The full lineup

Every job a flue can ask of us.

A chimney is one connected system, firebox to cap, and Boulder adds altitude, wind and freeze-thaw to the equation. Here is the full lineup of work we do on that system, each piece measured for a mile of elevation and cleaned up behind.

The method

Four unhurried steps, every time.

Look first

We walk the system inside and out, running a camera up the flue where eyes cannot go, before forming any opinion.

Explain the why

You hear what we found, what the physics of it means for your house, and a written number before anything happens.

Do the work properly

The crew works methodically with materials rated for this climate and code, at the pace good work actually takes.

Prove it and tidy up

We verify draft and safety on the way out, walk you through the results, and leave the room as we found it or cleaner.

A short anatomy lesson

The parts doing the quiet work.

Four components carry most of the load in any chimney. Knowing them makes every conversation with us shorter.

Flue liner

The protected passage that carries smoke and gases up and out. When it fails, those gases start looking for other exits.

Smoke chamber

The funnel above the firebox that steers smoke into the flue. A rough or eroded chamber turns smooth airflow into turbulence.

Chimney crown

The sloped concrete summit that sheds water off the stack. Once it cracks, every storm makes a small deposit inside.

Damper

The valve in your home airflow. Stuck open it exhales your heat all winter; stuck shut it fills the room with smoke.

Not sure which of these you need?

That is what the free inspection is for. We look first, explain the physics of it, and tell you plainly what is worth doing and what is not.
