"It went great from the minute we started working with them. Paula provided advice, sent us to the warehouses to pick out options, and discussed options. We opted for one of the higher priced granites and Paula worked out a plan to optimize the use of the granite. Work was done well, on time, crew was great. I get compliments whenever we have guests or other contractors in. I'm writing another review because we just used them again."

"Owner Lee Haas was very professional and precise. He was extremely cautious to make sure that everything that was being ordered was correct. He came daily to make sure everything was proceeding to our liking and his standards. Installers, Doug, Jon, and Mike, were very courteous and took pains to be precise in their craft. They even discovered something that had been installed by the original company that was not to code and potentially dangerous. Tarps and sheets were spread on our floors to prevent accidental damage. A tarp was spread in our garage to collect all the debris; and when they finished in the garage, the entire garage was swept clean! Some stone was ground off on our deck; and when they completed, they took a hose and washed off the entire deck! We are extremely pleased with our new fireplace. And, we are very pleased with Firewater and the way we were treated!"

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.
