"From the estimate to the completed work, I am very happy with how things went. The woman who answers the phone for Ace Chimney was so pleasant , Pete , who came for the estimate and also did the work with an another gentleman was very personable and explained my options. They came when they said they would, performed the work as stated in the contract, and left my patio very clean. I would recommend this company. They charge a fair price for an excellent job and are truly appreciative that you chose them for the job. This is something not often found today, and this is one customer who is grateful there are still businesses that feel this way."

"Nick did a very professional evaluation of where my ceiling leak was originating from. He climbed into the attic and crawled into a difficult location to find the leak and wet wood. He took pictures and video to show me where water was entering my home. He gave me a excellent estimate and returned within 24hrs to do the repair. All of the work was done and cleanup was excellent. He explained each part of the repair. I would definitely rec Nick to anybody that needs a honest roof repairman!!! And the best part...he is a GREAT GUY !!!"

"I think they need to plan better for their workmen to get to site. It might be a one off but we had a van come from Bethpage out to Yonkers, when there is more than one office in the NY area...Friendly and professional and thorough. We ended up paying more than we thought but the chimney hadn't been looked at in quite a while by the previous owners, and there was obvious physical deterioration. They sorted everything including exterior brickwork and left the place tidy. I was pleased with the result."

Customers say: Terrific value
"Paul did an amazing job, he cleaned our wood stove chimney from inside and outside , which none of the previous guys did before. He was the fourth one we called after the others before him refused the job because our chimney outside is on a steep roof. He is reliable, professional and he knows what he is doing. He is honest and he went beyond expectations in what he was doing."

"Shamrock Maintenance Corp. did an excellent job cleaning and inspecting our wood burning stove. The technician arrived on time, was professional, and explained everything clearly before starting the work. They made sure the area was protected and left everything clean once the job was completed. I appreciated how thorough the inspection was and the time they took to answer our questions. It’s hard to find reliable service these days, but they definitely delivered. Highly recommend."

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.
