Complete Chimney Care in Cleveland, OH
Your chimney does a lot of quiet, important work — venting smoke and combustion gases safely out of your home. When it's neglected, the risks are real: chimney fires from creosote buildup, carbon monoxide from a blocked or cracked flue, and water damage from a failing crown or flashing. Righteous Chimney & Masonry keeps Greater Cleveland's chimneys safe, clean, and working the way they should.
We're a full-service chimney company, which means you don't have to juggle multiple contractors. From the annual sweep and inspection to relining a cracked flue, installing a new cap, rebuilding a deteriorated crown, or chasing down a stubborn leak — it's all under one roof. And because Northeast Ohio's freeze-thaw weather is so hard on masonry, we build every repair to stand up to the water-freeze-thaw cycle that destroys chimneys around here.
What sets us apart is honesty. Chimney work has a reputation for fear-selling — vague warnings and inflated repair quotes. We inspect with a camera when it helps, show you exactly what we find, and recommend only the work that genuinely needs doing. Our aim is in our name: we do it right, and we tell you the truth.

Chimney Sweeping & Cleaning
A thorough chimney sweep clears the soot and creosote that build up every burning season, the leading cause of chimney fires. We sweep the flue, firebox, and smoke chamber, then leave your home cleaner than we found it.

Chimney Inspections
A documented chimney inspection finds the cracks, blockages, and liner damage you can't see from the ground. We provide Level 1 and Level 2 inspections for annual safety, home sales, and after a chimney fire or storm.

Chimney Liners & Relining
A cracked or missing flue liner lets heat and combustion gases reach your home's framing. We install code-compliant stainless-steel liners sized to your appliance, restoring safe draft and protecting the masonry around it.

Chimney Caps
A proper chimney cap keeps rain, snow, leaves, animals, and stray embers out of your flue while still letting smoke escape. We install and replace stainless and custom caps built to last in Cleveland's freeze-thaw weather.

Chimney Repair & Rebuilds
From a cracked crown to spalling brick to a full rebuild above the roofline, we restore the structure of your chimney. Cleveland's freeze-thaw cycles are hard on masonry — we fix the cause, not just the symptom.

Chimney Leak Repair & Waterproofing
A leaking chimney stains ceilings and rots framing long before you see water. We trace the leak to its source — flashing, crown, or porous brick — seal it, and apply a breathable waterproofing that keeps water out for years.

Animal & Critter Removal
Hearing scratching or chirping in the chimney? We safely remove birds, raccoons, squirrels, and nests, then install a cap to keep them from coming back. Humane, thorough, and sealed up the same day where possible.

What Greater Cleveland Homeowners Say

Honest Inspection, No Scare Tactics
Another company tried to sell me a full chimney rebuild. Righteous came out, ran a camera inspection, showed me the actual flue, and said all I needed was a sweep and a new cap. Saved me thousands. This is who I'll call from now on.
Karen M. Lakewood, OH -
Finally Stopped a Years-Long Leak
Two roofers couldn't figure out where the water was coming from. Righteous found it was the chimney crown and flashing, rebuilt the crown, reflashed, and waterproofed it. Dry through the whole winter for the first time in years.
Tom B. Euclid, OH -
Beautiful Tuck Pointing on Our 1920s Home
Our brick was crumbling at the joints. They repointed the whole chimney and a section of wall with mortar that actually matches the original. You can't tell where the new work starts. Craftsmanship you don't see much anymore.
Diane R. Cleveland Heights, OH -
Quick, Clean, and Straightforward
Swept the chimney, inspected it, and walked me through everything with photos. Showed up on time, laid down drop cloths, left zero mess. Fair price, no upselling. Exactly how it should be done.

Start with an inspection. Many problems — smoky drafts, leaks, odors — have several possible causes, and a proper inspection (with a camera when needed) tells us exactly what's going on. We'll then recommend only the service that actually solves it. If you're not sure, just call and describe what you're seeing.

Yes. Righteous Chimney & Masonry is fully licensed and insured, and we're happy to provide proof before any job. [PLACEHOLDER — confirm licensing/insurance and CSIA certification.]

Have your chimney inspected every year and swept whenever creosote has built up — typically annually for a regularly-used wood fireplace. Repairs, relining, and caps are done as needed, ideally caught early during that annual inspection.
