Preventative Fireplace Care You Can Trust

Inspections don’t just protect your home—they protect your family. A yearly inspection helps catch early warning signs of fire risk, poor ventilation, or moisture intrusion that can damage surrounding masonry or framing. Our licensed technicians provide fast, reliable evaluations for all fireplace types, from classic brick and masonry to modern gas log systems.

Inspection Reporting and Recommendations

Every inspection includes a written report with observations, recommendations, and photos when needed. This makes it easy to plan future maintenance or share with a contractor. Homeowners appreciate our transparent approach, timely scheduling, and detailed documentation.
