"Chimney Works & Rocky Mountain Stoves comes through again. They installed a wood burning insert in my house years ago and loved it. Have them come out yearly to inspect and sweep. They are always courteous on time and keep things clean. Thanks Jeremy Woods for the awesome job once again!"

"Excellent work from start to finish. My father was a mason, so I know great work when I see it. First, they brought in a tear-down team to remove the chimney down to the first-floor roof level of our two-story house. After which, they rebuilt the chimney to original height installing approximately 900 new bricks using a new Type N mortar. They installed a new 5" thick concrete crown with a 2" drip edge and an expansion joint. They replaced all accessible sections of fireplace clay flue tile extending 4" - 6" above the concrete crown. Installed new stainless steel chimney cap. Installed 2 sets of new step and counter flashing. Installed 2 sets of new ice water shields and shingles as needed. Cleaned and weather sealed chimney entirely upon completion. After the chimney rebuild was done, the Mason, Seth, and his crew cleaned the work site, to include the whole driveway. They are a very efficient and thorough team. I understand that they like to leave the customer's house and yard as clean or better than they find it."

"They worked very hard and the final product looks wonderful.  The cleanup could have gone better and the sand and gravel and rock could have been placed on a tarp instead of my lawn.
I had two pavers in the front of the house replaced and a small maple tree cut down. 
Overall, everything was done that I had asked for.
Rob is a great guy and I enjoyed talking with him about the work.

"That was good! I don't believe that there were any additional costs beyond the big deal amount. It was painless and pretty routine. I used the fireplace after that, I just hadn't used it for a while. I did it more as a precautionary thing. I got scheduled right away when I called."

". We decided to convert three of our four fireplaces from wood to gas. They originally used to be coal so they are smaller than normal. Ben came out and gave us an free estimate and told us what we needed. The fireplace in the dining room did not have a basket so we bought a great basket plus three burners, starters and artificial coals. We called Ben after all the items came in and he set up a date to come out to begin work. He told us it would take two to three days. During the whole process, Ben always showed up on time, cleaned up after himself and was very professional. He completed the job on time and the work he did was excellent! I recommend him highly. Our fireplaces were small since they were coal, so he had a challenge to get the burners in. We chose artifical coal instead of gas logs in keeping with the period of the house. It turned out better than we could have ever imagined.

"Amazing work by Oak Roots. Jake met with us several times to design out our build which had a few unique features we wanted. We also threw in a last minute add that he was able to fit into the build (cost more of course). The build took a little over a week and most of the work was done offsite and when they arrived to build onsite everything went together perfectly."

"The work was performed between Sept 16-19 2019. Darryl and his crew arrived promptly at 8:30 on Sept 16 as planned. They pressure washed the entire house during the first day and began prepping the exterior wood for painting. They scraped, sanded and caulked the wood. Darryl pointed out several areas of rotted wood in addition to the ones I knew about; he repaired all of them under the original estimate. We chose the paint colors from the Sherwin Williams selection samples. Prep work continued throughout the second day while part of the crew began painting. Painting, prep work and wood repair continued through the third day. The fourth day was only for the final (second) coat in the areas still needing it. The crew was very polite and cleaned up at the end of everyday. They stored their ladders and equipment in a tidy area away from the house everyday. They arrived around 8:30 and worked until 4:00. The paint job looks great! I will definitely hire them again. Thanks, Cliff"

FAQs for fireplace and wood stove service projects in Kenton, KY

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.
