What are Masonry Contractors?
As you may or may not know, a chimney is constructed of a variety of masonry and metal materials. This typically includes brick, mortar, concrete, stone, iron, and steel. Masonry materials take a pounding from temperature changes and patterns including extreme hot and cold temperatures, heavy winds, and direct contact with sometimes overwhelming amounts of water. Weather can damage flue linings, loosen masonry materials and cause obstructions that are not good for your chimney and fireplace.
Masonry contractors like Masters Services, offer protection, repairs, and rebuilds. Regular maintenance of your chimney is critical to prevent major damage, deterioration, and repairs that can be very expensive.

Chimney Waterproofing
Masonry chimneys are constructed of a combination of masonry and metal materials. With most masonry materials, direct and constant contact with water can cause an adverse reaction on a chimney. Regular maintenance of a chimney is recommended to prevent damage, deterioration, and costly repairs. Waterproofing service can aid in the reduction of chimney leaks and deterioration.
Chimney Cap Repairs and Chimney Cap Fabrications
A chimney cap protects your chimney masonry from damage and keeps wildlife out. A full-coverage chimney cap keeps out the rainwater that erodes the chimney structure and components. Masters Services fabricates their very own chimney cap. These chimney caps carry a limited lifetime warranty and are made from a 24 gauge flat sheet of metal and each features an animal-proofed screen. Full coverage means that these chimney caps cover the entire chimney top and the first row of brick. This helps reduce the need for chimney repairs.
Chimney Dampers
A chimney damper is installed on the top of the flue and features a chain coming down into the firebox. Top sealing dampers seal out any rain blowing into the chimney cap. More importantly, top dampers seal in the hot or cold air escaping from the HVAC system as well as keeping the outside heat or cold from entering a home. Combined with a full coverage chimney cap makes your chimney ready for all types of weather in Dallas County.
Mortar Crowns
A chimney should be solid on top with a bed of smooth mortar holding the chimney top together. A coating can be applied to seal the mortar crown and once sealed, the chimney top should never deteriorate or leak.
Brick Repair
Repairing a chimney crack is called tuckpointing. This involves drilling out any cracks and filling them in with as close as possible matching aged mortar. A good job means that the eye cannot see that a repair was made on a chimney. Oftentimes, tuckpointing the entire chimney is necessary to stop a chimney from leaking.
Chimney Flashing
Chimney flashing is the seal that prevents moisture from entering your home at the point where a chimney meets the roof. Flashing should be secured to the chimney and not bowing out. It should be free from rust or holes. Correctly applied to flash creates a bond that forms a tight seal from moisture entering the roof, attic, or walls and thereby, avoiding any potential future water leak requiring chimney repairs.
Custom Made Fireplace Doors are an Amazing Alternative to the Standard Variety
The job of a fireplace door is to provide safety from fireplace sparks and flames, in addition to keeping warm air inside while minimizing drafts. Well, Masters Services found a way to combine that functionality and craftsmanship with stylish elegance in their own unique fabrication. You see, the Masters Services steel and tempered glass panels are interchangeable. Unlike anything sold today, these door panels can be switched out for a new design as often as a homeowner would like. In addition, these doors can be made to fit almost any fireplace opening including masonry and prefabricated firebox fronts.
Masters Services also sells realistic and best burning gas logs on the market to provide a safe, beautiful fire in your home in Richardson, TX.
Masters Services Provides Additional Important Services to Keep a Home Safe
Masters Services performs dryer vent cleaning and air duct cleaning, important services necessary for every residential and commercial location in Richardson, TX. A dryer vent cleaning can help eliminate fire hazards and improve drying time, thereby saving on energy costs.
Why is air duct cleaning important? There can be a ton of dirt hiding in your air ducts, buildup from daily HVAC use.
