“Genesis Home Services came out for a brief inspection before providing thorough advice and instructions. Professional, honest, and helpful — I wouldn't think twice about using this company again.”

“David did an excellent job doing a clean up and tune up of our very old gas fireplace. He spent time explaining how to best operate and maintain the fireplace. Very knowledgeable and professional.”

“The Genesis team was easy to coordinate with and they showed up on time — at the beginning of the window! — and gave clear, direct recommendations without any pressure. Would absolutely hire again.”

“Hired Genesis for dryer vent cleaning after a friend's recommendation. The tech was on time, explained exactly what he found (a pretty serious lint clog), and had it cleaned in 45 minutes. House smells better and I feel a lot safer. Five stars without hesitation.”

“I found Genesis through Angi and could not be happier. They came out the next day for a chimney inspection before we started using our fireplace for the season. Technician was thorough, honest, and didn't try to upsell anything unnecessary. Will be booking them every year.”

“Amazing work from Genesis! They came in and worked with my vision to convert one of our fireplaces to gas log and retrofit the other with a gas fire starter. Not only did they take the time to understand exactly what I wanted and make a clear plan, but they even got up on the roof and found a few other critical issues that needed fixing. They handled a long list of items, coordinating and negotiating with other vendors to get everything done quickly and done right — from roof and chimney work to running new gas lines to sweeping. The end result was a custom solution that fit our home perfectly and looks incredible. I can't say enough about the quality of their work, timeliness, and professionalism. Highly recommend!”

“I couldn't be happier with Genesis Home Services! David, our technician, was nothing short of amazing. He arrived promptly and immediately zeroed in on the issue. His commitment to getting the job done quickly and efficiently was impressive, but what really stood out was his kindness and professionalism throughout the entire process. David's ability to provide a swift diagnosis went above and beyond my expectations. It's rare to find a service that's both fast and thorough, and Genesis Home Services nailed it. Highly recommend Genesis Home Services to anyone in need.”

The Genesis Difference
We diagnose, not just quote
We inspect your full chimney system before recommending any repair. You'll understand exactly what's wrong, why it happened, and what it'll cost — before we touch a thing.
Repair what needs repairing
We won't upsell a rebuild when tuckpointing is the right fix. Our technicians are paid on quality, not commission — so you get honest recommendations every time.
We match your existing masonry
Color-matched mortar and brick sourcing means repairs blend in, not stand out. Your chimney looks restored, not patched.
Puget Sound expertise
We've worked through hundreds of wet Puget Sound winters. We know how our region's rain and freeze-thaw cycles attack masonry — and we repair it to withstand what's coming next.
Licensed, bonded, insured
Every technician is background-checked and licensed in Washington State. Our work is fully insured and backed by a 100% satisfaction guarantee.
All Chimney Repair Services
We handle every type of chimney and masonry repair — from minor repointing to complete rebuilds.
Chimney Leak Repair
We diagnose the true source — flashing, crown, mortar, or cap — and fix the underlying cause.

Masonry Repair & Tuckpointing
Freeze-thaw cycles eat mortar joints year after year. We restore structure and match your existing brick.

Chimney Flashing Repair
Failed flashing is the #1 cause of attic leaks. We reseal or replace for a watertight connection.

Chimney Crown Repair
A cracked crown lets water into the masonry below. We seal or rebuild — whatever the condition requires.

Chimney Cap Installation
An uncapped chimney invites rain, animals, and debris. Stainless steel caps with spark arrestors.

Chimney Relining
A damaged liner is a safety hazard. We install stainless steel liner systems sized to your appliance.

Partial & Full Rebuilds
When damage is too widespread for repair, we rebuild — matched masonry, only when genuinely needed.
Learn moreDon't Ignore These Warning Signs
Chimney damage almost always starts small and gets expensive fast. Homeowners across Puget Sound who spot these early save thousands.
- White staining (efflorescence) on exterior brick — a sign water is already inside
- Crumbling, cracked, or missing mortar between bricks
- Water stains on ceilings or walls near the fireplace
- A damaged, cracked, or missing chimney crown
- Rust stains inside the firebox or on the damper
- Bricks that are spalling (cracking or flaking on the face)
- Smoke backing up into the room when the fireplace is in use
- A leaning chimney or visible gap at the roofline
Why Act Now?
Small cracks → major leaks
A hairline crack in a crown or mortar joint costs a few hundred dollars to fix. The same crack after one wet Puget Sound winter can require full crown replacement, interior repairs, and mold remediation.
Water damage compounds
Once water gets into masonry, it migrates through walls, into attic framing, and down to the firebox. The repair bill grows every season you wait.
Safety risks are real
A cracked flue liner allows carbon monoxide, heat, and sparks into your home. This isn't a cosmetic issue — it's a fire and CO hazard that needs to be addressed promptly.
What to Expect
Every repair follows the same transparent, clean process.
Inspect
We assess the full chimney system — interior, exterior, crown, flashing, firebox — and document every issue found.
Report & Quote
You receive a plain-English written estimate. Every repair is itemized. No pressure, no mystery pricing.
Repair
We complete the work with drop cloths and cleanup. Materials are matched to your existing masonry throughout.
Walk-Through
We show you exactly what was done, explain why, and provide a maintenance recommendation going forward.
Certified & Local
Repair Done Right, the First Time
Our technicians diagnose the root cause before recommending any work. Color-matched mortar, matched brick, clean job sites — and a written report on every visit so you know exactly what was done.
