The work we take on

Every chimney trade, one crew that shows.

Chimney sweeping to full masonry rebuild, one Thornton crew carries the whole job. The first camera look is free, the price arrives in writing, and the mess leaves with us.

Caught on camera

This is what the work looks like.

Start to finish

Four steps, no funny business.

01

We take a look

Inside, outside, and down the flue with the camera when the job calls for it. No guessing allowed.

02

You get one number

A plain-words rundown of what we found and a written price before any work starts. That number holds.

03

We do the work

Proper tools, materials that meet code and outlast the weather, and a crew that knows its trade.

04

We check it, then leave it clean

Everything gets tested against the safety standard before we pack up, and the site looks untouched.

A quick anatomy lesson

The pieces doing the quiet work.

The four parts of a chimney we get called about most, and what each one is up there for.

Flue liner

The pipe that walks smoke and gas out of your house. When it fails, those gases look for another exit.

Smoke chamber

The funnel that aims smoke at the flue. Rough or broken walls in there choke the airflow.

Chimney crown

The concrete lid that sheds the rain. One crack and the water starts winning.

Damper

The gate that holds your warm air in. A worn one pours your heating bill up the chimney.

Can't tell what yours needs?

That is what the free look is for. We will name what needs doing, and just as plainly, what does not.
