OUR TEAM


Todd Lemense the owner of Five Star Chimney Repair

Todd

Owner

Todd lives by the advice that everything is fine until it isn’t – a stoic piece of wisdom that he has found very useful throughout his life. If Todd wasn’t a chimney expert, he would be a professional storyteller, reading from the annals of history on a stage somewhere.

Susan

General Manager

Susan is a dedicated mother of two grown children, with a daughter serving in the Air Force and a son in real estate. If she won the lottery today, Susan would open a lavish resort on a tropical island. However, she would definitely continue working at Five Star (wink wink).

Max

Master Mason

Max is a proud father of two grown, successful children. He also loves to cook, and if he wasn’t so darn good at his chimney job, he would be a professional sushi chef with his own restaurant and cooking show on Netflix.

Chris

Mason

Chris is the proud father of a three-year-old daughter. As a youngster, Chris was convinced he would simultaneously play for the Los Angeles Lakers as a point guard and as the quarterback for the Alabama Crimson Tide.

Nathan

Mason

Nathan is a father to an amazing two-year-old daughter, with another daughter on the way. If Nathan was a superhero, he would be The Flash due to his boundless energy – something that will soon come in handy with two toddlers in the house.

Steven

Technician

Steve grew up as one of nine siblings. If he could invent a holiday, it would be based around kindness and relaxation – and it would last 365 days a year.

Chance

Mason

To Chance, there’s nothing quite like standing back and admiring a chimney he’s meticulously crafted, knowing that every brick is perfectly laid. Seeing a homeowner’s smile and hearing their appreciation after a particularly challenging project reinforces the pride he takes in the craft, knowing the work not only meets – but exceeds – the expectations of those who entrust Five Star with their homes.

Jhoan

Project Manager

Jhoan is a studious project manager and public speaker. She is also a devoted cat mom who adores their quirky personalities, cozy snuggles, and comforting purrs. She firmly believes that cats are the best (no offense to dogs).

Billy

Mason

The best piece of advice Billy has ever been given is to live in the moment and cherish the people around you. This simple yet profound guidance has profoundly shaped how he approaches each day, reminding him to savor every interaction with family and friends.

Dane

Mason

With a keen eye for detail and a passion for design, Dane has established himself as a leading Chimney Fireplace Mason. Known for his clean and fast work, Dane consistently delivers exceptional craftsmanship, while exceeding client expectations. His dedication to quality and efficiency ensures that every project is completed to the highest standard. Dane’s expertise and commitment to excellence make him a trusted professional in the masonry industry.

Sean

Brick Mason

Sean is a dedicated father to three wonderful children, who are the heart of his world and the focus of all his free time. Balancing his roles as a proud dad and a skilled brick mason, Sean finds his passion in building – whether it’s strong family bonds or strong structures.
