Why Midwest Chimney

The Chimney Company Homeowners Call When The Fix Didn't Hold

A lot of our work starts with somebody who has already had a quote and doesn’t trust it. That’s not an accident. Chimney damage sits well above eye level where you can’t check anything yourself, which makes it an easy trade to oversell in.

So we photograph everything, we put the scope in writing, and we separate what’s genuinely urgent from what can wait a season. Sometimes that means telling you the job is smaller than the last company said. That’s the whole reason people keep calling us back.

Already Got A Quote From Another Company?

Bring it to us. We’ll review the scope honestly and tell you whether the work is actually necessary – and we’ll beat their written estimate by $150 on qualifying projects over $1,500.

A second opinion costs you nothing. It’s saved some of our customers several hundred dollars.

Questions We Hear The Most

Common Questions

Once a year at minimum, and that's the NFPA recommendation even if you barely light a fire. Unused chimneys still collect animal nests, moisture damage and structural deterioration. If you've had a chimney fire, bought a new home or changed fuel types, you need a Level 2 inspection before the next use.

Yes. The on-site assessment, the written scope and the photographs all come at no cost with no obligation to book anything. That includes second opinions on quotes from other companies, which is a large share of the calls we get.

We serve all cities across DuPage, Cook, Kane, Will and Lake counties with no travel fees anywhere inside that area. If your town isn't on our service areas page, call anyway — we take work across the wider metro regularly.

Same-week for most jobs, often faster in DuPage and western Cook where we're based. Autumn is the busiest stretch of our year, so if you want the chimney sorted before the first fire, book earlier rather than in October.

No. Safety comes before sales on every job. Every scope we write separates urgent safety work from what can reasonably wait a season, and our technicians are trained not to push the second category. When something does need fixing we fix it properly - we do not sell bandaids that put the same problem back on your list in two years. It's the thing customers mention most often in reviews, and it's why we get called for second opinions.

Constantly, and it's genuinely different work. Pre-war brick is soft and was laid with lime mortar, so repointing it with modern Portland cement cracks the brick faces off within a few winters. Plenty of these chimneys were also built with no liner at all.
