Fackrell Masonry and Construction was a joy to work with on our two projects. Bradley gave us a honest, fair and itemized quote on offered options. His personality, customer service and work ethic were outstanding, an almost rarity in this day and age. In addition to an aged 60+ chimney brought to new life, he applied his masonry skill and experience to an old Coal Shute, using a herringbone brick design to compliment existing window masonry. We wholeheartedly recommend Bradley to anyone who needs masonry work done for their home.

Thanks Brad for the fantastic job repointing our chimney. Your attention to detail and thorough work shows. Excellent job!

Hank Fenske

Brad Fackrell of FM&C designed and built a custom brick masonry arch for my front entryway. The job was started on the agreed-upon date and finished on the agreed-upon schedule. He obviously did his planning and preparation ahead of time. The cost estimate was appropriate and there were no extra charges. Job site cleanliness and safety were excellent. His workmanship was exemplary. Brad is accommodating and a pleasure to work with, and I highly recommend him for masonry work.

Brandon Kelly

Brad did an outstanding job! Great communication and very responsive. Brad even took the time clean up/repair our poor attempt at fixing it prior. Would highly recommend him for any of your masonry projects! Better to higher the professional!

Scott Fitzgerald

Fackrell Masonry did a great job for us, they completed the work on time on budget with great communication. We would recommend Fackrell Masonry to anyone in the area that need a dependable Mason.

Bruce Garin

Brad is a great worker, very diligent and focused. And plays with my dog.🐕👍🧱

Brenda Ballantyne

Brad did an excellent job matching a new stoop to existing brick stairs at our place! He also fixed 25 year old grout in our large patio so it will hold up for many more years. I would highly recommend Brad at Fackrell Masonry and Construction!

Outdoor fireplace looks like New! Very happy with Brad's work

Tim Pauls

I couldn't be more impressed with Fackrell Masonry. Bradly answered my initial query within a day, provided a reasonable estimate soon thereafter, and completed *a lot* of work over a couple of hot days. For quality work, prompt service and an admirable work ethic, look no further.

Daniel Rhodes

Top notch workmanship and professionalism. Brad showed up exactly when he said he would and completed our repairs. Good as new! Highly recommended!

Patsy Kendall

Recently, Brad repaired my crumbling, cracked and aging chimney. His detail, knowledge and work were superb! My chimney now looks superior to when it was new. He was extremely conscientious, from beginning to cleanup. He was considerate and kind and guaranteed his work. I strongly recommend Brad Fackrell for masonry work.

Dean Meer

Brad is a true professional. I would highly recommend his work as he did an outstanding job on my chimney. The original chimney was built in 1941 and now it looks brand new again. The job was completed on time and came in exactly on budget.

Anna Dillon

He takes going the extra mile farther than anyone. Such great craftsmanship and thought to what will last and look great. After he did repairs on our chimney, not only is it straight and going to outlast us, but it actually looks better than it did before. He resolved some left behind mortar layers on the bricks that made them appear faded at the top. So professional and every bit as affordable as people that don’t know what they’re doing. Thank you for doing such a great job!

Mowbray Brown

I highly recommend Bradley as the ultimate journeyman masonry craftsman! My 90 year-old two-chimney repair job was completed exactly as he described the process and bid it. He appreciated the historical district requirements and somehow his reconstructed copies look better than the originals did!

Cecilia Harrison

Brad communicated well during the entire process. Great finished product in a 72 year old brick chimney restoration. I would recommend him for a job needing done well.

Look no further if you need chimney work! Our chimney had several issues - many of the mortar joints had deteriorated, along with some bricks and decorative facings, (it was built in 1981). We knew we needed a licensed mason and were so glad to find Brad from Fackrell Masonry. He was timely in coming to McCall to take a look and gave us a very reasonable quote. Our roof-line proved to be a challenge to access all four sides of our very large chimney. We were glad he recommended renting a lift! His safety was important to us! We couldn’t be happier with the final results. Brad is a skilled professional AND a great guy. Thanks to his workmanship and attention to detail, we don’t anticipate needing his services again, but if we ever do, we’ll definitely be giving him a call! Wait, just saw on his website, he also does paving work - hmmm, may be needing him next summer.

Steve Zerza

From the initial bid to the completion of the project, Brad's comprehensive approach and methodical work ethic were much appreciated. Very professional and experienced. Highly recommended - in this case for exterior chimney repair and reconstruction.

Patricia Stiburek

Brad is an awesome masonry contractor. He is extremely knowledgeable. Plus, he shows up timely when he schedules a project. He always makes sure everything is completed on time and professionally. Plus, he completes the final project with care and always makes sure it meets both his and the customer’s expectations. I would recommend Brad without reservations. My friends have also commented on how nice everyting looks when Brad has completed the project.

Eric Elliott

Brad looked at our brick and provided excellent advice on best way to patch and seal. Extremely helpful and friendly service!

Peter Van Dorne

Brad does a good job and stands by his work.

marilyn ferree

Mr. Fackrell, is a true professional at his craft. We could not be more pleased with his business ethics. Everything was conducted with the utmost care and transparency. He stepped up and did more for the outside of our home than was talked about at the initial bid! You cont go wrong in chosing his company! MF

Jeff Kronenberg

In September, I contracted Brad Fackrell to repair my brick chimney. The bricks were deteriorating and spalling off chunks of the bricks due to age and weathering. The cap was also in need of repair, and a drip edge had to be added to prevent further damage to side bricks. Fackrell Masonry did a fantastic job in repairing my chimney. He was easy to work with and very efficient. It was hard to get access to the side of our house where the chimney is, and Brad made sure to position the man lift he rented so it would not damage our landscaping. Despite the extensive damage on our bricks, Brad did a fine job in restoring our chimney and cementing on a new chimney cap. After the project was completed, he did a great job in cleaning up all brick residue on the roof and other areas below the project. His fees were reasonable for the amount of work done, and it was my pleasure to give this project to a military veteran. Thanks, Brad!

Cory Samson

Excellent Chimney repair. Very kind, considerate and professional. Would recommend and use again on other masonry jobs.

Allen Jacobs

7 years after initial installation a small leak developed. Brad repaired at no expense, does a warranty get any better than this???

Jean Wuenschel

Fackrell Masonry replaced the stone on the outside of our cabin. Brad did superb work on the walls. He is truly a craftsman that pays attention to detail and provides a quality outcome. The company is easy to work with from material selection, the actual work, and billing. We are beyond satisfied and pleased with the work.

Michael Jacobson

Swan Valley School had Fackrell Masonry do two different projects for the school. First, they came in and repaired all of the mortar damage from ice build up around the school that was causing the bricks to fall off. Second they came in and cleaned up all the hard water marks from the sprinkler systems and then sprayed it with a sealant to help protect the school. The work they performed is top notch and this is a very good company to work with. They are up front, honest, and do what they say they're going to do.

Steve Cote

Brad fixed up our stone chimney top on this historic church and the job came out very well, finished job was of workman like quality and I'd highly recommend this outfit for masonry inspection and repair. Arco Community Baptist Church.

Stephanie Koppes

Hard to find anyone these days to do brick repair work who does an amazing job, good price, trustworthy and will not take advantage of you. My 80 year old mother has lived in the same brick mid-century modern home for 57 years. Her house is 67 years old and needed a little TLC. We went through several bids and contractors, and thankfully we found Brad at Fackrell Masonry. He did everything right. Met us in person. Walked around the house and looked at damage. Explained his process. What he thinks we needed. Took photos. Then few days later sent a very detailed bid with a breakdown of cost and photos of current damage and examples of other work he has done to show us what he will do. We signed a contract and set a date for repair work, and he met his date. Was on time. Made sure to lay down drop cloths on roof and on plants and patio furniture. Took him about a week to do a chimney repoint, whole house brick repoint and repair. He matched the old mortar perfectly and we are so happy with how it looks and the whole experience with Brad. We highly recommend him. He has been in the business all his life. Family business. And he did the work you would expect form all those years of hard work. Thank you, Brad. My mom and are so happy we could trust you with her house.

Jon Ness

He worked tirelessly to repair our chimney. Not only did he do an excellent job repairing the chimney, he brought it back to its original design for a house built in 1953. I highly recommend him for masonry work. He was a great communicator and kept us updated as to when he would be able to work due to weather limitations

Ann Braley Smith

Brad did a great job repairing damaged bricks on our chimney. And he was very accommodating in getting it done prior to a roof replacement slated soon. Highly recommended!!

Dan Roberts

Excellent service and workmanship done in a timely manner.

Charles B

Fackrell Masonry and Construction recently repaired and restored our 65 year old chimney. Owner, Bradly Fackrell did the work himself, completely restoring our chimney in one day. Fast, professional, easy to work with. Great communications all the way through the process. Brad adjusted his schedule around our roofing contractor and we greatly appreciate that! Highly recommend!

Spang

I will let the pictures speak for themselves. Bradley is also an an excellent human to have around the house

D Taylor

Brad was great to work with. He did a professional job on our chimney while having to work around our schedule. Would definitely recommend him.

Deej

Brad did an excellent job on our challenging mountain home chimney problem. It was crumbling and damaged from years of freeze/thaw/snow. The roof is scary to climb on and he did it in a day, reasonably. Thank you!

Connie

Working with Brad on having my chimney rebuilt was a pleasure from start to finish. It was easy to make an appointment, get a detailed quote, and get my questions answered. The job was scheduled within a couple of weeks and completed in the promised time frame. Brad focuses on quality, integrity, and customer service. I asked him to look at my chimney and my foundation, and his honest assessment was that the missing mortar on the foundation was only cosmetic and that the chimney would last a few more years. You can trust him not to try to sell a job that is not needed. He did a great job rebuilding the chimney so that it looks new but fits the historic appearance of the house. He even paid attention to little details that weren't really included in the scope of work; for example, my TV antenna had to come down when he tore down the chimney, so he managed to attach it to his scaffolding so I wouldn't lose reception while he worked! I would recommend Brad for any masonry work.

Frank Kaufman

I’m sure it was tough hard job that took all day. The work was excellent and cleanup was great. I would recommend Brad for any type of masonry work.

Richard H

Some limestone tiles (2 foot square) on my front steps started to breakup a couple of years ago. It was a relatively small job to replace them, but none of the masonry contractors were interested in doing it. Fortunately Brad was willing to do it. It turned out to be a bigger job than first expected. Brad did an outstanding job (quality, commitment, etc) including ordering from the quarry in Alabama that produced the original stone tiles 20 years ago.

Elsa Kracke

Bradly is a true professional. We were happy with the completed chimney. His team was easy to reach and answered all our questions. Service was provided in a timely manner and price was reasonable compared to other bids.

Mark Wakley

Brad did a great job, gave me an accurate detailed estimate, was able to do the job sooner than expected and chimney looks great.

Dan Goggins

Did a fantastic job with the masonry work at my house. Originally the mortar was a bit too dark, but fackrell made the extra effort to remove it and redo it, which took quite a bit of time, and it came out perfect! They made sure that it was done 100% right.

lynda simmonds

I highly recommend Brad. He is responsive, customer focused and provides superior quality work. I have had the opportunity to hire Brad on two occasions and will definitely call him for any future projects.

Tom Larson

Brad does excellent masonry repair work. His prices are reasonable, his quality is very high and most importantly, he is reliable. He showed up on time and finished the project on schedule.

Ken HIpp

Brad replaced the cap and flue on my chimney and re-pointed the mortar joint. I could not be happier with the job he did. Extremely friendly and got the job done in less than a day. I would highly recommend this company for your masonry needs!
