A Local Litchfield Installation Experience
Not long ago, we worked with a homeowner in the Northfield section of Litchfield who was restoring a beautiful 19th-century farmhouse. Their existing chimney was deteriorated and inefficient, causing smoke issues on windy days. They wanted a chimney that honored the character of the home but performed like a modern system. After designing a custom masonry chimney with a stainless-steel liner and a reinforced crown, the draft improved instantly — and the new chimney blended seamlessly with the home’s historic exterior. It’s a perfect example of how the right installation can protect both tradition and performance in Litchfield homes.
Chimney Installation – Common Issues

Bad Flashing Work: Causes early water damage
Misaligned Venting: Affects draft and system performance
Low-Grade Materials: Faster deterioration over time
Code Violations: Venting not meeting local safety standards
