Chimney Rebuilds
A damaged or deteriorating chimney is dangerous to your house and everything around it. Sometimes a complete rebuild is necessary and you can count on BJ’s Chimney Service for a timely and efficient chimney rebuild. BJ’s Chimney Service offers partial and total chimney rebuilds:
Partial chimney rebuilds are conducted for small chimneys with no scaffolding or the top sections of a large chimney with the addition of a new crown. The chimney is torn down to the area of the flashing by the roofline, and then the top of the chimney is rebuilt a new crown is added.
Total chimney rebuilds are conducted when the chimney is leaning, severe mortar deterioration has occurred, severe brick spalling has set in from the ground up, etc. The outer brick layer of the chimney is torn down and a new crown is added. In most cases the firebox, hearth, and smoke chamber are not removed.
Gas Logs
Enjoy a fireplace without the expensive of installing an all-brick chimney. There are two types of prefab fireplaces: built-in and freestanding and both look very similar to traditional fireplaces. Both freestanding and built-in units vent through insulated metal chimney components that run through walls, ceilings and roofs. BJ’s Chimney Service offers both vented or vent-free logs. This decision comes down to many factors, including looks versus efficiency, local building codes and fireplace placement.
Built in units are built into your home and are a more permanent, more integrated addition
Freestanding units have lightweight construction and easy-to-assemble components, and they come in a variety of sizes, shapes and finishes.
Vented Logs have a realistic-looking flame that operates with an open chimney flue or damper. These logs, which simulate a wood-burning fire, are more decorative than they’re an efficient heat source because much of the generated heat goes up the chimney.
Vent-free logs operate with the chimney flue closed, won’t give you that roaring fire effect. The flame isn’t as realistic or as high as you’ll find with vented logs. But they are an efficient heat source – 100% of the heat generated stays in your home.
