"We’ll be using Superior Chimney again for our wood burning fireplace needs. We needed a mechanical cleaning. The team came out and was able to give a quote and complete the work in the same visit. They were friendly and polite, and the price undercut a previous quote we had received by $300."

"Mirna scheduled our work to fit into this busy season and was responsive to our schedule. When she was able to move our date up, she called and then kept us informed as to when the workers would arrive. Ralph and Arturro were prompt and professional (and personable) and did a great job of cleaning our fireplace insert and our Jotul wood stove.They did quality work and were conscious to minimize the impact of their work on our house. I recommend this company without reservation."

"Bricks along one side of our attached garage fell from an outside wall after a car struck a corner of the house next to the garage. Not only brick, but also the wood underlay, needed replacement. I requested some estimates on my own, but estimates from those recommended by Robert seemed most reasonable, and I chose them. Once those steps had been completed, Robert's Masonry completed the last step of replacing the outside layer of brick next to the garage door and also extending partway along the outside wall. I definitely would select Robert's Masonry and Repair for any masonry project. Not only was he professional and knowledgeable, but he also kept us informed every step of the way."

"Anthony was spectacular. We had Top Hat out to inspect our three gas fireplaces and our chimneys. After removing the vermiculite and spent ash from the bottom of the fireplaces to clean and inspect, Anthony identified that prior to our purchase of the house the fireplaces had been improperly converted from wood to gas. One fireplace did not have a fire box, one fire box had been improperly installed and the third was made from gerry rigged materials that were not fit for purpose. One of the the black pipe connections was made without pipe dope/sealant. One fireplace had a crimped supply line. One fireplace had a 12" bar for a 24" fireplace which was intended to be a starter for a wood fire, not to be used to run a continous gas fireplace. All three posed CO2 hazards. Anthony photographed everything for us, fully explained the issues and remedied all. He was polite, thorough and efficient and fairly priced. Highly recommend Anthony and Top Hat!"

"We have used Superior Chimney to inspect and clean our wood burning fireplace twice before. We had a leaking issue with our vent stack and called for inspection. The inspection revealed the need to add a tube inside the current stack to avoid continued deterioration of the mortar. This was extensive work and the team was outstanding. Professionals all the way."

FAQs for fireplace and wood stove service projects in Chicago Lawn, IL

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.
