( If additional chimneys need cleaned there will only be a $75.00 fee / Free Inspection will be performed if cleaning is not needed on additional fireplaces.)
Does it need cleaned? National Fire Code 211 requires an annual safety inspection of all chimney systems. Here's why: In a wood burning system, incomplete combustion results in unburned residue which rises in the chimney as part of the smoke. This residue is deposited on the inside of the chimney walls, presenting a major fire hazard.
Gas and oil flues should also be checked on an annual basis for any soot deposits or debris blockage which could lead to dangerous carbon monoxide poisoning. A chimney professional can clean the inside of your chimney to eliminate theese dangers.
Raincaps
( Price includes installation)
(Stainless Steel shown)
- Black Galvanized - $105.00 (3yr warranty against rust)
- Stainless Steel - $150.00(lifetime warranty against rust)
- Copper - $240.00 (lifetime warranty)
Rain can damage metal fireboxes and dampers. It can also erode mortar joints, causing the chimney to weaken. For rain protection, a top-quality
chimney cap is the solution. A stainless steel and copper model gives lifetime protection from moisture damage.
(Prices may be slightly higher depending on roof access)
Dryer Vent Cleaning - $120.00 -$170.00
(blockages are slightly higher)

Having your dryer vent system cleaned and inspected yearly by a dryer vent cleaning professional can help prevent fires and save you money in decreased energy costs. There were 15,500 dryer vent fires last year.[according to the Consumer Products Safety Commission] and the number continues to rise. Why? Because most people don't know their dryer vents need to be cleaned. They clean out the lint filter and think that's it. In reality, the dryer vent duct is where lint really can build up and get clogged. Lint is highly flammable. It accounts for most dryer vent fires.

Duct Cleaning $250 - $700
You should consider having the air ducts in your home cleaned if:
 |
There is substantial visible mold growth inside hard surface (e.g., sheet metal) ducts or on other components of your
heating and cooling system.
|
Ducts are infested with vermin, e.g. (rodents or insects); or
|
|
Ducts are clogged with excessive amounts of dust and debris and/or particles are actually released into the home
from your supply registers.
|
|
These services typically -- but not always -- range in cost from $450 to $1,000 per heating and cooling system, depending on the services
offered, the size of the system to be cleaned, system accessibility, climatic region, and level of contamination.
|
Do not hire duct cleaners who make sweeping claims about the health benefits of duct cleaning --
such claims are unsubstantiated.

5 years and have a chimney professional inspect the bricks.
Crown Repair - $110 - $200 per flue
Deteriorated crowns cause chimney damage. A crown is a masonry roof that covers the top of the chimney. Its purpose is to prevent water from seeping through the chimney. When the crown fails, the entire chimney system is susceptible to damage. Which will cause costly repairs or eventually result in chimney needing to be rebuilt.

Does it need waterproofing? Waterproofing is the best preventive maintenance you can give the exterior of your chimney or bricks against premature aging and expensive repairs.
Masonry repairs - (Free Estimates)
We offers a wide range of masonry services including: bricklaying, tuckpointing, crown repair, firebox repair, smoke chamber renovation with Chamber Tech, and flashing repairs. We are able to execute almost any type of masonry work for any home needs.Loose bricks and deterioration can be symptomatic of a major problem. Minor repairs done early will save huge repair bills later.
This process includes grinding out all missing or weakened joints and filling them with "Propoint", a specialized tuckpointing material. We will attempt to match both the color and the shape of the existing joints, but we cannot guarantee an exact match. Tuckpointing carries a one year warranty against deterioration in the areas worked on, if waterproofed shortly after the repairs are done. We highly recommend having us waterproof with CHIMSAVER at least the areas worked on after the repairs are done. Leaking chimney's are a problem to diagnose and are no guarantee on problem being fixed,we will try to identify and correct problem.
If you have loose or damaged bricks in the back or sides of your firebox, we will remove and replace them with new bricks, using refractory bricks and mortar. We will also grind out remaining deteriorated joints and tuckpoint them with refractory mortar. We warranty our interior bricklaying for 5 YEARS and our tuckpointing for 1 YEAR
Contrary to popular belief, bricks and mortar are not naturally "waterproof". A driving wind will move water through even healthy bricks and mortar. Moisture is a common starting place for masonry deterioration and can cause more costly chimney problems. The best way to keep new masonry at its best is to use an appropriate waterproofing material, such as Chimsaver
We will remove existing creosote and loose masonry from the Smoke Chamber (area just above damper) and coat the walls of the chamber with approximately 1 inch of a fireproof, insulating masonry material called "CHAMBER TECH". This protective coating will fill voids between bricks, fill cracks and holes within bricks, insulate the chamber for heating efficiency and safety, leave a smooth surface for more efficient flow of smoke and gasses, and provide increased structural strength for the entire chimney structure. The warranty for this process is 5 YEARS, guaranteeing that the coating will stay intact and solidly in place.
FIREPLACE RELINING- (Free Estimates)
The National Fire Protection Agency states: "If the flue liner has softened, cracked, or otherwise deteriorated so that it no longer has the continued ability to contain the products of combustion, it shall be either removed and replaced, repaired, or relined with a listed liner system..." (NFPA 211, Sect. 10-9) (We will beat any price by $200) Free Estimate
The purpose of a chimney liner is to contain the byproducts of combustion (heat, moisture, creosote, carbon monoxide, and other dangerous elements) until they are discharged from your chimney. A cracked liner or a liner with missing mortar between the joints from the chimney. A cracked liner or a liner with missing mortar between the joints cannot perform its intended function. Woodstove insert need to contain a chimney liner in order to pass NFPA211 guidelines.
