Our story
Built on the jobs other companies rushed
Chimney Safety Experts started with a simple frustration: too many homeowners were handed a vague verbal quote, a quick brush of the flue, and no idea whether their fireplace was actually safe to use.
So we built the company around proof. Camera inspections in every truck. Photos of every finding. Flat pricing agreed before the first drop cloth goes down. Fifteen years and more than twelve thousand chimneys later, that hasn't changed — and it's still why most of our work comes from neighbors telling neighbors.
We're locally owned, we live in the neighborhoods we serve, and our name goes on the truck. That's a strong incentive to do it right the first time.
What we stand for
Six standards we don't bend on
Flat pricing, honestly held
The number we quote is the number you pay. No trip fees, no mid-job surprises, no commission-driven upsells to a system that's fine.
We leave it cleaner
Drop cloths, shoe covers and HEPA containment on every job. Soot stays in the vacuum, not on your hearth, rug or furniture.
The same crew, every time
Background-checked, uniformed, employed technicians — never day-labor subcontractors sent out under our name.
Safety over sales
If your chimney only needs a sweep, that's what we'll tell you. If it's unsafe to burn, we'll say that just as plainly.
On time or $50 off
You get a call ahead and a real arrival window. Miss it and we take $50 off the visit — the schedule is our problem, not yours.
Our timeline
How we got here
2010
One truck, one promise
Founded by a second-generation mason after watching neighbors get talked into repairs they never needed.
2015
Camera inspections standard
We put video scopes in every truck so homeowners could see the inside of their flue instead of taking our word for it.
2019
Masonry division added
Full rebuilds, crowns and relining brought in-house — one accountable crew from diagnosis through finished work.
Today
12,000+ chimneys later
Same family ownership, same flat pricing, same written report at the end of every single visit.

What neighbors say
"They found a cracked flue two other companies missed. Fixed it the same day and the price never moved."
"Showed up early, laid down drop cloths everywhere, and left the hearth cleaner than they found it."
"Full rebuild after storm damage. Crew was professional, insured, and handled the claim paperwork."
"Booked online at 9pm, they called by 9 the next morning and swept us same-week. Fastest I've dealt with."
"Camera inspection showed exactly what needed repair before they touched anything. No upselling, just facts."
"Crown was leaking into our dining room. Sealed it same day and gave us a two-year guarantee on the work."
