We’ve been working in the 20706 corridor since 1984, long enough to remember when many of these Cape Cods and split-levels still burned oil. Russell Haines started this company on the principle that a chimney repair should be explained like a craftsman would explain it to a neighbor, not sold like a used car. If you live in Goddard, you already know the housing stock, the winters, and the particular way an older brick chimney weathers in Prince George’s County. So do we.

Why Hearthstone Chimney Co. Is Goddard’s Preferred Chimney Repair Company

Local reputation built on repeat customers. In Goddard and the surrounding 20706 area, most of our calls come from homeowners who were referred by a neighbor or who had us out years ago and remember that we showed up when promised. After 42 years in this region, we’ve repaired chimneys on streets off Greenbelt Road, near the Beltway interchange, and throughout the older subdivisions between Lanham and Seabrook. People here talk to each other. We aim to give them something worth saying.

Reviews from Goddard customers reflect steady workmanship. Our customers in Prince George’s County consistently mention the same things: the technician arrived in a marked truck and uniform, explained what was actually wrong without pushing unnecessary work, and left the job site clean. We don’t chase five-star ratings with gimmicks. We earn them by doing the repair correctly and standing behind it.

Response time that respects your schedule. Because our crews are already dispatched throughout Prince George’s County daily, Goddard residents rarely wait days for an appointment. Most standard repairs are scheduled within 48 hours. Emergency situations, such as a chimney leak during a hard freeze or visible structural damage after a storm, get priority same-day response when safety is a concern.

Local knowledge that prevents repeat problems. We know that many Goddard chimneys were built for coal or oil appliances and later converted to gas without proper relining. That specific history matters. An oversized flue running cool creates condensation that destroys liners from the inside while the brick looks sound. Our Chimney Repair team documents this with Level-2 camera inspections, photos you can see, and a plain-English verdict so you understand what you’re looking at before any work begins.

Our Chimney Repair Services in Goddard

Mortar Repointing

The brick chimneys in Goddard’s 1940s-through-1960s housing stock have survived 60 or more freeze-thaw cycles, and their original lime mortar is often crumbling. Repointing removes deteriorated mortar to a proper depth and replaces it with new mortar matched to the original composition and color. In Prince George’s County, where hard freezes from December through March drive water deep into open joints, this is preventive maintenance that stops structural failure before it starts. Most Goddard repointing jobs run $850-$1,600 for a standard single-flue chimney and are completed in one day.

Spalling Brick Repair

Spalling, the flaking and crumbling of brick faces, is epidemic in Goddard’s older neighborhoods. Water enters through failed crowns or open mortar joints, freezes, and pops off the brick surface layer by layer. We see this most often on chimneys in the original Cape Cods near Goddard Park and along the older streets off Annapolis Road. Repair involves removing damaged brick, addressing the water source, and installing matching replacement brick. Partial spalling repairs typically cost $650-$1,200; extensive rebuilding of multiple courses runs higher. We also offer Chimney Cap & Crown in Goddard to stop the water intrusion that causes spalling in the first place.

Chimney Waterproofing

Goddard’s humid mid-Atlantic climate means brick chimneys absorb moisture year-round, then face hard freezes that expand that moisture from within. Professional-grade waterproofing with vapor-permeable sealers, applied after any needed repairs, allows the chimney to breathe while blocking liquid water entry. We use products from HeatShield and Olympia Chimney formulated specifically for masonry in freeze-thaw zones. A standard Goddard chimney waterproofing treatment runs $400-$750 and carries our 90-Day Done Right Promise in writing.

Flashing Repair

Where the chimney meets the roof, metal flashing is the first line of defense. In Goddard’s older split-levels and colonials, original flashing is often corroded, improperly step-flashed, or sealed with deteriorated caulk. Our technicians remove damaged flashing, inspect the underlying deck for rot, and install new professional-grade flashing integrated with the roofing system. Most flashing repairs in the 20706 area cost $550-$1,100. We complete these in a single visit with no-hassle upfront pricing, so the number on the estimate is the number on the invoice.

Trusted Brands We Service in Goddard

We don’t use builder-grade substitutes. For Goddard repairs, we stock and install professional-grade materials from HeatShield, Gelco, and Famco, among others, with local inventory that keeps most jobs moving without waiting on freight. HeatShield’s cerfractory flue resurfacing system, for instance, lets us restore deteriorated clay liners in many Goddard chimneys without a full Chimney Liner & Rebuild - Goddard, saving homeowners significant cost while meeting PG County inspection standards. When a chimney cap or crown replacement is needed, Gelco’s stainless and copper options outlast the big-box versions by decades. We source through Olympia Chimney and Famco distributors with Maryland warehouses, which means faster turnaround for our customers in Prince George’s County and parts on hand when our truck pulls up to your Goddard home.

Common Chimney Repair Problems We See in Goddard Homes

• Condensation-damaged liners in gas-converted flues. Many 20706 homes switched from oil to natural gas decades ago without installing a properly sized stainless liner. The oversized flue runs too cool, so water vapor from gas combustion condenses on clay tile interiors, silently deteriorating them while the exterior brick looks fine. PG County home inspectors flag this regularly during sales.
• Crown cracks from freeze-thaw cycling. Goddard’s hard winters and humid summers create the perfect cycle for crown deterioration. A cracked crown lets water straight into the chimney core, accelerating every other form of damage. Post-winter inspection is the best prevention.
• Failed flashing on low-slope roofs common to split-levels. The split-levels and modest colonials built around Goddard in the 1950s and 1960s often have roof pitches and chimney configurations that stress standard flashing details. We see repeated leaks at these intersections that were “repaired” with caulk instead of proper metalwork.
• Spalling brick on south and west exposures. Chimneys on Goddard homes with southern or western sun exposure experience more aggressive thermal cycling, which opens mortar joints faster and drives moisture deeper into the brick. These chimneys often need repointing a decade sooner than shaded equivalents.
