Wheat Ridge is classic established-metro territory: mature neighborhoods, mature trees, and masonry chimneys that have quietly weathered more winters than most of their owners.
Our work here leans toward the masonry menu — inspection, sweeping, repointing, crown and cap service — with the goal of keeping original systems original.

Mature trees are part of Wheat Ridge's charm and part of its chimney story: overhanging branches drop debris onto uncapped or under-screened flues, and squirrels treat open flues as an invitation. A well-fitted cap with intact screening solves both — it's the least glamorous component on the chimney and one of the most valuable.
Baker Chimney & Fireplace has served Colorado homeowners since 1997 on a simple standard: inspect carefully, explain clearly, repair properly, and respect the home. We repair when repair makes sense and recommend replacement only when it's genuinely the better long-term answer. Phone lines are answered 24/7, and Wheat Ridge sits within our regular Front Range coverage.
Likely a bird or squirrel that found an open or damaged flue. We handle the flue-side of the problem and cap it properly so there's no repeat performance.
It should be intact, attached firmly and clear of debris or creosote. A clogged screen on a wood-burner also signals the flue itself needs cleaning.
We match mortar and brick as closely as the material allows. New work never disappears on day one, but done right it blends as it weathers.
