"I have used James on two previous occasions to service my gas fire place and clean the chimneys in my home and workshop. I was very pleased with his work. This visit was to repair a leak in my main chimney stack and install a cover on my outdoor fireplace. Just as before, James and his helper did a great job."

"We visited numerous showrooms in Harrisonburg, Charlottesville and Richmond, Virginia. Classic Granite and Marble in Midlothian, VA had by far the largest selection of full sized slabs of Granite, Marble and Quartz. They had several slabs of the unique Quartz that we wanted for our kitchen counter top. Buddy Hiatt was knowledgeable, experienced and courteous as our Sales Rep. The quartz cost was considerably lower than that of all the other quotes. We were very satisfied with the process, and I have recommended Classic Granite and Marble to friends. On our project, we removed the wooden window sill and replaced it with Quartz that matched the counter top. It adds a unique look to the kitchen."

"When we came close to the completion of our new build I remember feeling daunted at the thought of furniture placement especially with our front entrance, dinning room and family room as they were all connected with no division, very open concept. After moving in, we were overwhelmed with where to start. We contacted Valerie to assist us in making our house a home. Valerie has an eye for detail and a passion for creating beautiful, functional spaces. She created design boards that reflected a blend of mine and my husband's styles. She really listens to her clients’ needs and preferences. We worked with her to pick out pieces that fit our space and budget. She will go above and beyond to ensure your satisfaction, and she is always available to answer questions and address any concerns. It was a pleasure working with Valerie and her company, Brexton Cole Interiors. She is committed to quality and customer service. We highly recommend Valerie!"

"We chose Nova Paving after talking to a few different companies. Some time went by, but they remembered us and got us on the schedule fairly quickly a few years later. The work looks good, just as described by Joel. Other consumers may want to know: Be sure to read the contract when you commit, as there is a fee for paying with a credit card. There is also an annual sealing required to maintain the warranty."

FAQs for fireplace and wood stove service projects in Charlottesville, VA

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.
