"My experience with Chicago Chimney Service was the best thing that has happened for me in a long time. Toni in the office is wonderful with the customer service, keeping you informed of all you need to know about your project. Mario, comes out to give you a honest assessment and estimate of the job. In my case, my chimney was in very bad shape. Mario checked it out, took pictures, showed me what was wrong and told me how he would repair it. They gave me a good price, showed up on the set date and time, got right to work, and finished almost two hours ahead of schedule! My chimney and crown looks great! Mario and Miguel are miracle workers! I am so pleased with my chimney! I highly recommend Chicago Chimney Services. Call them, you won't regret it. I will be calling them back to tuckpoint some areas on the rest of my house."

"Rob did an excellent job of cleaning and repairing our fireplace and chimney which have not been serviced for over 20 years. We have yet to fire it up, but will feel comfortable doing so when the time comes. Rob provides a rare service and we recommend him highly."

"Exceptional work by Erik at a reasonable price. Erik also brought an exposed roof nail to our attention which he fixed, preventing a leak down the road. Honest and experienced. We will be using Chimney Crafters for our chimney maintenance from here on out!"

Chimney Sweep questions, answered by experts

Some of the most common chimney problems include:

  • Creosote buildup

  • Chimney blockage

  • Deteriorating brickwork or stonework

  • Cracked chimney top

  • Damaged flashing

  • Flue liner damage or deterioration

  • Damaged chimney cap

If you suspect you have a chimney problem, contact a masonry contractor for an inspection. 

Depending on the amount of soot present, you can vacuum some of it using a brush attachment on your vacuum cleaner. Then, remove the leftovers with a mild cleaner, such as dish soap or vinegar mixed with water. Before applying a cleaning solution, saturate the bricks with clean water to prevent the cleaner from penetrating beyond the surface and causing structural damage to the bricks.

Pricing a fire-damaged house is tricky, and it’s best to involve some professionals. First, get a comprehensive repair estimate from a fire damage restoration expert. Next, have a real estate agent get you an as-repaired value for the home, which represents what the house would be worth if fully repaired. Subtract the repair estimate from the as-repaired value to get the as-is value.

Hazard insurance is the part of your overall homeowner's insurance policy that covers the structure of your home and other structures on your property, as well as any personal property within those structures. When a lender requires you to get hazard insurance for your new home purchase, they’re referring to a standard homeowner’s insurance policy.

Yes, mineral spirits are flammable and may spontaneously combust at temperatures of 200 degrees F or more. Storing them in well-ventilated spaces and disposing of them the proper way are the best ways to prevent mineral spirits or anything contaminated with them, like towels and rags, from going up in smoke.
