Let me introduce myself and tell you about us. I’m Mike, the founder and owner of MCP Chimney and Masonry. MCP is a company I started in 1994 with only an old pickup, three hundred dollars, and a mission to treat all of my customers like family. Today, each MCP employee is trained to provide the highest quality chimney work. We want to be more than just your average contractor, we want to be the personal chimney and masonry company that you can trust and rely on for a lifetime. As you can imagine, trustworthiness in a chimney company is paramount. Customers cannot easily see chimney work that is recommended. MCP treats our customers the way we like to be treated as customers. I am so grateful that our customers’ trust in us over the years has spurred our growth despite minimal advertising. These word of mouth recommendations of our fiercely loyal customer base has pushed MCP from a single employee with a single truck to twenty-five year-round employees working in fully staffed offices. We hope you will give us a chance to be your trusted chimney company. We will work hard to keep you happy.

Chimneys and fireplaces never go out of style. From older townhomes in Washington,D.C. to newer ranch-style homes in Northern Virginia and Central Maryland, homeowners gather around their fireplaces nightly for meals, television, homework and entertainment. It’s a gathering place for their busy lifestyles. Additionally, for many other homeowners, it’s a source of heat. Your fireplace works hard during the cold fall and freezing winter to keep your home comfortable. It has to be working at maximum capacity, year-round, to provide the heat your home needs. We understand your situation perfectly! Genesis Chimney has certified and experienced technicians who can install, clean, repair and service your chimney and fireplace. We are certified by the CSIA (Chimney Safety institute of America), Certified Chimney Sweep, Masonry Repairs, Chimney Relining and Chimney Physics. (Certification number 10034). We are also an NFI (National Fireplace Institute) Certified Gas Specialist.

"Amazing service and value!"

Fireplaces questions, answered by experts

Creosote logs can help to reduce new creosote build-up by about 60%, however they don’t replace regular cleaning. While creosote logs can help to prevent build-up of creosote in your chimney, they won’t remove build-up that’s already there. Creosote logs can be used as a preventative measure in conjunction with regular cleaning, but you will still need to clean your chimney about once per year.

If you don’t clean your chimney regularly, it can result in a build-up of creosote that can ignite and cause a chimney fire. In addition, creosote build-up can result in poor venting of smoke, soothes, and carbon monoxide, making the air quality indoors dangerously poor. Creosote is also acidic and can damage mortar and metal over time, allowing smoke to leak into your home.

Most repairs take 2-6 hours, but extensive fixes or part replacements may require additional time.

A sneaky but important element to how long your new fireplace runs is choosing the right burner size. Avoid choosing a bioethanol fireplace with a small burner (less than two gallons) and opt for one that holds between two to four gallons for a longer burn time or else you’ll be stuck frequently refilling your fireplace.

No—though they are related. A flue is a pipe that runs the length of your chimney and carries smoke outside when a fire is burning. The damper is a metal plate that helps control airflow to the firebox, depending on whether it’s open or closed.
