What we do
Five services, one crew
From an annual sweep to a full crown rebuild, the same technician scopes it and the same crew does it.
01
Chimney Sweep
The annual flue sweep that clears creosote before the burning season starts.
02
Chimney Cleaning
Firebox, smoke chamber and ash pit — the deeper clean a flue brush alone never reaches.
03
Chimney Inspection
Condition review by NFPA 211 level, including the pre-sale inspection Seattle transactions ask for.
04
Chimney Repair
Masonry, crown, mortar and liner work — the highest-value repairs a wet Seattle winter drives.
05
Chimney Cap Installation
Caps and spark arrestors — the cheapest part of a chimney that prevents the most expensive repair.

The wet-season reality
What 150 wet days a year does to a chimney
Seattle averages roughly 150 days a year with measurable rainfall, and a chimney does not get much of a break between storms to dry out. A cracked crown that would sit fine through a dry summer elsewhere spends a Seattle winter taking on water every few days instead.
The Puget Sound Clean Air Agency can call a burn ban on wood-burning fireplaces during stagnant winter air — that restricts using the fireplace, not having it serviced. A burn-ban stretch is often the easiest time to get a sweep or repair scheduled, since the fireplace is already off-limits either way.
A crown that stays wet for months cracks faster than one that gets a chance to dry.
We check the crown, the flashing and the mortar on every visit, not just the part that made the appointment.

Anthony Gill
Water started dripping into our attic during heavy rain so we knew the chimney needed attention fast. Team showed up prepared and diagnosed a completely eroded concrete crown and pulled-away flashing. …
Gregory Phillips
Moved into a new-to-us house in Ballard with a gorgeous brick fireplace but no service history. Scheduled an inspection to be safe. …
Loretta Green
It was important to us to feel safe about our tall chimney after the recent earthquake. The crew carefully checked it out from the inside and the roof. They found some loose cement joints and a crown that was slightly off-center. …
Leona Green
The tech was sweeping the roof from the top down and took images revealing a damaged chimney crown and weak mortar joints on the chase. Clear visual proof, no hard sell!
Where we work
Seattle and the rest of King County
A twenty-mile radius from central Seattle, covering ten cities — one crew, one appointment book.
That radius reaches Bellevue, Kirkland and Redmond on the eastside, south through Renton and Kent, and out to Burien, Shoreline and Mercer Island. If an address falls just outside a listed city, call and we will confirm whether it is covered.

Questions
What people ask before calling
Do you publish a street address?
No — we are a service-area business with no public storefront, the same as our Google listing shows. Every job happens at the customer’s property, inside our twenty-mile radius from central Seattle.
What are your hours?
Every day, 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. — call or send the form any time in that window and someone reads it.
Are your Google reviews real?
Yes — all 41 are visible on our Google Business Profile, unedited, with our replies where we left one. We link straight to the profile rather than a curated excerpt.
Do you work on gas fireplaces, not just wood?
Yes, though the venting and burner components on a gas system need a different check than a wood-burning flue — tell us which you have when you book.
What is included in a free estimate?
A look at what you have described, a straightforward scope if the job is simple, or a scheduled inspection first if it needs one — either way, no obligation to book anything on the spot.
Do you serve my city if it is not on the list?
If your address falls inside roughly twenty miles of central Seattle, very likely yes — call and we will confirm before you book anything.
Tell us what changed
Tell us what the fireplace is doing that it did not do last winter, and we will tell you plainly what it needs.
