Chimney Cleaning
Professional chimney cleaning removes creosote buildup and debris to enhance safety and efficiency. Our technicians use specialized tools for masonry and factory-built chimneys, ensuring optimal airflow and fire safety. Regular maintenance prevents hazardous blockages while extending system lifespan.
Safety Inspections
Certified chimney inspections identify potential hazards through three assessment levels. Level I covers routine checks, Level II includes real estate transaction evaluations, and Level III provides comprehensive structural analysis. Early detection prevents costly repairs and ensures compliance with safety standards.
Fireplace Installation
Custom fireplace installations combine aesthetic appeal with functional efficiency. Our experts handle gas, wood, and oil systems, prioritizing proper ventilation and safety protocols. We offer design consultations to match homeowner preferences while maximizing heating performance and energy efficiency.
Chimney Repairs
Structural and functional chimney repairs restore system integrity using quality materials. Our technicians address cracks, leaks, and component failures while maintaining safety standards. Preventive maintenance packages help avoid emergency situations through regular system evaluations.
Chimney Waterproofing
Waterproofing treatments protect masonry chimneys from moisture damage. We apply commercial-grade sealants to prevent water intrusion while maintaining proper ventilation. This service extends chimney lifespan by preventing freeze-thaw cycle damage and internal corrosion.

Complete joke. Worst experience hiring a chimney sweep in my life. Guy did a horrible job and made a huge mess. His equipment was straight outta harbor freight and he didn't even get on the roof or clean my ash box. Complete old fool and hack.

I needed a chimney sweep for my wood stove, and these guys delivered. Great service, and very responsive with communication leading up to the job. Not sure why some ash-holes gave this business a 1-star rating. My experience was really great and Ill definitely be choosing this business again for future service.

DO NOT HIRE! This guy removed an integral part of my wood stove, claiming it "wasn't supposed to be there", charged me an extra $250 to remove it (on top of the $250 to clean the chimney), which caused the house to fill with smoke when I tried to have a fire. Cost me even more to fix his screw up. Stay very far away from this guy.

Both Bob and Diana were super friendly, efficient, and safe. Bob wore a mask the entire time, which I appreciate for not only Covid requirements, but for his own lung protection while cleaning a chimney. He used a shop vac to eliminate dust accumulation, and wore hearing protection to save those ears of his. And, the fella spent some time afterwards to show us the accumulation, discuss chimney fires, what to look for with dry wood, and how to store it properly. Super impressed.
