The Stovepiper Chimney Sweep

Great service.  They were very careful not to track dirt in the house. In fact, the house was probably cleaner when they left than when they arrived. They explained everything and answered all our questions. A few things out of their control caused some delays in this large project but they were great about making everything right and keeping us updated.

An Ahren Fire system was installed, and the interior of our chimney reconstructed and lined. It was a difficult project, but Will stuck with it and worked through the issues encountered. We ended up with a beautiful fireplace that works safely and perfectly. We wholeheartedly recommend Stovepiper Chimney Sweep!

After a chimney fire, we had to have our entire fireplace system replaced. Because our house is over 140 years old, the repair was very complex. Will came out initially and thoroughly examined our chimney and firebox utilizing video equipment. He was then able to develop a plan for replacing our firebox and chimney with an Ahren system. The process was grueling, as our chimney held many unpleasant surprises. But Will persevered and was able to stay within his original estimate, even though he had to change from 7" to 6" steel piping. He explained everything he was doing, cleaned up thoroughly after each day of work and was an absolute gentleman throughout. We will be having him back every year to sweep our beautiful new AhrenFire system. We recommend Will and his company wholeheartedly.

Since this was a historic building and an awkward placing, it took much skill.  First, Will did an inspection of the chimney and wrote a report with many pictures, inside and out, of the chimney, showing the required changes.  The chimney was too low below the roof line for good draft.  It had to be raised 7 feet before the liner could be installed.  The chimney was reinforced with rebar, which was something that others did not suggest doing. Before beginning work, Will came out with color samples for the stucco and spoke with the oil burner installers.  This communication ensured that the job went smoothly.  The mason was respectful of activities in the church and adjoining cemetery.  They kept the materials together and neat during the process and cleaned up when it was done.  It looks and works great.  His price was also the best.
