Keep the Cool In, Keep the Look RightChimney efficiency upgrades, HOA-friendly masonry and historic stone repair for Huntersville, Cornelius, Davidson and north Charlotte
Most Huntersville homes have a fireplace that gets used a handful of nights a year. The rest of the time, a leaky old damper lets air-conditioning pour straight up the flue. The neighborhoods have HOAs that care exactly which stone and brick you use, and the old farm roads still have fieldstone chimneys from the 1800s. We handle all three from our shop on Reese Blvd, and the phone is answered any hour.

Your fireplace, the energy leak
Where your cooled air is really going
Warped metal dampers
Factory throat dampers rust and warp, leaving gaps that let air flow even when "closed".
A drafty living room
Feel a breeze by the hearth, or smell soot on muggy days? Air is moving through the flue.
Top-sealing damper fix
A spring-loaded lid at the top of the flue seals with a gasket and doubles as a cap.
Doors or an insert
Tight glass doors cut drafts, and a sealed insert turns a decorative fireplace into real heat.

Before the subdivisions
Old farmhouse chimneys still stand here
Long before Birkdale Village, this was farm country. Homes near Latta Place, Rural Hill and the old roads toward Long Creek still have chimneys of fieldstone and handmade brick.
Irregular stone, wide joints
Uncut fieldstone depends heavily on its mortar, which wears away over generations.
Clay and lime mortars
The original mortar was soft. Portland cement patches trap moisture and crack the stone.
No flue liner at all
Most were built before liners existed. A properly sized liner makes them usable again.
Worth saving
With the right materials, these chimneys can last another century.

Soft lime repointingAnother century
What happens if I call at 3 AM?
A real person picks up, even on holidays. Smoke coming into the room, water dripping into the firebox or an animal stuck in the flue all get a prompt reply. If you see fire outside the firebox or your CO detector goes off, get out and dial 911 before calling us.
How do I know if my damper is leaking air?
On a hot day, hold your hand or a strip of tissue near the closed damper. If you feel air moving or the tissue flutters, conditioned air is escaping. A rusty, warped damper plate is another giveaway.
What is a top-sealing damper?
It's a damper installed at the top of the chimney with a rubber gasket that seals tightly when closed. A cable runs down to the firebox so you can open it before a fire. It also works as a cap.
Will my HOA approve chimney repairs?
Most like-for-like repairs are simple to approve. We supply a materials list, samples and photos so your architectural committee has what it needs.
Can you match the stone on my chimney?
Usually very closely. We source matching veneer or natural stone and tint mortar to blend with what's already there.
Can an old fieldstone chimney be used again?
Often, yes, after repointing with suitable mortar and adding a properly sized liner. We inspect it first to make sure the structure is sound.
Which areas do you serve?
Huntersville, Cornelius, Davidson, Mountain Island, Long Creek, Highland Creek, University City and nearby north Charlotte and Concord neighborhoods.
