Chimney Cleaning & Sweeping
A proper sweep clears soot, ash, creosote, and blockages so your system drafts the way it should. You’ll notice the difference the next time you light a fire.
Chimney Inspections (Level 1 & Level 2)
We use video scanning, full-flue evaluations, and NFPA-compliant reporting to help you understand what’s working and what needs attention.
Chimney Repairs & Rebuilds
Our masonry team handles everything from small repairs to full chimney reconstruction, using mortar matching and long-lasting materials built for the Pacific Northwest.
Chimney Liner Installation & Relining
We install stainless-steel liners, repair clay tiles, and offer HeatShield® resurfacing for chimneys that need reinforcement but not a full tear-out.
Fireplace Repair & Servicing
Our team repairs ignitions, fireboxes, glass doors, venting issues, and more so your system performs the way it was meant to.
Fireplace & Stove Installation
We help you choose a system that fits your home’s style, size, and heating needs. We also handle venting so everything is safe from day one.
Masonry Restoration & Waterproofing
Our restoration work brings back structural integrity and improves weather resistance—often extending your chimney’s life by decades.
Chimney Cap & Crown Repair / Replacement
Our chimney cap installation and repair services protect against water intrusion and animal entry—helping preserve structural integrity and extend the life of your chimney for years to come.
Historic Home & Masonry Restoration
Our historic home and masonry restoration services preserve original character while reinforcing structural stability—carefully repairing brick, stone, and mortar to protect your property for generations to come.

We clear lint buildup from the full duct run and check for code compliance under BOD 19-08. A clean, properly vented dryer runs more efficiently and lowers the risk of a lint fire.

Frequently Asked Questions
How often should I schedule a chimney sweep in Portland?
Once a year for most homes using wood-burning systems. More if you burn frequently during wet months, since creosote builds faster when fires run cooler.
What’s the difference between Level 1 and Level 2 inspections?
We’re well-versed in Level 1 checks visible, accessible components. Level 2 includes a full flue scan and is required during home sales, after structural changes, or if safety issues are suspected.
How do I know if my liner needs replacement?
You might notice smoke backing out, slower drafting, or unusual odors. Sometimes the damage is hidden—liners often deteriorate from the inside out—which is why video inspections matter.
Do gas fireplaces need yearly maintenance?
Yes. Even though they burn cleaner, valves, igniters, and venting systems need periodic checks to stay safe and reliable.
What chimney repairs are most common in the region?
Crown cracking, flue deterioration, mortar joint erosion, and water leaks caused by our long rainy season.
