What affects the price

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.

Since most people avoid thinking about heat, scheduling your repairs or upgrades now helps you avoid the autumn rush. You can get your fireplace serviced comfortably while your system is idle, ensuring everything is in top shape for when the first chill arrives.
