Real Reviews From The Twin Cities
Every review below is a real customer. Hover a card to pause and read.
“Our 1920s brick chimney in Mac-Groveland was shedding mortar after a rough winter. MockingBird Chimney performed a detailed inspection and handled both the tuckpointing and crown repair in a single afternoon. Outstanding craftsmanship.”
“Had a rusted chase cover staining our siding. They measured on Monday and installed a custom stainless steel replacement by Thursday. Zero leaks through recent downpours.”
“Quick annual chimney sweep. Arrived right on time, laid down protective runners, and didn't leave a speck of soot on the hearth.”
“Solid tuckpointing work on our exterior brick stack. The top courses of brick were crumbling, but they restored them neatly and charged a very fair price.”
“Replaced our rusted chase cover fast. Clean, courteous, and reasonably priced.”
“Other contractors pushed for a complete rebuild, but MockingBird Chimney gave us an honest diagnosis. The brick was structurally sound; it just needed a sweep and a crown seal. They saved us thousands.”
“Zero mess, great chimney sweep, and very respectful crew.”
“The exterior brick stack was in rough shape with crumbling mortar joints. They ground out the old mortar, matched the tuckpointing to our vintage brick, and fitted an animal-proof cap on top.”
“Repaired our badly cracked concrete crown before freezing weather hit. Clear estimate, quick scheduling, and solid work.”
“Older brick homes need technicians who understand historic masonry. They rebuilt the damaged chimney crown and did flawless tuckpointing along the weathered north side.”
“Our old chase cover was pooling water and causing rust lines down the siding. The new sloped stainless steel cover drained perfectly during the last storm.”
“Great crown repair. Caught hairline fractures early and prevented moisture damage inside our walls.”
“Swept our wood stove flue and tuckpointed several loose mortar joints near the roofline. Punctual, polite, and left the hearth cleaner than they found it.”
