Masonry can be a durable material. We love it for its authenticity and looks but all masonry has a worthy opponent constantly working to destroy what we have built.

Moisture is the natural enemy of all masonry materials.

• Chemical reactions can cause unsightly stains and runs.
• Masonry is like a sponge – absorbing water
• When obsorbed moisture freezes, masonry materials crack, spawl, and eventually crumble.
• Watter, added to flue products creates an acidic environment extremely destructive to flue tiles, liners, and masonry materials.
• Driveways, sidewalks, foundations, walls, patios are all subject to the damaging effects of water. We can also clean your masonry if needed. Patios, garage floors and driveways can look almost new again and then be sealed to keep them that way.

WE HAVE A CURE!

Sure you can run down to Home Depot and buy some water seal and spray it all over your house and do a fair job at it. However, masonry protection is a very sophisticated realm.

We use highly specialized products for sealing masonry structures that are vapor-permeable. In simple terms, they allow masonry to breath out but not in. Any moisture that was already soaked in will be exhaled but no new moisture can enter the masonry structure. In fact, our products can halt destruction to a structure with visible damage!

Using consumer-grade protection ensures your work is never ending. Off-the-shelf products must be re-applied every year and maybe more often than that! Our professional products are guaranteed for 10 year protection! Do the math and you will quickly see the value in calling Jack’s to seal all your masonry and then forgetting about it until the year 2020!

With another cold winter behind us it’s time to celebrate the warm weather by getting out there to enjoy it!

But, for the frugal homeowner summertime presents a wealth of value and security by having your annual services done in the off-season when business is slower. What’s more is the faster you get the gunk out of your chimney and take care of small repairs, the better your home will smell and you help ensure your chimney is not being further damaged by postponing maintenance.

We are slashing prices through june on our in-house services such as;

• Gas log service
• Gas stove & fireplace service
• Chimney cleaning
• stove maintenance & repairs
• installations

When July comes, although it is still hot, people start thinking about winter again and preparing. RIGHT NOW you can save a lot and eliminate the scheduling hassles to come by scheduling your services to be done while our calendar is not so full.

Shoot us an email at Jack@firebyjack.com or give us a call at 828-367-0031. YES, we work on Saturdays if you need us then!
