One local team to inspect chimneys and fireplaces in Boulevard Park Isles

Painting over a water stain near the fireplace hides the problem for a while, and our family team would rather find it for you in Boulevard Park Isles. As a locally owned company, we repair chimney leaks, crowns, caps, flashing and masonry. We service the fireplaces below as well, so the stain can be traced to its source and fixed there.

A stain is where water ended up, not where it entered. Water can travel along framing, along the outside of a flue or down the inside of the masonry before it shows. Brick industry guidance on masonry maintenance puts water at the root of most deterioration and calls for finding the source before repairing the surface.

Paint, filler or new drywall treat the surface only. We start at the top. The cap, the crown, the flashing and the masonry face are checked in turn, and the inside of the flue is examined where we can reach it. If the source is still unclear after that, a hose water test can settle it, and we tell you why the job calls for one before it happens.

Once the water is stopped, the interior finish can be repaired by whoever you choose. Tell us where the stain is, when it appeared and whether it grows after rain. Mention any roof work or painting done near the chimney. If the stain has been painted over before, say so. That history matters. The free inspection comes with a free written estimate that lists the source repair apart from any interior work, with upfront pricing.

Approve the source repair within 72 hours of that free inspection, and a 10% discount comes with it. We cover open work at the close of each day and haul the debris away. The written record of the work tells you what we found and fixed.
