"It took forever to finally get on the schedule to have the work done once we contracted with them and got the parts ordered. There was also a little confusion over the gas burner that we could have with the log set we had ordered. I think we started the process in early November and were told we would have it done in the first couple weeks of December. We kept being told that there were others on the schedule ahead of us that needed to be completed. We finally got it scheduled and were told it would be a 2-3 day job. I believe the installation took place the week of January 15. It ended up being the full week, but the workers were very diligent, hard working, and cleaned up after themselves very completely. They even braved some extreme weather conditions to get up on the roof and install the chimney liner. We were very happy with the finished product and would have been more irritated with the delays in getting scheduled if we were actually occupying the house at the time. We moved in a couple weeks after the job was completed and have really enjoyed our new fireplace!

"I was impressed with Chuck from Shamrock Chimney. He was realistic in his discussion and went thru various options from converting to a gas fireplace to wood inserts. He discussed the issues with the existing field stone face and converting to a two way fireplace. He certainly made me comfortable to consider Shamrock should the project move forward."

"The response time from the first inquiry was excellent. The technician was very polite, knowledgeable, professional , friendly and knew exactly what I needed and wanted done on my gas fireplace. He worked in a timely fashion, and was very aware of keeping all dirt , etc., onto a covered area so my carpet stayed cleaned. I would definitely recommend this company to anyone that needs repairs, parts, a new fireplace, etc. to their fireplace. I have already scheduled my yearly inspection for 2024. Very pleased and thankful for Dennis Hearth & Home. Great job!"

"We had an old fireplace which we wanted to give a new contemporary look to. We knew exactly what we wanted but wanted to do it under the budget. After speaking to 3 different companies, we went ahead with D& S masonary...Sean was the reason we chose this place. Not only is he personable, but also very professional . He tried his best to keep our budget on track and delivered a great service. His team was also very courteous and professional. I have to mention Greg who completed the odd ends exactly per our liking. Also, since this project was done in the middle of winter, there were days which were completely snowed in but these guys made sure they came to finish their work. A wonderful team and a pleasure to work with. I would recommend Sean, Jennifer and Greg to anyone looking for Masonary work."

"They did a very nice job. My fireplace looked like new. I had some trouble with the pilot light and now it works really well. They were very prompt. I have had them out since then to replace a chimney cap. I will use them again."

"The fireplace was very dirty and is now much better! The damper was not fully closing, resulting in a smokey smell through the house on windy days. The door of the fireplace had come loose on one side and was flopping around.
Service was prompt and he did a nice job making repairs and cleaning the fireplace & chimney. No mess in the house.

"We picked out the slate tile we wanted and began the process of desiging. We had an idea of how we wanted it to look but had some concerns due to an irregular size fireplace. We sent Nosh a picture of our fireplace and the next day, he met us at the tile shop to help us complete the design. He was very professional and knowledgeable and had a keen eye for what looked right. He had excellent suggestions and his input proved to be invaluable as some of our ideas would not have worked. He installed the tile in one day and It looks absolutely awesome! He was fast and efficient and cleaned up thoroughly upon completion. We are extremely happy with his work and plan on using him again for our bathroom.

"D&F was really easy to work with. Our person, Demaris, was knowledgeable and kind. He gave us important advice on keeping our gas fireplace clean and safe from carbon monoxide. He was prompt and cleaned up the area after himself. I was worried that cleaning a chimney would result in a mess. Not the case. Demaris made sure it was ready for use. I highly recommend this provider."

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.
