Prevents Dangerous Home Fire Hazards
Professional firebox repair seals cracked firebricks and deteriorated mortar, keeping extreme heat and sparks from spreading to your house framing.
Saves Money on Major Chimney Rebuilds
Replacing broken firebricks and applying heat-resistant refractories early prevents total firebox collapse and expensive teardowns.
Blocks Deadly Carbon Monoxide Leaks
Fixing cracks in your firebox lining prevents toxic flue gases and smoke from leaking into your living room instead of venting out the chimney.
Improves Fireplace Heating Efficiency
A tightly sealed, structurally sound firebox reflects heat back into your living space, giving you a warmer, more energy-efficient fire.
Stops Severe Structural Masonry Decay
Repairing heat-damaged mortar stops structural degradation from spreading behind the firebox into the main chimney stack.
Passes Home Inspections & Protects Value
Restoring a damaged firebox ensures your fireplace meets local safety codes and protects your home’s resale value.

Repairs We Handle​
• Chimney caps — replacement and installation. The cap keeps rain, animals, and debris out of your flue. A missing or rusted cap is the most common leak source we find.
• Chimney chase repair and replacement — rotted wood chase, damaged siding, failing chase covers. We rebuild chases properly so they shed water instead of soaking it up.
• Chase covers — rusted or undersized chase covers replaced with properly fitted ones.
• Crown repair — cracked concrete crowns let water straight into the chimney structure. We repair and seal them.
• Flashing repair — the metal where your chimney meets the roof. Failed flashing is behind most ceiling stains around fireplaces.
• Masonry repair — tuckpointing, spalling brick, and mortar joints damaged by heat and weather.
• Damper repair and replacement — dampers that won't open, won't close, or won't seal.
• Smoke and draft problems — diagnosis for fireplaces that smoke into the room or won't draw.
Not sure what's wrong? A $99 Chimney Inspection gives you the full picture with photos — then you decide.
How It Works
1. Diagnose first. We inspect, photograph, and explain the problem in plain language — what's wrong, why it happened, and what it takes to fix it.
2. Straight quote. You get a clear price before any work begins. No surprises mid-job.
3. Repair it right. We do the work cleanly, protect your home while we work, and walk you through what was done when we're finished.

Why San Antonio Fireplaces Break Down?
Our chimneys take a beating: intense summer heat expands and cracks masonry crowns, spring storms drive rain sideways under flashing, and hard freezes split mortar. Most of the repairs we do trace back to water getting in where it shouldn't — through a failed cap, crown, or flashing. Catching it early is the difference between a simple repair and a full rebuild.
​
Gas Fireplaces
We service and repair gas fireplaces — burners, logs, ignition, and glass. One thing to know: under Texas law, any work on the gas line itself must be done by a Texas-licensed plumber, so we partner with one when a job calls for it. The fireplace and chimney side is all us.
​

Frequently Asked Questions
​
How much does fireplace repair cost in San Antonio?
It depends on the repair — a chimney cap replacement and a full chase rebuild are very different jobs. That's why we diagnose first: a $99 inspection gives you photos, an explanation, and an exact quote before you commit to anything.
​
My fireplace smokes into the room. What's wrong?
Usually a draft problem — blocked flue, closed or broken damper, or a flue sized wrong for the firebox. Sometimes it's as simple as a cap issue. We diagnose the actual cause rather than guessing.
​
Water is leaking around my fireplace when it rains. Can you fix it?
Yes — this is one of our most common calls. Leaks almost always come from the cap, crown, flashing, or chase cover. We'll find the entry point and fix it.
​
Do you repair chimney chases?
Yes — chase repair and replacement is a specialty. Rotted wood chases and rusted chase covers are extremely common in San Antonio, and we rebuild them to shed water properly.
​
How long do repairs take?
Most repairs are done in a day. Full chase rebuilds can take longer — we'll give you a timeline with the quote.
​
Do you guarantee your work?
We stand behind every repair. If something we fixed isn't right, we come back and make it right.
