Our Services


Chimney Restoration Services:

Residential repair and building projects, masonry heaters, bake ovens,  fireplaces, and historic restoration.  If it has anything to do with FIRE, we probably
do it, and we have the proper equipment, training, certifications, occupational license and Master Mechanical Contractor License to do the job.

OUR Qualifications:
CSIA and NFI Certified technicians, HVAC degree, Master Mechanical License, 28 years in the industry.  We know chimneys and fire!
You should know that
A Master Mechanical License (HVAC) is required in most cities in Johnson County and Jackson County for chimney relining or repair, and installation of hearth appliances! 
To date,
WE ARE THE ONLY CHIMNEY COMPANY WITH A MM LICENSED Technician on staff.

You can check the Johnson County Contractor Licensing Board or call your city codes department to check for a listing of licensed contractors.  (our company is listed as HearthMasters, Inc.) LICENSING does not mean an occupational license - trade licenses are completely different. 

Many
city codes require permits for gas or wood flue relining, hearth appliance installation, and major chimney repair.
Most cities also require an occupational (business) license.  We have business licenses in every city in the KC area.

CHIMNEY CAPS


We do not install or repair prefabricated (manufactured) chimneys or fireplaces or carry parts. (Call a hearth retailer)
We do not sell chimney pipe or flue liners to the public due to liability issues. Check your city codes - many cities require a licensed contractor do the installation of chimneys and chimney liners.
