BROWN CHIMNEY

NOVI CHIMNEYS
BUILT FOR MICHIGAN WINTER

Cold mornings, wet snow, another freeze coming soon. That’s just Novi winter. Brown Chimney’s here to keep your home steady through the rough weather.

THE WEATHER HERE DOESN’T FORGIVE MISTAKES

Novi winters are tricky: one week it’s melting, the next it’s a deep freeze. That back-and-forth wears down every chimney around here. We are local, so our crews see it up close. We’re aware of the effects of freeze-thaw on these roofs and bricks. When we climb up for an inspection, it’s not guesswork. We look for issues that the weather has already triggered:

Cracks that turn to leaks

‍

Caps beginning to rust

Liners packed with soot from a long season of fires

Freeze-thaw damage to crowns, flashing, and joints

WHAT WE WATCH FOR

CREOSOTE RISKS

Creosote’s a considerable fire risk. When you burn wood and skip cleaning, that black gunk sticks inside the flue. We use professional-grade tools to clean it thoroughly, without leaving soot behind.

LEAKS AND DAMAGE

Flashing pulls loose, mortar wears down, or a crown cracks. These are all it takes for water to creep in.

We seal what’s open, repair what’s weak, and rebuild what’s past saving.

CRACKS AND CROWN ISSUES

When the crown splits or the mortar flakes, we get up there and set it right.

Even small cracks let in moisture, which makes the damage worse. Fix it early, and you avoid major structural repairs down the line.

FLUE BLOCKAGES

A clear, unobstructed flue keeps your system venting safely and efficiently all season.

If birds or leaves block the flue, we clean it out before the smoke or gas starts backing up into your home.

BUILT TO LAST

WORK THAT’S DONE RIGHT, NOT RUSHED

Our Novi crew handles it all: cleaning, tuckpointing, rebuilding, and full take-downs when a chimney can’t be saved. We also install gas or wood fireplaces, built to vent right and pass inspection. We work steadily. No mess in your house, no tools forgotten. When we’re done, you’ll see clear photos and a thorough report of our work.

BUILT BY LOCALS, FOR LOCALS

We’re not a call center or a rotating crew. The Brown Chimney teams fixing your roof are the same ones shoveling their own driveways through the same storms. Our repairs last because we’ve learned what fails here and what doesn’t.
