Chimney rebuilding is usually suggested with the bricks, stones, mortar, or other masonry has lost it's structural integrity. Spalling, cracking, or deterioration of the brick and loss of adhesion andr /or wear of the mortar joints compromise the chimney and can allow water to leak in, or even pieces of the chimney to fall off!
If your chimney structure is still good, but cracks in the joints are starting to develop, Chimney Tuck-Pointing is way to maintain the chimney structure and prevent leaking chimneys. If the chimney structure is bad, or if enough of the mortar has been damaged, often a rebuild of the chimney structure is recommended.

Technician arrived as planned. Looked at flue as requested. Cleaned flue and inside of fireplace. Cleared intake vents. Recommended a minor change in metal cap of wooden chimney (its an insert fireplace) which we implemented. All went very well at a reasonable cost.

I was very happy with how everything came out. The crew was professional and clean. The only reason I didn't give a 5 star rating is because I never received a confirmation of the scheduled date. Not a big deal. I would recommend them and use them again if needed.

I originally asked for a cleaning, assuming that was part of the reason our chimney stunk up the whole house. Beforehand, I got a call with tips on how abate some of the smell (air pressure, who knew) but he would take a closer look when he arrived. When the guy arrived, it turns out our chimney had a major problem and requires a lot more work than we thought—he was kind enough to recommend next steps and not even charge for the inspection!

5 stars really aren't enough to give this company. It is so refreshing to have someone come out, inspect your fireplace, fix something and give you complete honesty. After looking at my chimney he told me that it really didn't need a cleaning and gave me some great advice on what to do down the road. I would HIGHLY recommend this company to anyone and will use them again when we actually do need a cleaning in a few years.

Kurt was so patient and honest. In a day in age where it feels like everyone is trying to price gauge you, we felt the exact opposite about Kurt and his business. We highly recommend Smoke Stacks, Inc.!

We have had Smoke Stacks look at our chimneys at both of our houses. They did a chimney sweep for one and said the other was fine and said they didn't need to sweep it.

They are very thorough and provide good information on how to care for the chimney. Pricing is affordable as well.

Book ahead of time as they are scheduling way out.

I bought my house this time last year. I hadnt paid attention to the fireplace because of other projects and wasnt sure what was working and not working because the flew wouldnt close I know its a lousy time to have the chimney cleaned, however I really wanted to be able to use it this winter.
Kurt came out for the inspection and maybe cleaning. He was prompt, amiable and very knowledgeable. Turns out I didn't need it cleaned, but should have it replaced in the nearer future. Or have it converted as my house was built in 1947. He refused to take payment for the 15 min visit. Great service

We contacted Kurt to inspect and clean our wood burning fireplace. We had just bought our house so knew very little about this type of fireplace and how to take care if it. Kurt was super quick to respond to our request and when he came out to see us he was on time, which I really appreciated.

Kurt did a full inspection and in the end actually told us we didn't need the chimney cleaned at this time. So instead of just doing that work and charging us for it, he spent his time educating us about how to maintain it and what to look out for. He also advised us on how frequently we should

I have a extremely large and unique fireplace. I was looking for a new chimney sweep company as I was not exactly happy with the previous one I hired. I saw the excellent reviews and called Kurt and had him come to clean the fireplace. Best decision I made. He looked over my fireplace, explained some of the unique features of it, and also told me it didn’t need to be cleaned. And just for good measure, because it is very tall, he went up on the roof and looked down to make sure. I asked him what I owed him and he let me know that there was no charge considering there was nothing needed to be

Kurt from Smoke Stacks is fantastic! He's easy to work with, shows up on time, and is refreshingly honest. My chimney needed very little, he told me so, and shockingly charged me way less then I expected. It is great to find repair people that have such integrity.

I recently bought a house and have never had a natural fireplace before. I called Kurt from Smoke Stacks and set up a time to make sure my chimney was clean and the fireplace was safe to use.

Kurt showed up on time, was professional, and extremely helpful. He came in and looked at my fireplace and chimney and within minutes said that it was clean, and there was no need to do a deeper inspection. He even took the time to explain how to use the natural fireplace and safety tips and how-to's. When he was all done he stated that there was no need to pay him for the trip since he didn&apos

Excellent company to work with. Kurt came out to give the estimate and was very upfront with the cost and condition of our project. He also provided some less expensive, yet just as high quality options for us. Once the work was started it was done in timely manner, completed before the deadline and no mess was left behind! We now have a beautiful functioning fireplace instead of one that posed a fire hazard, the chimney tiles were replaced, a new insert installed and it works great. Thank you to Kurt and his crew for an excellent repair and install. I highly recommend this company to fix your

Heard great things about this company. Hired him and signed the contract of which he signed and sent back. The day before he was to come to our house, I called and asked when we are picking out the brick colors. He said he is not coming because he would lose money on the job because he mis quoted it. I offered to split the difference and he said no. Even though he signed the contract. If he makes a mistake, he does not honor his agreement. From what I know, he does good work but very poor business practices. His prices were not the cheapest but not the most either

SmokeStacks Inc. is the most professional chimney service company we have ever dealt with! Kurt gave us the most honest and thorough inspection, explaining in detail what repairs and cleaning were needed.
We were so impressed with his work that I referred him to my parents home so after. He was so kind and friendly to my folks and commented that my father burns the right type of wood since his chimney looked quite clean...since it had been a very long time since the last cleaning.
making my elderly parents quite happy to know they are now safe to
continue to enjoy the fireplace...
I HIGHLY recommend

You won't be disappointed!!
We've called Kurt about 3 or 4 time and every time he has impressed us. Most recently, we had our chimney rebuilt. We live in an older home and we knew when we bought our house that we would need to do some chimney repairs. This project lasted several days. His crew was very respectful, timely, and followed through on everything they said. The chimney looks great. The pricing was similar to all the other professionals and we like him so much that we gave him the project.
Kurt is so professional, honest, and kind. I was impressed with how personable he was. No doubt

We're in our first house with our first fireplace, so knowing how dangerous an unswept chimney can be, we brought Kurt in to inspect our chimney and clean it if necessary. Kurt was effortless to schedule with via email, he arrived on time, and was incredibly friendly and informative. Our chimney didn't end up needing a cleaning, but now we know more about our fireplace and will know who to call if it ever needs servicing. A+

Great! Communication was definitely easy, always called back when I left a message. Showed up when promised, great work cleaning and inspecting and answering questions. Having a new home and lots of questions because we never had a fireplace before, they really helped us out, without charging an obscene amount and did not try to sell us more service than needed.
