Need fireplace repair? Whether it is a gas unit that will not light or a wood fireplace that smokes, the fix starts with finding the cause.

Which fix fits your situation?

If it is gas and the pilot is out or it will not ignite, that is usually the pilot assembly, thermocouple, or valve — a service call fixes it.

If a wood fireplace smokes or will not draw, it is often a blocked or undersized flue; the trade-off is a quick sweep versus living with a draft and safety issue.

If you are not sure, a free inspection tells you what it needs before any work.

Not sure? Text a photo and a tech will point you the right way before any truck rolls.

What we handle

A new valve or igniter matters when a gas unit will not light safely; firebox panel repair matters when cracks expose the surround.

What homeowners say

“The tech called before he came, showed me photos of the cracked crown right on his phone, and gave me the price on the spot. No pressure, no upsell. Honestly refreshing.”
— Dana M., New Haven, CT
“Our cap blew off in a storm and they were out the next morning. Clean, on time, and a good bit cheaper than the first quote I got. They left zero mess.”
— Robert P., Minneapolis, MN
“I'd been putting the chimney off for two winters. One free inspection and I finally knew what I was actually dealing with. Booked it before they left.”
— Allie T., Richmond, VA
