Does anyone know of a good mason in eastern Ct, someone who will actually show up and write up an estimate when he says he will...
I talked to B.W. Dexter, and they referred me to one who actually sent me a bid, but I don't want to build a chimney on just a single quote. esp a 5700 dollar one.
Part of me wants to put the damn thing up myself. However, I'm a Freemason not a mason, and I don't want my first exploration into bricklaying to be on something so critical.

I did see some civil cases on the CT online court web site ... B.W. Dexter search .....
[This case is a paperless file] HHD-CV14-6051075-S SUPERIOR PRODUCTS DISTRIBUTORS, INC. v. B.W. DEXTER II, INC.
Was one that would concern me using them as a contractor

Probably one of the best know Contractors in the state. If that's all that came up , then I wouldn't worry about them giving me a referral to someone that could help.

Well, they are much too big to build a chimney for me, the mason they referred to me is a separate company. The spot where I'm adding the Chimney is on the porch, so there is a great deal of hand digging in the quote, which would account for a great deal of the cost. I replied to the fellow that I'd rather dig the hole myself and present him with a work-ready job site.

A good idea. When I looked into new AC .. I got quotes of 8-10K ... I tore out the old stuff and got new quotes .. 4K ... sweet and easy.confedsailor wrote:Well, they are much too big to build a chimney for me, the mason they referred to me is a separate company.
