Masonry Chimney Work Samples
We build new chimneys and Rumford and Bellfiresstyle fireplaces, and repair old chimneys.
Our specialty is masonry (brick
and stone). Here are some samples of our masonry chimney work...
Explosion damage
BEFORE and
AFTER
This chimney was damaged when the house
next
door had an explosion. The chimney
foundation and chase cracked
throughout.
When we removed the old deck, the
chimney collapsed (left).
We rebuilt the
chimney with a new concrete slab, and block
foundation with a
brick chase. We repaired
and replaced the old chimney cover,
and rebuilt the deck.
Note: we only do deck work when doing
chimney repairs!
Water damage - rebuild
Before and After. These painted bricks were severely water
damaged and spalling. We tore the chimney down and rebuilt it. Hint:
painted bricks deteriorate faster than unpainted bricks.
New Chimney Construction
This
new chimney was built by By our team of masonry experts - Gene Padgitt, Tony Gross,
Ricky Cline, and Buddy Wickizer.
Note the detail work at the top of the chimney with
soldier bricks and corbeled courses, and the inset bricks
on the center front of
the chimney (center photo).
We are Masonry Heater Builders
Masonry heaters are the most efficient way to heat your home.
This is a sample of a brick heater with a wood-fired bake oven
above it, but we also build stone, tile, and soapstone heaters.

1880 Victorian home
This chimney was torn down and rebuilt from a photo since the
top portion was completely gone. This project included
four other chimneys, all built in different intricate styles
that were typical of the Victorians.
We had to obtain "Little Reds" historical bricks for the
project in order to match the existing bricks.
This is
a brick bake oven that uses wood inside the oven
for heating up to 700 degrees. Gene built this oven with a
tile roof and decorative brickwork. Once you've tasted pizza from
a wood-fired oven you'll never order delivery again!
