"I searched online for a company to service my gas fireplace and came across top chimney. They responded promptly, did an excellent job fixing my gas fireplace, offered a fair price for the repair, and even provided me with a new remote. Now, I can conveniently control my fireplace from my smartphone, adding to my comfort. They were highly professional, explaining every step of the job. I highly recommend top chimney and will definitely use their services again in the future. Thank you!"

"Unique Transformations truly exceeded our expectations!! The level of craftsmanship and detail with the cutting of the granite and installation was phenomenal. Angel is a perfectionist!! Outstanding value for the price we paid considering the quality and level of service provided. After seeing the end results, we are very happy we chose to go with Unique Transformations over the "larger" granite companies. Thank you Ailsa and Angel!"

"Chris did all the measuring himself. Was excellent matching the granite patterns and hiding the seam on the one countertop. The fireplace was to have a seam in the travertine and he was able to cut and install in one piece....it is beautiful! We had three proposals and Chris was the middle priced..but, really glad we spent the extra money and choice him. He will be doing our bathrooms this fall! Great to work with!"
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.
