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.

Our team conducted a comprehensive annual chimney cleaning and video inspection, ensuring optimal performance and safety. We began by removing accumulated creosote and debris, meticulously cleaning the chimney's interior. Next, we used specialized tools to inspect the chimney's structure, identifying any signs of wear, damage, or blockages. A high-definition camera was then inserted to capture detailed video footage of the chimney's interior, providing a clear view of its condition. This inspection helped detect potential issues early, preventing future problems. Our team also checked the chimney cap and flashing to ensure they were secure and functioning correctly. Finally, we provided a detailed report summarizing our findings and recommendations for any necessary repairs or maintenance.

I carefully removed the existing metal liner, ensuring no damage was done to the surrounding area. After cleaning and inspecting the space, I installed a new PVC liner, ensuring it was properly sealed and secured. This involved precise measurements and attention to detail to guarantee a perfect fit. The new liner was chosen for its durability and resistance to corrosion, providing a long-lasting solution. Throughout the process, I maintained a clean and organized workspace, adhering to safety protocols. The job was completed efficiently, leaving the area ready for further construction or use.

The new liner was precisely measured, cut, and fitted to ensure a perfect match with the existing space. All connections were sealed to prevent leaks, and the installation was completed to the highest standards, ensuring long-term functionality and reliability. The final result is a seamless, efficient system ready for use.
