    The Importance of Chimney Upkeep

    Whether your home is classic, modern, rustic, or eclectic, everyone enjoys a fireplace’s beauty and warmth.
    However, while everyone admires a fireplace, the chimney itself is a feature that often gets neglected. 

    Over time, exposure to the elements and wear & tear can cause damage to your chimney.
    When fluctuations in temperature occur, it can result in damage to chimney masonry, plywood, sheetrock, paint, and the     roof itself.
    The materials can crack, break, and even disintegrate, especially if they are not properly maintained.

    Common Types of Chimney Damage

    Chimney damage can result in water damage, unwanted pests inside the home, and safety issues with lighting your fireplace. Here are a few signs that you may have a problem:

    • Cracks or Gaps in the Chimney Masonry. If you notice cracks or gaps in the masonry on your chimney, it could be a sign that the chimney is in need of repair. These openings can allow water to seep into the chimney, which can cause further damage, not only to the chimney but to the inside of your home as well.
    • Damaged Chimney Crown. The chimney crown is the top part of the chimney that covers the chimney flue. If the crown is damaged or cracked, water can seep into the chimney and cause further damage.
    • Leaking Water or Moisture. If you notice water or moisture inside your home near the chimney, it could be a sign that the chimney is leaking. This could be caused by a damaged chimney cap, cracked masonry, or other issues. Another sign of leaking and water issues is white discoloration (efflorescence) on the chimney external masonry.
    • Loose Or Missing Bricks or Stones. Unfortunately, this is very common. If you notice loose or missing bricks or stones on your chimney, it could be a sign that the chimney is in need of repair. This could be caused by exposure to the elements. It is very important to get this looked at as soon as possible as it could be a safety hazard.

    Fortunately, regular chimney maintenance and repair can keep the structure in good health, which pays for itself in preventing damage.

    We approach each project with the highest level of professionalism and integrity, and our customers feel the same way.
    Read what some of our past customers have to say about working with us.
    Mark G.
    "Manny Ramirez and Lasting Construction are the best! They did two roofing jobs for me, one with 5 skylights and one with a copper Yankee gutter. Both times the workmanship was stellar, the work was as promised and the (very competitive) price was as quoted. His crew is reliable and keeps the job site clean. I can't say enough positive things about Manny and Lasting Construction. I almost wish I needed more work so I could hire them again."

    "Outstanding work! Manny and the team are absolute professionals: they completed the job in a timely manner; the workmanship was beyond expectations (you could see their own pride in their work), and above all, they are committed and caring to the customer. That’s extraordinary customer satisfaction. I recommend them highly and without qualification… the stuff of greatness.”

    "Not only have we been referring Manny to our customers for years, but Manny installed the roof on our showroom. It was a great experience. Manny’s workers are clean, punctual, and a pleasure to work with. I highly recommend them for any roofing work you are considering."
    Aleks D.
    "Highly recommend! My contractor recommended Manny and his crew and we were beyond pleased. Manny was the only one who explained to me why the roof we had prior to this was installed incorrectly and why we had so many issues. Reliable, responsive and his crew works incredibly hard. Zero complaints and our roof is beautiful."
    Larissa K.
    "I highly recommend Manny and Lasting Construction. Manny is highly knowledgeable about roofing and construction, he responded very quickly to give us a quote, and the work was completed much faster than we expected. We were very impressed with their quality work on our roof and gutters."
    Brian E.
    "I have used Lasting Construction for a few jobs now, most recently a roof replacement on our detached 2-car garage. Manny is up-front and respectful of concerns. The crew works quickly and neatly and does a quality job. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them and would definitely use them for future projects."
    Danny F.
    "Manny and his team are outstanding. Fair estimates, high-quality work. On-time and complete cleanup. I had my roof and gutters done as well as my shed roof. I highly recommend Lasting Construction."
    Kristen M.
