“Two other companies quoted a full rebuild. These guys fixed the crown and waterproofed it for a fraction — leak's gone.”

Frequently asked questions
Do repairs come with a warranty?
Yes — masonry and cap work carries a workmanship guarantee, and waterproofing treatments include a 10-year material warranty.
How often should a chimney be swept?
The NFPA recommends an inspection every year and a sweep whenever creosote reaches 1/8 inch. If you burn regularly in Manassas winters, that's typically once a year.
Do you work on gas fireplaces too?
We inspect and service the venting on gas units as well — flue checks, cap work, and draft problems included.
What is a Level 2 inspection and when do I need one?
A Level 2 adds a full video scan of the flue. It's required when buying or selling a home, after a chimney fire, or after any major weather event.
Will sweeping make a mess in my house?
No. We lay drop cloths, seal the fireplace opening, and run HEPA vacuums the entire time — your hearth stays spotless.
My chimney leaks when it rains. Can you fix it?
Yes — most leaks come from a cracked crown, missing cap, or failed flashing. We diagnose the true source and fix it, not just symptoms.
Do you provide free estimates?
Yes — repair estimates are free and written, with photos of what we found and the final price quoted before any work begins.
Are you licensed and insured?
Fully. We carry liability insurance, and every technician is certified and background-checked.
How fast can you get here?
Most Manassas appointments are available within a few days, and often same-week even in peak fall season.
