Chimney Cleaning
Professional chimney cleaning removes dangerous creosote buildup using industrial-grade vacuums and rotational cleaning tools. Our CSIA-certified technicians perform thorough inspections with mirrors and CHIM-scan cameras to identify hidden hazards. Regular maintenance prevents chimney fires and ensures proper airflow for safe fireplace operation.
Masonry Repair
We specialize in masonry chimney repairs including tuckpointing, crown replacements, and structural rebuilding. Our experts address cracked mortar joints and water damage using cultured stone and original materials. Services restore structural integrity while maintaining aesthetic appeal for brick and stone chimneys.
Wood Stove Installation
Certified installation of Blaze King and Pacific Energy wood stoves ensures code compliance and optimal efficiency. Our team handles permitting, venting, and chimney relining while providing safety training. Modern stoves reduce creosote production and improve heating efficiency compared to older models.
Chimney Inspection
Comprehensive chimney inspections identify structural issues, blockages, and fire hazards. We use video scanning technology to examine internal components and provide detailed condition reports. Annual inspections meet insurance requirements and prevent costly emergency repairs.

We've had A-1 Chimney Sweep come out and maintain and inspect our chimney for the past 4 years. We just had another outstanding service by Tim. He called ahead, showed up on time, and completed the job in a timely manner while respecting my home. Thank you!

The A-1 crew came out today to remove my old chimney and they did an amazing job! They worked hard and we're very polite. Tearing down a chimney can be a messy job but they were very clean about it and when they left I couldn't even tell they were here. I would highly recommend them to anyone.

Kyle and Ty were excellent! Our chimneys were in a really poor state. Just about to fall down on our heads! A1 rooftop came in with a competitive bid and ultimately repaired our rooftop quickly and within budget. Kyle and Ty were knowledgeable, efficient and provided us with a sense of security in our chimneys.

A-1 Rooftop Chimney Sweep team is highly recommended, as from the initial pleasant phone contact with customer service person named Janice, to the extremely knowledgeable and polite tech named Tim, we couldn't be happier with their outstanding service! While A-1 was able to get out and get our Blaze King Woodstove back up and operational, other businesses either never returned our calls or had an extensive waiting periods from 6-12 weeks, which was unsatisfactory when our woodstove is needed during the wintertime with snow on the ground. Give A-1 a call. you will be pleasantly surprised by how efficient they are at what they do, and they do it well!
