The trade list

Every trade the chimney asks for.

One Arvada bench carries the whole chimney craft: sweeping and soot removal, masonry repair, new flue liners, caps and hearth installs. Whatever the stack wants, the same hands see it through, and the first look never costs a thing.

From the scaffold

The trade, as we practice it.

An Olde Town Chimney sweep brushing out an Arvada flue — Brushes up, soot down, hearth left tidy

A stainless flue liner being run into a Colorado chimney — Liners run full height and sized to the appliance

A hearth and chimney shown before and after restoration — Old brick brought back true

How a job runs

From first knock to final broom.

The look

A tradesman walks the roof and the hearth, camera in hand where eyes cannot reach.

The reckoning

What we found, what it needs, and the price, all written down before anything starts.

The work

Drop cloths down, tools out, and the job done to the standard the trade expects.

The handover

We check our own work over, sweep up after ourselves, and walk you through what was done.

Learn your stack

The parts a sweep checks by habit.

A short walk up the chimney, naming the pieces we mend most often.

Flue liner

The chimney's throat. It carries smoke and gases up and out, and it must be whole to do it.

Smoke chamber

The funnel above the firebox. Rough or broken walls here slow the smoke on its way up.

Chimney crown

The stack's own roof. Once it cracks, every storm gets a little further inside.

Damper

The throat valve. Stiff or warped, it lets your paid-for heat wander up the flue.

Not sure which trade it needs?

Book the no-charge look. A tradesman climbs up, has a proper look, and names the job, or tells you there is none.
