Services
Chimney Cleaning
Our professional chimney cleaning services ensure safe and efficient fireplace operation by removing soot, debris, and creosote buildup. Using state-of-the-art rotary power sweeping systems, we maintain flue liner integrity while preventing dangerous blockages. Our technicians identify potential issues during cleaning to help homeowners avoid costly repairs through proactive maintenance.
Chimney Inspection
We offer Level 1 visual inspections and Level 2 camera inspections for comprehensive chimney assessments. Our certified technicians examine structural integrity, flue condition, and water damage indicators to ensure compliance with safety standards. Camera inspections provide real-time visual documentation of hard-to-reach areas for accurate diagnosis of internal chimney issues.
Tuckpointing
Our tuckpointing service restores chimney durability by replacing deteriorated mortar between bricks. This structural repair prevents water infiltration and extends chimney lifespan while maintaining aesthetic consistency with existing masonry. We match mortar composition to original construction specifications for seamless integration with your chimney's appearance.
Crown Sealing
Crown sealing addresses cracks in chimney concrete tops using specialized stretchable mortar compounds. This preventive treatment maintains structural integrity by stopping water penetration through hairline fractures that develop during freeze-thaw cycles. The breathable sealant allows moisture escape while preventing external water intrusion.
Brick Rebuild
Our brick rebuild service addresses severe masonry damage through partial or complete chimney reconstruction. Skilled bricklayers replace damaged sections while matching existing brick patterns and colors. We perform full rebuilds from roof level upward when structural integrity is compromised, using quality materials to restore chimney safety and appearance.

Questions
How often should chimneys be cleaned?
The NFPA recommends annual cleaning or after burning one cord of wood. Sticky woods may require more frequent service.

Level 1 is visual; Level 2 uses camera inspection for masonry chimneys. Level 2 provides internal flue visualization.
Do you offer free estimates?
We provide free exterior chimney estimates for brick and flashing issues with no obligation.
Why install a chimney cap?
Caps prevent water intrusion, animal entry, and sparks. They protect against debris blockages and improve overall chimney safety.
