What affects the price

You also have to think about venting requirements, the type of chimney lining needed, and the finish materials like stone or brick veneer. If your home needs structural modifications to meet current safety codes, that will add to the labor hours. We look at your specific setup to provide a clear path forward.

About this service
The process of burning wood requires a balance of oxygen and proper venting. When wood burns, it releases gases that must be carried up the chimney safely. If your fireplace isn't maintained, those gases can cool and solidify into creosote, a flammable substance. To keep burning safely, you need a clear, unobstructed flue and a fireplace that draws well. If you struggle with smoke coming back into the room, it is time to have your system inspected and cleaned.
