"Excellent job. Had him come out to clean my brick fireplace and a free standing wood stove. My brick fireplace we nearly never use, he took one look and said it wasn't necessary and didn't charge me. Some companies just would have gone ahead and done the work even if it wasn't necessary. Really appreciated it."

"Tim and his son were fantastic. I called him on a Thursday night and he was out first thing Friday morning to replace an old hot water heater that had leaked. Over the weekend I discovered that the new hot water heater was not heating, so I called him on Monday morning to ask him to take a look. He had booked a full day but showed up Monday evening - at the end of a long day of work - to troubleshoot. It turned out that the problem wasn't his fault, rather a peculiarity of my rather old house. Nonetheless he and his son insisted on fixing the problem so the hot water heater worked, all for no charge. I can't recommend this company highly enough. This kind of service is hard to find these days."

"Overall, 100% Satisfaction. Phoenix did an excellent job from start to finish. Nick provided a quote in advance and worked with me to modify the quote as requested. Nick coordinating permitting with the municipality and installed the system as designed with no problems at all. I would recommend Phoenix for any new HVAC system install or remodel. Also, I obtained 4 quotes from local HVAC companies including Phoenix and they were as much as $3,000 dollars less than the highest competitive apples to apples bid.

"The company is great, Ryan does a great job. Ryan is responsive, shows up when he says he's going to, and charges exactly what he says he will. We started working with Ryan five-six years ago and we feel like his work is done exactly the way we want it. I would recommend him."

"He came out to see why the fireplace was smoking and showed up the best way to prevent it. We initially thought there was build up in the chimney, which is why we called. He explained how to get rid of the smoke and was very respectful and pleasant. Also, when he had to cancel because of the snow storm, he made sure to call ahead. He was very punctual."
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.
