Services
Chimney Inspection
Our CSIA-certified technicians perform Level 1 and Level 2 chimney inspections using video scanning technology and thermal imaging. We document findings with photographic evidence and provide same-day digital reports. Regular inspections prevent creosote buildup, carbon monoxide risks, and structural deterioration caused by Portland's wet climate.
Chimney Repair
We address chimney issues including brick repointing, crown repair, flue relining, and waterproofing. Our team handles minor fixes and major restorations using materials matched to original construction. Repairs meet NFPA 211 standards and include warranties for long-term durability in Oregon's weather conditions.
Masonry Services
Our skilled masons specialize in brick, stone, and concrete work for chimneys, fireplaces, and outdoor structures. Services include tuckpointing, historic restoration, and waterproofing. We use breathable sealants that protect against freeze-thaw cycles while preserving structural integrity and aesthetic value.
Chimney Cleaning
Professional chimney cleaning removes creosote buildup and debris using HEPA-filtered vacuums and industrial brushes. Our CSIA-certified sweeps follow NFPA standards to prevent fire hazards. We include a complete system check of dampers, caps, and liners during every cleaning service for optimal safety.
Historic Restoration
We restore historic chimneys using period-appropriate materials and traditional techniques. Our team matches original brick/stone textures and mortar compositions while updating systems to meet modern safety codes. Services include structural reinforcement and compliance with historic district requirements in Portland's older neighborhoods.

Questions

Storm damage or sudden events may be covered, but gradual deterioration from lack of maintenance typically isn't. Documentation of damage timing helps with insurance claims.
What are signs my chimney needs repair?
Look for water stains, white efflorescence, cracked bricks, smoke backdrafting, or rust on dampers. These indicate potential structural issues requiring professional assessment.

Yes, we provide free estimates for all chimney inspections, cleaning, and repair services with no obligation for Portland Metro area customers.
