About this repair
Why Shuniah chimneys have it rough
Shuniah runs along the Lake Superior shore, and chimneys there deal with wind-driven rain, spray and deep cold — often on buildings that sit empty for part of the year.
- Full lakeshore exposure Wind off Superior drives water at every open joint and seam.
- Cold soaks into camps An unheated building freezes deeper and cycles more often.
- Storm after storm Repeated soakings work moisture into crowns, caps and flashing.

Shuniah chimney questions
Can't find yours? Send it with your photos.
Do you come out to Shuniah?
Yes — the service area covers homes within about 40 km of Thunder Bay, which takes in most of Shuniah. Photos come first, so the price range is ready before anyone drives out.
Can you assess a camp chimney if I am not there?
Yes, from photos — clear shots of every side, the top and the roofline are enough to start. The on-site check is then arranged around access.
The chimney only runs in summer. Does it still need repair?
Seasonal buildings often fare worse: with no heat inside, the masonry freezes harder and cycles more often, so damage keeps moving in the off-season.
When does out-of-town work get scheduled?
The same season as everywhere — above-freezing weather, roughly late spring to fall. Early photos make it easier to line up a slot.
