Describe a recent project you are fond of. How long did it take?
One recent project we’re particularly proud of was a full chimney restoration for a historic home in Dallas, Texas. The chimney had significant structural damage, including cracked masonry and a deteriorating flue, which posed both safety and efficiency concerns. Over the course of three days, our team completed a thorough inspection, repaired the masonry, installed a new stainless-steel liner, and added a custom chimney cap for extra protection. The homeowner was thrilled with the results, noting improved airflow and restored aesthetics. This project highlighted our commitment to preserving the character of older homes while ensuring modern safety standards.
