"I called for a free estimate, Justin came promtly and inspected the chimey. He showed me pictures of the problems and spelled out all the options. I explained to him that my cellar has floode due the problems and was anxious to get the repairs done. Justin quoted a price that was fair and much lower then any other estimates. To my surprise he said that he could do the job that day. He kept sending me pictures as the work progressed so I knew exactlywhat he was doing. He was professional and honest about what needed to be done. I was more then pleased with him and the company. I highly recommend .Chimneys are us."

Our team provides chimney solutions for every problem, protecting homes from dangers of leaking chimneys and flues. Call us today to schedule your next appointment.

"We had a great experience with Shamrock. My husband is an architect and pretty much knew what needed to be done to remove a wood burning stove from our fireplace and restore it to a working fireplace before anyone arrived to give us a quote. We had several contractors come by and try to tack on extra unnecessary add ons using scare tactics. Gary from Shamrock came and not only was he honest about what needed to be done he also assessed that we needed some repair work done to our chimney which my husband already knew had to be done. We were very pleased with the removal of the wood burning stove , the chimney repair and his promptness and professionalism. Honesty goes a long way especially when you are unaware of what the clients knowledge of the situation is. I would highly recommend and ask for Gary. "

Fully Owner Operated.A partnership, 30yrs. Servicing Seacoast. Extremely competitive rates.

"I’m very impressed with the service and knowledge of Super Sweep. They came out on-time and gave me an honest assessment of my chimney and provided me with sound recommendations. They did only what was needed , not what they could have done to drive up the cost. Over the years I’ve lowered my expectations when it comes to customer service because of past experiences. It’s refreshing to have a local company that’s prompt, professional and honest. Six stars. C.M. Madbury, NH"

Our relationship with Husqvarna actually started in 1973 when we began supplying firewood to the Mount Washington Valley area. In those days it was sawed and split by hand using a Husqvarna model 280 S chainsaw and a LaFont 2-way splitter. The last manual wood splitter was a “lickety”. The performance and reliability of the Husqvarna chainsaws led us to becoming a dealer for Husqvarna branded hand-held power equipment in 1979. As the demand for firewood and power equipment grew we brought the first mechanical firewood processor in the Mount Washington Valley into the mix. The processor is a 1985 Cord King 54 carbide tipped saw mill with a 12-way stationary splitting head. Today all firewood orders are cut, split and loaded onto the delivery trucks in a single operation. Custom lengths from 12″ to 24″ (in 2″ increments) are available when you order. The edge splits and chips are included with the load as they provide good kindling to get your fire started. We advise you to place your orders early in the season so that when burning time comes you have your wood stacked and ready to go. We are dependent on local loggers for our supply of log length wood so that it is to your advantage to get into the order queue early in the year to be ready for the burning season. Our standard load (as pictured) is 2 cords. Delivery outside our regular service area may be arranged for a delivery fee. Give us a call and join our list of satisfied wood burning customers.

Fireplaces questions, answered by experts

DIY cleaning involves brushes and safety gear, but it may not be safe to reach high or hidden areas, so professional service provides comprehensive assurance.

Yes, a hot fire can burn off creosote, and it’s recommended to start one before using a creosote log to heat up any stuck tar within your chimney. A creosote log can then cure and hopefully loosen creosote buildup.

It depends on the location of the home and, more particularly, the region’s climate. For example, a Florida homeowner can rest assured they won’t lose money at resale if their home doesn’t have a fireplace. However, buyers in Minnesota or other northern states known for frigid winters might offer a lower price if the home doesn’t come equipped with another way to stay warm.

Depending on who’s doing the estimating, about 22,000 to 25,000 chimney fires happen each year in the United States. Given the fact that millions of Americans have fireplaces (and chimneys), that means chimney fires aren’t exactly common—but they’re not rare, either. Since they’re so dangerous, it’s important to take precautions to prevent them.

Some types of electric fireplaces use more electricity than others. Models that produce 1,500 watts will have more of an effect on your heating bill than 750-watt models. 

Electric fireplaces use an average of $1.85 of electricity every eight hours. These minimal operational costs aren’t likely to make a big difference in your electric bill—unless you’re using it as a primary heating source for your home and it’s running most of the time.
