Portage stretches from the Lake Michigan shoreline at the Portage Lakefront down past the interstates, and its homes range from 1960s ranches to newer subdivisions. Being this close to the lake means lake-effect snow and damp winters — the conditions that crack crowns and rust metal chimney parts.
We see both masonry chimneys and factory-built fireplaces in Portage. Either way, we photograph the flue and the roof, explain what we found in plain language, and quote one flat price before any work starts.

My fireplace smells like smoke even when it's not in use — why?
Usually creosote in the flue combined with air being pulled down the chimney, especially in damp weather. A sweep removes the source, and we check the damper and cap, which often solve the draft side.

Yes. We find where water is actually getting in — crown, flashing, cap or the brick itself — photograph it and fix that. Leak assessments are free with the repair; most repairs run $250 to $600.
