Booked a chimney cleaning & inspection — on time, tidy, and they walked me through exactly what they checked. Honest work, zero upsell.

The first step toward optimal performance and safety. We thoroughly inspect for any signs of damage or leaks, covering:
Essential to safety — strange smells can signal dangerous creosote buildup. Our cleaning includes:
Your system wears down over time. Routine repairs keep it safe:
Chimney restoration. Chimneys are exposed to harsh weather all year. Leaks often cause more damage than fires — if water has penetrated your chimney, cast iron and steel components may begin to rust. Our rebuilding services restore structural integrity and boost safety. We repair leaking areas and apply a waterproof sealant. If you notice deteriorated mortar, contact us as soon as possible.
Masonry repair. Though brick and mortar are some of the strongest building materials, they break down over time. We inspect and repair any masonry issues in your chimney — from repairing and rebuilding your firebox to a full chimney or fireplace rebuild. Our experienced technicians are here for you.
Chimney installation. Bromwell's installs fireplace inserts, wood-burning fireplaces, and stoves. Our team is knowledgeable in gas-burning technologies and custom fireplace doors and surrounds.

We'll design and install a fireplace anywhere in your home.
