We're a family owned and operated, 3rd generation business with 45 years of industry experience. We are a full service company that values serving people, property, and peace of mind. “We Treat You Like Family!”

"John was wonderful! Firstly, he respected my wishes re no traps or poison. Secondly, his fees were very reasonable, he charged $250. He came out to my house, did a thorough inspection, found and sealed off the mice's points of entry. He did all this in about an hour. In addition, he gave me a lot of information about the types of services other places might try to sell that are very expensive--thousands of dollars--that won't even solve the problem, like installing some kind of flashing around the entire house perimeter all the way to the base of the foundation, or unnecessarily cutting open entire walls. This happened to a nephew of ours. He spent $5000 on having walls cut open and still has a problem. I'd tell him to call John but he lives in Indiana. :( We called another company for a quote and they wanted $350 just for an inspection, although they said they roll that $350 into any needed repairs, which I have a feeling would have well exceeded $350. "

"Hired for fireplace sweeping ($179) and dryer vent cleaning ($179). They noted that the chimney chase cover was sagging and holding water. Gave us a quote ($1,179) to replace the chase cover, which was completed a couple of weeks later. We are completely satisfied with the experience and would recommend this company."

Family owned & operated. No subs. Cost is determined by the job. No travel hours service. Charges call to inquire for Angie's list member discount. Award winning.

"Had a chimney cleaning and inspection in early Oct. Both Sol and his assistant Margaret were friendly and professional. Sol is very knowledgeable and answered all my questions, and I felt very comfortable with going ahead to have his company install a chimney liner. Greg and Gary came about 10 days later to do the installation, and were also friendly, professional and respectful of my home. They politely answered more questions and cleaned up the area better than it was before."

There's no question that a wood-burning stove or fireplace requires careful maintenance for safety's sake. Burned wood creates creosote, and this highly flammable by-product is deposited on your flue liner and smoke chamber over time. When there's too much build up, all it takes is one solitary single spark to ignite this creosote and cause a chimney fire. You don't want to put your home and your family in danger, but you have every right to enjoy your fire place or wood-burning stove. You'll find this danger can be alleviated through regular sweeping and cleaning of your chimney, and our trained experts will do it right every time! Contact us today to get rid of the soot and build up to make sure your chimneys are safe and clean! We proudly serve all of the Southwest suburbs in the Chicago area.

"Bob showed up right on time and performed a Chimney Sweep. We had issues with smoke coming in the house in which he determined the issue and offered an inexpensive repair. In addition,we had him fully convert to a gas fireplace with the existing fake logs we had. He set everything up really nice and painted the interior walls and it looks great. The work was fast and very reasonable. Highly reccomend."

"FABULOUS!!! Joe really knows what he is doing. He is upbeat and communicative. He is punctual and creative in thinking. He did not want me to pay for traps when he felt that they were unnecessary so he covered a hole going into my attic to see if the varmints would tear through it again (or if they had already abandoned this nest). When they did tear thought the marker, he applied the $140 inspection fee to the trapping fee and dealt with it that way. Brilliant."

Animal Removal questions, answered by experts

Removal typically takes 30 minutes to 1 hour per item, depending on accessibility and size.

To choose a reliable and reputable bee removal specialist, you could start by searching Angi’s database of bee removal specialists. Also, look into local organizations and beekeepers associations.

No, ground bees are not detrimental to the health of your lawn. In fact, the small holes created by ground bees can actually offer beneficial aeration which moisturizes and nourishes the ground. Additionally, ground bees are highly regarded as vital pollinators, meaning they help plants to reproduce. Unless you’re battling a severe infestation, leaving ground bees undisturbed can boost the health of your yard and the environment.

If you’re dealing with a bee colony on your property, you might wonder if they’ll leave naturally over time. The answer depends on their circumstances. Bees often relocate if the hive becomes overcrowded, food is scarce, or they face a threat. With that said, if a hive’s location is safe, warm, and with plentiful food sources, they are unlikely to relocate on their own, and the hive may persist for many generations.

Ensure proper ventilation, address leaks, and conduct regular inspections.
