Chimney Repair for Stillwater chimneys

Chimneys in Stillwater serve fireplaces and wood stoves through long winters, from small cottage fireplaces to tall farmhouse chimneys and factory-built units in newer homes. Lake moisture, open-field wind and the long freeze-thaw season all work on the masonry and flashing.

Asset Roofing & Chimney inspects, cleans, repairs, relines and rebuilds chimneys throughout Stillwater. We rebuild crowns, install caps and chase covers, repoint and waterproof masonry, install stainless-steel liners and rebuild roof flashing. We are licensed and insured, and estimates are free.

Stillwater housing

Stillwater's housing includes cottages and small homes near Swartswood Lake and other lakes, many originally seasonal, along with older farmhouses in the valley and single-family homes from recent decades on wooded or open rural lots. Asphalt shingle is the norm, with some metal on outbuildings and cabins. Fireplaces and wood stoves are common.

Weather & exposure

Wind crosses Swartswood Lake and the open valley farmland with little to slow it, while homes in the wooded hills deal with shade and debris. Snow is heavy and winters are long, and the lakes add moisture and fog. Summer thunderstorms bring gusts and falling limbs.

Repair, repoint or rebuild in Stillwater

If you burn wood, have the chimney inspected and cleaned every year. If you added a stove insert to a cottage fireplace, confirm the liner is sized for it. A cap fastened for wind exposure is a small investment that prevents larger problems.

For masonry, early repointing, a proper crown and a breathable water repellent prevent most rebuilds. We rebuild flashing in metal, integrated with the roofing, so it holds under snow.

Stillwater Specifics

Chimney problems we see in Stillwater

Cottage fireplaces now used all winter

Fireplaces in seasonal cottages were not built for daily use. Adding a stove insert often requires a correctly sized liner for safe draft and less creosote.

Cracked crowns from freeze-thaw

Long winters crack thin mortar crowns. Water enters the top of the chimney and damages the brick and flue below.

Caps lost to wind off the lake

Chimneys on lakefront and open-lot homes lose caps to wind. Without a cap, rain and animals enter the flue.

Snow against chimney flashing

Drifting snow sits against the chimney for weeks. Flashing that relies on caulk fails under the constant meltwater.

FAQ

Chimney Repair in Stillwater: your questions

Can a wood stove insert go into my cottage fireplace?

Often yes, once the flue is inspected. We install a stainless-steel liner sized to the insert where needed.

My chimney cap keeps blowing off. What can be done?

We install caps sized to the flue and fastened securely for wind exposure, and check the crown underneath for cracking.

Why does my chimney leak after snowstorms?

Snow piled against the chimney melts slowly and tests the flashing for weeks. Worn flashing or a cracked crown that stays dry in rain can leak then. We inspect both and repair what is failing.

Do you repair farmhouse chimneys?

Yes. We repoint, rebuild crowns, reline flues and rebuild tall chimneys from a sound course where needed.
