"WNC Masonry was hired to assess the condition of two fireplaces and a stone chimney after receiving assessments and estimates from two other fireplace and chimney businesses. What he found that actually needed repairs was considerably less than what the others said HAD to be done. Levi learned about stone and brick masonry as he worked with his father while young. He has many years of experience also as a sole business owner. His integrity, honesty and professional knowledge are superior. He's hardworking and friendly. Levi repaired the exterior of the stone fireplace, had a cap built and he installed it. His costs were far less than half of the other estimates I received. I highly recommend him for his knowledge, skills and reasonable costs."

"BSCS offered us an opportunity to have our chimneys inspected and cleaned just as the winter season was winding. Hunter has the demeanor of a much older and seasoned person and his work is reflected in his demeanor. He inspected our two fireplaces and then cleaned out both. He was meticulous in laying out protective floor coverings. Both chimneys were cleaned and furniture repositioned afterwards. There was absolutely no spillage onto the floors and it was done in record time for a reasonable price. As he was collecting his gear he mentioned he also cleaned Dryer vents. We believed our dryer needed cleaning and while setting up the dryer discovered the connection to the dryer had come loose and was blowing all residue back into the laundry room. Hunter carefully cleaned and firmly reattached the hose. We are now big fans of Blacksheep and asked him to come annually to inspect our chimneys and dryer exhaust. Thank you Blacksheep."

FAQs for fireplace and wood stove service projects in Mills River, NC

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.
