CSIA-Certified Chimney Sweep #12553

Honest Advice For Burlington, NC Homeowners
If your historic Fisher Park or Irving Park chimney has a sound clay tile liner that just needs cleaning, we'll tell you that — and clean it for $120. Some companies will quote a full stainless steel reline ($3,000+) on the same chimney. The honest answer is that an intact original clay liner, properly maintained, can outlast most stainless retrofits.
If your 1990s prefab fireplace just needs a sweep and a cap, we'll quote that scope — not push a rebuild quote. Prefab systems are designed to be serviced, not replaced wholesale.
If your chimney genuinely needs major work — crown rebuild, tear-down rebuild, fire damage restoration — we'll show you the photos, explain why, and quote it in writing. No high-pressure scare tactics. The CSIA Code of Ethics requires this; we just take it seriously.

Frequently Asked Questions
How quickly can someone be at my Burlington home?
Same-day for most Burlington addresses — the Triad office is 25–30 minutes away via I-40 / I-85. Within 24–48 hours for properties at the eastern edge of Alamance County. Active emergencies dispatch as availability allows, typically same-day or within a few hours.
Will you work on my historic West Davis Street or Glencoe chimney?
Yes — historic masonry work is one of the most common scopes we run in Burlington. Glencoe in particular has original 1880s mill-house chimneys that benefit from preservation-minded restoration. We don't replace original clay tile with stainless steel as a default; we evaluate the existing liner and recommend the right approach, based on condition.
Should I get a Level 2 inspection if my pre-WWII home has its original chimney?
Recommended, especially before the first time you use it in fall or after a change in ownership. A Level 2 inspection includes a video-camera scan of the flue, which is the only way to confirm clay tiles haven't cracked or shaled internally. Level 2 is $280 and includes camera, structural assessment, and a written report acceptable to insurance and real-estate agents.
Do you handle permits for chimney rebuilds in Burlington?
No — chimney rebuilds in Burlington typically don't require permits because the City of Burlington treats them as repair/restoration. Major structural changes may require a permit; we'll flag during the inspection and recommend a path. We don't pull permits ourselves.
