Chimney Liner Replacement
Chimney liners are critical for safely venting combustion gases. We install durable stainless steel liners that comply with NFPA 211 standards. Our systems prevent carbon monoxide leaks and heat transfer hazards, using UL Listed materials for lasting performance. This service enhances safety and extends chimney lifespan.
Stove Installation
We professionally install wood, pellet, and gas stoves from top brands like Harman and Jotul. Our process ensures proper venting, clearance, and safety compliance. Clients receive guidance on optimal stove placement and maintenance for efficient heating and code adherence.
Chimney Inspection
Annual inspections identify structural issues, creosote buildup, and safety risks. Using industry standards, we assess liner integrity, clearances, and functionality. Early detection prevents costly repairs and ensures compliance with insurance requirements.
Chimney Cleaning
Regular cleaning removes soot, creosote, and debris that pose fire hazards. Our technicians use advanced tools to clean masonry and factory-built fireplaces. This service maintains efficiency and aligns with CSIA-recommended cleaning thresholds.

We repair damaged fireplaces, including firebricks, gaskets, and hearths. Addressing cracks and wear prevents unsafe operation. Our work restores functionality and aesthetics, ensuring compliance with safety codes and manufacturer guidelines.

My first instinct here was to give 1 star, But, I'm giving 2 because Josh was absolutely wonderful to work with. The owner, however, made this experience quite unbearable. He basically refused to communicate with me, the homeowner, because I am a woman. He actually said to me that he preferred to speak with my boyfriend, man to man.... All communication from the owner bypassed me and went directly to my boyfriend via text message. Josh, on the other hand, communicated directly with me for everything. The work that was done looks very nice, but I do feel that they were substantially over priced

This is a wonderful family business. We've been their client for 15 years now and have zero complaints. Their staff is polite and talented. They never leave behind a mess. It can take a day or so for them to return a message, which is fine to me. I definitely recommend them
