Triad-based, not regional dispatch
Our Greensboro office isn't a virtual address. It's a working shop at 317 South Westgate Drive with technicians, gear, ladders, and vehicles parked there every night. When you call (336) 604-6711, the team that answers also works your job. No bouncing between regional dispatch and local subcontractors.
CSIA-Certified Chimney Sweep #12553
Our CSIA-Certified Chimney Sweep credential is #12553. You can verify any technician's certification directly at csia.org. Most Greensboro chimney businesses claim certification on their site — only certified businesses are listed in CSIA's national directory. Ask any chimney company you're considering for their CSIA number; if they hesitate, that's the answer.
Fully insured — to the dollar amounts that matter
General liability via Spinnaker ($1M per occurrence/$2M aggregate). Workers' comp via AM Trust ($100K per accident/$500K aggregate). Insurance certificate available on request. This is non-negotiable for any rooftop trade — make sure anyone you hire can produce the certificate.
Honest Advice For Greensboro 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.
What Happens When You Call (984) 777-8853

Frequently Asked Questions
How quickly can someone be at my Greensboro home?
Same-day for the Triad office's primary coverage zone (0–20 miles), which covers every Greensboro neighborhood and the adjacent communities. Within 24–48 hours for properties at the edge of coverage. Active emergencies — chimney fire, smoke in the home, structural collapse — dispatch as availability allows; typically same-day or within a few hours.
Will you work on my historic Fisher Park or Irving Park chimney?
Yes — historic masonry work is one of the most common scopes we run in Greensboro. We don't replace original clay tile with stainless steel as a default; we evaluate the existing liner and recommend the right approach (relining vs. resurfacing vs. stainless retrofit) based on condition. Historic homes often have non-standard flue sizes and ornate brickwork that needs care, and that's what we're set up for.
Should I get a Level 2 inspection if my 1920s 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 still-image camera inspection of the full flue length, which is the only way to confirm the clay tiles haven't cracked or shaled internally. Level 2 is $280 and includes the camera, a structural assessment, and a written report acceptable to insurance and real-estate agents.
Do you handle permits for chimney rebuilds in Greensboro?
No — and this is intentional. Chimney rebuilds in Greensboro typically don't require permits because they're treated as repair/restoration rather than new structural work. If your specific job is one of the rare cases that does require a permit (usually for major structural changes), we'll flag it during the inspection and recommend a permit path. We don't pull permits ourselves.
How do you protect interior floors and carpets during sweep work in historic homes?
Drop cloths from the fireplace out to the front door, shoe covers, and a HEPA-rated vacuum at the firebox to capture soot at the source. The sweep itself is done from the roof down, so most debris is contained inside the chimney rather than entering the room. Historic homes with original hardwoods or fragile rugs get extra protection — say so when you call and we'll bring additional covering.
Do you respond to emergency chimney issues in winter when they happen most?
Yes — winter is our peak emergency season. Chimney fires, smoke entering the home, and water intrusion from heavy rain or ice all spike between November and February. The 24/7 emergency line is the same Triad number (336) 604-6711 — dispatch is typically same-day or within a few hours based on availability.
Will you work with my insurance company after a chimney fire?
Yes — we document the damage with photographs and a written Level 2 inspection report sized for the insurance claim packet. We don't act as your adjuster or argue the claim with the carrier — that's the policyholder's role — but the documentation we provide is what insurers actually need to process the claim.
Do you do commercial work in Greensboro?
Yes — multi-family, hospitality (hotels, B&Bs), and commercial buildings with masonry chimneys. We scope every commercial job through a free property walkthrough rather than a phone quote.
