The Anglin’s approach
The details behind your repair.
What caused the movement, how we repair it, and what the work includes.
Why is the structure moving?
The usual cause is unstable soil under the footing. This is the cause we see most. Many backyard fireplaces go in on a footing built for looks, not for tons of stone.
How is the repair completed?
We fix the ground problem first and the masonry second, the same order we use on every structural repair. We check which way the fireplace moved, how far, and what is attached to it, like a patio, seat walls or a hearth. Some fireplaces need footing support, but if only the stone is cracked and the footing is steady, we tell you it is not our job. Our crew drives steel push piers under the footing so the fireplace stops sinking.
What does the repair cover?
We only repair outdoor fireplaces that are settling, sinking or leaning. No gas fireplace, gas log or burner service No outdoor kitchen repairs, grills or counters No building new outdoor fireplaces, fire pits or patios
Why choose Anglin’s for this repair?
Most outdoor fireplace companies service gas units or build new ones. Structure and masonry, one crew. Four generations of masons who know how stone and brick behave when the ground moves. No commissioned salesmen.

“I had a settling problem with an outdoor fireplace that had me losing sleep. The guys at Anglin came in with such confidence that I was quickly put at ease.
