My family and I just moved in to a new house with a fireplace. We have never dealt with fireplaces much but was told it needed a good cleaning and possible repares. Eli came out and completed a thorough inspection of the fireplace with a free quote. We were able to schedule the cleaning/repairs quickly and they did amazing work! Eli is very knowledgeable, courteous and did beautiful work on repairing the tuckpoint and full chimney cleaning. We will definitely be using their services for future needs.
