Righteous Chimney & Masonry keeps Stow, OH fireplaces safe with chimney sweeping, inspections, liners, and caps — practical, family-focused chimney care for this growing Summit County suburb, plus masonry repair when you need it.
Stow is a growing, family-oriented Summit County suburb where much of the housing was built from the 1970s onward. The newer building stock means we spend most of our time here on maintenance and safety: annual sweeps, inspections, cap installs, and liner upgrades that keep modern fireplaces working safely through the winter.
Chimney caps are a frequent Stow install — a lot of homes here went up with builder-grade caps that have rusted out or blown off, letting rain and animals into the flue. A quality stainless cap fixes that for the long haul. We also handle the smoky-fireplace and failed-draft calls that usually trace back to a blockage, a liner problem, or a flue that needs sweeping.
Even on newer Stow homes, the freeze-thaw climate works on chimney crowns, brick veneer, and front steps. We provide masonry repair and waterproofing throughout the area, from the neighborhoods near Silver Springs Park to the developments along Kent Road and Darrow Road. Every job comes with a clear written quote.

A Stow family near Fishcreek Road had a fireplace that smelled of rain and occasionally let water drip into the firebox. The chimney's cap had rusted away. We swept and inspected the flue, then installed a stainless cap with a wide drip edge — no more water, no more smell.

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.
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.
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.
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.
That odor is creosote absorbing moisture, usually because rain is getting into the flue. It often means you need a sweep to remove the creosote and a proper cap to keep water out. We handle both in one visit.
A cheap builder-grade cap may rust out in a few years. A quality stainless-steel cap, properly installed, can last decades — which is why we install stainless rather than the bargain caps many Stow homes came with.
We're happy to help you stay on a yearly schedule for sweeping and inspection. Catching issues annually is far cheaper than waiting for a leak or a draft problem to force the repair.
