A chimney is more than decorative. It plays a critical role in venting smoke and gases safely out of your home. Our experts build and maintain chimneys to meet the highest safety standards, giving you peace of mind every time you light your fireplace.

Brick and stone require minimal upkeep compared to other materials. With proper sealing and occasional inspections, your chimney will maintain its beauty and function with very little effort.

Our Process
Every chimney project at Royal Tile & Masonry follows a process designed for excellence. From new construction to detailed restoration, we combine artistry with technical skill.
1. Consultation
We begin with a detailed consultation to understand your goals, style preferences, and any existing chimney concerns. This step ensures we create a plan that matches your needs and budget.
2. Design
Our experts present design options, including brick and stone types, patterns, and finishing details. Whether you prefer a traditional brick chimney or a rustic stone design, we provide guidance that ensures your new or restored chimney complements your home.
3. Preparation
Proper preparation is key for safety and longevity. We inspect structural supports, assess ventilation requirements, and ensure the foundation is ready to handle the weight and performance of your new chimney.
4. Installation
Our masons carefully construct or restore your chimney using time-tested techniques. Each brick or stone is placed with precision, ensuring clean lines, stability, and visual harmony.
5. Finishing Touches
Once the masonry is complete, we apply sealants or protective finishes as needed. These final steps safeguard your investment against moisture, weather, and daily use. We finish every project with a focus on safety, durability, and beauty.
