We pride ourselves on helping customers complete their projects in a timely way with exceptional quality, while keeping services and products reasonably priced.

"I hate to leave a bad review of any business but my experience as a customer with WB Chimney has been terrible. They did a horrible job on my wood stove install and it's been a major headache and expense getting it fixed. I'll say that I reached out to them multiple times over the course of two weeks before submitting this review but never once got a response. I had a new wood stove and chimney pipe installed by WB chimney 3 years ago. My roof was brand new at the time. They were a relatively new company but seemed friendly. After 2 years, my roof began to leak directly from the stove pipe in the ceiling. After contacting WB Chimney, they recommended scheduling a service call where they could *****. Because the warranty on the stove install was only 1 year, I paid them $150 to come out. The technicians assessed the roof and stove pipe and added some caulking. The whole assessment and "fix" took 10 minutes. This did nothing to solve my water leak problem. After contacting WB Chimney again, they suggested that there was probably an issue somewhere else on the roof, which is making its way in through the stove pipe. Their recommendation was for me to have a roofer assess the problem. I had the company that installed my roof come out to take a look. This is a local company who has an excellent reputation and has been in business for 20 years. The roofers assessment was that the stove pipe had been installed completely wrong and was bound to fail from the beginning. The cheap and easy fix of slapping a bunch of caulk around the holes was about as shoddy a fix as one could do. Not being a roofing expert, I tried to contact WB Chimney to see what they had to say. Of course I never heard anything back. With no other option I paid the roofing company another $850 to re-shingle and re-caulk around the stove piping. This was nearly as much as I'd paid WB in the first place for the install. That solved the issue. After a month of heavy spring rains, I have yet to have another leak or any other problem. Again, I contacted WB Chimney nearly a dozen times to see if they had anything to say. Never received any response! If I were you, I'd take my business elsewhere to a company that knows what they're doing"

Fireplaces questions, answered by experts

The best wood for a fireplace includes hardwoods, such as ash, birch, cherry, maple, and oak. These woods ignite quickly and put out the most heat. They also produce less smoke than other types of wood. Softwoods, such as eucalyptus, poplar, and willow, are poor choices for burning in a fireplace because they create a lot of smoke and have a high moisture content that makes it challenging to light.

Minor cleaning and maintenance are DIY-friendly, but professionals should handle structural or electrical repairs.

Creosote logs can help to reduce new creosote build-up by about 60%, however they don’t replace regular cleaning. While creosote logs can help to prevent build-up of creosote in your chimney, they won’t remove build-up that’s already there. Creosote logs can be used as a preventative measure in conjunction with regular cleaning, but you will still need to clean your chimney about once per year.

Yes, it’s worth capping a chimney. Here are several reasons to install a chimney cap:

  • Keep out rain, snow, wildlife, and other debris

  • Help prevent chimney fires

  • Reduce your chimney’s exposure to moisture

  • Maintain your chimney flue liner

  • Help reduce energy bills by helping regulate your home’s temperature

Pellet stoves are much more energy efficient than traditional fireplaces, and the pellets they burn create fewer emissions, leaving indoor and outdoor air cleaner. Plus, the biomass pellets are made from recycled materials, making them even more eco-friendly. You can also adjust the temperature of a pellet stove and go about most of your day without needing to tend to it.
