"Great! Catlin called me within 5 minutes of a quote request even though he was on a job. Super timely. Showed up 10 mins early. And they were honest about not sweeping when we didn’t need it. Helped me form a plan going forward to maintain my wood burning fireplace. I found my chimney team."

"We had firebox that was in desperate need of repair on an existing brick fireplace. Clark and his team rebuilt the firebox and installed an all new stone face to replace the previous brick design. It looks amazing! Clark kept us updated regularly on status and what going on throughout the project, which was refreshing after working with other contractors. We also had them repair the chimney stack and cap as we had found some issues with those and they did a great job on that as well."

"Highly recommended, timely and very professional. Carl was very knowledgeable and easy to work with. He was able to answer all of our questions and walk us through different options, while being mindful of our budget. Just to highlight what all he did to repair our chimney. A safe working platform was erected. The old cap was removed and the brick was demoed to the flashing. All the brick was cleaned and relayed in tinted mortar to match existing masonry. A new crown was installed with custom stainless steal cage. The chimney was washed cleaned and sealed all debris were cleaned up and scaffolding was removed. We were so happy with the results. We would absolute hire him again."

"Musgrove Masonry recently torn down and replaced the porch and stairs leading up to the front entrance on my split entry. (The old one made of wood was collapsing. We wanted to replace it with something that would last.) There are very few businesses I would award 5 starts to, but this is one of those few. The owner, Russ, showed up for the estimate exactly when he said he would. His bid was much more reasonable than the other two we had gotten. He was very honest from the start, telling us that he probably would not be able to get to us for six weeks. We appreciated that. They actually were able to begin sooner than expected. (You don't hear that much, do you?!) They are not one of these contractors where they start your job then vanish. They were here every single day--if they were not going to be here because of weather or an emergency somewhere else, Russ would always call me first thing in the morning. He and his workers were all very nice to have around. In fact, their trucks would often make it too tricky for me to back out of my garage and get around them, so they would chuckle and back my car up for me! They offered to reuse our railings and they really tried, but whoever installed them in the first place didn't have them in square, so we ended up just buying new ones since we couldn't find a match to supplement them. I appreciated that Musgroves were willing to at least try; they are the only contractor who didn't just poo poo the idea. Russ seemed to understand that we were on a budget. The job was finished on time, met all our expectations, and came in at the exact price quoted (other than us buying new rails). I would hire them again for sure!"

FAQs for fireplace and wood stove service projects in New Kensington, PA

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.
