This is a great company to work with. They did my original rebuilds and I feel very comfortable having them back annually for my cleanings and inspections. They are friendly, timely and knowledgeable. They are always willing to explain and teach me things as well! I like that I get the same crew, and they add that personal feel.

We are very happy with the outstanding job Tyler and his hard working team did on our brick chimney and crown replacement! On top of quality work, they took extra time and care to ensure we had the best possible match to the old brick on the front of our house. They were also very conscientious about cleaning up every day and took extra care when the project was completed to make sure no debris was left behind in the lawn or landscaping.

Troy, working for 2nd GenerationChimneys, Inc., came for the annual inspection and cleanup of our wood burning stove and chimney. He worked efficiently, cleaned carefully around the stove inside, was friendly and thoughtful. We recommend him highly, as well as the 2nd Generation Chimneys, Inc. With the cleanup and inspection we received a report that tells us we're good to go for next year's wood stove season.
Great, again.

Troy arrived on time and was thoughtful and thorough. He removed his shoes in the house and made sure to cover the floor to avoid any dirt or damage. His cleaning was thorough and his inspection report was sent within about 30 minutes. Very great experience!

I conducted a comprehensive annual chimney cleaning and video inspection. Starting with a thorough sweep to remove accumulated creosote and debris, I ensured the chimney flue was clear and unobstructed. Using specialized tools, I meticulously cleaned every inch of the chimney, paying close attention to hard-to-reach areas. Following the cleaning, I performed a detailed video inspection using a high-definition camera. This allowed me to identify any signs of damage, blockages, or wear within the chimney structure. The inspection provided valuable insights and helped ensure the chimney's safety and efficiency. All work was completed with precision and care, leaving the chimney in optimal condition.

A thorough annual chimney cleaning and video inspection was performed to ensure optimal performance and safety. The process began with a detailed visual inspection of the chimney's exterior, identifying any visible damage or debris. The interior was then accessed, and a high-quality camera was inserted to capture video footage of the entire chimney flue. This allowed for a comprehensive assessment of the chimney's interior condition, checking for blockages, creosote buildup, and structural integrity. Any debris or obstructions were carefully removed using specialized tools, ensuring a clear and unobstructed pathway for safe chimney operation. The cleaned chimney was inspected again to confirm the removal of all debris and to verify that the chimney was ready for use. This service helps prevent potential fire hazards and ensures efficient heating during the colder months.
