"The sweep did a great job. He cleaned a fireplace that opens on two sides. He was very careful about taping off the side of the fireplace that would not be accessed to clean the flue. Tarps were laid to prevent spreading of soot, etc. The job took less than an hour. He was also very good about recommending how to clean our gas logs to prevent the buildup of carbon dioxide over time.

"Fireplace Door Guy definitely exceeded our expectations. Not only was Danny (the owner) professional and responsive, the quality of workmanship was truly artwork. Our custom fireplace door is now the centerpiece of our main living room. We were so pleased with the door, within a month we ordered a 2nd door for our bedroom fireplace. Thank you Danny"

"Dawnika, Mike and Jesse arrived approximately 8am. They completely covered my walls and floors with plastic sheets for preparation as not to ruin anything. They completely took down all the "popcorn" on the ceilings, prepared it smooth for the final spray and then spayed the texture on the sheetrock. I called Chris on short notice to have this job done and what a pleasure it was to have these folks come and complete the entire job by 3:30pm. IF YOU WANT IT DONE RIGHT AND DONE ON TIME, THESE ARE THE PEOPLE TO CALL!! Oh, they also sprayed texture on my kitchen ceiling which is being remodeled. GREAT JOB!!"

"I hadn't used my condo's fireplace in the 7 years I owned my condo. I am going to be renting it out so wanted to make sure everything was ok. The technician came over on time (even earlier) and inspected the chimney. It turned out that no cleaning was needed. I was only charged for the inspection and even used the Angie's List coupon. He gave me some advice on screens to use in front of the fireplace and referred me to a vendor."

"Tim and his crew were amazing. They were prompt, courteous, respectful of the property, extremely professional, and I would have to classify them as artists. Their work was exceptional! I am very pleased with the results and will have them back again for crown moulding and a special project for the fireplace. I highly recommend this company to anyone who wants to add a special touch to their home."

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.
