From the family

A family tradition, not a franchise operation

Dear neighbor,

My grandfather began sweeping chimneys in Washington with a single truck, a set of rods, and a commitment to leave every hearth in better shape than he found it. That is still how we operate.

When you call, you speak with our family, not a dispatch center, and the technician who shows up is someone we trained in person. Our reputation rides on every job.

Words from our neighbors

“Squirrels had moved into our chimney months ago. The cap was installed the same week I reached out.”
Linda K. — cap installation
“The technician explained every photograph in the report and was upfront about what could wait until warmer weather.”
Paul H. — full chimney inspection
“They laid coverings from the front door all the way to the fireplace. You would never guess someone had just cleaned the chimney.”
Sarah M. — yearly sweep and inspection

QuestionsQuestions homeowners ask us most
Q.1What is included in an inspection?

We run a camera through the flue liner, examine the crown, cap, flashing, damper, and firebox, and hand you a written report with photographs.

Q.2How frequently should a chimney be swept?

Once a year for most households that burn wood on a regular basis. If you go through more than a cord per season or notice dark flakes in the firebox, schedule a sweep sooner.

Q.3When should I schedule before the cold season?

Late summer or early fall is best. The calendar fills up fast after the first chilly evening, so booking by September keeps you ahead.

Q.4How do you protect my home while you work?

We spread drop cloths from the door to the hearth, wear shoe covers, seal the firebox opening, and keep a HEPA vacuum running throughout.

Q.5Do you service wood stoves as well?

Yes — wood and pellet stoves receive a complete cleaning and safety review, from the stovepipe through the baffle and the door gasket.

Our location

Before the season turns

Clean the flue before lighting the fire.

Late summer and early fall fill up quickly. Secure your window before the cold arrives.
