"I had to push them to actually inspect the fireplace, not just clean it. Not sure what the real difference is between the two types of cleaning other than price. I would recommend the cheaper option."

"We had these guys finish our fireplace from 10 feet to about 19, and the roof was at a strange angle. They took the time to make the cuts on the bricks at the top to match the roof making the fireplace look fully finished and very beautiful! I would recommend them to anyone needing work done. I plan to use them again in spring for our next project."

"I highly recommend Alfa Builders & Remodeling! Moe did a phenomenal job renovating my home and completed the project within the promised timeframe. He remodeled both bathrooms, installed new countertops and walls, renovated the kitchen with beautiful countertops and cabinets, and installed new flooring throughout the entire house. What impressed me most was Moe's professionalism, positive attitude, and exceptional attention to detail. He takes pride in his work, and it truly shows in the finished product. The quality of the craftsmanship exceeded my expectations, and the entire renovation process was smooth from start to finish. If you're looking for someone who is reliable, skilled, and committed to delivering high-quality results, I would not hesitate to recommend Moe and Alfa Builders & Remodeling."

"Very polite and gentlemanly. Arrived on time and worked through these hot days. The brick on our house and courtyard wall look wonderful. Only time will tell, but Brad's goal for our project was to do the best to keep the brick going for at least another 10 - 20 years. I believe it will. Thank you."

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.
