Services
Chimney Cleaning
Our chimney cleaning service removes creosote, soot, and debris to prevent fire hazards and ensure safe venting. We inspect flues for blockages, clean dampers and crowns, and provide maintenance tips. Regular cleanings improve efficiency, reduce carbon monoxide risks, and extend chimney lifespan. We service oil, wood, gas, and pellet flues.
Chimney Inspection
We perform thorough visual and camera inspections to identify cracks, leaks, or damage. Our annual inspections meet NFPA standards, ensuring compliance and insurance coverage. We assess liners, masonry, and venting systems, offering repair recommendations to maintain safety and efficiency for all fuel types.
Chimney Relining
We install stainless steel or ceramic liners to restore damaged chimneys. Stainless steel systems offer durability with lifetime warranties, while ceramic coatings seal cracks and improve draft. Relining prevents heat transfer to combustibles, reduces corrosion, and ensures safe venting for wood, gas, or oil appliances.
Chimney Repair
Our repair services address leaks, masonry damage, and structural issues. We replace bricks, repoint mortar, fix flashing, and install water repellents. We handle tuckpointing, crown repairs, and draft troubleshooting to restore functionality and curb appeal while preventing water infiltration.
Class A Installation
We install Class A chimneys for wood stoves, fireplaces, and heating appliances. These stainless steel systems meet safety codes, withstand high heat, and prevent fire risks. Proper installation ensures efficient venting of combustion gases, compliance with building regulations, and long-term reliability for residential properties.

Sent an email outlining an issue I'm having with my fireplace two weeks ago. I'm still waiting for a reply. With a response like this why would I consider then for anything?
