Howard Chimney Co

Howard Chimney Co. is dedicated to providing professional chimney services and helping homeowners maintain the safety, functionality, and long-term condition of their chimney systems. A chimney is an important part of a home's structure and heating system, especially for properties that rely on fireplaces or other chimney-connected appliances. Over time, exposure to heat, smoke, soot, moisture, changing temperatures, and outdoor weather conditions can cause a chimney to accumulate buildup or develop damage that requires attention. Regular maintenance and professional care can help homeowners identify potential concerns, maintain proper ventilation, and protect their properties from preventable problems. Howard Chimney Co. represents a commitment to dependable service, careful workmanship, and an approach that places importance on maintaining clean, functional, and well-cared-for chimney systems.

Ten Flue Disciplines

From routine soot extraction to structural chimney rebuilds, our certified sweeps maintain every component between your hearth floor and chimney crown.

Flue Sweeping & HEPA Containment

Masonry Tuckpointing & Crown Pour

Level 2 Camera & Flue Relining

Comprehensive rotary brush sweeping paired with triple-layer floor protection and industrial negative-air HEPA containment to guarantee zero dust settles on interior furnishings.

High-definition 360-degree camera runs pinpoint hidden flue tile fractures, carbon monoxide leakage paths, and damaged damper seals before installing custom stainless liners.
