Every visit includes containment drop-cloths and high-velocity HEPA vacuum filtration to ensure zero soot enters your living quarters.
Flue camera diagnostics
Rotary power sweeping
Clean hearth guarantee
Full-height internal video sweeps detect hidden clay tile fractures, mortar decay, and creosote accumulation before fire hazards occur.
Precision mechanical whips strip Stage 1 to Stage 3 glazed creosote deposits from the flue walls down to bare masonry.
Double-layered canvas floor runners and industrial dust arrestors protect fine hardwood, mantels, and living room carpets without residual ash.
Baltimore County home reviews
They arrived right at 7:30 AM, laid heavy canvas runners across our entire foyer, and showed clear camera footage of our flue before quoting any work.
David M., Glen Arm homeowner
Our fireplace had drafted smoke into the living room for two seasons. Hollis rebuilt the smoke chamber parging and replaced our cracked damper in one visit.
Karen T., Lutherville-Timonium
Straightforward tradesmen who explain creosote buildup without scare tactics. Pricing was fair and the hearth looked cleaner than when they walked in.
Marcus B., Towson resident
Full chimney and masonry trade
Crown sealing and tuckpointing
We repair weather-damaged chimney crowns with elastomeric sealants, re-point spalled brick mortar joints, and perform full smoke chamber parging to halt freeze-thaw water intrusion.
Relining and damper installs
Factory-certified stainless steel flue liner insertions, top-sealing energy dampers, and firebox refractory panel replacements bring aging wood-burning systems up to current NFPA code.
Caps and animal barriers
Custom-measured spark arrestor chimney caps, chase cover replacements, and heavy-gauge wire mesh screens prevent rain leaks, downdrafts, and nesting squirrels or birds.
Open Sunday through Friday from 7:00 AM to 10:00 PM for scheduled flue sweeps and emergency draft diagnostics across Glen Arm and Baltimore County.
