What we need from you before the visit

Send the details

The prep list

Please send these before the visit. They help us plan one trip.

A short email or call is enough. List the buildings in the order you want them done, if the order matters to you. We would sooner hear a small detail now than discover it at the door.

  • Address of each building
  • Number of fireplaces in each
  • Fuel for each: wood, pellets or gas
  • How we get in, and who to call
  • Who should receive the report

Pricing

Each fireplace has a price. Pick Level 1 or Level 2, then multiply by your fireplace count.

The visit and the report

We go through the property in one visit. At each fireplace we explain what we see and take photos. If a resident is home and has a question, we answer it there, in plain words, and point to the photo. The report names each fireplace and lists its findings.

You will have the report and photos on the day we visit. Copies go to the people you list, such as the owner, the board or the resident of a unit.

Choosing a level

Level 1 is eyes on what we can touch. Level 2 means the flue camera plus the attic, crawlspace and roof we can get into. A chimney fire, an earthquake, a different fuel or a new owner each bring NFPA 211 into play, and it asks for Level 2. If you are unsure, ask us.

Rates per fireplace

Multiply the rate by your number of fireplaces.

Level 1 chimney check
$53
Video Level 2
$380
Sweep of the flue
from $215

Repairs are quoted after the inspection.

Manager questions

Is every fireplace done in one visit?

Yes.

Is there one combined price?

No. Take the per-fireplace rate and multiply it by your count.

Will you decide what gets repaired?

No. We report and quote. The decision stays with you.
