"Called me to say they are on there way. Cleaned and inspected chimney with no additional surprise add on's. Surprise about this as the fireplace has not been used in over 10 years, sadly. (Senior Parents not able to manage or be safe with it). Dr. Sweep recommended a few things and suggested some ideas. Sent me information to my email and didn't feel pressured. All good and happy with service."

"The job was done but it is very sloppy. There?s slurry and mortar all over the chimney and we are not confident it?s properly repaired. We have hired a different contractor to re-do the one fixed by Shamrock as well as the 2nd chimney that also needs repair. The tech from Shamrock was a nice guy he but didn?t do the work; his assistant did the work and its a mess."

"They did a very nice job. My fireplace looked like new. I had some trouble with the pilot light and now it works really well. They were very prompt. I have had them out since then to replace a chimney cap. I will use them again."

"Jeremiah, who is very knowledgeable of mortar types and colors, secured special mortar for our chimney built in 1928 that was a great match. His crew was very meticulous in their tuckpointing such you can't even tell the joints were repaired. In addition they were very considerate and accommodating: numerous plants surrounding the scaffolding were not trampled. My wife and I were extremely pleased with the work!"

"Arrived on-time. Explained the process. Calmed my fears of a mess in the living room. Explained the reside (creosote from wood fires and black ash from natural gas fires). Process was fast and professional. Clean-up was excellent.







As a double check, I laid a white paper note pad on the table adjacent to the fireplace. There was no residue on it when the job was finished. Excellent job.

"This was my first experience getting my chimney cleaned. Lee arrived early, was extremely friendly, knowledgeable, and did a great job! He protected the area surrounding the fireplace to prevent anything from getting on the furniture. I will be using Lee for any of my fireplace needs and recommending him to my family, friends, and neighbors. Thanks Lee!!!

FAQs for fireplace and wood stove service projects in Richmond, MI

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.
