Complete Chimney & Masonry
Services in Cincinnati & KY From Sweeps to Full Restoration · CSIA-Certified

If it's been more than a year since your last service, start with a chimney sweep — it includes a free visual inspection that tells you exactly what (if anything) else needs attention. If you're seeing water stains, smoke backing up, animals, or other specific symptoms, just call (513) 382-0530 and describe the issue. We'll tell you what to expect before we send a crew.

Yes, in most cases. Sweep + inspection always happen together. Tuckpointing, waterproofing, cap installs, and animal removal can often be done the same day or scheduled back-to-back depending on weather and access. We give you one written estimate covering everything you need.

Both. A1 Chimney & Masonry handles complete masonry repair and restoration in addition to all chimney services — from small brick repairs to historical restoration work. Many chimney problems are actually masonry problems, so having one crew handle both means no contractor coordination on your end.

A standard chimney sweep takes about 45 to 90 minutes. Tuckpointing and waterproofing typically run 4 to 8 hours depending on chimney size. Larger restoration jobs like full rebuilds and liner installations can take 1 to 3 days. You'll get a clear time estimate before we start any work.

We do our best. Animal removal, urgent leaks, and storm damage often get same-week service. For true emergencies — an active leak during a storm, an animal stuck in your flue right now — call (513) 382-0530 directly and we'll work to fit you in. We're open every day from 7 AM to 8 PM.

Both. We service residential and light commercial properties throughout Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky — including rental properties, restaurants with wood-fired ovens, historic buildings, and small commercial spaces with masonry features. Call us to discuss your specific project.

Call us anyway. The 12 services on this page cover most jobs, but chimney and masonry problems vary. If you describe what you're seeing, we can tell you whether it's something we handle or refer you to the right specialist if it's not. No pressure either way.

Cash, check, and all major credit cards. You get a written estimate before any work starts — no surprise charges, no upselling, and no charge for the visit if we can't help. CSIA-certified, licensed, and insured.
