All your masonry needs from new brick, block or stonework.. Retaining walls..chimney repair..whole house repointing..lintel replacement..step cracks ..mortar matching..no job too big or small
"A Cut Above many other Contractors! We had needed brick pointing done on our home for a few years. We are also in the middle of a renovation project for our game room and that included the installation of a sliding glass door where a window was. The door install required that a steel lintel be moved up to accommodate the height of the new door. We were very fortunate that we called Michener Chimney and Masonry to come and have a look. They came out in a timely fashion and gave their estimate to us in just a few days. Once we agreed to get the work done, Jim and his team from Michener began the work quickly. They were professional and friendly and did a wonderful job on all of the aspects of the project. Communication with them was easy, clear and accurate. We would highly recommend anyone needing brick or masonry work to use Michener Chimney and Masonry. Thank you Jim for doing such an amazing job and keeping our renovation project on-time and with your quality craftsmanship!"

"Words cannot describe just how fantastic Evan and his crew are. I had an EXTREMELY dusty and dirty house that had sat empty for a number of years. It required a Herculean effort, and the owner Evan and his crew were more than equal to the task. Evan is extremely organized and had a checklist for what needed to happen in each room. He and his crew worked non-stop for over 10 hours the first day, and came back for a few more hours to finish the next day. Initially, he came over to look at the state of the house and gave me an estimate, but I recognized that it was hard to estimate and that the cost might go over a little, which it did, but I was fine with that because of the unique situation of such a disasterously dirty house, and because I witnessed first hand how hard they all worked. There was no goofing off or slow-rolling. They worked hard every minute and more than earned every penny. The only break was a quick one for lunch the first day and then they got right back to it. The entire crew are incredible -- not only first rate cleaners, but more importantly, first rate people. Young men of character -- intelligent, diligent, hardworking, focused, honest, extremely trustworthy -- and above all, they all take great pride in doing an excellent job (which they did). I almost hesitate to recommend them so highly as I want Evan to continue to have time on his schedule for me! I cannot thank him and his crew enough and look forward to using them on a regular basis going forward."

Expert house cleaning services you can trust. We are a small and reliable cleaning service with the knowledge to make your home spotless. We offer professional quality cleaning with a personal touch. One time, weekly, biweekly, monthly. Deep cleaning and move in/out cleanings are our specialty.
"The cleaning itself was great, really top-notch. Getting ahold of Ashley for anything (schedule change, additional cleaning, etc.) was impossible. I tried calling and emailing multiple times over 2 years. Responses were rare, and if they occurred it was generally so delayed that it no longer mattered. We have decided to change providers due to this issue."

"We hired them to do a whole house deep cleaning. 3 workers arrived, and the job took approximately 5 hours. The actual cleaning work was done well and it made a big improvement to our house. However, after they left, I noticed some major issues. A large number of our items were missing. I assumed some things had to be moved so they could be cleaned around, but I could not find them anywhere. Finally, I had to open up two of the three trash bags they filled up while cleaning. In these two bags, I found almost everything I was looking for. This was not a case of small items being vacuumed up, of us trying to hold on to items of questionable status, or of a group of items initially put aside mistakenly ending up in a trash bag instead of where they belong. No, items that were obviously not garbage from almost every room in our house were thrown in the trash. Examples of such items include: a doll, toy jewelry, markers, crayons, pencils, children's art projects and photos, bottles of soap and shampoo, clothing, a street hockey ball, a cat scratch box, the dust jacket of a book, and a door hanger. I spent about 2 hours going through trash trying to sort out items that were not trash, cleaning the ones I could save, and throwing out what was ruined. Almost everything paper or fabric was ruined. I made a phone call to discuss this issue and got a bland apology. I tried to follow up with the full list I made of items that were thrown away, along with pictures, and have been ignored. This is an enormous and shocking mistake. It happened throughout the cleaning process, it was not one screw-up. It took a lot of time doing gross stuff to try and fix and some things couldn't be saved. This is such a serious breach of trust that I cannot do business with this company again because I cannot trust that my home and belongings will be safe after they are done."

Chimney caps are necessary to keep animals, water, and debris from falling into your home. They also control the wind to minimize the risk of a backdraft. If you use your fireplace, a chimney cap is crucial to keep dangerous embers from flying out the top of your chimney.
No, chimney caps do not keep rain out entirely. However, chimney caps minimize rain and ice accumulation inside the chimney, preventing significant water or ice buildup in your home. They must remain partially open to allow exhaust to escape. As such, they do not provide a completely waterproof barrier.
Chimney caps can last three to 25 years or longer, depending on the quality of the material. Galvanized chimney caps tend to have shorter lifespans, but stainless steel, aluminum, and copper caps can last more than 25 years, making them some of the soundest chimney cap investments you can make.
Generally, the top of the chimney cap must be at least five inches above the top of the flue. If you hire a handyperson for your chimney cap installation, they can advise on the size and type of cap to purchase.
Chimney crowns—similar to chimney chase covers—are flat areas directly beneath the chimney cap. The installer reinforces the top of the chimney with mortar or concrete to shed water and provide a protective cover for your chimney, sealing the top. A chimney cap is still necessary to protect the flue against weather and animals.
