"We were very pleased with the outcome of the work performed. The antique brick work looks amazing. Johnny and his team did a wonderful job and were great and easy to work with. The owners were upfront on their pricing being higher than others but the quality of the work proves why. You definitely get what you pay for. I would highly recommend using Outdoor Artisan."

"My brick house is 20 years old and over time some minor cracking in the mortar or missing mortar at various locations around the house. Nothing overly serious, just time related minor settlement. Plus when I moved in the house 12 years ago the realtor had someone fix one of the locations and they did not match the mortar color very well and it was very noticeable.
Doug came out and gave me a quote, plus pointed out some areas I had overlooked. Plus he offered to grind out and re-mortar the area that was done poorly 12 years ago. It took about a month for our schedules to match and Doug's team came out it took about a day to grind out the old mortar and apply new mortar which matched the color perfectly. You can't even tell where the cracks were any more and the work looks professional, neat and clean. The color matching is an art, and had to be mixed slowly by hand. They even touched up some areas we had not seen before.
Highly recommend this to be done for older brick homes as the cracks can let in wasps, rain, and outside air/humidity. If you looking for someone to do this, you won't find a better craftsmen than Doug and his team.

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.
