"From the very beginning, Jamie Shea was easy to work and very personable. He helped us pick the right color and proper stone to update the look of the fireplace. Once we selected the stone, Jamie made a site visit to measure the fireplace and walk us through the process. From the day we signed the contract to the date of the install, he was prompt and courteous. The mason crew Jamie works with, were prompt, courteous and did outstanding work. We couldn’t be happier with the finished project. The fireplace is a now beautiful focal point in our living room. I would highly recommend Fireside Hearth and Home. And if you are lucky enough to work with Jamie Shea, you will very be pleased with his positive, can do attitude."

"John originally came to clean the gutters on my parents' house by way of a pre-paid gift certificate from my aunt and uncle. He returned my call with an hour of leaving a voicemail. Luckily he was just finishing some work in the neighborhood and realized he could still fit our job in before the end of the work day. He arrived 10 min later and did quick and excellent work. During pleasant conversation with my father, he learned we could occasionally hear flying squirrels gnawing on wood somewhere over our living room. John took a good look around our roof and attic vents and alerted us to a very small gap at the base of our chimney. Since he would still be in the neighborhood the following day, John offered to come back and repair the gap. My father agreed and John returned as promised. Knowing that we adored these flying squirrels and wanted no harm to come to them, he made noise to coax them out, double checked EVERYONE had evacuated and then made the needed repair. When my father pulled out his checkbook to pay for this additional work, John refused any compensation. Instead, he just asked that in the future we refer any friends or neighbors who might need similar work. This guy is professional, kind and very talented. We would definitely hire him again!"

FAQs for fireplace and wood stove service projects in Columbus, WI

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.
