Lining and Chimney Restoration
We use a U.L. listed cast in place masonry or a Flexible stainless steel lining system for Oil, Gas, Propane or wood heating equipment. Chimney lining can increase appliance efficiency, prevent early deterioration of the flue liner. Highly recommended for masonry chimneys that have had a new furnace, boiler or hot water heater installed since 1992.


Chimney Sweeping and Inspections
We use a powerful vacuum that prevents any soot, dust or debris from entering your home atmosphere during our thorough Chimney Cleaning process, actually preventing the soot and dust from leaving the firebox. All of our equipment is designed by sweeps for containing this particular type of debris. We lay clean drop cloths in front of your appliance to protect your flooring and hearth. Brushes are typed and sized to fit your chimney flue's materials and dimensions exactly for the best possible effect on soot removal. Every chimney and appliance serviced receives a  Level 1 inspection of all visible areas. We check for proper clearances (in visible areas) on stoves, smoke pipe, inserts and prefab chimneys.


Closed Circuit Internal Chimney and Venting System Evaluations
In a Level 2 chimney inspection, we may use our color closed circuit video camera to provide you with visual documentation of the inside of your chimney flue. This camera can find any damage, deterioration, and cracks, missing mortar joints, broken tiles, blockage or any other problem area in your flue. We can provide you and/or your Insurer with a written report with pictures for any Insurance requirements or claims.   


Gas Appliances for Fireplaces in Historic Homes
Many historic homes feature small fireplaces that are shallow in depth, narrow in width, and vent to unlined chimneys. We offer a large variety of gas coal effect fires that are perfect for use in these historic homes. We are historic restoration specialists and can help you choose the perfect appliance for your home, design its venting system and perform the complete installation for you.


If you need greater heating efficiency or have venting design challenges, call on us to help repair or design your fireplace system for optimum performance.  We also install a huge variety of mantels in wood, marble and cast iron.  See them all!
