"Very well. I burn 3-5 cords of wood per year and it is essential that I have a clean flue to prevent chimney fires. Jamie was prompt, courteous and did a very professional job. Would definitely hire again next year."

"Chim-Chim Churee made various repairs to our brick fireplace--to include inserting a stainless-steel liner for our wood stove; rebuilding the chimney crown; replacing the chimney cap; and replacing bricks and cleaning moss off the chimney shoulder. They were extremely professional, very knowledgeable, and competitive with their prices. They explained what needed to be done, changes in code, and texted and/or emailed us contract and pictures, reminders of upcoming appointments, and final pictures of work that was done. We were very pleased with this experience and would not hesitate to recommend them to friends."

"I received a quote from another chimney service to get some panels replaced in my fireplace. When the serviceman did not show up or return my calls, I contacted M & S Chimney's. I should have called them FIRST. Nathan and his team are very professional, they did quality work. Nathan is also very honest- the other guy said that I needed all four panels replaced, Nathan said that only two panels needed to be replaced. The day of the service, everything went perfect. M & S Chimney's is now my "go to" for all my wood-burning fireplace needs. THEY ARE GREAT!!!!"

"We're going to have a cooler summer thanks to H and F. H&F is the best we’ve used. They are my top recommendation for skill, knowledge, and a square deal."
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.
