"The whole process from start to finish was extremely easy. I submitted a request on their website for a quote to get some work done on the brick work on the side of my house. Within 2 hours I had a call back and an appointment to have an inspection and quote done. Kevin who did my inspection was on time, friendly and did a good job explaining everything they would do. That same day I had a proposal that was half the price of another company I had received a quote from. The work started the next day! Nathan did a great job keeping me informed with all work being done. It was a 2 day project and the work looks great. I couldn't be happier with my experience with disciple masonry. I can't recommend them enough!"

"Andrew and Kyle did a great job installing a gas line for an outside grill. They showed up on time for the estimate, provided me a quote the same day and scheduled the work within a few days. Quality of work was top-notch. Andrew also corrected issues with gas line for hot water heater and furnace from original construction free of charge. Will definitely use them for future projects."

"JRC Installers exceeded my expectations - Jim and his team were friendly, knowledgeable and efficient. They came out to assess our indoor gas fireplace that has not been working consistently, and were able to diagnose and address the issue quickly, and at 30% of the cost of a competitor. We will be working with them annually for our fireplace cleaning and have recommended them to our neighbors. I would honestly recommend not wasting time reading about any other companies - just reach out to Jim and work with 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.
