Certified technicians, tidy work with drop cloths laid and soot vacuumed up, and same-week openings — from a family operation, not a chain.
We rod the flue from top to bottom and vacuum out every bit of soot so your fireplace pulls cleanly and runs safely.
Full flue brushing, smoke shelf, firebox, damper inspection, photo report.
Built-up lint slows your dryer and creates a real fire risk, so we clean the entire line from the machine to the outside wall.
End-to-end brushing, airflow verification, exterior hood check.
We replace cracked mortar joints, restore worn crowns, and waterproof the brickwork before moisture causes real damage.
Tuckpointing, crown restoration, flashing inspection, waterproof sealing.
A thorough cleaning and safety review for wood and pellet stoves, covering the stovepipe down to the door seal.
Stovepipe cleaning, baffle inspection, gasket and door seal check.
A thorough review of the flue, crown, liner, and firebox, with written notes on every item that needs attention.
Camera scan of the liner, written summary, photographs.
A properly sized stainless cap blocks rain, animals, and leaves from entering the flue and prevents downdrafts.
Sizing, stainless cap, spark screen, secure fastening.
Dear neighbor,
My grandfather began cleaning chimneys in Chicago with a truck, a set of brushes, and a commitment to leave every hearth in better shape than he found it. That is still how we work.
When you call, you speak with our family, not a dispatch center, and the technician who knocks on your door is someone we trained ourselves. Our name goes on every job.

Owner, Red Cedar Chimney Service
“Our dryer dropped from two full cycles to one that same afternoon once they cleaned out the vent.”
“The technician went through every photo in the report and was upfront about what could hold off until spring.”
“Caught a cracked liner tile the previous company overlooked, showed me the images, and laid out my options with no hard sell.”

We run a camera through the flue liner, examine the crown, cap, flashing, damper, and firebox, and hand you a written report with photos.
Absolutely — wood and pellet stoves get a complete cleaning and safety review, from the stovepipe through the baffle and door gasket.
Once a year for most households that burn wood on a regular basis. If you go through more than a cord per season or notice dark flakes in the firebox, schedule a sweep earlier.
We spread drop cloths from the door to the hearth, put on shoe covers, seal off the fireplace opening, and keep a HEPA vacuum going the entire time.
Late summer or early fall is best. The schedule fills up fast after the first chilly evening, so booking by September keeps you set.
Late summer and early fall fill up quickly. Grab your spot before the season shifts.
