Sweeps & Inspections
A properly maintained chimney is a safe chimney. At Kicking Ash Chimney Service, our “Sweeps & Inspections” service is all about providing you peace of mind by thoroughly cleaning your flue system, removing built-up creosote and other debris, and conducting a detailed inspection of your chimney’s internal structure. Whether you use a wood-burning fireplace, a stove or an insert, our certified technicians identify potential hazards, ensure ventilation is clear, verify damper and cap operation, and make sure your system is functioning correctly. With regular chimney sweeps and inspections you reduce the risk of chimney fires, improve your fireplace efficiency, and extend the life of your entire system. Choose Kicking Ash for service that’s dependable, professional and local.
Chimney Repairs
Even well-built chimneys wear over time—from cracked mortar joints and shifting masonry to degraded flashing or worn chimney caps. Our Chimney Repairs service addresses these issues head-on: we restore structural integrity, reseal leaks, rebuild damaged sections, repoint brickwork, replace deteriorated crowns, and bring your system back to safe, reliable condition. Our team is experienced in full refurbishments and partial rebuilds, helping homeowners fix problems before they become major hazards. With honest assessments and clear recommendations, Kicking Ash ensures your chimney remains a durable, safe component of your home for years to come.
Installations
When you’re upgrading your hearth, moving from wood to gas, installing a new insert or replacing an outdated unit, Kicking Ash’s Installations service delivers craftsmanship and care. We handle everything—from helping you select the right fireplace or stove, to ensuring proper venting, fitting compatible chimneys or liners, and finishing the job with detail and professionalism. Whether you’re adding a new system in a new space or retrofitting an existing one, we partner with trusted manufacturers (such as Majestic, Vermont Castings and Regency) to guarantee performance and reliability. The result: a seamless installation that elevates your home’s comfort, value and style.
Gas Appliances
Gas-fired fireplaces and stoves bring convenience, efficiency and immediate ambiance—with minimal cleanup and maximum ease. Our Gas Appliances service covers everything from selecting the right unit to safe and code-compliant installation. We ensure proper gas supply lines, venting systems, controls and thermostatic operation—so you benefit from the warmth, safety and simplicity of a high-quality gas appliance. Whether converting from wood or installing a new gas system, Kicking Ash handles the technical complexities while you enjoy the comfort of a modern, efficient hearth.
Grills
Extend your home’s comfort outdoors with our Grill service. Though it’s a little different from indoor chimney work, proper installation and venting of outdoor grills—particularly when incorporated into outdoor kitchens or masonry structures—requires professional care. We help you select and install built-in grilling systems that integrate safely with your patio or fireplace configuration, ensuring proper ventilation, safe gas or charcoal setup, and a reliable experience every time you fire up. With Kicking Ash’s expertise, your backyard becomes an entertainment hub built for both durability and enjoyment.
Dryer Vents
A hidden hazard in many homes is a clogged or inefficient dryer vent—which can lead to reduced performance, higher energy bills and fire risk. With our Dryer Vent service, we inspect, clean and optimize the entire venting system from your dryer out to the exterior. We remove lint build-up, check for proper vent termination, verify clear airflow and ensure your dryer works safely and efficiently. This service may be handled in conjunction with chimney work or as a standalone safety upgrade. It’s just another way Kicking Ash helps you protect your home and your family.
