"After purchasing the deal online late Sat 10/24/15 I received an email from the owner Jan telling me someone could perform the service Monday 10/26/15. I was pleased. The technician arrived on Monday. I will spare the technician the embarrassment of most of the details but I was told that I needed a new gas valve...it did not go well. So much so that I called the owner to tell him we would not be doing business and that I would ask for a refund from Angie's list. He politely asked for details since this technician was a new hire and that as a business owner it was important to him. After my explanation he asked if he could please send another technician out the following morning free of charge as he wanted to make this right. I agreed. A gentleman named Greg arrived at 9:30 and was directed to my fireplace. I told him to have at it as I would continue my housework and be within ear shot. At 9:50 Greg called me into the room and said everything was ready to go explaining that a safety feature had been enabled. I couldn't believe it! I was quickly reminded how important it is to speak directly with a business owner in these situations. So now, not only does Jan's company have my future business for my fireplace needs but also any plumbing needs or any services his business performs. I was more than happy to cancel my refund request from Angie's list and write this honest and positive review instead!

"Melton Family Masonry did excellent work repairing multiple stone retaining walls around our property, adding a new retaining wall, expanding a section of our driveway, and repairing our entryway stairs. They offered excellent advice on different solutions to our issues. They were thorough, reasonably priced, friendly, and efficient. Everything looks great and we couldn't be happier. We highly recommend them."

Start with a professional inspection. If damage is limited to a few bricks or the crown, a targeted repair helps keep costs and disruption to a minimum. Severe leaning, widespread mortar failure, or major fire damage usually signals it’s time for a complete teardown and rebuild. Your contractor will outline both price tags, but remember that rebuilding a failing stack is often cheaper than repeated patch jobs and the water leaks or fire hazards they allow.
Cracks provide water with an easy path into the masonry, weakening the bricks and mortar and increasing the risk of collapse or fire. Gaps can also let hot gases and sparks escape into attic spaces. Call a chimney pro as soon as you see cracking so they can seal small joints or recommend a larger rebuild before minor damage turns into a costly emergency.
Smoke rolling back into the room often indicates a blocked flue, a broken damper, or a drafting issue. Have a sweep inspect the damper, flue liner, and any obstructions right away. Most fixes involve clearing debris, repairing the liner, or adjusting the damper so the fireplace pulls air correctly. Don’t light another fire until a professional pinpoints the cause and confirms your system is venting safely.
Most policies cover chimney repairs caused by a sudden, covered event, such as lightning, a fallen tree, or a house fire. They won’t cover damage that stems from neglected maintenance or everyday wear. Review your policy or contact your agent before scheduling work to determine what documentation your insurer requires and what costs you will be responsible for.
Component life spans vary. Clay tile or cast-in-place liners last close to 50 years, while stainless-steel liners last 15 to 20 years. Mortar requires attention every 25 to 30 years, while crowns last 50 to 75 years. Use these numbers as a maintenance roadmap: schedule regular inspections, budget for future upgrades, and replace parts before age-related cracks develop into more significant problems.
