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!"

"Highly recommended, timely and very professional. Carl was very knowledgeable and easy to work with. He was able to answer all of our questions and walk us through different options, while being mindful of our budget. Just to highlight what all he did to repair our chimney. A safe working platform was erected. The old cap was removed and the brick was demoed to the flashing. All the brick was cleaned and relayed in tinted mortar to match existing masonry. A new crown was installed with custom stainless steal cage. The chimney was washed cleaned and sealed all debris were cleaned up and scaffolding was removed. We were so happy with the results. We would absolute hire him again."

"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."

"I hired Jerome to do a thorough cleaning of my sister's apartment when she was moving out in August 2024. Initially, he and I spoke about his cleaning her carpets and, when I learned he did apartment cleaning, I asked him to visit the apartment and give me a quote on both jobs. He insisted that he could do the job sight unseen the day before she had to be out of the apartment. Since I was pressed for time to hire someone for the job before going out of town, I consented to this and stupidly sent him payment in advance. On the day he was scheduled to do the job, he met my sister and told her that the job would not be a problem. She left him there, and, when she returned to the apartment, however, he had left having only done the carpets. When he and I spoke, he said the job was too big and he would refund the cost of he apartment cleaning. I've texted and called him repeatedly, and he keeps saying he will send a check. At this point, I assume I will never see the $120 he owes me."

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.
