Edina has one of the widest ranges of home ages in the Twin Cities, from Colonial-style homes built in the Country Club District in the 1920s and 30s, to 1950s and 60s ramblers in neighborhoods like Indian Hills and Rolling Green, to newer custom builds and full remodels. At JB Chimney Services, we tailor our approach to your home’s actual era of construction, whether that means preserving original masonry or servicing a modern rebuild. Call 651-800-8896 for chimney care that respects your home’s history and its current condition.
Edina’s mix of century-old homes, mid-century ramblers, and modern rebuilds means our crews handle a wider range of chimney types here than almost anywhere else in the Twin Cities.
Homes in Edina’s Country Club District date largely to 1924–1944, and many in Morningside go back to the 1905–1935 streetcar suburb era. Original chimneys from this period were built with lime-based mortar, which is softer and behaves differently than modern Portland cement mortar. Repointing these chimneys with the wrong mortar mix can trap moisture and accelerate brick damage instead of preventing it. We match historic mortar composition and techniques so repairs hold up without compromising the masonry’s original character, which matters for homes inside Edina’s Heritage Preservation District where facade changes require city approval.
Many Edina homes have been expanded or fully remodeled over the decades, and it’s common to find a house with two or three separate fireplaces added at different times, each tied to its own flue. When additions or remodels change a home’s layout without updating the venting to match, chimneys can end up undersized, improperly spaced from combustible materials, or sharing a flue that was never designed for it. We inspect multi-flue systems for code compliance and correct venting problems left behind by past renovations.
At JB Chimney Services, your satisfaction and home safety are our top priorities. We drape floors, tarp work areas, and use high-suction vacuums on every job, so you’re never left with a mess. We proudly serve Edina homeowners Sunday – Friday (8:00 AM – 8:00 PM) and Saturdays (Closed).

Yes. We're experienced working on homes with historic designation and know how to repair or repoint masonry using mortar and techniques appropriate to the home's original construction, which helps you stay compliant with district requirements for street-facing facades.
Generally yes. Each fireplace typically has its own flue, and each one needs to be inspected and swept on its own, since wear, clearances, and venting issues can differ between them even in the same house.
The sweeping process itself is similar, but older chimneys often need a more careful inspection first. Original lime-mortar masonry and clay liners from the 1920s–1950s can be more fragile than modern materials, so we adjust our approach to avoid causing damage during the service.
Whether you own a century-old home in the Country Club District or a newly remodeled property, your chimney deserves a real inspection, not an assumption. JB Chimney Services offers transparent pricing, local expertise, and spotless results, every visit.
