They referred me to the services of Ageless Chimney. I'm glad they did. Not long after they arrived Nick was able to diagnose the issues my chimney was suffering from and show me with pictures of the roof, cap, crown, flue liner, etc. He is extremely knowledgeable, personable and a very hardworking and skillful tradesman. I was pleased the speed, efficiency, and quality of the job. Also, the neatness and care they took in working in our home. I recommend Ageless Chimney and especially Nick very highly.read less

From that first call to the completion of the job, the many 5 star reviews were right on -- so I'm adding one.
Joe and his assistant arrived early and got right to work, quoting me a very fair price for a full sweep. Little did he know that he would find triple the amount of soot than generally encountered.
Not only did they complete the job with no additional cost (I would have understood an upcharge for the amount of work), but Joe suggested we have the burner serviced as the amount of soot indicated to him a potential failing unit.
These guys did a great job, kept a dirty job from messing up the house -- and made a friend with my dog! They also have a loyal customer moving forward.read less

They cleaned my chimney, fully lined it, laid a piece of blue stone 5' x 18" in the wood floor and installed a new wood burning stove Nick was the guy they sent to do all of it. He was amazing every step of the way, to the point where the company tried to send a different guy the 2nd time and nick made sure they sent him back instead. Nick was meticulous. He took pride in his work and went above and beyond time and again. He stayed until the job was done and made sure it was done right. I love this company and Nick is a huge reason for it.read less

Very friendly , honest and reliable. So my liner was deteriorated and the bricks at the top of the chimney Was black with oil/soot. He made me a priority since I didn't have hot water/heat since the puff back from my boiler. The work was done at a reasonable price and the labor wasn't easy. Nick called the next day to follow up on how everything was going, he also listens. The office is easy to contact and very friendly to speak with. I'm 1000% satisfied with this company.I definitely recommend them who needs a hassle when owning a home can be stressful enough. They definitely relieved my anxiety.read less

IS IT TIME FOR CHIMNEY REPAIR? 5 SIGNS TO LOOK FOR
Sometimes it is difficult to tell if your chimney needs to be cleaned or repaired. If your chimney is not in good condition, you can’t always tell just by looking at it. However, if you know what to look for, you may be able to spot the signs of necessary chimney repair. The team at Ageless Chimney wants to help keep you and your family safe. And since chimney safety is equivalent to safety from obvious fire hazards, we want you to become familiar with telltale signs of chimney damage. Here are some signs of impending chimney repair.
Mortar Joints are Damaged
It may require a rooftop vantage point to spot, but damaged mortar joints between chimney masonry is an issue which should be quickly repaired. Failing mortar joints can mean accelerated damage to the chimney, since the condition exposes the bricks to greater amounts of moisture. When water gets into small cracks in the masonry, they can turn into larger cracks, particularly as a result of freezing and thawing. Ultimately, if the problem isn’t addressed, the chimney could collapse. Call one of the professional chimney sweeps at ageless chimney to asses the situation right away.
Rust on Firebox or Damper
Signs of moisture in a chimney or fireplace are red flags that the chimney isn’t operating the way it should. Rust is one clue that there is too much moisture, and you may see rust in the firebox or on the damper. You’ll know to take a close look at the damper if it becomes difficult to operate or if it isn’t sealing properly. If there is moisture in the chimney, rust will create numerous problems, including causing flue tiles to crack. A cracked or deteriorated flue lining is highly dangerous, since it could allow too much heat into vulnerable areas and cause a house fire. If you notice your fireplace’s damper or firebox looking a bit rusty, call Ageless Chimney for an emergency inspection or chimney cleaning today!
Spalling on Bricks
Have you noticed your masonry popping out, peeling, or flaking off? This could be a sign of spalling. It should be pretty easy to spot spalling, since bits of it fall from the chimney. If this does not get repaired, your chimney could continue to crumble and cause an eventual collapse of your chimney.
Chimney Crown is Cracked
If you notice that the top of your chimney has a crack in it, you are definitely in need of not only a chimney cleaning company, but some major repairs as well. The chimney crown must always be in good condition because it provides the first line of defense against outdoor elements. If the crown is cracked, water could seep through and cause even larger cracks. Spalling would likely occur if this problem doesn’t get repaired right away.Damaged Wallpaper
Damaged Wallpaper
If you notice that the wallpaper is damaged in areas near the chimney, it could be because of excess moisture building up in the chimney. Whether the moisture problem is caused by any of the conditions already mentioned, or others that are less obvious, it should be repaired without delay. Remember that rust could lead to further damage as well.
