Chimney Cap
The small cap that keeps rain, animals, and embers out — fitted while we're up there.
Learn moreA throat damper is a cast-iron plate resting on a cast-iron seat; it never really seals, which is why an idle fireplace still bleeds conditioned air all summer. A top-sealing damper mounts at the crown instead and closes on a rubber gasket, sealing the flue like a lid at the top rather than a loose plate at the bottom. A stainless cable runs down to a handle at the firebox so you still control it from inside, and while it is shut it doubles as a rain and animal cap. Price follows flue size and shape plus roof access. It pairs naturally with the insulation and duct work we already do, so the whole house holds its temperature better.

With our crew, a top-sealing damper installation is never guesswork. We scope every job from a graded, photographed inspection first — the NFPA 211 level the evidence calls for — so the work is matched to what your flue and masonry actually need, with the report to prove it. The documented inspection is the record the top-sealing damper installation is built on.
Chimney inspectionWe've worked on 1,000+ DFW homes over 10+ years. Every job — small sweep or full rebuild — runs the same way: certified technicians, written quotes, photo reports, warranty in writing.

Family-owned, CSIA-certified, NFPA 211–compliant. We're the team you call when you want it done right the first time — no rotating subcontractors, no upsell pressure, no surprises. Same techs, same trucks, same standard.

The NFPA recommends a Level 1 inspection every year, with a sweep once buildup reaches 1/8" of creosote — for a wood fireplace you actually use, that's about once a heating season. The neighborly part: since we're already on the roof, the same crew checks your dryer vent and caps the visit with a quick whole-home safety look, so one appointment covers what would otherwise be three.
Yes — our inspectors hold current CSIA (Chimney Safety Institute of America) certifications, verifiable in the CSIA member directory at csia.org, and we have NFI specialists for fireplace work. The same trained crew handles your chimney, fireplace, dryer-vent and air-duct needs, so you're not juggling four different contractors for one house.
Yes — 24/7 response (subject to crew availability) for active leaks, an animal trapped in the flue, post-fire damage, and storm damage, same-day in most cases. One call reaches one crew that can handle whatever the situation turns out to need, instead of bouncing you between specialists while the water's still coming in.
Always — a written quote before we lift a tool, with photos of what we found, so you see exactly what you're approving. If the same visit turns up something in the dryer vent or ducts, it goes on one itemized quote and one invoice rather than a string of separate trips.
The Whole-Home Care Plan is our annual maintenance plan at $19.99/month ($240/year): a Level 1 inspection and sweep ($248 value), priority scheduling, 10% off all repairs, and emergency-response priority. Because one crew covers chimney, fireplace, dryer-vent and ducts, the plan keeps the whole house on a single schedule instead of a calendar full of separate service calls. Cancel anytime, no contract.
