Our Services

{"paragraph":"If you live on the Upper West Side and own a fireplace, a chimney inspection is a must-do, not a maybe. We’ll check for creosote buildup, the sticky soot that can ignite like a bomb if left alone. Blocked flues and poor draft get spotted early, stopping smoke from backing up into your living room. Our inspectors look for cracked or loose bricks that could crumble and cause a fire. You’ll get a clear price upfront, no hidden fees, and we can schedule on the same week you call. The job typically takes a couple of hours and ends with a written report and a simple plan to fix any problems."}
