What we do for Cary homes.

  • Chimney sweep & inspection

    We guarantee a dust-free chimney cleaning and inspection, performed by a licensed and experienced chimney sweep — never a trainee left to figure it out. We service gas fireplaces, wood-burning fireplaces and wood stoves.

  • Chimney & fireplace repairs

    If a repair is needed, or a deficiency shows up during a routine sweep and inspection, we quote it honestly and do the work ourselves. We take pride in creating honest quotes for our customers.

  • Gas logs, gas balls & gas inserts

    One of the biggest selections of gas logs, gas balls, replacements, gas inserts and gas fireplace conversion options in Chicago and the surrounding areas. Our technician walks you through the selection and helps you find the most realistic-looking setup for your home.

Older Cary fireplaces, and what usually turns up

A lot of the housing around Cary and along the Fox River dates from the 1960s through the 1990s, and the fireplaces show it. The three things we find most often are a smoke chamber that was never parged smooth, a damper that no longer seals after decades of freeze-thaw, and a crown crack letting water into the top of the stack. None of them are dramatic on the day. All three get expensive if they sit for a few more winters.

We rebuild to the figures in IRC Chapter 10 and NFPA 211 rather than to whatever was there before — the measurements are drawn out on our fireplace repairs page.
