Our Services

If you’re a homeowner in Hopkins, Minnesota, and you’ve typed “chimney inspection” into Google, you’re probably worrying about creosote, clogs, and a draft that just won’t work. A proper inspection looks at the flue for blockages, measures the soot buildup, and checks for cracks or loose bricks that could spark a fire. We’ll also test the draft to make sure smoke is pulling up, not rolling back into your living room where it can choke the family. Our pricing is clear and flat-rate – you’ll know the cost before any work starts, no hidden fees. Scheduling is simple: give us a call, pick a time that fits your life, and we’ll be there to give your chimney a thorough once-over and a written report of what’s right and what needs fixing.

Reliable chimney inspection

We inspect every inch of the flue for soot and creosote buildup. Our techs watch for cracked liners that can let heat escape. We check the draft to see if smoke is pulling upward correctly. Any signs of blockages get cleared before they cause a fire. You’ll get a clear report and recommendations right after the visit.

Clear scheduling

Scheduling is easy, just give us a call or book online. We work around your heat schedule so you’re not left in the cold. Same-day appointments are available when needed. We’ll confirm the time the day before and arrive on time. No hidden steps, just a straightforward slot on the calendar.

Honest pricing

Our pricing is upfront with no surprise add-ons. You’ll know the cost before we lift a ladder. We charge based on the size of the chimney and the work required. Any extra repairs are explained and approved beforehand. The invoice matches the estimate, plain and simple.

Local professionals

Our crew lives in the area and knows the local building codes. We’ve seen the typical brick and mortar issues that pop up in this region. That knowledge helps us spot loose bricks before they become a fire hazard. We use the right tools for each job, from cameras to moisture meters. Trust a neighbor who’s done this work for years.

Prep that matters

Before we start, we ask you to clear anything near the fireplace. Move furniture and rugs a few feet away. Keep pets out of the work zone for safety. We cover the floor to catch any falling debris. This prep saves time and prevents damage during the inspection.

Follow-through

After the check, we walk you through what we found and what to fix. We schedule any needed repairs at a convenient time. Our follow-up call makes sure the chimney is still clean and operating well. We keep records for future inspections. Call (888) 295-7280 if you need to set up a follow-up or have questions.
