"Paver Block Patio We just had a paver block patio installed outside our 3 Season room and the contractor, Carolina Fireplace & Outdoor Solutions (Giovanni) did an outstanding job in every way. His recommendations were wonderful and weâ re extremely pleased. He included mulch for our garden bed (where we kept our grille), an underground drain to redirect rainfall from our gutters and will be returning to install sod along the edges. We called in four companies for prices and chose him because of his creative recommendations. His team of 3-4 wonderful guys completed the job in 3 days without compromising quality techniques and cleanup was impeccable. https://www.homeadvisor.com/rated.CarolinasFireplace.89670641.html"

"It went very smoothly and quickly. Alex was very professional and had my fireplace replaced within two days of my decision to use Queen City Fireplace. He did not charge me for the estimate and honored the coupon offered on Angie's List. I would definitely recommend Queen City Fireplace to anyone who asks."

"We needed to find a Contractor to carry out services for one our clients. We contacted Outdoor Artisan who submitted a proposal to our customer and one the job. We were able to work with Outdoor Artisan simultaneously on this outdoor project. After this project, we will continue to refer Outdoor Artisan's to any of our clientele that is seeking to have Outdoor Patios, stoneworks, ponds, or kitchens. Because we referred them, our client was exceptionally happy with us for referring Outdoor Artisan for this project."

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.
