Chimney Cleaning
Our chimney cleaning process includes protective drop cloths, flue sweeping, smoke chamber cleaning, and firebox preparation. A visual inspection follows to identify imperfections per Chimney Safety Institute guidelines. Annual cleaning is recommended by the National Fire Protection Association to ensure safety and efficiency.
Chimney Relining
We install HomeSaver stainless steel liners for fireplaces, furnace flues, and wood stoves. Relining restores proper venting, improves safety, and extends chimney lifespan. Our solutions meet industry standards for performance and durability in residential and commercial applications.
Masonry Repair
We repair chimney crowns, reset loose bricks, and perform pointing work. Firebox restoration services address structural issues caused by wear or weather damage. Our masonry waterproofing protects against water penetration to maintain structural integrity and prevent costly repairs.
Wood Stove Installation
We provide professional wood stove installation and repair services. Our team ensures proper venting, safety clearances, and compliance with local building codes. We also clean and maintain existing wood-burning systems to optimize performance and safety.
Gutter Cleaning
Our gutter service includes debris removal, downspout clearing, and area cleanup. We use bagging, blowing, and washing techniques to ensure proper water drainage. Regular maintenance prevents water damage to roofs, foundations, and exterior walls.

Report
100% Recommend. We needed our home and two rental house chimneys cleaned. After hiring a different chimney sweep company and not being satisfied, we called Marcel who was recommended by a home builder friend. I was beyond impressed by his honesty, quality of work and knowledge. I am a second generation brick mason with over 30 years of experience building fireplaces.
