Construction And Repair
Service Area
We focus on local chimney and fireplace services throughout Montgomery County, surrounding counties, and upper northwest Washington, DC.
For larger or more specialized projects, we can also evaluate whether broader travel makes sense based on the scope of work and the needs of the project.
Whether you need routine service, restoration, installation support, or help solving a difficult drafting or venting problem, our goal is to provide clear guidance and dependable hands-on work.
Lining
We use a U.L. listed cast in place masonry or a flexible stainless steel lining system for oil, gas, propane, or wood heating equipment. Chimney lining can increase appliance efficiency and help prevent early deterioration of the flue liner. It is especially important for masonry chimneys that have had newer furnaces, boilers, or water heaters added over time.
Cleaning
We use a powerful vacuum that prevents soot, dust, and debris from entering the home atmosphere during thorough chimney cleaning. Every serviced chimney and appliance receives a Level 1 inspection of visible areas, including checks for clearances on stoves, smoke pipe, inserts, and prefab chimneys.
Diagnostics
During a Level 2 chimney inspection, we may use a color closed-circuit video camera to document interior chimney-flue conditions. This process helps identify damage, deterioration, cracks, missing mortar joints, broken tiles, blockages, and other problem areas, and can support written reports with pictures for insurance or project planning.
Historic Homes
Many historic homes feature small fireplaces that are shallow in depth, narrow in width, and vent to unlined chimneys. We offer a large variety of gas coal effect fires that are perfect for use in these historic homes. We are historic restoration specialists and can help you choose the perfect appliance for your home, design its venting system, and perform the complete installation.
