Creosote build-up, crumbling mortar and a cracked crown don't wait for winter. Our licensed, background-checked technicians clean, inspect and rebuild Twin Cities chimneys — and leave your home cleaner than we found it.
One crew for the whole chimney — from the firebox in your living room to the crown 30 feet above your roofline. Everything below is performed in-house, never subcontracted.
Third-degree creosote is the number one cause of chimney fires. We brush the full flue, sweep the smoke shelf and vacuum every particle with sealed HEPA equipment.
A documented, top-to-bottom evaluation of the system — what's safe, what's failing, and what can wait another season. Level 1, 2 and 3 inspections available.
Spalling brick, a leaning stack or a chimney that failed inspection — we rebuild from the roofline up, or from the footing, matching your existing brick and mortar.
Minnesota freeze-thaw cycles destroy mortar joints long before they destroy brick. We grind out failed mortar and repack the joints with a color-matched mix.
A missing cap invites rain, snowmelt, squirrels and nesting birds straight into your flue. Stainless caps, custom multi-flue covers and cast crowns installed to last.
Water stains on the ceiling near the chimney? We find the true entry point instead of caulking everything and hoping — then flash it and seal it properly.
Cracked clay tiles or an unlined flue vent carbon monoxide into the house. We install code-compliant stainless liners sized to your appliance.
Firebox rebuilds, refractory panel replacement, hearth extensions and full masonry restoration on historic Minneapolis and St. Paul homes.
Any one of these means it's time for an inspection — most chimney fires and carbon monoxide events start with a symptom a homeowner noticed and ignored.
No high-pressure upsells, no mystery invoices. You'll know the price and the plan before we touch a brick.
Tell us what your fireplace is doing. We'll book a two-hour arrival window that fits your day.
A technician documents the entire system inside and out, photographs every issue, and explains it in plain English.
Flat pricing for the work that matters, ranked by urgency — safety first, cosmetics later.
Drop cloths down, HEPA vacuums running, debris hauled away. Workmanship backed in writing.

Three recent jobs, in the customers' own words.
We had them install a new chimney cap after our old one started rusting and letting water in. They came out quickly, checked everything over, and recommended a good replacement without trying to sell us anything extra. The installation was done neatly and didn't take long. Everything looks great, and we've already had some heavy rain with no more water coming in.
I contacted this company because the brickwork around our fireplace was starting to crack and look pretty rough. They repaired the damaged areas and did an excellent job matching the existing brick and mortar. The crew was friendly, respectful of our home, and kept the work area clean. The fireplace looks so much better now, and you can barely tell where the repairs were made.
We needed our chimney inspected after buying an older home, and I'm glad we called these guys. The technician took his time checking the chimney and fireplace and explained everything he found in a way that was easy to understand. He answered all of our questions and never made us feel rushed. The whole appointment went smoothly, and we feel much better about using our fireplace now.

Our full chimney inspection is free — the firebox, damper, smoke chamber, flue and all exterior masonry, checked by a trained technician who then explains what he found in plain English. No charge, no obligation. If you need the findings in writing — for a home sale, an insurer or your own records — a documented condition report with photos is $149, prepared only on request.
Inspect annually, sweep whenever creosote reaches roughly 1/8 inch. With our long heating season, most wood-burning households need a sweep once a year and heavy burners sometimes twice. Gas and oil appliance flues need an annual check too — blockages there vent carbon monoxide, not smoke, so you get no warning.
Yes, and it's one of our most requested repairs. Twin Cities chimney leaks almost always trace back to a cracked crown, failed flashing, spalling brick or a missing cap after repeated freeze-thaw cycles. We locate the actual water entry point, then repair the crown, replace flashing, tuckpoint the joints and apply a breathable waterproofing that lets the masonry dry out.
Tuckpointing means grinding out deteriorated mortar joints and repacking them with fresh, color-matched mortar. If mortar crumbles under a key, is recessed more than about 1/4 inch, or you're finding sand and brick chips at the base of the chimney, it's time. Tuckpointing now costs a fraction of a rebuild later.
Yes — licensed, bonded and fully insured, with background-checked technicians. Ask and we'll send you our certificate of insurance before we schedule the work. Never let anyone on your roof who won't do the same.
A standard sweep and inspection runs 60 to 90 minutes. We lay drop cloths, seal the fireplace opening and run sealed HEPA vacuums the entire time. Soot stays in the machine, not on your carpet.
Absolutely. Real estate transactions call for a Level 2 inspection, which includes camera scanning of the flue interior. You get a documented report suitable for negotiation, usually within 24 hours of the visit.
Yes — urgent calls jump the queue. If you've had a chimney fire, smell smoke in the house, hear an animal in the flue or your chimney is visibly leaning, stop using the fireplace and call (651) 627-8444 during business hours, Monday to Friday, 7am to 7pm. If there is an active fire or you suspect carbon monoxide, leave the house and call 911 first.
We keep it simple: one phone call, a straight answer, and a free inspection booked for this week. Monday to Friday, 7am to 7pm.
No forms, no waiting for a callback that never comes. Pick up the phone and you'll speak with someone who actually works on chimneys — not a call centre.
