A family business, not a franchise.
My grandfather began cleaning chimneys in Chicago with a truck, a set of rods, and a commitment to leave every hearth better than he found it. We still hold to that standard.
When you call, you reach our family, not an answering service, and the technician who arrives is someone we trained personally. Our reputation rides on every job.

“Discovered a cracked flue tile that the previous crew overlooked, showed me the images, and laid out my options with zero pressure.”
“They draped everything from the front entrance to the hearth. You would never guess anyone had been there working on the chimney.”
“The technician went through every image in the report and told me honestly what could hold off until spring.”

Not on the list? Call (872) 366-9740 — we might still cover your area.
We run a camera through the flue liner, examine the crown, cap, flashing, damper, and firebox, and hand you a written report with photographs.
Late summer or early fall is ideal. The schedule fills up fast after the first chilly evening, so booking by September keeps you ahead.
Absolutely — wood and pellet stoves get a complete cleaning and safety review, from the stovepipe to the baffle and the door gasket.
We spread drop cloths from the door to the hearth, put on shoe covers, seal off the fireplace opening, and keep a HEPA vacuum running throughout.
A typical sweep runs about an hour. Adding a camera inspection extends the visit by another 30 to 45 minutes.
