Renovations, Ranches& Brand-New BuildsChimney and masonry work for every era of Upper Arlington, plus Grandview, Marble Cliff and Hilliard
Upper Arlington never stops remodeling. The 1920s brick homes of the original Country Club District get kitchen wings and second stories. Thousands of 1950s and 1960s ranches still carry broad brick chimneys with two fireplaces. And where older houses were torn down, new homes went up with stone veneer chimneys and factory-built fireboxes. Each needs a different kind of mason. Ours works out of Scioto Parkway, and the phone is answered day and night.

Remodels & additions
New masonry that looks like it was always there
Brick sourcing
We hunt down salvaged or close-match brick by size, color and texture, and lay out a sample panel before any wall goes up.
Mortar color & joint
Sand, tint and tooling are matched so the new joints read the same as the old ones.
Tie-ins and toothing
New brick is woven into the old wall instead of butting against it, so there's no straight seam.
Builder-friendly
We work with your general contractor or architect and keep to their schedule.

1950s & 1960s Upper Arlington
One chimney, two fireplaces
Many postwar UA ranches have a big brick chimney serving a living room fireplace and a basement rec-room fireplace. The basement one is often forgotten, and that's where problems hide.
BOTH
Inspect both flues
We camera-check each flue separately, since one can be fine while the other is cracked.
BASEMENT
Check the lower firebox
Rusted dampers, loose firebrick and water stains in the basement fireplace get looked at closely.
CLEANOUT
Ash dump & cleanout
Old cast-iron cleanout doors that no longer close are replaced to keep drafts and pests out.
DECIDE
Use, upgrade or seal
Keep it burning, add an insert, or seal the flue you'll never use again.
Teardown rebuilds & newer homes
Newer chimneys have their own problems
Many new UA homes have a factory-built fireplace inside a framed chase, wrapped in stone or brick veneer. It looks like masonry, but it fails differently.
Water behind the veneer
Without proper flashing and weep openings, rain gets behind the stone and soaks the framing.
Cracked or loose stones
Adhered stone pops off when its backing fails. We find out why before resetting it.
Rusty chase tops
Flat sheet-metal tops rust and pool water. We replace them with sloped stainless tops.
Prefab firebox parts
Cracked refractory panels and worn components replaced to the manufacturer's specs.

What happens when I call your 24/7 dispatch line?
A dispatcher picks up, gets the details and schedules or sends a crew. Leaks during a storm, a damaged chimney top or smoky rooms are handled the same night when possible. Any actual fire, gas odor or carbon monoxide alarm is a 911 call first, then ours.
Can you match the brick on my house for an addition?
Usually very closely. We look for salvaged brick or the nearest current product, match mortar color and joint style, and build a sample panel for you to approve.
We never use our basement fireplace. Does it matter?
It can. Unused flues still let water and cold air in, and rusted dampers or cleanout doors cause drafts. We can inspect it and either restore or seal it.
Why is stone falling off my newer chimney?
Adhered stone veneer usually fails because water got behind it. We check flashing, weep details and the chase top before reattaching or replacing stone.
Is a factory-built fireplace serviced differently?
Yes. Prefab fireplaces have specific parts and clearances. We inspect them, replace worn panels and caps with compatible parts, and service the chase above.
Do you work with general contractors on remodels?
Yes. We regularly handle the masonry portion of additions and renovations and coordinate with builders and architects.
Where do you work?
All of Upper Arlington, including Old Arlington, the Mallway, Kingsdale, Tremont, Barrington and Northam Park, plus Marble Cliff, Grandview Heights, Hilliard, Dublin, Clintonville and the University District.
Old brick, new wing, one crew.
Whether it's a leak at midnight or a remodel next spring, our dispatcher takes the call at any hour, every day of the year.
