All of the cities in the greater Kansas City area require an HVAC, Craftsman, or Class DM Mechanical License in order to install flue liners, install hearth appliances, or do chimney repair or installation. To date, HearthMasters is the only chimney contractor with this license. Gene Padgitt is our license holder and he is licensed in Raytown, Lee's Summit, Independence, Gladstone, Johnson County, and Kansas City, Missouri. Other cites recognize the license. The counties of Jackson and Clay also require licensing.
