"I was impressed with Chuck from Shamrock Chimney. He was realistic in his discussion and went thru various options from converting to a gas fireplace to wood inserts. He discussed the issues with the existing field stone face and converting to a two way fireplace. He certainly made me comfortable to consider Shamrock should the project move forward."

"We don't use them for repairs because they're too expensive. They do subsequent cleaning services. I have an older home so it was a little bit tricky. They were very professional and they were a very capable group of people. They knew how to work in the older homes around my area. They clean up after themselves and they explained all the features of our new furnace. That's an investment too. Since it is an older home, they did replace some of the duct work and they did a fine job there too. Sometimes its a little bit difficult with all the nooks and crannies in an older home. They've managed to maneuver it into the areas that we needed it. They took the time and they were willing to explain all the things that they were doing before they did and the layout of it after they did the work so we understood exactly what they accomplished. We got to choose the heating system we wanted and because of the age of our home, we had to specialty design some of the duct work that had to be replaced. They're really good. They've been around the area for years. They're very expensive when it comes to service calls and repairs. They were competitive. There are a few competitors out here. Everybody was pretty much in line. I wanted the type of furnace that they were offering. We did our research and they had the best model. With the service call, they were $80 walking in the door. The products that they sell are carbolic products, they don't have to come in often. If they do it hurts a little bit. Its little bit more expensive when they have to come in and fix."

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.
