Our Services

A good chimney inspection in Schenectady starts with a quick look at the inside of your flue to spot creosote buildup that can spark a fire. We check for blocked sections, cracked liners, and any weak spots that cause poor draft or smoke to back up into your living space. Our techs also inspect the brickwork for cracks or loose bricks that could let heat escape or crumble over time. You’ll get a clear, upfront price before any work begins, so there are no surprise charges. Scheduling is simple – call (888) 295-7280 and we’ll set a time that fits your calendar, and the inspection itself usually takes under an hour.

Honest pricing

Our pricing is straight-up honest, no surprise add-ons. We give you a written estimate before any work starts. The cost covers the full inspection and a detailed report. If extra repairs are needed, we explain why and how much. You only pay for what’s actually required.

Local professionals

Our team lives and works in Schenectady, so we know local building codes. We bring the right tools for every job, from cameras to soot samplers. We treat each home like our own, respecting your property. You get a professional who cares about the neighborhood. Trust local experts who are around the corner.

Prep that matters

Before we start, we clear the area around the chimney. We remove nearby combustibles and protect floors. This prevents soot or debris from spreading. We check that the firebox door opens cleanly. Proper prep saves time and avoids mess later.

Follow-through

After inspection we give you a clear, written report. We point out any problem spots and recommend fixes. If you choose us for repairs, we schedule the work promptly. We follow up to ensure the chimney is safe and running well. Our job isn’t done until you’re satisfied.

Service Area

Our chimney inspection covers Schenectady and the surrounding towns of Scotia, Rotterdam, Colonie, Guilderland, and Ballston Lake. We’re a local crew that shows up on time and knows the area’s older homes inside out. We check for creosote buildup, cracked bricks, and blocked flues that can choke the draft and push smoke back into the house. If we find draft problems, we’ll point out whether a chimney cap or a clean-out is needed to restore proper flow. Pricing is transparent—no hidden fees, just a clear quote before any work begins. Call us at (888) 295-7280 for a reliable, no-nonsense inspection you can trust.
