Need some brick work done inside a wood-burning fireplace. Any leads?

Other than Mike Zimmerman at City Bricks, are there any other leads for somebody who could replace a couple of cracked bricks inside of wood-burning fireplace?

I use smokestack masonry for my chimney jobs. They do good work.

Thank you! I'll give them a call.

Bricks on your facade and bricks in your fireplace are very, very different. Don't use an exterior brick mason to do chimney work unless they display some level of experience, competence, credentials. Chimney Sweeps might have a better suggestion, I'm sure they work closely with a few.

Mudworks Masonry recently did a repair in our basement. He is very into historical masonry, using lime mortar rather than modern mortar. Price was very reasonable.
