Craftsmanship is the whole idea
Roosevelt Chimney Works was built on a simple, old-fashioned standard: do the work the way it should be done, and build it to last.
Built Right. Built to Last.
Our name and our tagline point at the same thing. A chimney is one of the hardest-working systems in a house — masonry, metal, and fire, exposed to every extreme our Western Pennsylvania weather can throw at it. Cutting corners on a chimney doesn't stay hidden for long; it shows up as a leak, a draft problem, or a crack that widens every winter.
So we don't cut them. We match mortar to the masonry, size liners to the appliance, and build crowns that actually shed water. We favor repairing what's sound over replacing what isn't. And we show you the real condition of your chimney — with a camera where it helps — so you can make decisions based on evidence, not a sales pitch.
How we work
Every job starts with an honest look. We diagnose the actual problem before recommending a fix, because the wrong repair on the right symptom solves nothing. A ceiling stain might be a crown, flashing, a cap, or porous brick — and each calls for something different.
From there, you get a clear, prioritized plan: what genuinely needs doing now, and what can reasonably wait. Then we do the work with proper materials and technique, keep a clean worksite, and treat your home with the respect it deserves.
The Roosevelt standard
Honest diagnosis
Camera-backed inspections and plain-English explanations. You see what we see before any recommendation.
Repair before replace
We recommend the least invasive fix that genuinely solves the problem — and tell you honestly when replacement is the right call.
Proper materials
The right mortar, the right liner, the right crown detailing for a freeze-thaw climate. Details that make work last.
Respect for the home
Drop cloths, containment, and a clean worksite. We leave your home the way we found it — minus the problem.
Safety first
Chimneys involve fire and combustion gases. We never compromise on the things that keep your family safe.
Local knowledge
We read your chimney in the context of Pittsburgh's housing and weather, because that's where it actually lives.
From the historic homes of the city to the growing suburbs and river towns, Roosevelt Chimney Works serves homeowners within roughly 60 miles of Pittsburgh.
