"On Saturday, September 22, 2018, I sought a vendor from Angie's List to perform the wild shrubbery removal project. On September 23, Mr. Chavez contacted me and offered to give me a quote on my project. On September 27, Mr. Chavez came to my home and inspected the work to be done; at that time, he discovered that in fact two wild trees had fallen onto my back yard from a neighboring wooded area. He gave me a quote of $750 to remove the fallen trees and wild shrubbery, and an additional $50 to trim my own shrubbery. I accepted Mr. Chavez's quoted price; and, on the following day, Mr. Chavez returned and performed the work on which we had agreed. He was punctual, professional, and thorough; and I am pleased with the work done."

"The worker told me that the inside of the chimney had deteriorated seriously and needed a liner. So that was a significant additional purchase. Used a different company the following year, and that worker told me the liner was not installed properly. It is impossible to say what actually is the case. I do not have enough knowledge to know.

"Fernando evaluated a stone facade on my Colonial Beach, VA townhouse that had come loose due to poor builder construction. He matched the stone perfectly and repaired the original work to like new condition. He was responsive, timely, cost-competitive, and most importantly did grade A work. Would definitely hire for any future projects!"
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.
