Services
Chimney Cleaning
Professional chimney cleaning removes flammable creosote buildup that poses fire hazards while improving system efficiency. Our technicians use HEPA-filtered equipment to eliminate dust and debris without contaminating living spaces. Regular maintenance prevents dangerous blockages and ensures proper ventilation for wood-burning appliances.
Masonry Repair
We specialize in masonry repair addressing cracked mortar joints, spalled bricks, and structural damage caused by freeze-thaw cycles. Our tuckpointing restores structural integrity while matching existing mortar composition. Severe cases receive partial or complete chimney rebuilding using weather-resistant materials suited for New England climates.
Chimney Inspection
Comprehensive chimney inspections identify safety hazards and maintenance needs through visual assessment and diagnostic tools. We examine flue liners, mortar joints, and chimney caps while checking for water intrusion signs. Our Level 1 and Level 2 inspections follow NFPA standards for annual maintenance and real estate transactions.
Fireplace Restoration
Our fireplace restoration services address damaged fireboxes, cracked hearths, and inefficient venting systems. We rebuild deteriorated structures while preserving historic elements in older homes. The process includes firebox refractory panel replacement and damper mechanism repairs to restore safe, efficient fireplace operation.
Emergency Service
Available for sudden chimney failures like storm damage, structural collapses, or dangerous gas leaks. Our rapid response team addresses immediate safety concerns while planning permanent solutions. Emergency services include temporary waterproofing, debris removal, and urgent structural stabilization for compromised chimney systems.

Friendly and took good photos of chimney areas that need work. The cleaning was quick, did not seem thorough - no before/after photo comparison provided. Was a bit pricey. A small amount of soot escaped into living room.
