Hear from Our Customers
You get complete peace of mind knowing your chimney won’t put your family at risk. Our certified technicians find hidden dangers like creosote buildup, cracked flue liners, and structural damage that could lead to house fires or carbon monoxide poisoning.
We catch small problems now so you avoid expensive repairs later. A simple inspection today prevents thousands in damage tomorrow. Your fireplace works efficiently, your heating bills stay reasonable, and you sleep better knowing your home is safe.
Most importantly, you get honest answers. No scare tactics, no unnecessary upselling. Just straight facts about what your chimney needs and what it doesn’t.
We’ve been serving Providence County families for years, and we understand what makes chimneys in this area unique. The freeze-thaw cycles here are brutal on masonry, and the moisture from being so close to Narragansett Bay creates specific challenges that many contractors miss.
We’ve seen it all in Wanskuck’s historic homes – from the beautiful older properties near Providence College to the renovated mill worker houses that give this neighborhood its character. Each home tells a story, and each chimney has its own needs.
Our approach is simple: treat your home like our own. We protect your floors with multiple drop cloths, use HEPA-filtered vacuums to contain every speck of soot, and explain everything we find in plain English. No technical jargon, no pressure tactics – just honest service from neighbors who care about keeping your family safe.
First, we protect your home. Before we touch anything, we lay down drop cloths and set up our specialized equipment. Your floors and furniture stay spotless – guaranteed.
Next, we inspect everything. We start at the top of your chimney and work our way down, checking the cap, crown, flashing, and exterior masonry. Then we examine the interior – the flue liner, damper, smoke chamber, and firebox. We use high-tech cameras to see areas that are impossible to reach otherwise.
Finally, we explain what we found. We’ll show you photos of any issues, explain what they mean for your safety and your wallet, and give you clear options. If repairs are needed, we’ll prioritize them by urgency. If your chimney is in good shape, we’ll tell you that too. You get a written report within 24 hours, so you have documentation for insurance or future reference.

Every chimney inspection includes a comprehensive visual examination of your entire system, from crown to foundation. We check for structural damage, water intrusion, animal intrusions, and dangerous creosote buildup that could ignite.
In Wanskuck specifically, we pay extra attention to issues common in this area. The neighborhood’s proximity to Route 146 means more road salt in the air, which accelerates metal corrosion. The older housing stock often has original clay flue liners that may be cracked from decades of use. And the area’s history of industrial activity means some homes have unique venting challenges.
We also inspect your chimney cap, damper, and spark arrestor if present. These components are critical for keeping water, debris, and animals out of your system. In Providence County’s climate, a failing cap can lead to thousands in water damage within just one season.
You’ll receive digital photos of any problem areas, a detailed written report, and clear recommendations prioritized by safety and cost. We also provide maintenance tips specific to Rhode Island’s climate to help you protect your investment year-round.
