I started in the Masonry business in 1976 and have been working ever since. I started my business in 1980 and incorporated in 1986. We are a small company with an experienced crew. They've all worked with me for the last 20 years. Experienced with working with condo associations and large building tuck pointing, brickwork, and stone work.
"In Aug./Sep. 2019, Rogers Masonry did a tear-down of our decrepit stuccoed chimney, followed by a beautiful brick re-build. The project posed some every unique challenges that Roger handled with a high level of professionalism and diligence. He is exceptionally knowledgeable in all chimney-related matters and provided almost-daily progress reports to document the work his crew was performing. His communication was exemplary, and he was responsive to our questions/concerns, all of which he promptly addressed. We were especially appreciative of the many pictures of the ongoing work that Roger provided throughout the project. We have already had the opportunity to make a referral for Roger and hope to work with him on another chimney project in 2020."

Envision Fire also specializes in the Gas Fireplace industry. Repair-Maintain-Sales-Install on all makes and models. We also do stone facing and any mason repair or project.
"We were delighted by the work of Chad and Nicole. We converted a wood burning fireplace in our lower level to gas logs. The upstairs fireplace has an insert which they removed with care only to find the installers of the insert (not Envision) placed it on a plywood base (not a good mix - heat and wood). So in addition to installing the gas line with precision and getting us a log set that is beautiful, they reset the inert on cement board and made the house safer. Envision is awesome. Their prices are great and worth every penny."

Our company provides quality work and quality pricing for window cleaning, gutter cleaning, pressure washing and holiday lighting . We are driven to provide an amazing experience for our customers from start to finish.
"If only all the people we hire to do work in and around our home could be as professional, personable, honest, and efficient as Matt and his partner Daniel. As a result of our previous positive experience with Matt when he cleaned our gutters, we didn't hesitate to contact him for window cleaning. He responded immediately and was able to fit us in to the schedule for the next day. We have a somewhat complicated window set-up. But he and Daniel were still able to clean our windows and screens inside and out. We also asked them about pressure washing our deck and flagstone patio. But after assessing both, they made suggestions for more appropriate solutions. It was a pleasure working with them. And we have sparkling clear windows!"

Yes, many people find hiring a cleaning service to be a worthwhile investment. A professional cleaner frees up hours you’d spend scrubbing floors and usually delivers a deeper result than a quick DIY pass. If you juggle family schedules, host guests, or simply value your weekends, the fee can be money well spent. Regular visits also protect finishes by using the right products on every surface. In short, you’re buying both a cleaner home and extra time in your day.
Start by comparing quotes and asking about recurring‑service discounts, as many companies drop their rate by $5 to $10 per visit when you schedule weekly or biweekly cleanings. Bundling tasks, such as window or appliance cleaning, into one appointment also reduces the trip fee. If your home needs only light upkeep, hire an independent cleaner and reserve a company for deep cleans. Tackling easy chores yourself keeps paid hours down without sacrificing a professional finish.
For one‑time or occasional jobs, plan to tip 10% to 20% of the total bill. Hand the gratuity directly to your cleaner or leave it in a labeled envelope if you won’t be home. When a crew tackles the work, split the tip evenly among team members. Routine weekly service usually doesn’t require a tip every visit, but many homeowners give a larger holiday bonus to show appreciation for consistent care.
Most companies arrive with commercial‑grade vacuums, microfiber cloths, and standard cleansers, so you don’t have to stock anything. Others ask you to provide basic tools or specialty products, especially if you prefer eco‑friendly or fragrance‑free solutions. Always confirm what’s included during the quote. If you have marble counters, for example, make sure the pro brings a stone‑safe cleaner or have it ready yourself to avoid accidental etching.
A routine cleaning of an average‑size home generally takes one to three hours. Deep cleans—scrubbing grout, wiping baseboards, moving furniture—stretch to three to six hours. A thorough move‑out service can run four to eight hours because every cabinet, drawer, and appliance needs attention. Square footage, clutter level, and the number of cleaners on the crew ultimately dictate the time frame, so ask for an estimate when you book.
