Clear breakdown of work, materials, timeline, costs, and explanations.
Protect home with drop cloths; remove damaged materials for rebuilds.
Certified masons rebuild firebox with proper materials, dimensions, draft.
We clean thoroughly, verify proper operation, and test for safety. You’ll get instructions for proper use and maintenance.
Firebricks wear from heating cycles; we replace them with high-temperature refractory materials for durability.
Mortar between firebricks breaks down over time. We repoint joints using high-temperature refractory mortar designed for fireboxes.
The firebox back wall takes the most heat and often fails first. We rebuild back walls with proper materials and correct angles for optimal draft.
Cracked or damaged hearths create safety hazards. We repair or rebuild hearths to code requirements.
Some fireboxes were built with wrong dimensions, causing smoking and poor draft. We rebuild to correct specifications for proper operation.
The smoke chamber above the firebox can crack or deteriorate. We repair or rebuild smoke chambers to ensure proper smoke flow.
Damaged or missing dampers waste energy and allow animals in. We repair or replace dampers as part of firebox restoration.
REVIEWS
Outstanding Chimney Brick Repair! I hired Red Brick Chimney to repair the brickwork on my dad’s 75-year-old house, and I couldn’t be happier. Mike was professional, punctual, and clearly experienced. He carefully assessed the damage, explained the work, and gave a fair estimate — unlike other companies that wanted to remove and cap the old chimney for more money. Mike’s repair was excellent: the bricks were repointed, mortar joints reinforced, and metal mesh added to keep animals out. He worked safely, cleaned up daily, and kept us updated throughout. I’m extremely satisfied with the quality and service. Mike went above and beyond — my dad’s old chimney looks brand new again! Highly recommend Red Brick Chimney Ltd.
Mike @ Red Brick was good to deal with. He provided me an estimate that was clear and detailed the work needed. He was very in tune with what had to be done to my aging chimneys. (I had issues with one chimney leaking water at the base after heavy rain.) I was impressed with the great job he did overall. My chimneys look way better. The new flashing looks good and I’m confident the leaking issue is fixed. He gave me a written warranty. I would highly recommend Mike and Red Brick Chimney!
We needed some help with a chimney removal and Mike was great. Easy to reach, prompt, reasonable, helpful and professional. Good guy, good work, best price of anyone we talked to.
Very happy with the work done on my chimney flashing. Clean, affordable and professional. Would recommend to anyone needing any chimney/masonry repair.
