Chimney Inspections
Annual chimney inspections identify creosote buildup, structural damage, and safety hazards before they escalate. Our CSIA-certified technicians use advanced tools to assess flues, liners, and masonry, ensuring compliance with fire codes. Regular inspections improve efficiency, prevent chimney fires, and extend system lifespan for residential and commercial properties.
Fireplace Installation
We specialize in installing gas inserts, wood stoves, and prefabricated fireplaces tailored to your home's needs. Our team ensures proper venting, code compliance, and seamless integration with existing systems. Professional installation maximizes safety, energy efficiency, and long-term performance for modern heating solutions.
Chimney Restoration
Chimney restoration services repair cracked masonry, damaged crowns, and deteriorated mortar joints to restore structural integrity. We use premium materials to enhance durability and aesthetics while preventing water intrusion. Restored chimneys improve home value, safety, and heating efficiency for Northern Virginia properties.
Masonry Repair
Our masonry experts address spalling bricks, crumbling fireboxes, and flue damage using time-tested techniques. Repairs prevent further deterioration, maintain historical accuracy for older homes, and ensure safe operation. Proper masonry care extends chimney lifespan and protects against costly structural issues.

Report
After being told by my HVAC man that I'd better get someone out to look at my chimney, I contacted Winston's. They inspected and ended up relining both my flues, rebuilt the top of the chimney where things were falling apart and rebuilt my firebox which I hadn't used in years because I knew it was a mess. I'm very happy with the final product. The crew that did the work, Ever, Ernesto and Jorje are the hardest working bunch I've ever seen in my life and they kept the worksite and my house clean. I'm enjoying having a fire again.

Winston Chimney Service cleaned, repaired, and installed a liner in our chimney. We were very happy with the work done by Daniel Fiores and his team, and the rest of the support team at Winstons. They were extremely knowledgeable and professional. It was easy to book their services and they delivered everything promised. The team did an excellent job of cleaning the work area when they finished, which was greatly appreciated. We highly recommend this company.

I recommend this company. They did a furnace vent reline, replaced the chase cover and repainted the chimney stack. The staff were excellent from the estimate done by Dan Wise to installation by Daniel C, Gustavo, and Tim. They were professional, punctual, and willing to answer questions. They took before pictures which convinced me to get the work done. Just wish they had provided after pictures.

I am really happy with Winston's Chimney, particularly Adonay and his team were punctual and thorough from the quote to completion of the work. They worked hard all day and were also very kind and professional people. It was obvious that they cared about doing good work and also making sure I was happy. I also had a great experience with Judy in the office. She was kind and gracious in answering all of my questions, worked hard to get me scheduled, and always provided me with the best service. Thank you, everyone!
