Seriously. You will get no better. > > First, let me say my husband and I moved into our first home two years ago. Over these two years we’ve reached out to and hired other contractors to complete other projects around our house. We have NOT had luck with contractors in general… they’re almost always a disappointment. Either their e-mail and phone communication skills are terrible, they do rushed/sub-par work, leave mess and property destruction behind them, they make you feel like an unimportant ‘quick’ job between bigger and better clients, etc > > Working with Shawn at Brown Bros. Masonry was the complete opposite. After countless let downs with other contractors, it almost felt surreal working with them. Not only was Shawn incredibly nice and patient, he answered all our questions in detail, gave us advice outside our questions, and was lightning quick in his responses. Sometimes it felt like we were instant messaging with how fast his responses were. I think the longest wait between emails was maybe a day max. Can I just tell you- how much of a breath of fresh air this was after legitimately fighting to keep in contact with other contractors. Other contractors made me feel like an unimportant side job for a quick cash grab, or even completely forgotten with how little they cared to keep us in the loop and updated on their work schedule at our house or even choosing a start date, whereas just by communication alone, Shawn just made us feel like his most important client, even with how small our job was in comparison to larger clients. > > Before we hired, we also had a couple other masonry guys out here to give us quotes as well. They actually gave us quotes a few hundred cheaper (if they got back to us at all...), but their communication skills and the way they talked to us was nothing in comparison to Shawn. Having been down that road before, the husband and I said no way forget it, and hired Shawn over them. Absolutely, 120% no regrets at all. As they say, you get what you pay for, and the “extra” cost was 1000% worth the care he took into the job for us and how we were treated every step of the way. My new fireplace is absolutely gorgeous, and I have NO doubts in my mind that it wasn’t done correctly. He kept in contact every day of when he would be here to work on it, showed up on time every time, and kept us in the loop of what would be happening each day as far as progress. > > Even when the job was said and done, and we handed over the final check to him, he called my husband back to give us advice on how to keep more heat in our house via the fireplace opening, while we wait to buy a gas insert for it. Seriously, 15/10 stars easily. If we ever have masonry work in the future, I know exactly who I am going back to to hire. I will be recommending Brown Bros. Masonry every chance I get. **★★★★★ — HU-674489716, Oct. 2021** > Shawn was very easy to deal with. I'm extremely particular and from the start we were on the same page. Communication was a plus. He kept us informed on dates and completion was right on schedule. > Clean up was perfect. I wish I had more masonry to do on my property so I could hire him again. > Mike & Darlene **★★★★★ — kaimcc, April 2021** > Our experience working with Shawn could not have been better - I had a fuzzy Pinterest inspired vision of what I wanted and Shawn brought it to life!! The craftsmanship and quality is unmatched and we can’t wait to work with Shawn again when we are ready to build a pizza oven!! Can’t recommend working with him enough! **★★★★★ — Jim Melcher, April 2021** > I hired Brown Bros to re-surface my wood fireplace. They we easy to work with. Quoted a fair price. Showed up on time, did the work. Did a great clean up and completed the work on time. I would use them again for work any time I had brick work to do. **★★★★★ — claudette mccarley, Dec. 2019** > I’ve had a lot of construction and re-molding work done on our home over the decades of years that we’ve lived here...... and Shawn has been one of the best contractors I’ve ever hired.... absolutely without a doubt, bar none. He was extremely attentive to our needs. He and his crew were always prompt in arriving each morning with a big smile on their face, ready to put in a full day's work and then some. > > I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. They did an absolutely amazing job on our home and the finished work has given a tremendous added value to our home for the small investment that we paid. I couldn’t give Shawn and his crew higher recommendations than the compliments that come from our neighbors who absolutely love looking at our house from across the street. > > Would I hire him again??? ABSOLUTELY! without Hesitation! > > Thank you, Shawn, for an outstanding job done in a short amount of time. You're The BEST without a doubt!... A FIVE Stars Plus jOB...... I just have to say, we really Love you! **★★★★★ — Theresa Davis, Dec. 2019** > I very highly recommend Brown Brother's Masonry. Top marks for quality, professionalism, responsiveness and design. Shawn went out of his way to take extra time for design and product selection. Further, he worked around our scheduling difficulties by going above and beyond in all categories. We love the finished product and it was an extreme pleasure to work with him. **★★★★★ — cindip1980, June 2017** > We have been fortunate to have Shawn Brown do multiple masonry jobs, including an outdoor kitchen area. on our custom home, He has always been very professional and does excellent work in a timely fashion. **★★★★★ — Skye Homes, June 2017** > Excellent masons. I have used them for over 10 years. Shawn makes great suggestions on materials, colors and designs. The work is done quickly and neat -- as neat as a mason can be, that is. **★★★★★ — Terrell Garrett, June 2017** > We had Shawn build a replica of a very large fireplace in La Fonda Hotel in Santa Fe. Draws great, puts out heat, looks amazing. He was great to work with and we absolutely would use him again. Nice guy. **★★★★★ — freudenthal, March 2014** > Brown Bros Masonry did brick work for us after part of our brick wall was destroyed. They did an excellent job of matching the existing brick. They arrived on time and finished the job in a timely manner. They left the work area very clean. We were very pleased with their work and would recommend them for you brick work. > Richard Freudenthal **★★★★★ — vrunyan, Feb. 2014** > After having our 89 year old vintage house pressure washed and repainted we noticed that the exterior brickwork on our fireplace chimney was in serious need of repair. We interviewed several brick masons before selecting Shawn Brown of Brown Bros Masonry. We were very pleased as Shawn did a wonderful job of restoring the brickwork on our chimney, and for a very reasonable price. We highly recommend Brown Bros. Masonry a most professional and skilled company and crew. **★★★★★ — jj2984, Feb. 2014** > Brown Brothers Masonry- > Shawn and his team recently completed an extensive mason project to finish my outdoor living area and kitchen. This included covering a 18ft retaining wall, the face of the counters and a 12ft fireplace. His team was professional and courteous and placed every piece of stone meticulously by hand. The work was done on time and Shawn provided me material choices that were not yet wide spread on the market. Each time I entertain every single person comments on how beautiful the stone is and the quality of craftsmanship. I'd highly recommend Shawn and his team for any mason projects you might have in and around your home. > > Jason Strobbe > Outdoor mason project 1-14-14 > Look for pictures soon on Shawn's site as he will be out to take pictures shortly. ## Selected projects - [Outdoor Fireplaces](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/outdoor-fireplaces-pj-vj~81452) - Location: Portland, OR - Photos: 120 - Description: With each outdoor fireplace, Brown Bros.

And then they found us. We manufactured the custom color granite veneer for them and our crew did the install as well. What do you think? A: Definitely a lot different than it was before. Oh man...what crazy existing brick work that was. Great remodel. **Q: Simple fireplace update. Do you like it?** *(in Before & After)* A: Yes, indeed! Great improvement. Looks like the wood flooring was changed as well. Looks a lot better with the darker wood and the light colored fireplace. Great job! **Q: From "Man Cave" to Elegant Wine Cellar** *(in Before & After)* We recently received pictures from a client whose man cave was given a sophisticated overhaul with the addition of some of our Made in America mahogany wine racks. What once was empty space is now an elegant space for storing wine and, well, a few video games. Hey, our case bins have some versatile uses! We do offer free custom design so do not hesitate to contact us for any wine cellar projects you may have. No space is too large or too small A: Amazing! Great idea! **Q: A cozy family room -Mountain Cabin Renovation** *(in Before & After)* Completely change the style of your home by creating a focal point! Our clients asked us to renovate a few areas of their home. This before and after is a complete turn around! This family room used to be dark and lacking in character. Now, this family room is warm, inviting, and matches the rest of the home. The stone complements the wood, and the under mantle lighting and built in fireplace gives the room the much needed warmth and lighting. www.KingDesignBuild.com A: Wow...never seen this before. Have to agree with acm...dark colors around tv seem to take over the space. I do like the idea of carrying over the stone work to the window. That's a cool accent to the space. **Q: Fireplace Transformation** *(in Before & After)* This fireplace transformation acts as the dominant focal point to this living room. We transformed this old subway style brick fireplace with the timeless appeal of natural stone veneer. Fireplace transformations provide the perfect opportunity to mix colours and textures that reflect existing décor or inspire new furnishings. Fireplaces let you enjoy the ambience of fire throughout the year and can be used as a supplemental heat source for those cold winter months. A: Beautiful upgrade indeed! Love the transformation! Beautiful work. **Q: What kind of stone...and is there a website for more information?** *(in Photo Questions)* What kind of stone...and is there a website for more information? A: This natural stone was quarried directly by the vineyard. It's a local Oregon product. I'm not aware of any website for it. --- *Source: Houzz professional profile.
