Chimneys, fireplaces and gas units serviced in Franklin Park

Diagnosis before repair is the promise our family-owned chimney company makes to homes in Franklin Park. A chimney fails as a system, and the visible crack or stain is often the tail of a chain that started somewhere else. Water, heat and movement are the usual forces behind that chain. Water enters through the top, the flashing or the masonry and works its way down.

Heat from the fire and the flue gases stresses the liner, the firebox and the smoke chamber. Movement, from settling or from the liner and masonry expanding at different rates, opens joints and cracks crowns. NFPA 211 and the chimney chapter of the Florida Building Code both treat the chimney this way, as parts that depend on each other.

Our free inspection follows that logic and closes with a written estimate that names the cause, the repair and anything we could not see. Repairing the symptom alone, such as painting over a stain or patching one crack, tends to buy time rather than solve the problem. We say so when that is the case, and we also say when a small repair really is enough.

The estimate's repairs come with 10% off when you approve them within 72 hours of the free inspection that found them. Each item carries its own upfront price, with no hidden fees, so you can decide which repairs happen now and which are scheduled later. Our work in Franklin Park covers crowns, caps, chase covers, flashing, masonry, stucco, stone, liners, dampers and wood, gas and electric fireplaces.

Open work is protected from rain overnight, and debris is hauled away when we finish. You get the work in writing, a record of each repair and part, backed by our workmanship warranty.
