If you need chimney repairs, now is the time to schedule them. Once winter comes, ice and wind can turn minor problems into major ones, and you could face costly repairs. At Myers Brick in Independence, KY, you will find a master craftsman with a creative touch who is dedicated to providing the best brickwork and repairs.

Here are three reasons to call Myers Brick for fireplace and chimney repair before summer ends:

• Fall Is The Busy Season: There is nothing like cozying up to a roaring fireplace on a cold night. Since most people don’t use their fireplace year-round, they wait until it's almost winter to schedule cleaning and repairs. That means fall is the busy season, and it may be challenging to schedule chimney repairs around your schedule because the most convenient time slots already have been taken.

• Damage Gets Worse With Time: If you know your chimney is damaged, there is no reason to wait a few months to repair it. Even if your fireplace is not currently in use, the damage will worsen. What was a small, reasonable repair could turn into one that is large and costly.

• The Damage Could Be Worse Than You Think: If you wait until fall to schedule chimney repairs and discover the damage is worse than you thought, your fireplace might not be usable by the time winter starts. If fixing your fireplace turns out to be a big job, the team at Myers Brick will have to schedule your repair around the many appointments already booked during the fall months.
