I can't say enough about how AJ handled the chimney repairs. I have an older house built in 1962 and I knew the chimney needed some work inside the house and on top. AJ was honest, explained what the issues were, all the pros and cons, and what had to be repaired. He and his team showed up on time, made the repairs and charged an honest price. I would recommend them without hesitation.

Jonathan and Sebastian did an excellent job repairing, cleaning, and making my fireplace safe. I am thrilled with the new chimney cap and all the extra work they did on the outside of my chimney. They were professional, courteous, and respectful of my home. I would highly recommend their services to anyone who is considering having their fireplace inspected and cleaned.

AJ and Jonathan did a fantastic job restoring our fireplace and chimney, with a new cap and lots of necessary cleaning and repairs. We are extremely happy with the results, and just as impressive was the fast and clear communications throughout the process.

We shouldn’t need anything else done again for a while but ALC has a new customer for life!
AJ was my chimney tech. He was very thorough, knowledgeable and professional. Our cast-iron wood fireplace had not been serviced in several years. He gave me options for maintenance that needed to be taken care of immediately. And options for maintenance later. I would recommend him to others.

Frequently Asked Questions.

Common Fireplace and Chimney questions in regards to chimney repair, fireplace maintenance, chimney sweeps, and fireplace cleaning.
How often should chimneys be inspected?

Industry guidelines recommend annual inspections, even if the fireplace is used sparingly. Small structural issues can develop without visible warning.

A comprehensive inspection evaluates the flue liner, masonry condition, chimney crown, flashing, draft performance, and firebox integrity.

Common causes include cracked crowns, damaged flashing, deteriorated mortar joints, and porous brick that absorbs water over time.

Most chimney cleaning services take between 45 minutes to 90 minutes, depending on buildup levels and system complexity.

Repairs should be addressed as soon as structural issues or leaks are detected. Delaying repairs often increases long term damage.
