A chimney sweep isn’t just about clearing soot—it’s about removing creosote, the sticky, flammable residue that builds up with every fire. In Fort Collins’ dry climate, creosote hardens faster, increasing fire risk if left unchecked. Our brush-and-vacuum method clears every flue, from the damper to the crown, leaving your chimney as clean as the day it was built. We also inspect for cracks or gaps that could let embers escape, a common issue in older Fort Collins homes near Old Town.
Request this service →Most Fort Collins homeowners don’t realize there are three types of chimney inspections—and using the wrong one could leave hazards undetected. A Level 1 inspection covers the basics: flue, liner, and accessible parts. Need more? We’ll spot-check your chimney’s structure with a camera or even remove bricks if required. Our reports are plain-language, not tech-speak, so you’ll know exactly what’s happening in your Fort Collins home’s chimney before you light another fire.

In Fort Collins, where winter winds can push smoke back into homes near the foothills, we clean fireboxes, flues, and even the glass doors to restore proper airflow. We also check gaskets and dampers for wear, so you’re not paying to heat the outdoors. Your first cleaning includes a free odor check—because a clean chimney should smell like nothing at all.
Request this service →A small crack in your chimney’s liner might seem harmless, but in Fort Collins’ freeze-thaw cycles, it can let water seep in and expand, spalling bricks and damaging your home’s foundation. We repair cracked liners, repoint mortar joints, and replace damaged caps to keep critters and debris out. All repairs come with a 1-year workmanship warranty, and we’ll show you before-and-after photos so you know exactly what you’re paying for.
Request this service →A missing chimney cap is like leaving your front door open in a Fort Collins blizzard. We install custom caps that fit your flue’s exact dimensions, blocking rain, snow, and even squirrels that love to nest in unused chimneys. Caps also prevent downdrafts that can fill your home with smoke. Choose from stainless steel or copper—both come with a 10-year warranty against rust and critter damage.
Request this service →Fort Collins’ older neighborhoods are full of character, but aging chimneys often hide structural flaws. We tuckpoint crumbling mortar, rebuild damaged stacks, and match historic brick to preserve your home’s curb appeal. Unlike generic masons, we understand how chimneys age differently in Colorado’s climate—from Old Town’s Victorian homes to newer builds near Harmony Road.
