Chimney Cleaning
Soot, creosote and blockages cleared out — so your fireplace drafts clean and burns safely all winter.
Learn more →Irwin's older homes often have masonry chimneys well suited to repointing and restoration.

Irwin is a community where older homes and original masonry are part of the character, and that history shows up in the chimneys. Roosevelt Chimney Works works on exactly this kind of building stock — historic borough homes with a good deal of original brick — across Westmoreland County.
Because Irwin is part of Westmoreland County, its homes carry the particular mix of ages and styles that county is known for — historic borough homes with a good deal of original brick. Irwin's older homes often have masonry chimneys well suited to repointing and restoration. That context shapes how we approach every chimney here: we read the home first, then recommend what it actually needs.
Chimneys in Irwin face the same relentless cycle every year: rain and snow soak into the masonry, freeze overnight, and expand. Over enough winters, that's what cracks crowns, opens mortar joints, and spalls brick. Regular inspection and waterproofing are the antidote.
We also serve neighboring North Huntingdon, Greensburg, Latrobe and many more across Westmoreland County. Wherever you are in the Greater Pittsburgh area, Roosevelt Chimney Works can help.
In Irwin, no two chimney jobs are quite alike — which is why we don't work from a script. We inspect thoroughly, explain what we find in plain language, prioritize what genuinely needs doing, and then do it with the proper materials and technique for our climate.
Every one of these is available to Irwin homeowners. Tap any service to learn more.
