Lafayette winters demand a chimney that’s free of creosote buildup—the leading cause of chimney fires. Our routine sweeps remove every ounce of flammable residue, soot, and debris that accumulates after just a few fires. We use industry-grade brushes and vacuums to clear your flue without leaving a mess in your living room. Unlike some crews that rush through the job, we take the time to inspect the entire system, including the smoke chamber and damper, to catch small issues before they become expensive repairs. Your fireplace will draw better, smell fresher, and operate at peak efficiency. Book before October to lock in the best rates.
Request this service →Not all inspections are created equal. We offer Level 1 (visual sweep), Level 2 (camera-assisted when required by code), and Level 3 (full structural review if damage is suspected) to match your needs. After the Marshall Fire, Lafayette’s older homes face stricter scrutiny—our Level 2 inspections include a full video scan of the flue to spot cracks, gaps, or deterioration that could lead to carbon monoxide leaks. We provide a detailed report with photos so you can see the problem (and the solution) for yourself. No vague ‘you might need work’—just clear, actionable insights.
Request this service →A missing or damaged chimney cap is like leaving your front door wide open for squirrels, birds, and rain to wreak havoc. In Lafayette’s wet springs and windy winters, a properly fitted cap prevents water from seeping into your masonry, which causes spalling, cracks, and costly repairs. We install custom caps that match your chimney’s dimensions and style—whether it’s a standard mesh cap or a top-sealing damper to boost efficiency. Installation takes under an hour, and we guarantee a snug fit that won’t rattle in the next storm.
Request this service →Lafayette’s freeze-thaw cycles are brutal on chimneys. One winter of moisture intrusion can turn a few hairline cracks into a structural headache. We specialize in tuckpointing—removing damaged mortar and replacing it with a custom-matched blend that resists weathering. For larger cracks or leaning chimneys, we’ll reinforce the structure with stainless steel ties or rebuild damaged sections. All work comes with a 10-year warranty, and we photograph the before/after so you can see the difference.
Request this service →Water is the #1 enemy of masonry chimneys, and Lafayette’s humidity and seasonal storms make it a constant threat. Our silane/siloxane waterproofing penetrates deep into the bricks and mortar, creating a breathable barrier that repels water while allowing vapor to escape. Unlike surface sealers that peel and trap moisture, this treatment lasts 5–10 years and won’t discolor your chimney. We apply it after repairs (if needed) to give your chimney a fighting chance against Colorado’s wild weather.
Request this service →Gas fireplaces in Lafayette homes often get overlooked, but a clogged burner or faulty vent can leak carbon monoxide or soot into your home. We inspect the venting system, test for proper combustion, and clean the burner ports to ensure your pilot light burns clean and blue. We also check the glass doors and gaskets for cracks or warping that could let in cold air. Think of it as a tune-up for your gas fireplace—preventative maintenance that keeps it running safely and efficiently all season.
