"Red Fox Construction contacted me and came on site the next day to give a bid. The contractor (MIKE) was professional and was always reliable about arriving to do the work. Th work in on a 100 year old Victorian House and the porch entry stoop was seriously in need of repair. They were able to work with both old and new materials and reuse the 100 year old gingerbread yet using good new pressured treated wood where necessary. They consulted me throughout the process to arrive at solutions regarding design and historic preservation. Mike had excellent knowledge about wood and its use and the viability of using original materials along with the new wood. he also understood structure and durability. At the beginning of our discussion he provided a reference from a client so I went into the job with confidence. He exceeded my expectations. 100 year old houses are a challenge and respect for the past cannot be taught. I will use Red Fox in the future. The work was excellent, proceeded on time, and they were in contact with me about the timing of their work on the project. Their ability and performance was an A+."

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.
