Whitefish Bay is a highly sought-after North Shore community known for its attractive, tree-lined streets, popular lakefront parks, and strong sense of community. The village offers residents a serene suburban lifestyle with easy access to all of Greater Milwaukee's amenities. This affluent community is home to beautiful historic homes, many of which feature classic masonry chimneys and decorative brickwork.
From cold, snowy winters to hot, humid summers and a fair amount of rain year-round, Whitefish Bay experiences the typical Wisconsin weather. This constant exposure to moisture and fluctuating temperatures can cause significant wear on chimneys and other masonry structures. For over thirty years, Smoke Stacks has built a strong reputation for being the area’s most trusted chimney and masonry contractor.

North Shore Chimney Inspections & Sweeping
Annual inspections are the key to identifying potential issues before they become significant and costlier problems. Our CSIA-certified sweeps perform visual inspections and cleaning services to identify and remove dangerous creosote buildup, live animals, and debris to ensure your chimney is structurally sound, vents efficiently, and is not a fire or health hazard.
Chimney Cap/Chase Cover Replacement
A sturdy chimney cap or chase cover is the stack’s first line of defense against rain, snow, and migrating birds. When these covers rust or become loose, our expert replacement and installation services will keep your masonry or manufactured chimney protected from the elements.
Chimney Crown Rebuilding
The chimney crown, which is the uppermost section of the stack, is vulnerable to cracking from driving rain, hail, and snow accumulation, especially when the chimney cap or chase cover is damaged. Cracks in the crown can lead to severe water damage in the chimney and masonry. We reseal minor cracks and rebuild damaged crowns to restore their ability to deflect rain, snow, and wind away from the chimney.
Flue Liner Repair
A damaged flue liner can pose a serious fire and carbon monoxide risk to your home and family. We often recommend installing a new UL-listed stainless steel flue liner to improve the efficiency of your chimney and attached heating appliance, and ensure it is up to code. Stainless steel liners also reduce creosote and sooty buildup, making chimney sweeping easier and more productive.
Expert Brick Refacing
When bricks are damaged, our masons can skillfully reface them. We carefully replace spalled or cracked bricks with new ones that match the existing structure, restoring its beautiful appearance and structural stability.
Tuckpointing
Tuckpointing is a restoration method that restores the mortar that bonds the bricks, strengthening the structure. We do this by using special tools to grind out decaying mortar and fill in the joints with a fresh, durable, water-resistant mortar compound that will help prevent further deterioration within the brickwork.
