"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."

Customers say: True professional
"Wow! Amazing service. I must've called 8 different places in a panic trying to get the brick mounts which hold the mantel removed from my old fireplace so the surface could be prepped for a new TV. Seemed like an easy task (I thought), but it was a little more meticulous than I thought. I called this team and they arrived same day! Incredible customer service and expertise. Not only did they return the day after providing an estimate and remove the brick mounts, they actually re-fabricated the brick to make the holes disappear! This team knows their stuff!! I was so impressed that in the Spring I'd like them to come and do some masonry work for me. Highly recommend. They really are committed to doing good work and meeting the needs of their customer Special thanks for seeing to my issue before my TV install. We are ready for the Superbowl!!"

"Moore added a beautiful deck and patio with stone fireplace to our home. From the initial consultation to the design to the construction and finishing process - the Moore team was excellent. The quality of materials, the quality of the workmanship and the quality of communication throughout the process was exceptional. I would highly recommend them for anyone considering the addition of a deck and/or patio. We talked with several different companies and Moore was the most impressive and offering the greatest value. They clearly stood out to be the best and they did not disappoint. The result is even better than we had hoped for. We could not be more satisfied with the people, process and resulting product. Moore is committed to doing a top quality job and to your full satisfaction. An excellent company and excellent team."

"They went above and beyond. Our heat went off Saturday and when I called late they couldn't someone out yet, but based on self diagnosis of the problem they said I could easily and quickly repair myself, which I was ready to do. After trying to fix it was clear they needed to come out. They promptly scheduled an appt. for 8 a.m. the next day and arrived in a timely manner. He called as he approached as well. Michael looked at the problem and got it running again, but he didn't stop there, he noticed two of the burners just weren't fire as they should so he asked to see the output. He then discovered that based on some recent siding work I had done they contractors had inappropriately installed the output back on so we literally had carbon monoxide coming back into the heating unit via the intake, hence my house. This was causing the heater to turn off and start-up over an over again while it sucked carbon monoxide back in. So, basically, if we had left it on there was a chance I and my family wouldn't be hear at all... due to carbon monoxide being odorless and very deadly. We almost left it on last night hoping it would start back, but luckily I turn the whole unit off.
So between him telling how to fix it ourself to save me money and then him saving my family, I give him a A++++. Thank you Michael. You have a new customer that will be recommended to all of my friends, family and colleagues. It's tough to find businesses with integrity and professionalism at this level.

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.
