Call (844) 803-1545

We’ve been working in the 97225 ZIP for decades. The hillside ranch and split-level homes off Scholls Ferry Road and Beaverton-Hillsdale Highway have chimneys we know by type - original single-wythe brick stacks from the 1960s, clay-tile flues that have seen fifty or sixty heating seasons, and rooflines steep enough that not every sweep’s ladder will reach. When you call us, you’re not explaining your neighborhood to someone reading a map. We’ve already replaced crowns on the slopes above Oleson Road and repointed chimneys tucked into the daylight basements near the Raleigh Hills Shopping Center, and we offer Chimney Cleaning & Sweep - Raleigh Hills to keep them maintained.

Why Hearthstone Chimney Co. Is Raleigh Hills’s Preferred Chimney Repair Company

Russell Haines founded this company in 1984, and we’ve built our reputation one chimney at a time. In Raleigh Hills, that means showing up when we say, documenting what we find with camera photos you can see yourself, and pricing the work upfront so the number on the estimate matches the number on the invoice. Our Chimney Repair team doesn’t leave until the homeowner understands what was wrong and how we fixed it.

Our technicians are background-checked, uniformed, and trained to complete most repairs in a single visit. We don’t subcontract to day laborers or send someone who needs to “come back with the right parts.” The truck that pulls into your driveway on the lower eastern slopes of the Tualatin Mountains carries DuraFlex liners, HeatShield refractory mortar, and the specific crown-forming materials these chimneys need.

Every job is backed by our 90-Day Done Right Promise - in writing, no arguing. If something isn’t right, we come back and make it right. That’s been our standard for over 42 years, and it’s why homeowners in Raleigh Hills call us back when their neighbors need a referral.

Calls are answered by a live person 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Not a callback queue. Not an app. A real person who can get a technician scheduled.

Our Chimney Repair Services in Raleigh Hills

Mortar Repointing

The West Hills micro-climate hits chimney mortar harder than flatter Portland suburbs. Raleigh Hills sees 40-plus inches of annual rainfall, and that moisture works into the joints between bricks, softening the original lime-or-Portland-cement mortar until it powders out. We grind out the deteriorated joint to proper depth - never a superficial skim coat - and repoint with color-matched, professional-grade mortar formulated for Oregon’s wet-freeze cycles. On homes near the intersection of Scholls Ferry Road and Beaverton-Hillsdale Highway, where the 1950s and 1960s ranches sit shoulder-to-shoulder, we’ve repointed dozens of chimneys that were shedding sand onto the roof below.

Spalling Brick Repair

Spalling - the flaking and crumbling of brick faces - is epidemic in Raleigh Hills’s older housing stock. The combination of saturated brick from winter rains and freeze-thaw cycling pops the faces off original clay bricks, especially on south- and west-facing exposures that get the most sun-driven thermal cycling. We don’t just caulk over the damage. We remove and replace spalled bricks with matching units, seal the surrounding masonry with breathable water repellent, and identify whether the root cause is a failed crown, deteriorated flashing, or simply age. In the concentrated belt of post-WWII homes between Oleson Road and the Washington County border, we’ve restored chimneys that other contractors had condemned as total losses.

Chimney Waterproofing

Waterproofing a chimney in Raleigh Hills requires products that can breathe - trapping moisture inside the masonry is worse than letting it in. We apply professional-grade, vapor-permeable water repellents from Copperfield and Famco that allow the chimney to dry out while shedding liquid water. This is critical in the 97225 ZIP, where the dense Douglas fir canopy keeps chimneys shaded and damp for months at a stretch. We also inspect and repair the crown and flashing as part of any waterproofing job, because coating brick without fixing the entry points is throwing money away.

Flashing Repair

The steep, complex rooflines common to hillside homes in Raleigh Hills make flashing work particularly exacting. Step flashing, counterflashing, and cricket construction around chimney penetrations must accommodate pitches that change across a single roof plane. We’ve repaired flashing on offset chimneys in daylight-basement homes where the flue exits halfway down the roof slope, and on multi-section flue runs that require custom-fabricated solutions. Our technicians solder and seal with materials rated for the movement these old structures experience through wet winters and dry summers.

Trusted Brands We Service in Raleigh Hills

We stock and install professional-grade materials from the manufacturers that serious sweeps trust: DuraFlex stainless steel liners for relining damaged clay flues, HeatShield refractory mortar for resurfacing eroded smoke chambers, and Copperfield and Famco caps, dampers, and waterproofing products, including everything needed for a Chimney Liner & Rebuild - Raleigh Hills. Because we maintain inventory for the Raleigh Hills market, we don’t order parts after we see your chimney - we measure, cut, and install in the same visit whenever possible. That matters when the heating season runs October through April and you need the fireplace working before the next cold front drops out of the Tualatin Mountains.

Common Chimney Repair Problems We See in Raleigh Hills Homes

• Glazed creosote accelerated by conifer debris. The Douglas fir and big-leaf maple canopy overhanging Raleigh Hills drops needles, cones, and resinous pitch into chimneys that were built for regular wood burning. This debris combines with normal creosote to form a glazed, tar-like deposit that standard brushing won’t remove and that corrodes clay flue tiles from the inside.
• Crown failure from moss invasion. The persistent moisture and shade under the West Hills tree canopy grows moss and biological film on concrete crowns. That moss holds water against the crown surface, accelerates freeze-thaw damage, and opens cracks that funnel water straight into the masonry core.
• Mortar joint deterioration outrunning the brick. In the 1950s-1970s construction era that dominates 97225, mortar mixes were often softer than the brick they surrounded. Sixty years of wet winters have turned that mortar to sand while the brick itself remains structurally sound - creating the classic “loose brick” chimney that looks worse than it is, but only if repointed before bricks start shifting.
• Multi-section flue misalignment from hillside settling. Homes built into the eastern slopes of the Tualatin Mountains often have chimneys with offset sections or transition throats to accommodate grade changes. Decades of subtle hillside soil movement can open gaps between flue sections or crack supporting masonry, creating draft problems and creosote leakage into wall cavities.
