We live in San Jose and had Mike Emerson rebuild our chimney in December 2011. I would highly recommend Mike if you need work on your chimney. The price was very fare and he was willing to work with me. He is very personable and shared that his company has been in business for three generations. He reused the original bricks that we had on our 1951 chimney and they looked better then they looked when it was originally built. I was not able to be at the home while he was working on the chimney, so he took some pictures and emailed them to me. Mike completed the work in a timely manner and left the premises clean. If I ever need any masonry job in the future, I would definitely call Mike. Mike did an excellent job.
