How this site works
A short account of the referral, the recording notice, and what we cannot promise.
Chimney Repair Peoria is a referral service. We connect Peoria area homeowners with an independent local mason. We do not own trucks, and we do not lay brick. Calls may be recorded.
Calls may be recorded.
The path of a request
- You call the number or use the form. On this sample, neither one reaches a mason.
- On the live site, the request would go to one local mason.
- That mason would call you, look at the chimney, and give you a price.
- If you hire them, you pay them. If a contractor is paying for these referrals, that is between the contractor and this site. It is not a line item we add to your repair.
Calls may be recorded
Illinois law treats secret recording of a private conversation as an offense unless every person on the call has agreed. A live version of this number would play a recording notice before the call is connected, so the recording is not a surprise. Read the statute yourself. The number printed here is a placeholder, and this sample does not record anything.
- Illinois eavesdropping statute. Illinois law makes secret recording of a private conversation an offense unless every person on the call has consented. The statute is the place to read the exact rule.
Calls may be recorded. That sentence is on every page of this site on purpose.
Missed calls
This site is not set up to text you back if a call is missed. A live version would alert the mason by email instead. We are not going to imply that a person is waiting by the phone at all hours.
Licenses and insurance
Verify any contractor yourself. The City of Peoria trade license page lists electrical and heating contractors. It does not list masonry. That does not mean every chimney job is exempt from a permit. The permit page does say that adding a fireplace needs a permit. Ask Building Safety about a rebuild or a repair before you assume.
- City of Peoria trade licenses. The city licenses electrical and heating contractors. That page does not list a masonry license. Confirm with Building Safety what, if anything, a mason must register.
- City of Peoria permit list. The city says a permit is required to add a fireplace, wood stove, or unit heater. The public list does not give tuckpointing, a crown, or a cap its own line. Ask Building Safety before assuming a permit is or is not required.
- City of Peoria Building Safety. Building Safety is the office that answers permit questions for work inside the City of Peoria.
