Our Process
To ensure that we protect your home from any damage, drop cloths will be used to protect all surface areas near the fireplace. We scan every chimney we clean. In doing so, we can find hidden defects that we didn’t know were there before.

This ensures that no dust or allergens enter the air in your home. Our cleaning services also include a Level 2 NFPA Inspection. Here is our 4-step process:
