We Specialize in Historic Chimney Restoration
Working in Shelby County since 1978, Coopertown Services has come across every kind of fireplace and chimney imaginable. That said, one of our biggest passions centers on the rich history of so many homes in our area.
Historic chimneys make for beautiful focal points in these grand old Memphis homes, and we’ve been honored to spend significant amounts of time over the past few decades saving those chimneys.
We not only get them back into service and functioning well, but also preserve their original cosmetic designs. We make a point of treating these historic chimneys with the respect they deserve as the hallmarks of the history of our city.
Here’s the thing, though…you can’t trust historic chimney repair to just anybody. It takes experience and expertise to properly renovate older chimneys and contemporary chimneys alike. Each has unique properties (vastly different internal designs, different types of mortar and brick, etc.) that a chimney technician needs to know and understand in order to provide proper service that will stand the test of time structurally, as well as maintain that beautiful and timeless aesthetic.
Our Chimney Safety Institute of America (CSIA)-certified technicians know the chimneys of Shelby County. Whether your home is historic or contemporary, we can bring your chimney back to life. Call today for details or reach out to us online now to start setting up your next appointment.
Chimney Renovation Needs Can Vary, but Coopertown Services Does It All
Your chimney may need some tuckpointing above the roof or in the firebox…or it may need a complete renovation, including a relining of the flue, a new firebox, and a new damper. Whatever you need, big or small, we can handle it all – including particularly delicate and complex concerns like old ceramic tile and slate roofs.
With our experience and care, you won’t have to worry about damage or internal collapses. We can also video scan the chimney’s interior to give an accurate and thorough recommendation of repairs needed – and why.
Some of the most popular renovation work Coopertown Services provides includes:
Chimney Relining
We can handle any flue relining job, whether you need a damaged liner restored with HeatShield® (a special ceramic/refractory sealant), resurfaced with FireGuard, or your current liner replaced with a new stainless steel option.
A properly lined chimney is crucial for safe operation, and having relined chimneys since 1979, our expertise ensures your chimney will function efficiently and safely for years to come. Let us inspect your system today, so we can recommend which option would be best for your needs.
Smoke Chamber Repair
The smoke chamber is the upside funnel-shaped area above your firebox, and it plays a vital role in guiding smoke from your fireplace into the flue. Only…most smoke chambers of the past were built with a corbeled or stair-step design that we now know is less than ideal, as it encourages creosote buildup and prevents efficient airflow.
During the 1980s, we diligently documented the need for parging in smoke chambers. Parging involves applying a high-temperature, stucco-like coating to smooth the interior surface, enhancing the chimney’s performance and safety and allowing smoke a clear pathway up and out of your home.
Thanks in part to our efforts, this almost-forgotten practice is now a code requirement, ensuring your chimney meets modern safety standards and works as well as it can.
Rebuilding Fireboxes
The firebox is the heart of your fireplace, containing the fires you light and showcasing your flames safely – so that heat comes out, but no sparks, embers, or flames with it. A damaged firebox is a dangerous thing to have, since its job is to contain your fires, as well as send smoke and fumes up toward your chimney.
If your firebox is crumbling or in need of repair, we can rebuild or reconstruct it, so that’ll last through years of safe and efficient use – giving you peace of mind every time you light a fire.
Chase Cover Installation
A chase cover is the metal component that covers the top of prefabricated units – basically serving as a metal-type crown. These covers are essential for protecting the top of your chimney from the elements, and they can also add an attractive finish to factory-built chimneys – and even some masonry ones!
We can both build new exterior chases and replace damaged chase covers, ensuring both functionality and aesthetic appeal. Keep your chimney and home protected with our durable and stylish chase cover installations.
Chimney Cap Installation
One of the simplest – yet most effective – ways to protect your chimney is through chimney cap installation services. A well-fitted chimney cap keeps out rain, snow, animals, and debris, preventing damage and blockages that could lead to serious problems down the line.
That said, finding the most appropriate cap for your setup – and ensuring it’s correctly installed and securely fitted – is vital for getting you the results you’re looking for. We’re here to help. Call or book online today.
Chimney Rebuilds
Sometimes, a chimney needs more than just a touch-up or quick repair – it needs a complete rebuild. This is obviously no job to DIY or leave to someone less than qualified… The good news for Memphis homeowners is that our skilled masons are experts in tearing down and rebuilding chimneys from the ground up.
We use only the best materials and combine those with our unparalleled craftsmanship, ensuring your new chimney is not only structurally sound, but also complements the aesthetic of your home. Leave it to us – we’ve got you covered.
Fireplace Refacing
Is your fireplace looking outdated? Your system doesn’t have to be showing signs of obvious damage for us to improve its look and cosmetic appeal. Our fireplace refacing services can give it a fresh new appearance with your choice of material – we offer tile, metal, brick, stone, and more!
Whether you prefer a modern update or a traditional style, we offer a range of materials and finishes to transform your fireplace into a stunning focal point in your living room. Let’s work together to get things looking just as you’re envisioning them.
