Since 1978, The Chimney Specialists, Inc. has been providing full service chimney repair in the Tacoma-Seattle metro area and the Eastside from Bellevue down to Puyallup. We take pride in every service we provide, which is why we have a 1-year workmanship guarantee on all services.

more than just cleaning

Chimney & fireplace repair

From chimney cap installs to chimney crown repair, our skilled technicians can service and repair masonry and factory-built fireplaces, gas fireplaces and pellet/wood stoves. If there has been earthquake damage or a chimney fire at your home, we specialize in repairing chimneys up to code.

  • Jud, our lead estimator, has been serving our customers for over 20 years. Contact us to discuss your fireplace or chimney needs and schedule your free estimate.
  • Most chimney issues are caused by moisture and weatherization.  When a chimney or crown becomes water logged, freezing temperatures expand the water and cause freeze-thaw, which damages the mortar and concrete.
  • Preventative maintenance is the key here. Fixing existing damage and water sealing the chimney with a quality product will ensure water doesn’t penetrate the exterior and gives your chimney years of life.
Expert installation

Replacing your chimney parts

All parts of your chimney get worn over time so replacement is common in both masonry and factory-built fireplaces. We offer a wide variety of quality chimney products installed by experienced technicians so you can safely enjoy your fireplace again.

All services have a 1-year workmanship guarantee. Plus, our stainless steel caps carry a lifetime manufacturer’s warranty and any chimney weatherized with ChimneySaver comes a 10-year manufacturer’s warranty.

Chimney liners

Chimney (flue) liners are typically clay, metal or stainless steel liners installed to protect from heat and corrosion while sending combustible particles to the outside. New liners are needed if your chimney is unlined or existing liner is cracked or damaged.

Chimney Caps

Chimney caps are important as they protect from outside elements such as rain, snow, animals or downdraft issues. Without this protection, an open chimney allows water and/or critters to invade, which invites big problems.

Chase Covers

A chase cover fits over the top outside edge of your chase or brick chimney (somewhat like a shoe box top) and keeps out rain, snow, critters and everything else.

Refractory panels

Refractory panels direct a fire’s heat towards the fireplace’s mouth to keep the firebox temperature at a safe level. Over time, the constantly changing temperature compromises the integrity of the panel causing cracks and when that happens, it needs replacing.

Top-mount dampers

Your top-mount damper helps to regulate the flow of air inside your chimney system. If your damper is not opening or closing properly, you may be experiencing major drafting issues.
