Our Chimney & Fireplace Services
From keeping your system safe to reimagining what your fireplace can look like, here’s how we help:
Chimney Sweep & Cleaning
Regular sweeps clear away the soot and creosote buildup that can lead to chimney fires and poor ventilation, so your fireplace stays safe to use all season. Every sweep is performed and reviewed by a certified chimney consultant.
Chimney Inspections
A thorough inspection catches small issues, cracks, blockages, ventilation problems, before they turn into costly repairs. Our CSIA-certified consultants also handle inspections for home sales and real estate transactions, so buyers and sellers know exactly what they're dealing with before closing.
Tuck Pointing
Mortar is what keeps brick, block, and stone tightly bound. Worn or crumbling mortar joints let water and pests in and weaken your chimney over time. Tuckpointing restores the structure and keeps water and pests out.
Chimney Relining
Leaks, odors, and drafting problems often trace back to a damaged or outdated liner. A new liner protects your home and restores performance and if you're upgrading to a high-efficiency furnace or water heater, we bring your venting into code compliance as part of the job.
Chimney Rebuilds
Whether your chimney needs a partial rebuild or a full reconstruction, our masons restore it to safe, lasting working condition.
Custom Chimney Caps
A properly fitted chimney cap keeps out rain, debris, and animals while improving airflow, and we can build one custom to your chimney.
Masonry Repair
Our experienced masons repair and restore chimneys, home exteriors, and other brick surfaces, carefully matching existing materials so the repair blends in, not stands out.
Fireplace Conversions
Upgrade from wood-burning to a gas or electric system for more convenience, easier maintenance, and better everyday performance, often while keeping your existing surround and mantle. A gas fireplace can also lower your heating bills and add to your home's value.
Chimney Design
Ready to transform your fireplace into the focal point of the room? Our design team guides you through materials, layout, and installation from start to finish.
Fireplace Repair
Cracked masonry and missing mortar ruin the appearance of your fireplace. From minor fixes to major rebuilds, we get your fireplace back to safe, reliable working condition.
Dryer Vent Cleaning
Lint buildup in dryer vents is one of the most common and preventable house fire risks, and it slows your dryer down long before it becomes dangerous. We clear the vent to help your dryer run safely and efficiently.
Outdoor Fireplaces & Firepits
Extend your living space outdoors with a custom fireplace, firepit, or patio built to last.
