We’ve been driving out to Five Corners since the mid-1980s, back when NE 78th Street was still two lanes in spots and the Orchards area was filling in with ranch homes faster than builders could grade the lots. Russell Haines started Hearthstone Chimney Co. in 1984, and our technicians know the difference between a 1982 split-level off NE 112th Avenue and a 1994 prefab fireplace in a cul-de-sac near Five Corners Park. That matters because the chimney problems in this ZIP code are not the same as what you’ll find in Portland’s Laurelhurst or even across the river in Vancouver’s older districts. The housing stock here is specific, the weather patterns are specific, and the fixes that actually last have to account for both.

When a Five Corners homeowner calls about a smoking fireplace or a liner that has finally corroded through, we don’t send a tech who needs GPS to find NE 72nd Street. We send someone who already knows that east-facing homes along NE 94th Avenue get hit hardest by Columbia River Gorge wind events, and who carries the right materials - DuraFlex, Gelco, Olympia Chimney - to fix it without a second trip.

Why Hearthstone Chimney Co. Is Five Corners’s Preferred Chimney Liner & Rebuild Company

Our reputation in Five Corners was built one job at a time, mostly by homeowners who called after a bad experience with a chain outfit or a handyman who disappeared. We don’t do disappearing acts. The 90-Day Done Right Promise is in writing - if it’s not right, we come back, no paperwork, no arguing. That’s the Keystone Standard, and it’s governed by the K.E.Y.S. code: Krafted right, Every time, Your home first, Standing behind it.

Five Corners customers have left us reviews mentioning specifically that our techs showed up on time, explained the problem in plain English, and left the living room cleaner than they found it. We’re not going to quote a star count or claim a specific number of reviews - that’s not how we talk. What we can say is that after 42 years, most of our calls in the 98662 ZIP come from neighbors who were referred by other neighbors.

Response time to Five Corners is typically same-day or next-day for standard appointments, and we keep emergency slots open for situations that can’t wait - a collapsed flue liner, a chimney fire, or a rebuild where the masonry has opened a path for water straight into the attic. Our technicians are background-checked, uniformed, and carry the professional-grade materials to complete most jobs in a single visit. No-hassle upfront pricing means the number on the estimate is the number on the invoice.

We also understand the local permitting landscape. Clark County requires permits for full chimney rebuilds and certain liner replacements in unincorporated areas like Five Corners. Our team handles the paperwork as part of the job, not as an add-on fee you discover later.

Our Chimney Liner & Rebuild Services in Five Corners

Stainless Steel Liner Installation

A stainless steel liner is the right choice for most Five Corners homes with masonry chimneys that have cracked clay flue tiles or missing mortar joints. The 42 inches of annual rain in this area finds every gap, and once water freezes in a crack, the flue tile spalls apart by spring. We install DuraFlex and Olympia Chimney stainless liners with proper top-sealing collars and insulation blankets rated for the Pacific Northwest temperature swings. A typical stainless steel liner in Five Corners runs $2,800-$4,500 including installation and the final inspection.

Flexible Liner for Offset Flues

Older ranch homes in the 98662 ZIP often have chimney flues with offsets - bends built in to dodge a header or a second-story floor joist. Rigid liners won’t make those turns. We use flexible DuraFlex liners engineered for multiple bends without kinking, pulled through from the top down with a winch rig our techs have refined over hundreds of Five Corners jobs. Flexible liner installation typically costs $3,200-$5,000 depending on length and the number of offsets. If your home is one of the split-levels near Five Corners Park with a center chimney, this is probably what you need.

Liner Replacement for Prefabricated Fireplaces

Here’s where Five Corners diverges from most chimney markets. The majority of homes in this area were built between 1975 and 1995 with builder-grade prefabricated metal fireplaces - zero-clearance units with UL-listed metal flue systems, not masonry. These factory-built units have a rated service life, and most in Five Corners are now 30-50 years old. The firebox panels rust, the gaskets fail, and the original manufacturer parts are often discontinued. We can’t always drop a new liner into a prefab unit; sometimes the entire firebox and flue system need replacement. When a liner replacement is possible, we source Gelco and Famco components compatible with the original listing. Costs range from $1,800 for a straightforward swap to $4,200 when surrounding metalwork needs attention.

Partial Chimney Rebuild

Not every failing chimney needs to come down to the roofline. In Five Corners, we regularly perform partial rebuilds on the upper courses above the roof, where Pacific Northwest rain and freeze-thaw cycles do the most damage. A partial rebuild addresses spalled brick, deteriorated crown mortar, and compromised flashing without disturbing the structure below. We match existing brick color and mortar tint where possible, and we always rebuild with our Chimney Cap & Crown in Five Corners sloped to shed water. Partial rebuilds in Five Corners start at $3,200 and typically run $3,200-$7,500 depending on height and accessibility.

Our Chimney Liner & Rebuild team also handles full chimney rebuilds when the damage extends below the roofline or when structural integrity is compromised. We can assess which path makes sense during our Level-2 camera inspection.

Trusted Brands We Service in Five Corners

We don’t use builder-grade substitutes. Hearthstone Chimney Co. works exclusively with professional-grade materials from brands that stand behind their products: DuraFlex for flexible and rigid stainless liners, Gelco for prefabricated fireplace components and caps, and Olympia Chimney for insulated liner systems and specialty fittings. We stock common diameters and lengths at our warehouse, which means most Five Corners jobs don’t wait on shipping. When a tech arrives at your home on NE 88th Street or down by the Orchards area, the right materials are already on the truck. That’s how we complete most liner and rebuild jobs in a single visit.

Common Chimney Liner & Rebuild Problems We See in Five Corners Homes

• Rusted firebox panels in prefab units. The 1970s-1990s prefabricated metal fireplaces common in Five Corners were built with steel fireboxes that rust from the inside out, especially when homeowners burn unseasoned wood or when roof leaks introduce moisture. By the time you see rust stains on the hearth, the panel integrity is often compromised.
• Failed clay flue liners in masonry chimneys. The minority of Five Corners homes with true masonry construction - mostly earlier builds near the edges of the 98662 ZIP - suffer from clay flue tiles that crack due to thermal shock and water infiltration. The persistent wet winters here accelerate the freeze-thaw damage that opens gaps between tiles.
• Smoke blowback during Gorge wind events. Cold east winds funneling through the Columbia River Gorge create negative pressure on east-facing homes in Five Corners, reversing chimney draft and pushing smoke into living rooms even from recently cleaned systems. This is a geography problem, not a maintenance problem, and it requires a functional fix like a top-mount damper or proper termination cap rather than another sweep.
• Discontinued manufacturer parts. Because so many Five Corners prefab fireplaces are 30-50 years old, original equipment manufacturers have merged, gone out of business, or discontinued specific firebox and flue components. Sourcing compatible replacements requires a technician who understands UL listings and can identify cross-compatible parts from Gelco or Famco without guessing.
