I called for an estimate last November. Kurt (owner) arrived promptly, inspected the chimney and gave several options about what could be done, including total repair, just tuck pointing or doing nothing immediately as the chimney wasn't leaking. The chimney had multiple bricks that had popped off over the years, mortar wearing away. We decided after thinking about the information we were given, to have the entire chimney redone above the roof line. Kurt emailed us an estimate and said if we decided to go with him, the price would be good until spring when weather would allow him to begin work. Once we decided to use Smoke stacks, we signed the estimate, no down payment was required.
We got a call a few days before work was to start this spring to confirm it was ok to go ahead with the work. Crew arrived promptly on the appointed day. They worked in inclement weather, cleaned up all the dust and debris daily and consolidated all their equipment. The work began on a Monday and finished Thursday.
We asked that the smaller chimney be checked while they were here, they repaired some small cracks and put in the smaller liner. The work was excellent. Professional, hard working crew. We would highly recommend this company.
Mike and his assistant were very professional. He explained what they were doing, and took the time to also explain what they found relative to the chimney at the roofline and repairs that will be needed in spring. He also explained what they did for the inspection of the chimney prior to, during, and following the cleaning. He found debris and soot that had not been found on the internal chimney sill by the last company we had come several years ago, including some items we believe were there since the house was built. He explained everything that we were looking at during the scoping of the chimney with a camera, and gave an estimate as to what the repairs would cost.
They were careful to not make a mess, and did a great job cleaning up after themselves. For only $ 140 more than what I paid to get the chimney cleaned six years ago, we also had the chimney scoped and a cap installed on the water heater vent. I would definitely recommend Quality Fireplace and Chimney Service...great job!

The original detail of the job was to cast a new concrete cap and tuck point the existing chimney. As Peter's crew started work, they quickly realized that the bricks were badly damaged due to the crack in the cap and that the chimney would need to be re-built. I had left for vacation by the time Peter had called me with this news. Peter assured me over the phone, \"I will find matching brick with the exterior of your house and make it look really nice. Enjoy your vacation! I will talk with you when you return.\" When I returned to my house and saw the chimney I was absolutely speechless. It looks fantastic! The bricks Peter found are an exact match and the chimney looks like the original that came with the house. I honestly could not be happier. Peter and his crew were extremely professional. They left the area spotless and even found a nice dry spot behind my house to store the extra bricks. Since we were able to find a time that Peter and his crew could come out to my place while they were still in the area, they gave me a wonderful discount. I recommend this company through and through. The entire team I worked with was very generous and gracious (even calling to thank me for my business before work even started - an awesome and professional gesture!). Thank you!"},"url":"https://www.angi.com/companylist/us/il/arlington-heights/joseph-james-construction-inc-reviews-456345.htm"},"position":10}]}

Monahan Masonry did an outstanding job tuck pointing my chimney and window sills. During the initial inspection they found a small roof leak and repaired it free of charge. They had the best pricing and service. I would definitely use them again!

FAQs for chimney inspection projects in Wales, WI
The average cost for a professional chimney cleaning is around $250, but prices range from $130 to $400 or more, depending on a few factors. Some things that have an impact on your total include the size of your chimney, the number of chimneys cleaned, and how accessible the chimneys are.
The cost to install a fireplace is $2,440 on average. This cost can range from $150 to $8,000 or more, depending on the type of fireplace, the materials used, and the size.

Installing a wood fireplace from scratch could cost upwards of $10,000, depending on the foundation needed to support the weight of the fireplace. In addition, gas fireplaces can cost between $2,500 and $10,000.
The National Fire Prevention Agency (NFPA) recommends chimney sweeping once per year as a means of avoiding house fires and massive property damage. Over time, creosote and soot build up in your chimney from burning wood and a lack of ventilation.

Chimney sweeping removes any residue and helps reduce the risk of property damage and personal injury from fire.
