"Classic Granite & Marble were great to work with for the installation of our new Silestone quartz kitchen countertops! See the "before" old laminate compared to the new quartz photos. They were on time, called prior to their arrival, and worked diligently to get the job done and answer all my questions! Templater, Joey, took his time to get just the right measurements and was thorough. Installers, Ivan, Nester, and team, worked diligently with removing old countertops and sink as well as installing all the new. We had an issue with a difficult area behind the slide-in stove, and Heather, project manager, quickly scheduled the service team, Otoneil and Victor, who came just two days later and expertly fixed the problem. Heather was great from the beginning to end in answering questions and guiding me through the entire process. I would highly recommend CGM!"

"I used them in March. They did Masonry. They replaced some broken brick and did a nice job around my windows. They were a little slow and fell behind schedule, but the quality of their work was very good. I would possibly use them again in the future. "

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.
