Why Premier Chimney Cleaning Greater Spokane Is Opportunity’s Preferred Chimney Repair Company

We’ve spent 11 years working almost exclusively in the Spokane Valley basin, and Opportunity’s mix of 1950s–1970s housing stock and newer acreage development gives us a clear picture of what fails here and why. Nearly 900 homeowners have reviewed our work at a 4.7-star rating, including dozens of Opportunity customers from Ponderosa Estates to the older neighborhoods near Dishman Mica Road. Anthony leads every job — no rotating subcontractors, no bait-and-switch where a salesperson shows up and a different crew does the work.

Our response time to Opportunity averages under an hour because we’re already working in Spokane Valley, Veradale, and Dishman most days. That matters when you’ve got water pouring through a compromised crown or a chimney fire risk from third-degree creosote buildup. We handle it start to finish — assessment, repair, and final inspection — so you’re not coordinating multiple vendors across a busy week.

We also understand the regulatory landscape here. Opportunity falls under the Spokane Regional Clean Air Agency, and that affects what we recommend and how we document compliance. Not every chimney company serving the broader Spokane area can say that.

Our Chimney Repair Services in Opportunity

Mortar Repointing

The mid-century ranch and split-level homes that dominate Opportunity’s residential core are now 50 to 70 years old. Their original mortar joints have endured decades of the Spokane Valley’s brutal freeze-thaw cycling — hard freezes overnight, daytime thaws, water seeping in and expanding. We grind out deteriorated mortar to proper depth and repoint with HeatShield-compatible formulations matched to your chimney’s original masonry. On a typical Opportunity ranch near East Montgomery Avenue, this runs $800–$1,800 depending on accessible surface area.

Spalling Brick Repair

Spalling — where the brick face flakes and crumbles — is everywhere we look in Opportunity’s older neighborhoods. The 1970s energy-crisis era brought wood stove inserts to many of these homes, often without proper ventilation upgrades, and the accelerated heating-cooling cycles worsened brick degradation. We remove damaged units, source matching brick where possible, and rebuild with proper crown overhangs to shed water. We recently repaired a spalling brick chimney on a detached workshop in the Ponderosa Estates neighborhood. The original 1970s masonry had freeze-thaw damage and lacked a stainless liner, so we installed a DuraFlex liner and repointed with HeatShield mortar — all in one trip, saving the homeowner a second service call.

Chimney Waterproofing

Opportunity’s 40+ inches of annual snow and sustained hard freezes mean water is your chimney’s enemy eight months a year. We apply vapor-permeable sealants — never the trap-moisture-in products sold at hardware stores — specifically formulated for the Inland Northwest’s continental climate. Critical for the exposed chimneys on workshop and outbuilding structures that catch full weather with less wind protection than house-attached stacks. Waterproofing a typical Opportunity chimney runs $450–$950.

Flashing Repair

The transition between chimney and roof is where most leaks start, and Opportunity’s snow load makes this especially critical. Ice damming along eaves forces water uphill, and any flashing gap becomes an entry point. We fabricate custom flashing or install pre-formed Copperfield and Gelco components with proper step and counter-flashing integration. On the low-slope roofs common to Opportunity’s ranch homes, we pay particular attention to cricket construction behind the chimney to divert water properly.

Chimney Rebuilding

When mortar joints fail rapidly across multiple elevations and water intrusion has compromised structural integrity, partial or full rebuilding becomes necessary. This is more common in Opportunity than in newer Spokane Valley subdivisions because of the age concentration here. We rebuild with matching brick, proper footings, and modern crown specifications that shed water rather than pooling it. A full rebuild on a standard ranch chimney runs $3,200–$4,500; partial rebuilds from $1,800.

Trusted Brands We Service in Opportunity

We install and service materials from DuraFlex, HeatShield, Gelco, Olympia Chimney, Famco, and Copperfield — the right material for your chimney, not whatever’s cheapest this month. For Opportunity customers, that means we stock common liner diameters, crown forms, and flashing configurations locally, so most repairs don’t wait on shipping. When you’re staring at a January cold snap and a chimney you can’t safely use, that turnaround matters. Anthony specifies every material himself based on what he’s seen hold up in 11 years of chimney-only work across the Spokane Valley basin.

Common Chimney Repair Problems We See in Opportunity Homes

• Rapid mortar joint failure from freeze-thaw cycling. Opportunity’s 50+ year old ranch homes face accelerated deterioration as water penetrates cracked mortar, freezes overnight, and expands with destructive force. By spring, what looked like minor cracking becomes full joint separation.
• Third-degree glazed creosote from ponderosa pine burning. Residents across Opportunity commonly burn locally sourced ponderosa pine — abundant and cheap from nearby Inland Northwest forests — but pine produces significantly more creosote than hardwoods. Chimneys here often reach hazardous glazed buildup well before homeowners expect it.
• Improperly fitted 1970s wood stove inserts without stainless liners. Many Opportunity split-levels received inserts during the energy crisis with no liner retrofit. These violate current SRCAA compliance standards and create serious safety hazards from overheated adjacent framing.
• Crown and cap damage from snow load and ice. The Spokane Valley’s heavy, wet spring snows and temperature swings crack concrete crowns and dislodge caps. Exposed chimneys on workshop structures fare worst — no roof overhang for protection, full wind and weather exposure.
