Our Services

Chimney inspection in Ithaca, New York is a must-do for any homeowner who wants a safe, warm house. A good inspection checks for creosote buildup, which can ignite and start a fire if left unchecked. It also looks for blocked flues, poor draft, and any cracks or loose bricks that could let smoke back into your home. We’ll point out safety risks, explain what the job involves, and give you clear pricing up front. Scheduling is straightforward – just call (888) 295-7280 and we’ll set a time that works for you.
