From the family

A family trade, not a chain operation

Dear neighbor,

My grandfather began cleaning chimneys across Chicago with a truck, a set of brushes, and a commitment to leave every hearth in better shape than he found it. That is still how we operate.

When you call, you speak to our family, not an answering service, and the technician who shows up at your door is someone we trained from the ground up. Our name backs every job.

David R. — inspection before buying a house
“The technician went through every photo in the report and told me honestly what could hold off until spring.”

QuestionsQuestions homeowners ask us most
Q.1How frequently should a chimney be swept?

Once a year for most households that burn wood on a regular basis. If you go through more than a cord per season or notice dark flakes in the firebox, schedule a sweep earlier.

Q.2How much time does a visit take?

A typical sweep runs about an hour. Adding a camera-based inspection tacks on another 30 to 45 minutes.

Q.3What is covered in an inspection?

We run a camera through the flue liner, examine the crown, cap, flashing, damper, and firebox, and hand you a written report with photographs.

Q.4How do you protect my home during the work?

We spread drop cloths from the door to the hearth, wear shoe covers, seal the firebox opening, and keep a HEPA vacuum running the entire time.

Q.5Do you service wood stoves as well?

Yes — wood and pellet stoves receive a complete cleaning and safety review, from the stovepipe down to the baffle and door gasket.
