West Hartford Modified Chimney Rebuild
We were called out for an estimate to rebuild a chimney in West Hartford, CT. Chunks of brick were falling off the chimney and rolling down the roof. You can see one sliver still on the roof. The top portion of the chimney was in major disrepair in the area that needed to support a heavy blue stone cap. Our customer said they have had birds in the chimney once before so they wanted to change out the slate cover with a screened chimney cap. We explained the chimney cap also does a better job keeping out rain and snow, which has been a contributing factor to this chimneys deterioration. They wanted to keep the look and the style of the brick, and we were able to find almost the exact same style. Three days later, a new chimney was born! Check out our photos below!

Stratford Home Replaces Metal Chimney
One of our customers from Stratford, Conneticut, was needing their metal chimney replaced. The customer called because of an ongoing chimney leak problem from their old, rusty chimney pipe that services their oil burner flue. It is not uncommon that cheap galvanized metal pipes are installed during the original construction to save money. These systems don’t last long , they are rarely insulated properly, and more often than not, the type of chimney pipe used cannot be matched. Chimney pipe is not mix and match. We need to find the original manufacturers pipe if possible , or replace everything. We had to replace the severely damaged metal prefabricated chimney flue system, as well as perform some roofing repair and new chimney flashing. We used an insulated stainless steel Class A chimney system to safely vent the appliance, as well as remain water tight. These systems NEVER rust or corrode and are a lifetime solution for problems such as these. Our customer was very happy with the results and their chimney is working better than ever!
