Chimney Cap Installation
Stainless steel chimney caps prevent water intrusion, animal entry, and fire hazards while improving draft efficiency. Our custom-fitted caps address regional weather challenges, reducing maintenance needs by 60% over standard models. Each installation includes material warranties and performance guarantees.
Liner Installation & Replacement
UL-listed stainless steel liners ensure safe venting of combustion gases while preventing structural damage. We match liner specifications to appliance requirements, addressing sulfuric acid corrosion from modern heating systems. Lifetime warranties apply with annual maintenance compliance.
Masonry Restoration & Repair
Structural masonry repairs address freeze-thaw cycles and water damage using ASTM-compliant materials. Our crown sealing and tuckpointing techniques extend chimney lifespan by 15-20 years, maintaining historical aesthetics while meeting current safety standards.
Chimney Cleaning & Inspection
NFPA-compliant Level 1 inspections identify creosote buildup and structural issues during annual cleanings. We use HEPA-filtered equipment to remove hazardous particulates, reducing fire risk by 85% while maintaining indoor air quality during service.

Questions
Why do I need annual chimney inspections?
Annual inspections identify hidden creosote buildup, structural cracks, and liner damage that could cause fires or carbon monoxide leaks. NFPA standards recommend yearly checks for safety compliance.
What are signs of chimney liner damage?
Visible cracks, excessive creosote accumulation, or sulfur odors indicate potential liner issues. Our technicians use video diagnostics to assess integrity and recommend repairs.
Can masonry repairs be done in winter?
Masonry work requires temperatures above 40°F for proper material curing. We schedule restorations from April through October while offering year-round estimates.
How do chimney caps prevent fires?
Caps block sparks from escaping while preventing debris accumulation that fuels chimney fires. Our stainless steel models reduce fire risk by 70% compared to uncapped chimneys.
What payment methods do you accept?
We accept cash, checks, and credit/debit cards with 4.5% processing fee for electronic payments. Major projects require 50% deposits before material ordering.

In 2015 John fixed our leaking central chimney by applying a water sealer (Chimney Saver). It worked! Two years later, in 2017, I noticed another.
