Dry limited in skilled craftsmen and when you find a good one they are over priced and temperamental and often unreliable. The folks at this company are the complete opposite. They know their craft, run their business the old fashion way, with integrity. I called them on the restoration of my last project and my own home. I could write a couple paragraphs on what they did, but I am saying for brevity, they did a fairly big job in one day, came back twice on time to put in a bird blocker and then waterproofing. All done perfect and on time. We will be building a barn soon and hope to use them regarding a stone fireplace we're planning. Whoever has problem with this company, it's their problem in my opinion and you don't know the whole story. These are old school people that I can't find anymore because they are retired or dead. These folks go to bed at night knowing they did a great job in their work life and took care of their people as well as the public. I wish them all the best!! read more

Premier Masonry was one of the best contractors I worked with on our project. They came to do a bid on our chimney after another contractor told me it had to be totally rebuilt. He was able to fix the chimney without entirely rebuilding it, under the budget we had set aside for the project. I was really satisfied with their professionalism, timeliness and dependability. The quality of the workmanship was fantastic. I have asked for help on other small projects and have been thrilled with their work every time. Don't hesitate to hire this company. read more

In August, we signed a contract with Premier Masonry to repair our chimney in Seattle. We signed contracts and agreed on a start data of Sept 19-20. On Sept 19, I received a message that one of their masons had been out sick and they were unable to get to our job that day. They said to give them a day to work out when they could reschedule us. I called as soon as I was able and was told that due to the complexity of our job they would not be able to complete it this fall. She told me it might be better to find a new contractor. I then received an email saying they were withdrawing their bid. They never discussed rescheduling options with me. They never even said "Hey we can do next April". They simply cancelled. Looking at their reviews here, I have a prediction that they will respond to this review with a comment noting that they are a small, family-owned business and they try so hard but gosh golly gee they just couldn't do it. It masks the rudeness of the person who manages their schedule (she was brusque, not understanding, and refused to take any responsibility) and it masks the lack of professionalism that leads a company to sign a contract with a client and then cancel the day before they plan to start. Interestingly they demand a 5% cancellation fee if I cancel but they can cancel (not delay - outright cancel) with no consequences. Getting work done on a house right now in Seattle is tough. There is so much work that contractors and skilled workers can treat their clients as disposable. The only way this changes if is they lose business when they are unreliable. Homeowners, stay away from this business and work with one that honors their commitments. read more

Steve offered an excellent price for repair work on our chimney. He was true to his estimate and honored his Angie's List discount. He was very thorough in his explanation of the necessary work and took the time to show me the issues with my chimney in person. The work was done on schedule, despite it being done during two of the stormiest days in quite some time. I am very satisified with the final work, the replacement bricks are an excellent match and I look forward to him returning to do the waterproofing. read more

Waited two months for Steve to show up. Once he arrived, he took no more than five minutes to sum up the work (some stone repair), offer color suggestions and tell me I would get a call to set up scheduling. I called the next day to find nobody getting the phone. I then noticed the email which had been sent: They are not going to bid on the work. Why would a contractor send so many false impressions during a visit? Why wouldn't someone be up front and honest? These people knew what the work was from the beginning (two months prior) and yet they still felt they should waste a few months of my time. I could not have been more clear during my initial call, and have no apologies for the fact that the work was not a chimney and not worth thousands of dollars. read more

Steve did an outstanding job on our chimney and fireplace. His work is meticulous and the look is beautiful. I highly recommend Premier Masonry Restoration. read more

Premier Masonry Restoration - Mantle will be added next week. Looks beautiful. - Masonry/Concrete Near Me - Kirkland, Washington

We had a great experience with Premier Masonry Restoration. Our 70 year old chimney was causing water damage to plaster inside the house. Premier's owner Steve correctly diagnosed the problem and his crew installed a custom-fabricated chimney cap & vent. They also repaired aging mortar by tuck-pointing the entire chimney from the roofline up. The result is fantastic. Their ability to match the color of the weathered mortar on the rest of the house blew my mind. And the crew was super careful to respect the delicate plants and shrubs in our garden during their work. Now I can repair the previously damaged plaster in the house without worrying about future water damage. read more

I recommend Premier, but you should know what that means. I don't like just hiring people for a job. I need to ensure the people I hire are worthy of a long-term business relationship. That means they have to be fair, honest, good at their craft and that they stand behind their work. We had Steve come out and bid on our furnace chimney. Our house is a classic North Seattle craftsman from 1926. The old chimney was leaking from eroding mortar. It needed to be rebuilt. Steve provided a fair estimate, guaranteed his work, tried to keep the project with my budget and needs (no up-selling), and offered to touch up the inside of the chimney at no additional cost. He scheduled me quickly, between jobs. Patrick and Jose showed up on time, did the work beautifully and cleaned up afterwards. The rebuilt chimney looks good as new, inside and out. I am very appreciative of their craftsmanship! Premier is my masonry company here on out. I recommend them to you without reservation. read more

Premier Masonry Restoration - The rebuilt furnace chimney. No more leaks! - Masonry/Concrete Near Me - Kirkland, Washington

I had several masons examine our chimneys to determine what repairs were needed. The proposals that I received ranged from band-aid work that would have failed after several months to extravagant pricing that was far out of the realm of reasonableness. Stev'se pricing was fair and consistent with what I had estimated the pricing to be. He was very patient in explaining his recommendations and why he believed it was the best course of action. After being hired he and his crew were always polite and courteous, on the job site when they said they would be, and abided by all timelines that they committed to. Additionally, they cleaned the work area so that aside from two new beautiful chimneys, you would never have know they were here. It was a pleasure to have Steve and his crew perform the work. I'll be bringing them back to do the sealant in 30 days. Thanks guys! read more

We had Premier Masonry re-point our entire home + chimney this last winter, we bought the home and about a year ago and the inspection showed the mortar was in need of serious repair as the house is 90 years old, and bricks were coming loose from the archways. We got several estimates for the work, when i met Steve he set himself apart from others with his level of honesty, passion and experience working with Masonry, he answered all my questions in detail and followed him and Lisa followed up super quickly to any pre-job questions i had. Premier was on time with their start date, even though from original contact the date was months out due to their schedule being so busy. The crew were super punctual, showed up on time, were super friendly and it was clear that Steve's customer empathy and customer service is passed down to his lead foreman who was super helpful throughout the whole project. I was super impressed with the daily clean-up and respect the crew has for making sure we could still use main entries to the house, in other reviews i read they cleaned-up well every day but until you see how dusty/messy the job is you have no appreciation for how thorough the daily clean-up really is. During the grinding process we had a few of our origial drafty windows letting in dust, the crew was super responsive and ensure to tape the inside jams to ensure the dust didn't penetrate further. They tackled the house one side at a time and and cleaned the brick after pointing each side, the house now looks fantastic with all sides being refreshed to original appearance and mortar strength. They also did a great job on the chimney and installed a cap, so we are super confident with the stability of the large brick chimney we have. Once the job was done Steve came by for a walk-through and addressed any small corrections needed, he even had one of his guys repair a couple firebox joints with black dye'd mortar after me asking about whether i should address it or not, i was so impressed. I would definitely recommend Steve and crew for brick restoration jobs. read more

Steve and Lisa are among the most efficient and clear communicators I have met in the construction industry. The quote was very detailed and Steve promptly answered all of my questions. The team was very courteous and minimized interruption to my day-to-day life to the extent possible. The work looks fantastic and I am so excited to use my fireplace this winter! I would absolutely hire them again in the future for any masonry needs. read more

Steve really cares about his customers and doing good work. I had three people suggest the wrong fix before he came and remedied the problem with a new stainless steel chimney cap. He also has conscientious, professional people working with him. Thanks Steve! read more

I hired Premier to rebuild my brick chimney from the roofline up, tuck-point from the roofline to the ground and clean out my flue including some errant bricks that were compromising the operation of the damper. Premier did a great job. When I pointed out a few lose ends after they finished, Steve, the owner, returned twice and took care of my concerns without a question. These guys are pros. Hire them for your masonry needs. You will be glad that you did. read more

Our house was built with chimneys that utilized weathered /used brick..apparently quite in vogue when the house was built 60 years ago. Almost overnight the bricks started to crumble last year. I had 4 estimates done ranging in price from $5000 to $14,000. When lamenting the high costs to a girlfriend she suggested I call Steve at Premier Masonry . She had found them quite reasonable when they rebuilt her chimneys also from the roof line up. Steve's estimate was so reasonable I committed on the spot. His office staff was a delight as we signed and sent contracts through email. And the crew...oh my these guys were great. Fast and efficient both chimneys were done in no time flat. The workmanship is beautiful and we so appreciated the the job done we scheduled another bid for tuck pointing of our patio and front entrance. read more

I called Premier masonry to get a quote on a chimney repair after a home inspection uncovered some issues. Premier masonry was very helpful by scheduling a prompt appointment and provided excellent communication on my very complex chimney and roof issue. I ended up not needing them after all because I sold the house as-is but premier masonry was so responsive and helpful, I had to write a positve yelp review to let other know about my pleasant experience with this company. I rarely see such good customer service like they provided so dealing with Premier masonry was a refreshing experience. Thank you! read more

Premier Masonry did an excellent job on rebuilding my chimney from the roofline up! They even patched up some issues below the roofline as well. They have excellent customer service and do a great job in a timely matter, with very reasonable pricing. The team also took before and after photos for my insurance and it was exciting to see the photos, showing their amazing work. I am completely satisfied and will continue to use Premier Masonry and recommend them to others. Thank you! read more

This is a company that YOU MUST CALL FIRST! Steve the owner comes out himself and provides a reasonable estimate. He saved me money by combining the work with another job he had in the area. His Assistant is extremely professional and follows up to keep you informed and on top of what is happening with your scheduled work. Pat who did the work on my home today was equally professional and took the time to walk me through his work after completion of the job. FANTASTIC! The price for the work done was reasonable and for the quality of work was excellent! I have worked professionally for over 20 years with contractors on multi million dollar construction jobs. I am currently retired but if was still in that business I would highly recommend Steve and his company! If you live on the East Side of Seattle and need Masonry work done you need to look no further than Premier Masonry Restoration. I had estimates requested from 4 different companies recommmended by Angie's List and Home Advisor and I can say without reservation that I truly got service from the very best company and people I could have found. This is the only Masonry company I will use in the future! Thanks again Steve and Team, read more
