Chimney Repair
Making your chimney safe and functional with regular chimney maintenance and chimney repairs
Chimneys - The Joy Of Every Chilly Day
As summer nights blend with brisk autumn mornings and turn into freezing winter days, a chimney brings comfort & warmth.
But this idyllic image of reading a book by the fireplace can turn into a nightmare if your chimney is not working well.
Chimney repair is a must in any house. If left unchecked, damaged chimneys can start a fire, give you carbon monoxide poisoning and ruin your evenings with a smoky fireplace.
You can avoid all that and enjoy time spent inside by checking your chimneys regularly and doing chimney repairs when first signs emerge.
Common Chimney Issues And Why They Happen In The First Place
Leaking chimney & water damage
- Damaged flashing (the part at the base of the chimney, where the chimney meets the roof). Improper flashing means your chimney is no longer waterproof.
- Damaged chimney cap no longer covers the flue and rain is pouring straight down into your fireplace.
Improper ventilation and burning
- A missing chimney cap allows birds to build nests inside debris like twigs and leaves can get stuck. This causes poor ventilation and excess smoke.
- Creosote (wood-burning residue) buildup.
- Improperly built chimney & firebox size.
Leaning chimney
- Cracked and missing mortar joints damaged by weather and time make the chimney lose stability and start to lean.
- Improper chimney footing & building.
Before & After Chimney Repair
Before
Chimney masonry and joints are cracked, incorrect chimney crown, and missing chimney caps.

Kelly Masonry came highly recommended and did not disappoint. They installed a large patio and did an exceptional job.
The job was complex and came with many hurdles, but John made it simple, straightforward and did not pinch pennies. I have recommended them to family and friends.

Kelly Masonry installed a large patio and stairs at our house, and my wife and I couldn’t be happier. They were extremely easy to work with, including going through a couple design modifications, and provided excellent work.
I’d be excited to use them again and have recommended them to a number of friends.
