Chimney & fireplace repairs

Honest quotes, and repairs built back to code.

When a repair is needed — or a problem shows up during a routine sweep — we quote it honestly and do the work ourselves, built to IRC Chapter 10 and NFPA 211.

Signs your chimney needs repair

Smoke coming into the room, a smoky smell on humid days, water stains near the fireplace, crumbling mortar on the outside of the stack, or a damper that won't close. Each of these usually points to a specific problem we can find on an inspection.

How pricing works

Repairs are quoted after an inspection, so you know the price before any work begins. We don't guess repair prices over the phone — you can upload photos with your booking request, which often saves a visit.

Smoke chamber specialists

An unparged smoke chamber is one of the most common causes of a smoky fireplace. See the diagrams and the Ahrens Chamber-Tech brochure on our fireplace repairs page.
