Your gas fireplace isn’t ‘set it and forget it’—it needs a pro checkup too.
We hold ourselves to the highest standards so you can hire with total confidence.
We carry $2M in liability insurance and worker’s comp, so if anything goes sideways (and it shouldn’t), you’re covered. Our license is active with the State of Colorado, and we stay up-to-date on NFPA 211 standards. No subcontractors, no shortcuts—just a pro crew that shows up with the right tools and the right paperwork.
We won’t recommend a Level 3 inspection if a Level 1 will do, and we won’t sell you a new cap if yours is still functional. Our estimates are itemized and transparent, with no hidden fees. If you ask for a second opinion, we’ll give it—no hard feelings. Your trust matters more than a quick sale.
Windstorms, hail, or a sudden cold snap—when your chimney’s compromised, you need it fixed yesterday. We reserve spots for emergencies and often can squeeze in same-day appointments for urgent issues. Call before 2 PM, and we’ll do our best to get someone out the same day.
Every repair, sweep, and installation comes with a 10-year warranty against defects in materials and labor. If something goes wrong (and we don’t expect it to), we’ll fix it at no cost to you. This isn’t a gimmick—it’s our way of proving that we do the job right the first time.
Matthew Clark Chimney LLC doesn’t do fluff—just the hard work that keeps your Lafayette home safe and your chimney running right. We show up on time, armed with the right tools and a no-BS checklist to clear every flake of creosote, soot, and debris that builds up in your flue. No shortcuts, no upsells—just a clean chimney that draws properly and burns safer the first time. We’ve seen what happens when homeowners skip this step, and we won’t let your fireplace become a fire hazard because of neglect.
"Matthew Clark swept our chimney last month, and I was shocked at how thorough they were. They found a small crack in the flue that another company missed—and fixed it on the spot. No upsell, no drama. Just a clean chimney and a warranty."
"After the windstorm last spring, our chimney cap was dangling by a thread. Matthew Clark had someone out the next day to replace it. Fast, professional, and the new cap looks like it’s been there forever."
"We’ve used them for three years now, and they’re the only chimney company that actually explains what they’re doing. The waterproofing treatment they did last fall has kept our chimney dry through two blizzards—no leaks, no issues."
"Called for a routine sweep before winter. They showed up 10 minutes early, worked efficiently, and left the place spotless. Best part? They didn’t try to sell me a new damper when mine was fine. Honest work in a town full of shady contractors."
"After the Marshall Fire, we were paranoid about our chimney’s condition. Matthew Clark did a Level 2 inspection with a camera and gave us a clear report. Turns out our chimney was in great shape—but we appreciated the peace of mind."
"Their masonry repair work is top-notch. We had a section of brick crumble after a freeze-thaw cycle, and they repointed it perfectly. The warranty gave me confidence, and the price was fair. Wouldn’t trust anyone else."

Check your chimney within 48 hours after heavy snow in Lafayette. Snow load can crack masonry, dislodge caps, or clog flues with packed slush. If you see white streaks or hear creaking from the attic, call us—those are signs of water intrusion or structural stress that need immediate attention.
That campfire smell is trapped creosote and soot in your flue, and Lafayette’s dry winters make it worse. When the heat’s off, odors seep into your living room through gaps in the masonry. A Level 1 sweep removes the buildup, and we seal any cracks to stop the stink for good.
Yes—our Level 2 inspection uses a camera to scan your flue liner for cracks, gaps, or deterioration. In Lafayette, where freeze-thaw cycles stress masonry, a cracked liner can leak carbon monoxide or allow heat to damage your home’s structure. We flag issues early so you can repair before winter.
A basic sweep only cleans the flue; a full inspection (Level 1 or 2) checks for damage, blockages, and code compliance. In Lafayette, where chimneys endure heavy snow and wind, a full inspection catches hidden cracks or creosote glaze that a basic sweep misses—saving you from costly repairs later.
Your cap should block snow, rain, and critters—but if you see icicles forming inside the flue or hear scratching in the chimney, it’s failing. Lafayette’s squirrels and raccoons love nesting in unprotected flues. We install sturdy caps and repair damaged ones to keep pests and precipitation out.
Burn pine only if your chimney’s been swept within the last 12 months. Pine creates heavy creosote, and Lafayette’s dry air accelerates buildup. If it’s been longer, stick to seasoned hardwood and schedule a sweep before the next burn to avoid a dangerous glaze forming in your flue.
If you’ve had a chimney fire, roof work, or a major storm near Lafayette, call for a Level 2 inspection immediately. Also, if your fireplace smokes more than usual or you notice white streaks on the exterior masonry, those are red flags that warrant a full camera scan.
Those white stains are efflorescence—mineral deposits left by water seeping through cracked mortar. In Lafayette, where humidity swings with snowmelt, unsealed bricks absorb moisture and push out salts. We repoint the joints and apply a waterproof sealant to stop the cycle and protect your chimney.
