Chimney Services

The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) recommends that chimneys, fireplaces, and vents be inspected at least once a year and cleaned as needed to prevent fire hazards and ensure safe operation.

Chimney leaks are often caused by damaged flashing, a cracked chimney crown, or missing mortar joints. We offer waterproofing, flashing repair, and crown sealing to prevent water intrusion.

Creosote is a highly flammable byproduct of burning wood that can accumulate inside your chimney. If not removed, it can cause dangerous chimney fires. Regular cleanings help prevent creosote buildup.

It is not recommended. A chimney inspection ensures there are no blockages, structural issues, or fire hazards that could put your home at risk.

A chimney liner protects your home by directing smoke and gases safely outside. If your chimney doesn’t have a liner or has a damaged one, we recommend installing or replacing it for safety and efficiency.

Installing a chimney cap with mesh screening helps keep birds, squirrels, and other small animals out while still allowing smoke to escape properly.

To improve efficiency, use dry, seasoned firewood, keep your chimney clean, install a top-sealing damper, and consider a fireplace insert to retain more heat inside your home.

Fireplace Services

The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) recommends annual inspections to ensure safety, proper ventilation, and efficient operation.

Unpleasant odors are usually caused by creosote buildup, moisture, or animal intrusion. A professional chimney cleaning and proper ventilation can help eliminate odors.

Signs include smoke backing up into the home, cracks in the firebox or chimney, difficulty starting fires, excessive soot buildup, and a lingering smoky smell.

Yes! Converting a wood-burning fireplace to gas is possible with a gas insert or gas logs. We can assess your fireplace and provide recommendations for a safe and efficient conversion.

This can be caused by a blocked chimney, a closed or damaged damper, negative air pressure in your home, or an improperly sized flue. A professional inspection can diagnose and resolve the issue.

Use dry, seasoned hardwoods like oak, maple, or hickory for cleaner burns with less creosote buildup. Avoid softwoods like pine, as they produce more soot and residue.

Masonry Services

We provide brick and stone repair, tuckpointing, chimney rebuilding, mortar joint restoration, and waterproofing to help maintain the strength and appearance of your masonry structures.

Signs that your masonry needs repair include cracked or crumbling mortar, loose or missing bricks, water leaks, and discoloration from moisture damage.

Tuckpointing is the process of removing deteriorated mortar joints and replacing them with fresh mortar to restore structural integrity, prevent water damage, and improve the appearance of your brickwork.

Yes! We carefully match the color and texture of your existing brick and mortar to ensure seamless repairs that blend with your home’s original design.
