Sixteen things we do, and what you get
If it is part of the fireplace, the flue or the chimney, it is on this list. If it is not, call us anyway — chances are we have done it.
Chimney Inspections
NFPA Level I, II and III inspections, with video scanning of the flue when a closer look is needed.
Chimney Repair
From spot repairs and crown work to full rebuilds from the roofline up, with a new poured concrete cap.
Chimney Covers
Stainless steel, copper and black covers that keep rain, animals and debris out of the flue.
Chimney Flue Liners
Ventinox stainless steel lining systems sized correctly for your fireplace, furnace or boiler.
Tuckpointing
Eroded mortar joints cut out and repointed so heat and water stop finding their way through the masonry.
Chimney Pots
Clay, steel, lead-coated copper and aged copper pots that finish a chimney the way the architect intended.
Exhausto Chimney Fans
The guaranteed fix for a fireplace that will not draw. Quiet, virtually maintenance free, and reversible as a ventilator.
Fireplace Cleaning
The firebox, damper and smoke shelf cleaned out so the fireplace lights easily and burns cleanly.
Fireplace Inspections
A trained eye on clearances, firebox condition and venting before you light the first fire of the season.
Fireplace Damper
Seized, rusted and missing dampers repaired or replaced, including top-sealing cap damper systems.
Fireplace Repair
Smoke chamber restoration, facing repairs and clearance corrections that make an unsafe fireplace usable again.
Firebox Repair
Cracked and spalled fireboxes rebuilt in refractory brick and high-temperature insulated fireplace cement.
Full Fireplace Restoration
Firebox, smoke chamber, liner, hearth and surround taken back to new — see the Glenview and Gold Coast jobs.
Brick Repair
Spalled brick replaced, columns and façades rebuilt to match the existing house as closely as possible.
Custom Fireplaces
Modular masonry, direct vent and gas coal fireplaces designed, built and vented to your room.
