"Very nice guy, came and checked out and cleaned the pellet stove So it was one less thing to worry about come winter (and didn't get pellet dust everywhere!). He was in and out fairly quickly leaving quality behind which is hard to find. Would definitely recommend!"

"Joe and Alex gave us the perfect solutions for 2 problem areas. Now our stove exhaust wall cap finishes off our newly installed range hood. The brick wall had to be slightly altered to get things lined up due to our previous original hood size no longer being made. The wall and seal is better than when we first bought our home with the original exhaust. Our front steps/stoop needed refinishing as the previous mortar-like coating was crumbling. Joe and Alex gave it a "brand new house" look in a tough area to work with. Our curb appeal is restored beautifully. Will be calling them for any/all masonry needed in the future. Thanks guys!!"

"Everything went well from start to finish. The whole job was completed in one full day. No mess from the masonry work was left behind. I would recommend Buckley's Chimney Service to anyone looking to have any chimney/masonry work done. Also there wasn't a deposit needed to start the job either, he takes everyone on their word."

"Jason removed an old ceramic tile hearth and replaced it with a beautiful bluestone hearth; he also made minor pointing repairs to the brick fireplace. Jason is excellent to work with, in terms of his communication, his skill, and his eye for making the project beautiful. He designed a random geometric design for the hearth which several friends have positively commented on. We would certainly recommend Jason."

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.
