Services
Chimney Inspections
Our certified technicians perform comprehensive chimney evaluations to identify structural issues, creosote buildup, and safety hazards. Using advanced diagnostic tools, we assess compliance with NFPA-211 standards and provide detailed reports with repair recommendations. Regular inspections help prevent fire hazards and maintain system efficiency.
Chimney Repairs
We address cracks, leaks, and deterioration in brickwork and chimney crowns using durable materials that match original construction. Services include tuckpointing, crown resurfacing, and flashing repairs to restore structural integrity and prevent water damage while maintaining aesthetic consistency with your home's exterior.
Fireplace Installation
Our team installs wood-burning, gas, and electric fireplaces meeting all local building codes. We handle venting systems, hearth construction, and chimney connections for new builds or renovations. Each installation includes safety testing and customer education on proper usage and maintenance protocols.
Chimney Sweeping
Using professional-grade equipment, we remove creosote deposits and debris from chimney flues to prevent fire risks. Our cleaning process includes inspection of internal components and smoke chamber smoothing to improve airflow efficiency and ensure safe operation of heating appliances.
Chimney Lining
We install stainless steel and aluminum liners for damaged chimneys, ensuring proper venting of combustion gases. This service improves safety by preventing heat transfer to combustible materials and enhances appliance efficiency through properly sized flue dimensions.
