Do You Need a Fireplace Restoration

If you have a had chimney fire then you definitely need a restoration, but some of other the other signs may not be as noticeable. Check for spalling or crumbling brick and mortar joints. You will also want to be aware if your chimney crown and damper is working properly.

These things can be hard to recognize. In fact, most homeowners aren’t aware if their chimney is up to strict building codes and standards, so we always suggest having a yearly inspection by a properly certified chimney company.

If you notice any of these signs then call Winston’s Chimney Service. Our restoration process is thorough and we make sure to educate you on all matters.

Our Restoration Process

1. Provide a Thorough Inspection
   This includes the inside and outside of the chimney. We can determine where the problem is located and suggest what repairs you may need, or if you need a full chimney restoration.
2. Check Current Structure & Understand Maintenance Codes
   Chimneys, like any other part of your home, must be up to maintenance codes. We will check your current structure and then familiarize our team with the correct codes for your area before making any repairs or starting a rebuild.
3. Develop a Plan & Budget
   Restorations require more time than a standard chimney sweeping. Our team works with you to determine a timeline and a budget that fits your needs and gets your restoration completed before you are ready to use your fireplace.
4. Complete the Work
   The actual work inside and outside your home begins from replacing liners and caps to rebuilding the masonry of your chimney.
5. Set Up Yearly Maintenance
   A full restoration can be avoided with proper care and maintenance. After finishing your chimney we work with you to set up yearly appointments to keep your chimney in good health.
