Our Chimney Construction Services

At Albatros Construction, we handle complete chimney construction from foundation to cap. We build chimneys engineered for your specific venting needs with materials and methods that ensure safety and performance.

Masonry Chimney Construction: We build brick and block chimneys with reinforced foundations, proper flue liner systems, and weather-resistant exteriors. Chimneys are designed for appliance requirements and aesthetic integration with your home.

Flue Liner Installation: Install clay tile, stainless steel, or cast-in-place flue liners sized for your heating appliance. Proper liners protect masonry from heat and corrosion while ensuring safe venting.

Chimney Chase & Framing: For prefabricated fireplaces and inserts, we build wood-framed chases with proper clearances, fire blocking, and exterior finishes that match your home.

Caps & Crowns: Install concrete chimney crowns with proper slope and overhang. Stainless steel or copper caps prevent water intrusion, animal entry, and debris accumulation.

Albatros Construction delivers experienced team in chimneys construction that provides safe venting and enhances your home’s character.

Why us

Why Choose Albatros Construction for Chimney Construction?

Code Compliance:

We build to NFPA 211 standards and local building codes including height requirements, clearances, liner specifications, and structural reinforcement.

Proper Sizing:

Flue size must match appliance requirements. Undersized flues cause draft problems and safety issues. We size chimneys correctly for efficient, safe operation.

Quality Materials:

We use face brick rated for freeze-thaw cycles, Type S mortar for exterior masonry, and UL-listed flue liners. Materials are selected for durability and performance.

Structural Engineering:

Chimneys are heavy structures requiring proper foundations and reinforcement. We design footings and masonry to support chimney weight and resist wind loads.

Custom Home Build Services

From foundation to finish, we bring your vision to life with experienced team in chimneys and personalized attention to every detail.

Frequently Asked Questions

Get Every Answer

How tall does a chimney need to be?

Chimneys must extend at least 3 feet above roof penetration and 2 feet higher than anything within 10 feet. Height ensures proper draft and prevents downdrafts.

Can chimneys be built inside or outside the house?

Both work. Interior chimneys stay warmer and draft better. Exterior chimneys are easier to build and don’t take interior space. We discuss options based on your layout.

How long does chimney construction take?

Most residential chimneys take 1-2 weeks from foundation to completion, depending on height and complexity. Weather affects masonry work schedules.

Do I need a permit to build a chimney?

Yes. Chimney construction requires building permits and inspections. We handle all permit applications and coordinate required inspections throughout construction.

What’s the difference between Class A chimney and masonry chimney?

Class A refers to prefabricated metal chimneys used with factory-built fireplaces. Masonry chimneys are site-built with brick, block, and flue liners. Both are safe when properly installed.
