Our first job is to hear you, to learn about the problems you are seeking to address and to come up with the most viable and workable solutions for your situation. We know how to ask the right questions to determine what you really want.

We bring significant experience to bear at this point in the project. When addressing a heating or fireplace issue, we do a needs assessment with you to assure that we know your priorities. Only then can we discuss your options. We make recommendations, but recognize that this is your home; we let you lead the way.

Together, we design a heating or fireplace solution specific to your home and your situation (be it an office, studio, second heat source, refurbished fireplace, hearth etc.)

Sometimes, the chimney is the most overlooked appliance in the home. We offer several services to help maintain your chimney and keep your home safe. Chimney fires and unsafe indoor air quality conditions can be avoided through a program of regular maintenance.

Your chimney should be cleaned and inspected every 1 to 2 years. If you have a prefab system, we recommend an inspection every year. Your safety and ability to enjoy your hearth depend on a safe, reliable chimney and fireplace.

 

Our chimney services include:

1. Inspections:
    All of our chimney cleaning services include a general inspection of your hearth and chimney.
   General Inspection:
    We look at the chimney top and surrounding roof. We check out the fireplace or appliance and the related areas. We document with digital camera and provide a report.
   Internal video Inspections:
    Internal video can best assess damaged or questionable chimneys. Our special camera travels up and down the chimney and provides detailed images of the chimney lining and the joints. We provide a DVD copy of the scan along with our assessment and recommendations.


2. Troubleshooting/consulting

    This involves defining goals for the fireplace, hearth and chimney and then planning the fireplace project. We can troubleshoot common draft issues, performance problems and water leaks and provide estimates and solutions for fixing these problems with your hearth.
     


3. Maintenance and Cleaning:

    We service most any wood burning fireplace, or hearth appliance (wood, gas, and pellet) and their venting system. Furnace vents as well. Regular cleaning of your fireplace and chimney is the best way to ensure both your safety and enjoyment of the hearth.

4. Comprehensive Repairs
 
We offer a full range of repairs for your hearth and chimney:

    Masonry Repairs
     
    Fireplace, or woodstove and equipment related repairs.
     
    UL listed relining techniques for old, or damaged, or improperly constructed fireplaces, for woodstoves, furnaces and gas appliances.
     
    We use the Fireguard Restoration System that fills mortar voids between clay tile liners. This allows us to provide a superior repair without totally relining the chimney.

5. Chimney Caps and Covers

    This often overlooked element of your chimney system is important for keeping out rain, tree debris, and all the animals lurking around your chimney.
     
    We have numerous standard caps available in stainless steel or copper that will fit most any chimney.
     
    Custom Caps allow for many more style options that can give you exactly what you want to finish off the top of your chimney. These can be stainless steel, copper, or stainless painted black. All chimney caps come with a lifetime warranty.
     
    Chase Covers are for prefab fireplaces. Often this metal top is concave and therefore collects water. They rust and add to deterioration inside and outside the chimney. We install replacement chase covers as well.

 

6. Installation & Sales

We can assist you in selecting a new hearth appliance or system from a wide range of choices or install a system you have already selected:

 

Wood stoves and Inserts

 

Direct and B-vent Gas stoves and Fireplaces

 

Chimney Pipes and vents
