Chimneys need repair for several reasons. Age alone is a primary reason. Like everything else, they wear out. In our area the biggest factor is the weather. When there has been rain followed by a freeze any exterior masonry can be damaged due to the porous nature of brick and mortar. The Freezing temps can cause expansion which leads to cracks.
Chimneys should be serviced (cleaned) regularly as the soot buildup (creosote) is flammable and can catch the chimney on fire. Chimney fires can burn extremely hot and can spread to nearby wood structures. Regular cleaning greatly reduces the risk of a chimney fire. Many people think that having their chimney cleaned might be a messy prospect for their home.
This depends on how much it is used. A wood stove used for heat may need to be cleaned several times a year. Any time you can see 1/8th inch of creosote build up on the flue, cleaning is recommended. When wood is burned the smoke and exhaust goes up the flue. There it cools and dries and forms a deposit called creosote on the insides of the chimney walls.

I hired this company to rebuild my crumbling chimney. I had a really good experience from start to finish. Professional, knowledgeable and tidy. Every member of the team went the extra mile to get the job done. They even refunded promptly for work that ultimately wasn't needed. My rain damper from the old chimney was newer and didn't need to be replaced. The new chimney is really beautiful and I'll try to add a picture later. I would not hesitate to recommend them. 100% satisfied.

I had them come out to inspect and clean my two chimneys. A young, personable man came out but he did nothing. I am angry at myself for paying the $300 for 15 minutes of him just standing there talking to me. Make sure you get what you want done before you pay. I don’t like writing bad reviews but I’m still upset about this. Once they got the money they never finished the job.

The whole team at Oregon Chimney was amazing from Jeff's bid and information he shared before I started the work, to the team who built 2 chimneys for me in 4 days. They deserve a shout out Jorge, Eddie, Rigo, Zab, Bryan, Isabella, they never stopped working, always answered my daily morning questions.. Jorge even finished my main chimney with an Art Deco design to blend with the base of my chimney which was built in 1929, I did not ask for this feature but this shows how dedicated they are to getting it right and make their work stand out. Well done.!! They cleaned up everything including

Oregon Chimney removed an old furnace chimney, patched the roof, and replaced the deteriorating mortar in our main chimney. The quality of the work was fantastic, as was the cleanup. Amique at the main office was really outstanding and helped us make sure that the finished product was absolutely perfect. Highly recommended!

I asked for a quote and OR Chimney sent one of their techs out. Said he needed to get the quote approved first by someone in the office then they would send it to me to approve and sign. They had it reviewed and sent to me with a contract to sign. I looked it over and signed it and sent it back to them. I called to schedule the work and I was told they needed to review the job again. A few days later someone else came out to assess the chimney again and I was sent an updated quote of $2000 more than the original quote on the job. When I sent an email asking for someone to call me about this I didn

Your employee Casey came to to my home Tuesday 11/3/2020 to inspect, clean my chimney and wood stove. He spent several hours cleaning years worth of build up and did an amazing job. I tried to offer him a tip which he could not accept. I want to make sure you know how appreciative I am of him and your company and will refer to anyone who has asks.
Thank you again for excellent customer service, great job, and reassuring me that my fireplace is now safe to use in the winter. Giving me a safe piece of mind now knowing heating my home is safer is priceless and completely appreciated!

We're very satisfied with our experience with Oregon Chimney Repair. Jeff gave us a clear and easy-to-understand bid, and the work was scheduled soon after, weather permitting. The day Joey came to do the chimney work we didn't even know he was here! He removed and replaced tiles, removed moss, ground out and regrouted the damaged sections (dyeing the mortar to match), applied waterproof cement to some areas, and will return in a few days to apply sealant. He did a great job and left our place spotless. It's great to know that we have a 5-year warranty as well!

We didn’t use our fireplace between buying our house a year ago and early December but when we had Oregon Chimney come to sweep it, we discovered it was not only overdue for cleaning but also not up to code.… The grate was positioned too low (some smoke wasn’t getting up the flue and it was challenging to get a hot fire going) and the gas starter line sat on TOP of the grate, which left it damaged. But as of today we’ve got a safe and functional fireplace again! Shout out to Dallas and Oregon Chimney for the excellent work!!

I had Oregon Chimney out to tear down and rebuild my chimneys because one of them was falling apart and rain was leaking into my ceiling. I loved getting to choose my own color bricks; the replacements chimneys are beautiful and solid craftsmanship. I still had an issue with my roof leaking around the chimney after the the work was completed. Fortunately, the team at Oregon Chimney worked hard on my issue until it was completely fixed. This looked like them wrapping it until they could fix it, repairing the flashing then coming back 2 times during hard rain to ensure it was not leaking. After all

Oregon Chimney to the rescue! New to Portland we purchased a charming 1920’s North Portland bungalow that also came with all the fun challenges a near 100 year old home brings.
Our chimney was in dire condition, you could actually see through it. After a few bids we landed on one we felt was fair and comfortable.
Communication was what you would hope and want, very responsive. Work started and finished right on time. We have unusual bricks on our chimney and wanted to ensure these were reused. With this professional team you would have no idea our chimney was deconstructed and reconstructed

I recently had this company come out and inspect a fireplace because I have had water come into the downstairs walk out basement around the fireplace. I did this because a company called Brick by Brick recommended that my water problems were not do to poor soil drainage but due to the fireplace itself. I first called Portland Chimney and Masonry Inc. They came out and said I needed $1600 worth of work on the fireplace and that would solve my water coming into the house problems . Thank goodness I got a second opinion from Oregon Chimney Repair and Cleaning!! This company was so honest and forthright

I do not recommend this company at all, I bought a home and they came out to my home and did a inspection, they missed many things, the mortar is all cracked and the Chimney needs to be sealed, I have water seeping into my house and I can not get a return phone call. They also supposedly cleaned my fireplace and fixed the damper, I am still unable to you my fireplaces... beware before you choose Oregon Chimney...
