Services We Offer
Fireplace Cleanings, Inspections, and Flue Relining.
It is important to have your fireplace and chimney inspected
at least once every year or two to monitor the health of the
structure and the integrity of the flue. Even an unused
chimney can develop issues over time, including water
intrusion, liner deterioration, and hidden masonry
damage.
Routine inspections and cleanings help
prevent costly repairs while ensuring your system operates
safely and efficiently.

Masonry
Maintenance of the chimney structure itself is often
overlooked until larger problems begin to emerge.
Addressing masonry wear early, such as cracked brick,
deteriorating mortar, or crown damage, helps prevent more
serious issues down the line, including roof leaks and
structural deterioration.
Proper masonry care
protects not just the chimney, but the health of your home
as a whole system.

Hearth Appliance Service and Installation
Modern hearth appliances provide warmth, efficiency, and
aesthetic value, but they also rely on properly
functioning gas systems, ventilation, and clearances to
operate safely. Regular servicing ensures burners, pilot
systems, and ventilation components remain clean and in
proper working order.
Whether upgrading an
existing fireplace with gas logs or installing a
high-efficiency insert, proper installation is critical to
performance, longevity, and household safety.

Outdoor Gas Appliances
Outdoor gas appliances extend the comfort of your home
into exterior living spaces, but they still require
professional installation and maintenance. Exposure to the
elements can accelerate wear on gas lines, burners,
valves, and ignition systems.
Ensuring safe gas
flow, proper ventilation, and weather resistant
installation protects both your investment and your
household.

Dryer Vents and Gutter Cleaning
Dryer vents and gutters play a major role in your home’s
safety and moisture management systems. Lint buildup in
dryer vents restricts airflow, reduces efficiency, and is
a leading cause of preventable house fires.
Similarly,
clogged gutters can lead to water overflow, foundation
issues, roof damage, and masonry deterioration —
especially around chimney structures.
Routine
cleaning helps prevent costly repairs while protecting the
overall health of your home.
