Inspection and Evaluation
Leaks can be expensive! A quick inspection is easy and free. Chimneys come in all different shapes and sizes varying from small compactly framed roof top structures to expansive multi-story architectural features built into the side of a home. Chimneys are constructed of varying material types such as cement block, brick and stone, or they can be wood framed structures that are veneered with differing types of siding or stucco.
Chimney Siding Replacement
Age and wear & tear will eventually force repairs to older wood and composite siding products that rot and decay and eventually begin to leak. Chimney leaks many times go undetected causing internal rot and costly damage.
Hardie Siding and trim have since replaced these older products, however proper installation, including the right flashing, underlayment, and a properly designed custom fabricated chimney cap are essential on every chimney.

All About Chimneys
Chimneys come in all different shapes and sizes varying from small compactly framed roof top structures to expansive multi-story architectural features built into the side of a home. Chimneys are constructed of varying material types such as cement block, brick and stone, or they can be wood framed structures that are veneered with differing types of siding or stucco. Chimney problems develop or time, and because they are mostly on the roof and thereby out of sight, these problems are often undetected until significant damage is already done.
Contributing to the dilemma, problematic chimney design, workmanship deficiency, and siding material failure commonly used throughout the 80’s and 90’s all make to increase the probability of needed attention. We are experts in all these facets and have the expertise to allow you to comfortably forget all about your chimney again, unless of course, you’d just like to enjoy a nice warm fire.
