Bayside is a small, close-knit village located on the North Shore, straddling Milwaukee and Ozaukee Counties. Known for its rural atmosphere and abundant green space, the town attracts families to its secluded beach during the summer months. Many of the colonial homes in Bayside sit on large lots and feature masonry chimneys with fireplaces and stoves for winter warmth. However, lake-effect snow, gusty winds, and powerful summer storms can cause significant damage to these structures.
For over thirty years, Smoke Stacks has distinguished itself by providing top-quality masonry, chimney, and fireplace services to residents in Bayside and surrounding communities. Our commitment to excellence and customer satisfaction sets us apart in the industry.

North Milwaukee County Chimney Inspections & Sweeping
Our CSIA-certified chimney sweeps conduct inspections per National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) Standards and Codes to identify any issues, from creosote buildup and water leaks to rusted components and structural damage. Periodic sweeping removes dangerous, flammable, and corrosive residues and flue obstructions, reducing the risk of fire and carbon monoxide exposure.
Chimney Crown Repair/Rebuilding
The chimney crown is essential for deflecting rain, snow, and wind from the stack and siding. When it cracks, it leaves the entire structure vulnerable to water damage, which can attract mold, mildew, and pests. We reseal cracks and rebuild damaged crowns to prevent further moisture intrusion and water damage.
Flue Relining
When a cracked or damaged flue liner poses a serious fire and carbon monoxide risk, we often recommend installing a new, durable stainless-steel liner to restore the performance and efficiency of your chimney and venting system. A steel liner also reduces creosote and sooty buildup and lowers winter heating costs.
Fireplace Damper Replacement
The damper is essential for controlling airflow and preventing conditioned air from being sucked out of the chimney. If your damper is sticking, stuck, or rusted, we can repair or replace it to improve energy efficiency.
Top-Mount Damper Installation
To enhance energy efficiency and protect your home from the elements, we recommend installing a top-mount damper at the chimney top instead of repairing the old throat damper. Top-mount dampers are easier to operate and are significantly more effective in preventing rain, snow, and animal intrusions.
Brick & Stone Masonry Repair
The continuous exposure to rain, snow, and ice accelerates the deterioration of masonry structures, such as brick and mortar chimneys and stone walls. Our masonry contractors specialize in repairing crumbling mortar and replacing damaged bricks or stones to restore the integrity and attractive appearance of your masonry structures.
