What we do
HearthMasters has been restoring, maintaining, and building chimneys and fireplaces since 1982, but we recently stopped doing large masonry chimney restoration projects. We do all other aspects of masonry chimney repair, service, and inspections. Gene Padgitt does all of the work listed below:
- Chimney sweepingfor all types of flues to remove flammable creosote
- Level I, II, and III chimney inspections for real estate transactions, insurance claims, and regular annual inspections
- Dryer vent cleaningto remove flammable lint
- Gas appliance tune-up, service, and diagnostics
- Sales and service of gas and wood-burning appliances for customers who need a different option. We do not have a retail store or showroom. We carry Regency, Hampton,, Hearthstone, Valor, and Thelin products. We MUST do an inspection of the site or fireplace/chimney before doing any type of installation.
- Fire claim inspections and fire investigations for insurance, attorneys, and investigators
