5 Best Masonry Contractors in Seattle (2026)

Independently ranked by our review of ratings, reviews and reputation · How we chose

Brad Smith
By Brad Smith, Home Services Expert · ✓ Data verified July 2026 · 8 min read

A cracked chimney or a failing foundation wall isn't the kind of job you hand to whoever answers first. We compared every masonry contractor in Seattle with a real Google track record and ranked the five that homeowners rate most highly for brick, stone, chimney, and foundation work.

Short answer: A1 Chimney leads the list, holding a perfect 5.0 rating across 75 reviews for chimney and fireplace work praised for fair quotes and warrantied repairs. Bogdan Masonry (4.9, 73 reviews) is the pick for stone veneer and brick, while Embassy and Expert Masonry both cover foundation repair and waterproofing. Chimney repairs commonly run from a few hundred dollars for a service to a few thousand for a rebuild, so get more than one quote.

Our five picks, reviewed

A1 Chimney logo
#1 Overall🕑 Open 6 days/wk↩ Responds to reviews

A1 Chimney

5.075 Google reviews

A1 Chimney is a Seattle masonry and chimney contractor that handles fireplace replacements, chimney sweeping, wood-stove removal, and flue installation. Reviewers describe a hands-on lead named Tal who gives reasonable quotes, works around client schedules, and backs the work with a warranty. Several jobs in the reviews go beyond a simple sweep, from swapping out a heavy old wood stove to getting a gas fireplace running again after a home inspection flagged it.

What people praise

  • Competitive quotes, often the most reasonable of several bids
  • Work comes with a warranty
  • Flexible scheduling that works around the homeowner
  • Careful, clean crews who cover walkways and protect the space
  • Handles sweeps, replacements, and flue installs, not just one service

Worth knowing

  • The focus is chimneys and fireplaces, so ask about scope for broader brick or stone jobs

Our take: A close second on a 4.9. If your job is traditional bricklaying or stone veneer rather than a chimney sweep, this is the specialist to call.

How we ranked these contractors

Every figure here comes straight from Google. Rating is the live star average; review volume is how many customers rated the contractor, weighed against the rest of Seattle; confidence blends the two, so a strong score backed by more reviews carries further than the same score on a handful. We also track how recently people keep reviewing. No contractor can pay us to move any of these numbers. Masonry is a lower-volume trade than, say, plumbing, so review counts here are smaller and confidence reads as early across the board.

What does masonry work cost in Seattle? (2026)

Masonry pricing swings widely with the job. A chimney sweep or minor repair is a few hundred dollars, while a full chimney rebuild, foundation repair, or a stone-veneer facade runs into the thousands, driven by access, materials, and how much structure has to be rebuilt. The ranges below are general national figures for guidance; get a written on-site quote for your specific job.

JobTypical price
Chimney sweep or minor repair$160 - $750
Chimney rebuild$1,000 - $3,500
Brick repointing / tuckpointing$10 - $25 per sq ft
Foundation crack repair$250 - $800

Ranges compiled July 2026 from national contractor pricing guides including HomeGuide and Angi; local Seattle quotes vary by job and access.

Where these contractors work

The five cover Seattle and its northern and eastern suburbs: A1 Chimney and Embassy work out of downtown Seattle, Expert and Seattle Elite share an address on 1st Ave W in lower Queen Anne, and Bogdan runs jobs from Mountlake Terrace through the north end, with several reviews out in Shoreline and Bellevue. If you’re searching for a masonry contractor near me in Seattle, most of these will come out to assess before quoting, so confirm they cover your neighborhood when you call.

What to ask before you hire a masonry contractor

  • Are you licensed, bonded, and insured in Washington?
  • Is the work warrantied, and for how long?
  • Will you assess on site before giving a firm quote?
  • For foundation jobs, will you excavate to confirm the root cause?
  • Can you show photos or references from similar Seattle jobs?
  • How do you protect existing finishes and handle cleanup?

Frequently asked questions

Are these rankings paid?

No. The order comes from public Google data: live ratings and review volume. A contractor can pay to be a Featured Partner, which adds a badge and placement, but that never changes another contractor’s score or where it lands.

How did you choose these five?

We compared every Seattle masonry contractor with a real Google track record, then ranked on rating, review volume, confidence, and recency. Masonry is a smaller trade, so review counts here are lower than in high-volume categories.

Which is best for a chimney versus a foundation?

A1 Chimney and Bogdan Masonry are the truest picks for chimney, brick, and stone work, while Embassy, Expert, and Seattle Elite lean toward foundation repair and waterproofing. Match the contractor to your specific job.

Should I get more than one quote?

Yes. Several reviews here mention wide gaps between bids on the same job, with the eventual winner coming in well under competitors. Two or three on-site quotes is a sensible baseline for structural masonry.

How often is this page updated?

We last verified these ratings and review counts in July 2026 and refresh them as the Google data changes.

The bottom line

For chimney and fireplace work, A1 Chimney is the safe default, with Bogdan close behind for stone and brick. If your problem is a cracked foundation or a leaking basement wall instead, Embassy and Expert are built for exactly that, and whichever you choose, get the assessment and price in writing before work starts.
