Services
Chimney Cleaning
Our chimney cleaning service removes creosote buildup and debris from fireplace chimneys, gas fireplaces, and woodstoves. Using professional-grade equipment, we ensure safe and efficient operation while reducing fire hazards. Regular cleaning prevents costly repairs and maintains indoor air quality for residential properties.
Relining
We replace deteriorated terracotta liners with stainless steel systems to address condensation damage and improper sizing. Our HomeSaver products restore structural integrity and improve efficiency for modern heating systems. This service eliminates safety risks from cracked or leaking chimney liners in older homes.
Masonry Repairs
Our in-house masons perform crown wash repairs, tuckpointing, and waterproofing to address weather-related damage. Services include restoring brickwork, stucco, and concrete elements exposed to freeze-thaw cycles. We provide free estimates during our active season from March to September for long-lasting masonry solutions.
Gas Logs Installation
We install vented, vent-free, and direct-vent gas log systems from RH Peterson and Napoleon brands. This service converts traditional fireplaces into efficient heating solutions while maintaining realistic flame aesthetics. Our installations address safety concerns with damaged woodburning fireplaces through code-compliant gas conversions.
Chimney Inspections
We offer visual safety inspections and Level II camera inspections to identify hidden damage. Our evaluations check for liner breaches, animal intrusion, and structural issues affecting chimney performance. Camera inspections provide detailed diagnostics for flue systems requiring maintenance or repair planning.
