Why Hearthstone Chimney Co. Is Guthrie’s Preferred Chimney Repair Company
We’ve been driving to Guthrie since 1984, back when the drive up from Oklahoma County was mostly two-lane. In forty-two years, we’ve repointed mortar on homes near the Oklahoma Territorial Museum, rebuilt chimney crowns in Cottonwood Flats, and replaced rusted flashing in neighborhoods off Highway 33. Our customers here tend to stay put - they own their homes outright, they remember the contractor who didn’t show, and they want the repair done once, done right, and never thought about again.
Our reviews from Guthrie homeowners mention the same things: the technician arrived when promised, the photos showed exactly what was wrong, and the estimate matched the final bill. No haggling, no surprises. We complete most repairs in a single visit, and our 90-Day Done Right Promise means if something isn’t right, we come back and make it right - in writing, no arguing.
Calls are answered by a live person 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Not a voicemail, not a callback queue. When ice builds up in your flue at midnight or a windstorm tears flashing loose on a Sunday, someone who can dispatch help is on the other end of the line.
Our Chimney Repair Services in Guthrie
Mortar Repointing
The lime mortar in Guthrie’s pre-1920 chimneys was never meant to withstand eighty years of freeze-thaw cycles, yet many of these joints are original. We grind out deteriorated mortar to proper depth and repoint with color-matched, breathable mortar that moves with the brick instead of cracking against it. In the historic district especially, we’ve learned to match the original joint profile - struck, weathered, or beaded - so the repair disappears into the facade. A typical repointing job on a Guthrie Victorian chimney runs $450-$850.

Spalling Brick Repair
Spalling - the flaking and crumbling of brick faces - is epidemic on Guthrie’s north-facing chimneys where melting ice refreezes against the masonry night after night. Once the hard-fired exterior skin pops off, the softer interior core absorbs water like a sponge. We remove spalled units, source replacement brick that matches the original color and compression strength, and rebuild with proper bond pattern, or perform a full Chimney Liner & Rebuild - Guthrie when needed. For chimneys with widespread spalling, partial rebuilds typically range from $800-$1,600 in the Guthrie market.

Chimney Waterproofing
Guthrie’s combination of driving plains rain and sudden temperature drops creates the perfect conditions for water infiltration. We apply vapor-permeable sealers - never the trapping film-coatings sold at hardware stores - that let the masonry breathe while shedding liquid water. For historic chimneys with already-compromised mortar, waterproofing is often the difference between a manageable maintenance cycle and a full rebuild in five years. Expect $350-$550 for application on a standard Guthrie chimney.

Flashing Repair
The step flashing where chimney meets roof is the most common leak point we find in Guthrie, especially on homes with original metal that has worked loose through decades of thermal expansion. We fabricate custom flashing from copper or galvanized steel, integrate it properly with the roofing membrane, and seal with high-temperature sealant. Most flashing repairs in Guthrie run $280-$520 and stop the leak the same day.

No builder-grade substitutes, no “this will do.” The thing done correctly, with the thing made for the job.
Common Chimney Repair Problems We See in Guthrie Homes
- Multi-flue stacks with abandoned, open throats. Many Guthrie Victorians have two or three flues in one chimney - originally for parlor stove, kitchen range, and furnace. Homeowners often gas-insert one flue without capping the others, leaving deteriorated openings where squirrels, rain, and cold air pour straight into wall cavities.
- Freeze-thaw destruction of century-old lime mortar. Guthrie sits in Oklahoma’s ice-storm belt, and the soft, porous brick on pre-1910 chimneys absorbs sleet melt that refreezes overnight, expanding and pulverizing the mortar joints from within. Spring inspections here almost always find new spalling.
- Negative-pressure downdrafts in tall Victorian stacks. The high southern-plains wind creates suction at the top of unusually tall chimneys common to the area, blowing smoke back into living rooms even when the flue is technically clear. The fix is usually a properly engineered cap or flue extension, not more draft.
- Unlined flues venting modern appliances. Original 1889-1920 chimneys were built without clay tile liners, yet homeowners connect high-efficiency gas inserts to them. The cooler exhaust condenses acids against bare brick, rapidly deteriorating the flue and creating carbon monoxide migration risks into bedrooms.
Pricing for Chimney Repair in Guthrie, OK
Here’s what chimney repair costs in the Guthrie market, based on jobs we’ve completed in the last eighteen months:
- Flashing repair: $280-$520

We give you the full price before any work begins, and that number doesn’t change unless you ask for additional work. Free estimates, no obligation.

FAQs - Chimney Repair in Guthrie
We typically arrive within 45 minutes for calls in the 73044 area, and we schedule most non-emergency repairs within one to two business days. If you’re smelling gas, seeing active water intrusion, or have a chimney fire risk, we prioritize same-day response.

Yes, we repair chimneys throughout Guthrie, from the Victorian core near Oklahoma Avenue to newer construction east of Highway 33 and the rural properties along the Cimarron River. The historic district is actually where we do some of our most specialized work, given the concentration of unlined masonry flues and original lime mortar. Our Chimney Repair team carries the specific materials and techniques these older chimneys require.
Yes, our phones are staffed by a live person 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, including holidays. If a windstorm tears your flashing loose at 10 PM or you discover active water pouring through the ceiling on a Sunday morning, we can dispatch a technician. Not every after-hours call requires immediate dispatch - sometimes we can talk you through temporary measures - but the option is always available. Call (844) 803-1545 any time.
Generally no - our pricing is consistent across the metro area. The one exception is historic Guthrie homes with unlined flues or specialized mortar matching, where the repair scope is simply larger than a standard suburban chimney job. A flashing repair in Edmond and a flashing repair in Guthrie cost the same; a full repointing on an 1890 Queen Anne costs more than the same service on a 1985 ranch because there’s more to do. We quote every job individually, and estimates are free.
Every repair is backed by our 90-Day Done Right Promise in writing. If the repair fails or wasn’t done correctly, we return and make it right with no paperwork and no arguing. For materials, we honor manufacturer warranties from DuraFlex, HeatShield, and Famco where applicable. We’ve been in business since 1984, and we plan to be here when you need us again - that’s the only warranty that truly matters. Call (844) 803-1545 with any concern, and we’ll handle it.
