"We called Dunrite initially for a cleaning (both oil and wood chimney), which was done very well; during the cleaning we were informed that the liner for the oil chimney needed to be replaced. Additionally, our outside bricks on the chimney were in need of TLC (repointing etc.) We got bids from Dunrite and 2 other vendors, and decided to go with Dunrite (one of the other bids was $1000 more!) It was also nice to be able to pay with a credit card. The guys worked hard and fast in blistering heat without complaining. The office people were terrific too. We were very happy with the work and the price."

"Chimney Magic was very knowledgeable about code and requirements around stainless steel liners being required for clay fireplaces. They waterproofed the chimney after installing the liner, even rebuilding part of the chimney that had loose bricks. They were professional and really explained the issues. I highly recommend them!"

"They arrived on time. Work took longer than expected. Some spots could have been pointed more carefully. In a couple of spots the mortar fell out after the first fire. They were neat and cleaned up after finishing the job."

"We hired Quality 1st to clean two chimneys that were in terrible shape, install new dampers, and removed an old wood stove. Oscar and his team were polite, knowledgeable, and professional. They called me back immediately to schedule an estimate and provided. a timely, detailed quote. Oscar even went out of his way to check on a possible safety issue for us. Quality 1st arrived on time and had everything installed and cleaned up in just two hours. We appreciated how careful they were with our floors and rugs. The pricing was quite fair and Oscar stuck with our original quote even though we needed an additional repair. Oscar is reliable, honest, and a pleasure to work with. We highly recommend Quality 1st."

"Extremely knowledgeable and very dependable , John arrived on time and quickly installed my stove /cook top. What we didn t foresee was that the new stove/cook top was deeper than original so utensil draw would not fit. But Mr . John said ... I can fix it, and he did. Thank you John"
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.
