"Fireplace was fine (OPPOSITE of what I had been told by another chimney sweep). Oil burner side ...not so good. Flue was heavily cracked and deteriorated. Entire flue pieces laying at base. Since this could be a carbon monoxide hazard and I quite often have small children in the house, I didn't think it was anything I should let go unresolved (although I was NOT anticipating spending a couple of thousand dollars at the time).
Bottom line: New stainless steel liner put in. Liner secured and resealed top and bottom. New cap installed - and cracked top cement crown on chimney was replaced with a rubberized product. Warranty on liner is transferable with the house when/if sold.
While I was not thrilled about hitting my emergency fund for something that you can't SEE, obviously it was important to get it done. I was eligible for a Senior discount (am I the only one THRILLED to be older when a Senior discount is offered)? You hit a certain age ... every penny saved helps.
Jon Paul was wonderful. Not a pushy sales person. Straight and to the point. Explained everything in detail. Personable. My 4 year old great niece was with me for an overnight visit and she immediately took to him. (Pay attention to the little ones ~ they're very good judges of character).
I will recommend them at every opportunity and call them again if the need arises. Five Stars from me!!!"

"We had a chimney with damage to the stone facade. PA A Plus Restoration contacted us promptly after we found them through ServiceMagic. They were at our home within days to survey our chimney and give us an estimate. Their estimate was detailed and complete, and they were very open to questions. They had no problems conducting business via email as well as on the phone. Once we sent back a signed agreement, they arranged a mutually-agreeable date to get the work done. Before they finished, they showed us where previous owners had taken shortcuts in earlier chimney repairs, and why those repairs had probably contributed to damage they fixed."

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.
