Metal Chimney Crown Repairs
Cheap builders use galvanized sheet metal chimney housing crowns that runs and leak water within 8 to 10 years of use.
We replace these rusty crowns with painted heavy duty custom aluminum crowns that will last as long as the house.
These crowns will not rust or stain and add a beautiful touch to your chimney top with superior strength to outlast storms, heavy snow, and ice.

Many customers call us because they have problems with their fireplaces. The number one problem is "Why is my house cold when I use my fireplace and why does cold air fall out of my fireplace when I am not using it?"
A jobsite investigation is required to assess these problems. Many times the problems are multi-faceted and a game plan is developed to address the problems.
Since open burning fireplaces are extremely inefficient and aid in the development of cold drafts in the home, the installation of a high efficiency gas burning fireplace insert may be included in the checklist of needed changes.
High quality direct vent gas inserts with a steady state efficiency range of 72%-86% operated from a remote control thermostat will keep the cold in check and also work as an emergency backup heating system should the electric power fail.
Give us a call, we have solutions for your fireplace problems!
These pictures are some of the recent gas inserts we have installed as part of a plan to solve fireplace problems.
I am forever amazed and captured by the beautiful flame show produced from our Fireplace Xtrordinair, Lopi and Avalon woodburning fireplace inserts. The flame show is awesome and this unit is heating 2000 sq ft. I am adjusting the air control to maximize secondary combustion and to extend burn time to last over night!
