Ranch outbuildings, shop stoves and flues that were assembled rather than built.
Regular routes, no travel surcharge, and a firm price before anything starts.
Get a Free QuoteDeer Lodge relining looks different again, because a fair share of the appliances we are asked about are not in houses. They are in shops, barns, tack rooms and converted outbuildings.
The pattern is familiar to anyone who has spent time on a working place: a stove appears in the shop because the shop is cold, and the flue is put together from what was available - single-wall stove pipe run further than it should be, a length of the wrong diameter joined to another, a penetration through a metal wall packed rather than fitted with a listed thimble.
None of that is stupidity. It is a stove in a building nobody planned to heat, solved with the materials in the yard. But single-wall pipe is not chimney, it loses heat fast, and a cold pipe running horizontally is the most efficient creosote factory we encounter.

More on how we do this work on the Chimney Relining page, or see everything we cover in Deer Lodge.
Frequently it does not mean lining at all, and that is the honest version of this page. A shop stove with no masonry chimney does not need a liner - it needs a listed class-A system correctly assembled, and that is usually cheaper than people fear.
Where there is old masonry, particularly on the ranch houses in this valley that predate the town's growth, lining is the right answer and the same arguments apply as in Butte: an unlined or tile-cracked flue built for a range, now carrying a modern airtight stove.
The reason we treat these as one page is that the diagnosis is identical - measure what is actually there, work out what the appliance in front of it needs, and price the gap. The reason we say the outbuilding version plainly is that we would rather sell a correctly built class-A run than talk somebody into a liner they do not have a chimney for.
One practical note for this end of the valley: we route out here on set days rather than daily, so there is no travel surcharge but there is a wait. Booking alongside a sweep on the same visit is the efficient way to do it.
Give us the basics and we'll come back with a firm price, usually the same day.
