"We hired the experts at Chimney.com to tear out the old fireplace and put in a new, smaller, and more modern unit. The tear-down only took a half-day, and the new install took one day. We also had them install a mantle and surround for it. We're very pleased with the new look! If you need fireplace work done, go with the experts at Chimney.com to make sure the job is done right!"

"They cleaned the chimney and we used the coupon successfully. Afterwards, I shined a flashlight up the chimney and could see and physically pull additional ash from the sides with a cloth in my hand. It was mostly clean, but a little attention to detail could have cleaned the lower end better. Also, they told us we have a safety issue with a crack in the floor. They took the fireplace apart on the spot, but didn't have the parts to fix it. The chimney sat unused for 3-4 weeks in winter as we waited for them to get the part. After that time and repeated calls with no scheduled install date in sight, we cancelled the repair and had them come back and put the fireplace back together."

"The experience was wonderful; Juan, the lead technician, explained the entire job before carrying it out, and we were very pleased with the result. I also received excellent service at the office. I would always recommend a Shamrock fireplace."

"The primary job was to paint the exterior wood, including wooden windows, on this typical northern Virginal 2 story home with mostly vinyl siding. Excellent prep with power washing, making all 20+ wood windows operable, replacing lots of rotted wood including some custom window repair, one new major picture window, sagging garage door wood repair (precluded a replacement garage door), etc. Excellent results with high quality paint on all exterior including porch and shutters as planned, including wooden rails and slats on a largely TREX deck. This contractor specializes in wood solutions to home repair problems, as well as painting, from my experience. Has good, creative solutions to tough problems. Got a good estimate to start, but escalated a bit as the extent of rotten wood became apparent in the course of the work. I would certainly hire them again."

"May be the best customer service I've ever received from a Northern Virginia small business. Competitively priced, outstanding workmanship and work ethic, superior communication and follow-up to make sure I was happy with the job -- and I was (and am) VERY HAPPY with the work done. I asked for a chimney inspection in November 2020 as I was unhappy with the draw/burn of my wood-stove. Damien (senior installer and estimates/inspections) was incredibly thorough and explained the "why" of each of his recommendations and the benefits/risks related to completing the recommended work (or not). The work we agreed to have done was to replace the ceramic chimney inserts (flu) for both the upstairs fireplace and the downstairs wood stove. The ceramic was over 45-years old and had deteriorated (as was obvious from the pictures they took during the inspection which I subsequently reviewed). I also wanted the chimney and outside wall repointed and some additional (minor) brick work on the cap and chimney shoulder. Damien also recommended the brick work be water proofed after the other work was completed. April 2021 - the crew arrived as scheduled and on-time. Team Lead (Rich) and crew (Reggie and Walter) were incredible. I've rarely seen people work so well together and work with such confidence and efficiency. They were dedicated to providing me a great result. This was scheduled as a three day job and was completed on time and on-cost (no surprises at the end). Damien returned (Day 4) to do the water proofing as recommended. He also repaired a roof-shingle that had been inadvertently bent during the chimney work (I did not even notice the bent shingle). INTEGRITY and PRIDE!! If you are considering chimney or masonry work, I strongly recommend you contact Chim-Chim Churee for estimate (and I recommend you hire them!!)"

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.
