Our Services

Our Fireplace Services Include

No matter the size or scope, every repair project involves craftsmanship, attention to detail, and clear communication throughout the process. We offer a range of specific fireplace and chimney repair services including firebox repair, crown repair, tuckpointing, and complete chimney rebuilds.

  • Firebox Repair: Fireboxes weaken with age and can sustain damage if a chimney fire occurs. Broken bricks, cracked mortar, and other small imperfections can lead to larger, more serious issues.
  • Tuckpointing: Tuckpointing is needed when the mortar between bricks is cracked or missing, and helps prevent water from entering into your home or the chimney system.
  • Crown Repair: Cracked or crumbling crowns caused by age and weather exposure are easy to spot during routine inspection. If cracks are not sealed, water penetrates the crown causing moisture damage.
  • Spalling: Spalling occurs when moisture seeps into a brick and enters the destructive cycle of freezing and thawing. Spalling bricks on the inside or outside of your chimney will crumble, flake, and even fall out completely.
  • Rebuilds: In some cases, chimney damage is so extensive that it requires a complete rebuild. The scope of each rebuild depends on the damage discovered, and may affect the entire chimney or just a portion of it.

Do I Need To Replace My Stovepipe?

Whether you need to replace your stovepipe depends on factors such as its age, frequency of use, and fuel type. Inspect for rust, corrosion, leaks, or creosote buildup. If you notice these signs, it's likely time to replace the stovepipe. Consult a professional for proper installation.
