Old furnace chimneys before removal

Chimneys Be Gone

Posted on March 13, 2020October 12, 2025 By stega

After the old diesel furnaces were removed from service, we still had two chimney stacks sticking out of the south wing roof. Since Armstrong (who handled the foam roofs of the great room, linen hallway/foyer and studio) doesn’t do shingles, I made yet more cold calls to find a roofer to do some patching. My search led me to both Anderson and O’Neal Roofing. I got quotes from both, but O’Neal was able to do the job quickly, so I went with them (Anderson did another project for us last summer, but as always, more on that later).

A couple of guys from O’Neal arrived the first week of June 2018 and got to work. Out came the old chimney pipes, in went some patch boards, and since the roof shingle color we have is discontinued, they shifted things around a bit so that you don’t see the patch work from down below thanks to a nearby tree.
