Planning a wood stove installation? Safe clearances, the right flue, and a proper hearth are what make it pass inspection and draft well.

Which fix fits your situation?

If you have an existing masonry chimney, we line it to the stove and set clearances — usually the simplest path.

If there is no chimney, Class A insulated pipe runs up or out; the trade-off is more material cost for placement freedom.

If you are replacing an old stove, we confirm the flue size matches the new unit.

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

What we handle

A correctly sized stainless liner matters when venting a wood stove into an older masonry chimney; hearth clearances matter for code.

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
