Chimney Crowns
A properly constructed masonry chimney should have an overhanging concrete crown poured on top, preventing water from entering the masonry structure. This is one of the biggest issues with chimneys in our area and a major cause of deterioration. If you have cracks in your chimney crown or you need any other.

Chimney Caps
Protect your chimney and fireplace with chimney caps & chimney rain caps. Chimney caps help with a variety of things, but primarily to keep the flue dry. The chimney rain caps prevent water from getting inside your chimney. Rain & water can damage metal dampers and masonry fireboxes. Moisture & water can very quickly can cause masonry deterioration & rotting. We install High Quality stainless steel chimney caps with lifetime warranty.

Chimney Dampers
We repair, replace & install chimney dampers to help control drafts and the flow of gasses through your house. The purpose of the fireplace damper is to prevent heat & air loss when the fireplace is not used. It's also used to regulate the rate of burning in the firebox. Chimney Dampers also prevent water and rodents from getting into the chimney. Every fireplace should have a damper. Call today to learn more!

Dryer Vent Cleaning
Cleaning a dryer vent involves removing the dryer from the vent itself and connecting a electric blower to the vent itself and running the blower as it is brushed from the outside of the home back towards the dryer connection itself. The dryer is reconnected and checked for proper flow.
