Chimney Cleaning
Our CSIA-certified technicians perform thorough chimney cleaning using professional-grade equipment to remove soot, creosote, and debris buildup. We employ high-efficiency dust vacuums and video inspection technology to ensure complete system clearance while protecting your home's cleanliness. Regular maintenance prevents fire hazards and maintains optimal chimney performance for wood, gas, and oil-burning systems.
Fireplace Installation
We design and install custom fireplace solutions featuring premium wood, gas, and electric fireplace units from leading manufacturers. Our team handles complete installations including venting systems, mantel surrounds, and stone facades. We offer in-home consultations and use our Firebuilder design tool to help customers visualize their new fireplace before installation.
Chimney Relining
We specialize in chimney relining using UL-listed HomeSaver stainless steel systems to address damaged clay tile liners. Our technicians assess existing chimney conditions and install durable relining solutions that prevent carbon monoxide leakage while meeting NFPA 211 code requirements. This critical safety service protects homes from fire hazards and structural damage.
Gas Fireplace Services
Our certified technicians provide comprehensive gas fireplace services including installation, maintenance, and performance optimization. We handle direct vent systems, gas log installations, and annual safety inspections. With specialized knowledge of gas line requirements and venting systems, we ensure safe, efficient operation of all gas fireplace models.
Waterproofing
We apply ChimneySaver water repellent to protect masonry chimneys from water damage. This treatment creates a 99.9% water-resistant barrier while allowing vapor escape. Our waterproofing service includes crown and chase cover repairs to prevent moisture intrusion that causes structural deterioration and costly repairs.
