Our Fireplace Shop

Many of our customers ask "Where can I get ........." So, over the years we have stocked a few popular products. Browse our Product Categories in the menu to the left.

Chimney Sweeping

Our trademark service is what defines us. We take an old tradition and add modern methods to give you the best service around. You could hire other chimney sweeps but we are the best, the friendliest and most knowledgeable sweeps around. That is what our customers tell us daily. On top of that we are concerned with keeping you safe and we work hard to do that.

Dryer Vent Cleaning

We have always offered dryer vent cleaning but have not advertised it because it is hard, hot and dirty work if done right. We decided to invest in a couple of new tools in order to be able to handle any venting situation we see. 90% of dryer vents are not meant to be cleaned and accordingly we reconfigure to allow easy access so it costs less to clean.

Chimney Repair

We repair chimneys from top to bottom. We have masons who can totally rebuild your chimney from the ground up. If your metal chimney surround(called a chase) is deteriorated and needs replacing we can do that too.

Waterproofing

Bricks or rocks are not impervious to water but actually are loaded with many microscopic pores that soak up water like a sponge. In winter when this happens and a freeze comes the face of the brick pops off as the weather freezes. Over time the material is compromised and serious water damage can result. Our waterproof coating is guaranteed for 10 years to repel the water and keep your chimney safe from deterioration.

Roof Cleaning

Keeping your roof clean is a great way to save energy and increase the life of the roof. Here in the south high humidity levels means algae proliferates on roofs blocking the reflectivity of roofs thereby increasing the heat load in the summer months which means higher utility bills.

Animal/Bird Removal

Animals and birds are more than nuisances in your chimney, they leave mites, insects, fleas, nests and defecate in there. Is that something you want to be breathing? We can get the pests out and keep them out without resorting to cruel and unusual methods.

Odor Removal

If it is too late to keep the animals out and they die in there we can get the odor out too. You can't imagine how strong a dead squirrel or bird smells until it happens. Our super strong deodorant is not a cover up but an eliminator. It smells like bubble gum and wipes out serious odors.

Wedding Service

A New Service-Let a chimney sweep impart good luck at your wedding. In Europe if a chimney sweep kisses the bride it is good luck. Remember Bert on Mary Poppins? Our sweep comes in the traditional top hat and tuxedo and can be accompanied by a number of his adorable grandchildren dressed accordingly. It will be a stunning photo opportunity that will help to create a wedding to remember.
