Rebuild Fireplaces
Water damage resulting from a missing chimney cap is all too common. We remedy this situation by reconstructing the back walls of fireplaces, returning them to their original pristine condition.

Rebuild Crowns
Improperly built crowns are another common problem. If yours is cracked or poorly constructed—allowing water penetration or posing a fire hazard—we’ll build a proper concrete one that’s guaranteed not to crack.

Install Chimney Caps
The best way to prevent moisture from rain and snow, animals, leaves, and other debris from entering your chimney is to install a chimney cap. Our high-quality stainless steel caps carry a lifetime warranty.

Custom Chimney Caps
We also offer custom Chimney Caps for nonstandard sizes multi flue whole chimney caps in copper, stainless steel or Galvinized . These are prepay orders after measuring and the free estimate and usually can be installed in 2 business days.

Custom Chase Covers
Modern chimneys for prefab fireplace and heater flues are framed in wood and surfaced with siding or stucco at the top of this chase (box around the chimney pipe) is always topped by a piece of galvanized sheet metal. This metal will both rust out and slump and sag causing water to dump into the chase and then your home . This water may not be seen for years all the long rotting the wood ,creating mold and rusting out the chimney and fireplace. We offer the highest quality custom made chase-covers ( they must be custom made all chase vary in size and there is not a standard size or sizes) They are made of stainless steel and copper .They are fabricatewith a sealed collar and creased to channel water down the outside of the chase and not drain in the chase it also prevents sagging over time.

Water Leak & Condensation Resolution & Repair
If water is damaging your fireplace inside or out, we’ll find and fix it—no matter the source.

Air Vent Problem Resolution
The quality of the air you breathe in your home is important, and we take it seriously. Our technicians have extensive knowledge about the entire venting system in your house, and we have the expertise to detect and resolve the full range of air vent issues.

Reasons For Inspecting Your Air Vents:

Reduces the chances for fire.When the vent is blocked the dryer heats up and the chance for fire is increased. The buildup on the inner wall of the vent tube becomes farmable and the risk of fire increases.
Reduces energy consumption. When there is no blockage, less stress is put on the appliance.
Better Operation. All connections from the dryer to the exterior should be inspected to ensure they’re working properly. After removing the dryer vent from the wall, we use our professional Dryer Cleaning tool with a rotating brush to clear the inside of the tube of all debris. As we do this, we vacuum and blow the lint from the tube, restoring the flow of air through the system. Your dryer will work like it's brand new.

Animal Removal
If squirrels, raccoons, birds, or other pests have made a home in your chimney or duct, we’ll eliminate the problem, removing the animals and their nesting materials, and preventing future infestation.

**All written Estimates and Certification are good for only 30 days. We reserve the right to charge to reissue certifications (we must reinspect ).
