Our Chimney and Fireplace Services
Your chimney works hard and rarely complains until something goes wrong. We inspect, sweep, repair, and rebuild chimneys across the DMV, and we give you a straight answer about what yours actually needs. Got a big quote from another company? Bring it to us. That's what a second opinion is for.
Creosote is the sticky, flammable residue every wood fire leaves behind, and it builds up quietly inside your flue. We sweep it out, then inspect the liner, damper, smoke chamber, and crown, and we take photos so you see exactly what we see. If everything checks out, we'll tell you. No hard sell, ever.
Cracked crowns, failing flashing, a ceiling stain that grows after every storm. We trace the problem to its source and fix what's broken, not everything around it. Repairs range from resealing a crown in an afternoon to rebuilding from the roofline up, and you'll know which one you need before any work begins.
The liner is the part of your chimney you never see, and the part that matters most. A cracked clay tile or a corroded liner can let heat and carbon monoxide go where they shouldn't. We install stainless steel liners fitted to your fireplace, stove, or furnace, so the whole system vents the way it was designed to.
A rusted chase cover is one of the most common causes of chimney leaks we see, and one of the easiest to fix. We replace chase covers and install caps that keep out rain, leaves, and the raccoons who think your flue looks like a great apartment. One home or an entire condo community, we've done both.
Brick and mortar rarely fail all at once. Water slips into one joint, freezes, expands, and a hairline crack becomes a loose brick. We repoint mortar, replace damaged brick, and rebuild stonework on chimneys, walls, steps, and patios, matching color and texture so the repair blends in instead of standing out.
Wood or gas, your fireplace should be the coziest spot in the house, not something you worry about. We inspect the firebox, damper, and flue, replace worn dampers and cracked firebrick, and handle new fireplace and stove installations from start to finish. You'll get a clear summary of what we found and what, if anything, needs attention.
If your towels need two cycles to dry, your dryer vent is trying to tell you something. Lint buildup chokes airflow, wastes energy, and is the leading cause of dryer fires. We clear the full vent run from the dryer to the outside wall, repair crushed or disconnected ducts, and confirm the air is moving the way it should.
Years of soot, algae, and grime can make a well-built home look tired. We power wash chimneys, siding, walkways, and driveways at the right pressure for each surface, so masonry gets clean without getting damaged. It's often the quickest way to make a property look cared for again.
