Dutch Masonry LLC

I found Mark, owner of Dutch Masonry, after getting quotes from other chimney companies and being shocked as to the price and the short time period of guarantee of their craftsmanship. I felt I was being price gouged. I kept on my search to see if there was a true craftsman who simply stood behind his work for more than 10 years and wasn't just trying to make a quick buck. I was impressed by his customers reviews and previous completed project photos. When Mark came to give his quote he was a straight shooter, giving me the diagnosis of my current chimney's condition, why it was malfunctioning and what he could do for me. He also put my mind at ease in regards to "other pressing issues" previous contractors said we needed, which were expensive. He wasn't trying to upsell me. He guaranteed his work for life, his price was reasonable and the time frame of job completion was more than satisfactory. Mark and Trevor showed up just as he promised, tore down and built my chimney in two days. Trevor was just as professional as Mark and did a fabulous job. They left the project cleaned and ready for a fire the next day. In my experience with contractors Mark and his team are a rare find at a reasonable price for the quality and durability of what they do. I will be highly recommending their services to anyone. Thank you so much for helping our home Mark and Trevor!

Mark Pluijmen and the folks at Dutch Masonry were a tremendous help as we prepared to open our new pizzeria - we couldn’t thank them enough! We had taken over a space with an existing wood-fired pizza oven which, unbeknownst to us, was too badly damaged to work long-term for our busy restaurant. Mark examined the oven, and pointed out the damaged areas where firebricks had come loose from the interior dome. Mark then wrote an excellent letter to our landlord explaining that when bricks come loose from an oven dome, the dome becomes structurally unstable and cannot be repaired without rebuilding the entire fire box. This letter helped us to renegotiate our lease terms in order to cover the cost of the oven replacement. Mark then helped us with the process of removing the old oven and installing the replacement oven. Overall, it was an excellent experience and I would highly recommend working with Mark and his team. They are very professional, very good at their job, and very helpful to their clients. Thanks again, Mark!

We hired Dutch Masonry (Mark) to help us with our 90+ year old fireplace where weather and time (and maybe lack of maintenance) took its toll on the brick and mortar. We talked to three other contractors before I chose Dutch Masonry. After I met Mark, and his labs, I knew that he was the one for the job. Our fireplace needed to be rebuilt from the covered deck upward and within guidelines (as it was in a historical district). He found some dry rot behind the fireplace, communicated promptly, and was able to make repairs. He was very easy to communicate with and informed me of the progress along the way. He completed the job on time as projected. More importantly, upon seeing the work it is beautiful. We cannot wait to use the fireplace!! I would highly recommend Mark for your masonry work.

I highly recommend Dutch Masonry for any fireplace/masonry needs. Mark and his crew built a beautiful, outdoor rumford fireplace for us that has to be the favorite part of our recent remodel. He and his team were professional, timely, and communicative. They started and finished the project exactly when they said they would. I met with 6 masons to bid on the job. Dutch Masonry was not the lowest bid, but their price was competitive. And I felt Mark asked excellent questions and had the best grasp of the project among his peers. It was a great decision going with Dutch Masonry.

It was great working with Mark and his team with our chimney repair in northeast Portland. He is a straight shooter, scoping out the work that was needed unlike other companies that tacked on unnecessary items to their quote. They worked quickly and delivered a high quality chimney rebuild, leaving behind a polished workspace and final product. Would 100% refer Dutch Masonry to friends and plan to use them again if needed.
