"They did a very clean job, laying down tarp around the work area. Once they were done, they vacuumed the space around the fireplace to collect any debris. The technician informed me of some cracks that were beginning to develop on hearth and provided an estimate for replacement which was appreciated. He wasn't pushy at all, just informing me of my options and said that I would be fine getting another season out of it. I definitely appreciate their honesty. At this point I'm more inclined to replace the whole unit with an EPA certified gas system, but I'd definitely look to them in the future for maintenance."

"I highly recommend Certified Chimney of Holtsville. A lightning strike caused damage to my chimney. I needed a new liner as well as a new cement crown and other work done to bring my chimney back up to snuff. The owner, Charles and his two associates (Christian and Christopher) did an outstanding job. They are extremely professional, neat and friendly. They completed the job quickly and the most important thing is that I was given a very decent price. If you need chimney work done, donâ t hesitate to call them."

"I reached out to trip advisor and the name of the company came up I called they came and talked. The chimney was used for a wood stove but has not been used in close to 3 years. They suggested the wrap in wire and the cement over it. then seal it and put a cap on it. They worked hard but the underlayment of the wire shows and the cement is not put on to look very nice at all I do not think they used enough cement and did not know how to put that on so it would look like stucco or a cement chimney.. I really think for $2000.00. It could look better. I am disappointed because I used home advisor in hopes of not being dissatisfied and I did this trying to help a friend and I feel like we were actually taken advantage of. I will be unsubscribing from homeadvisore. I thought the company would be good companies. We were persistent and sent pictures. They returned Wednesday Sept 11, 2019. The chimney s appearance is acceptable. They said they were sorry and it was because of the cement mix. My Friend Heidi that owns the home is satisfied with its appearance and the cement overlay looks better now so hopefully it will remain looking good. I will say that they did come back to make the improvements. Thank You Heidi"

FAQs for fireplace and wood stove service projects in Southport, CT

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.
