From the ownerSince 2016
A family craft, not a franchise.
My grandfather began cleaning chimneys in Washington with a truck, a set of brushes, and a commitment to leave every hearth in better shape than he found it. We still hold ourselves to that standard.
When you call, you talk to our family, not an answering service, and the technician who shows up is someone we trained ourselves. Our name stands behind every job.
— Tate
Letters from neighbors
What our customers say
“They put down coverings from the front door all the way to the hearth. There was no trace that anyone had been there to clean the chimney.”
Sarah M. — annual sweep and inspection
“Our dryer went from needing two cycles right back to one the same day they cleaned out the vent.”
Renee B. — dryer vent cleaning
“Caught a cracked flue tile the previous company overlooked, showed me the pictures, and laid out my options with zero pressure.”
David R. — inspection before buying a house

We spread drop cloths from the entrance to the hearth, put on shoe covers, seal off the fireplace opening, and keep a HEPA vacuum running the entire time.
How frequently should a chimney be cleaned?
Once a year for most households that burn wood on a regular basis. If you go through more than a cord per season or notice black flakes in the firebox, schedule a sweep earlier.
What is covered in an inspection?
We run a camera through the flue liner, examine the crown, cap, flashing, damper, and firebox, and provide a written report with photographs.
How far ahead should I book before winter?
Late summer or early fall is ideal. The schedule fills up fast after the first cold snap, so booking by September keeps you ahead of the rush.
Do you service wood stoves as well?
Absolutely — wood and pellet stoves get a complete cleaning and safety inspection, from the stovepipe through the baffle down to the door gasket.
