"Pratts Professional Chimney Service was easy to work with. Friendly. Came out measured the chimney. Scheduled the installation but due to bad weather rescheduled. Came out replaced old Chimney chase, cleaned up you would never know they were there other that to see the new Chimney chase.. I would recommend Pratts Professional Chimney Service.

"Anthony and his partner inspected and cleaned our chimney. They were thorough, professional, and even advised us of exterior parts of the chimney that were potential cause for concern: the chimney caps, and flashing seal were in need of replacement and repair. If you need chimney work done, call Top Hat Chimney Service to get the help you need. Thank you!!"

"I had GEM Chimney & Duct complete a full chimney cleaning and safety inspection at my home on Hennepin Avenue in Minneapolis. They removed heavy creosote buildup, checked for blockages, and even handled some minor mortar repairs to make sure my chimney was safe and efficient. Their certified team came the same day, and it gave my family peace of mind just in time for the heating season."

"We were very impressed with Erik and Chimney Crafters. He did an excellent job and we would highly recommend Chimney Crafters for first class work at a great price. Our family room fireplace has never looked better. Most important Erik was very professional, respectful while at our home and performed quality work."

Chimney Sweep questions, answered by experts

Most projects take 1-8 weeks, depending on structural repairs, cleaning, and air quality restoration.

Solar panels that haven’t been properly inspected and maintained pose several risks to homeowners. Firstly, a dirty, obstructed, or malfunctioning solar panel won’t be able to generate as much power, which could lead to power shortages and wasted money. But more importantly, neglected solar panel arrays can become dangerous if left for too long. Corroded wires and exposed circuitry are fire hazards, so it’s strongly recommended to keep up with regular maintenance to protect your home.

Smoke smell and odors typically will not go away completely on their own, especially once the particles have penetrated porous materials like walls, floors, ceilings, and furniture. While airing out affected items can help the smell subside over time, it often lingers for months or even years. To effectively remove stubborn smoke odors, you should combine several methods. Start with a thorough deep cleaning and deodorizing using substances like baking soda or activated charcoal. Air purifiers can also help capture airborne particles. In severe cases, you may need to replace heavily damaged materials. If the smell persists after repeated treatments, consider hiring a professional smoke damage restoration company for assistance.

Repairing a fire-damaged home could cost anywhere from $2,000 to $200,000 or more—it all depends on the extent of the damage and the quality of the materials you use. In most cases, your homeowner’s insurance company will cover the majority of the repairs. If you’re buying a home with fire damage, though, it’s best to get an estimate from a fire damage restoration company to estimate the repairs before closing.

Some of the most common chimney problems include:

  • Creosote buildup

  • Chimney blockage

  • Deteriorating brickwork or stonework

  • Cracked chimney top

  • Damaged flashing

  • Flue liner damage or deterioration

  • Damaged chimney cap

If you suspect you have a chimney problem, contact a masonry contractor for an inspection.
