Chimney expertise for Wheaton’s historic and family homes
Wheaton’s tree-lined historic districts near Wheaton College and the old DuPage County Courthouse are full of grand homes with original masonry chimneys and clay flues that reward experienced, careful work. Out toward Cantigny Park — the 500-acre former McCormick estate — and Cosley Zoo, the family neighborhoods mix traditional and gas fireplaces.
DuPage winters put crowns, caps, and flashing through relentless freeze-thaw, and Wheaton’s older homes are especially prone to water intrusion. Our annual camera inspection finds those problems before they become a rebuild.
