A failing flue isn't fixable — but it is reline-able. We size, install, and certify stainless liners that will outlive your house.
Original clay tile flues crack, shift, and corrode — especially in coastal Quincy homes where decades of salt air have eaten the joints. A failed flue means smoke, carbon monoxide, and heat leaking into the wall cavity. The fix isn't repair — it's replacement with a UL-listed stainless steel liner.
We install for every fuel type: wood-burning fireplaces, wood stoves, gas appliances (B-vent and direct vent), and oil furnaces. All liners are properly sized to the appliance, insulated to code, and come with manufacturer warranties up to lifetime. Installation is one day for most single-story homes.
Real chimney relining work across Quincy and the South Shore — stainless flex liners sized to the appliance and sealed at top and bottom.
Every chimney we touch in Quincy gets the same diagnostic discipline — find the actual cause, fix it properly, and document the work. Here's a closer look at the chimney liner installation problems we run into most.
Open fireplaces and wood-stove inserts need flexible or rigid stainless liners properly sized to the appliance — too large and you lose draft, too small and you back smoke into the room. We size to NFPA 211 cross-section requirements, every time.
Switching from oil to gas almost always requires a new, much smaller liner — gas appliances produce far less flue gas and need tighter cross-sections to maintain draft and prevent condensation. We carry AL29-4C corrosion-resistant alloy for high-efficiency gas units.
Oil heat produces highly corrosive flue gases that destroy clay liners and standard stainless. We install heavy-gauge UL-1777 listed liners with proper insulation for oil-burning equipment, common in Quincy's older heating systems.
Uninsulated liners run cooler, condense faster, and corrode sooner. Every liner we install includes appropriate insulation per the manufacturer's UL listing and NFPA 211 clearances to combustibles. This is non-negotiable in framed chimney chases.
Our standard liner installations carry manufacturer lifetime transferable warranties on the liner itself. We register the warranty in your name and provide the documentation as part of the close-out package. If you ever sell the home, the warranty transfers.
Quincy home sales often turn up cracked clay flue tiles during Level 2 inspections. A new stainless liner is the standard, fast remediation — typically completed in one day so closings stay on track.
Four clear steps — no vague pricing, no surprise add-ons, no rushed work.

Single-flue stainless liner in Quincy: $1,800–$3,400 fully installed including insulation, top plate, and code inspection. AL29-4C alloy for high-efficiency gas: add $400–$700.

Stainless liners are essentially maintenance-free for the wood/gas user. Annual sweeps include liner inspection from inside. Coastal homes benefit from waterproofing on the surrounding masonry to keep moisture from migrating to the liner-to-flue gap. After a fire or major impact, schedule a Level 2 inspection to confirm the liner is intact.
