  • What area do you service?

    We service Pittsburgh as well as Allegheny, Greene, Fayette, Westmorland, Washington, and Monongahela counties in Pennsylvania.

  • What is the difference between an estimate and an inspection?

    With an estimate, you're looking at masonry repairs and with an inspection, we're looking for safety issues. If there's a leak, you'll need an estimate.

  • Why do I need a chimney inspection?

    According to the National Fire Protection Association, your chimney should be inspected and cleaned once a year.

  • Why does every chimney need a cap?

    1. Protects against rain and snow, which if allowed in, can lead to moisture damage and expensive repairs.
    2. Keeps animals out 
    3. Blocks burning embers and sparks from escaping onto the roof or yard, causing a fire hazard.
