Their price was reasonable and they even provided a discount for the duct. They were prompt and even arrived a little early to the appointment. One technician arrived with his assistant. We have an enclosed fireplace and it had to be taken apart to be swept. Sols found that the previous company...

Chimney Sweep questions, answered by experts

Complete house winterization goes above and beyond the list we created above. In addition to everything listed, full house winterization also includes:

Performing a home energy audit.
Preparing your deck and patio for winter.
Learning how to start a snowblower.
Replacing smoke detector batteries.
Installing outlet gaskets.
Installing storm doors.

Soft washing chemicals typically consist of a mix of sodium hypochlorite (or a chemical component of bleach) and water. While sodium hypochlorite and bleach are often thought to be the same thing, there is one small but key difference between the two: sodium hypochlorite comes in powdered rather than liquid form, which means that it’s also more concentrated and more effective from less product overall.

Yes, cleaning removes harmful elements that contribute to rot or degradation, extending the roof's lifespan and averting costly future repairs.

Yes, and they do it exceptionally well. Heated roof cables have two purposes: melting snow and preventing ice buildup. Ice damming happens when ice forms on the roof (usually where the roof meets the gutter) and melts stubbornly slowly, causing moisture to enter the roof itself and, therefore, the home.
