Safe & Warm
Comprehensive chimney services, provided by experts with over 40 years of experience, focused on the warmth and safety of your home and family.
Our promise is simple.
We’re a Dad and a Grandpa from a family full of teachers. We put family first and love to work with people who do the same. We respect that your home is your family’s safe haven. From our tidy uniforms to our conversational style, we work hard to earn your trust so that you can be completely comfortable inviting us inside your home to work.
Respect your home.
You simply won’t find clearer communication than ours. We’ll walk you through every step, from our transparent booking process that allows you to pick an appointment that works for you through a personal follow up to confirm everything is in perfect working order. And, if we’re anywhere short of expentations, we’ll come back and make it right.
Be reliable.
We have decades of training and experience that ensures your chimney is as safe and reliable as we would allow in our own homes. This experience also helps us identify and address potential problems before they become actual problems – saving you time and money, and providing you with peace of mind. We’re also fully insured and use only the most advanced personal protective equipment available to ensure we remain safe at all times, too.
Safety above all.
We’ll leave your home spotless (and dustless, too!). We use dropcloths and booties to ensure your floors leave no evidence we were ever there. All chimney debris and dust is captured by our 3-motor vacuum and state-of-the-art brushes. We’re committed to leaving nothing behind but a warm home and a well-functioning chimney.
Leave things spotless.
How it works.
1.
Chimney Condition Assessment
Every new client relationship begins a 2–3 hour, full-system inspection by certified technicians using advanced camera technology. We assess every component—from firebox to cap—following industry codes to ensure safety, efficiency, and performance. If significant repairs are needed, your assessment fee is credited toward the work.
2.
Tailored Plan
We collaborate with you to design a personalized, code-compliant plan that reflects your goals and priorities. You’ll receive a clear written summary, and we’ll walk through everything together—answering questions and discussing options without pressure.
3.
Repair + Restore
Your dedicated Lead Technician manages your project with expert care—from planning and sourcing materials to final execution. We check in with you at key stages and prioritize clear communication every step of the way, so you feel confident and informed.
4.
Ongoing Maintenance
Annual inspections and sweeps keep your system safe and efficient long-term. We share burning tips, monitor wear, and help you plan ahead—building lasting relationships through proactive care and honest guidance.
