Transformation
This is an actual chimney we serviced. One professional visit made all the difference.
What You're Looking At
The dark substance is creosote, a natural byproduct of burning wood. At just ⅛" thick, it needs professional attention.
The Result
After a professional sweep, the flue is clean, improving airflow, efficiency, and your family's air quality.
Not Sure Where to Start?
Our inspection covers chimneys, air ducts, and dryer vents all in one visit.
A routine inspection costs less than your monthly coffee budget. A chimney fire? $45,000+ in damage.

Smoke smell in home
★★★★★
Our home smelled like smoke every time we lit the fireplace. We called 1st Class, they found a blocked flue liner, cleaned it out, and now our fireplace works perfectly. I'm kicking myself for not calling sooner.

Child's worsening allergies
★★★★★
My daughter's allergies were getting worse every winter. Turns out our air ducts hadn't been cleaned in 8 years and were packed with dust and mold. Within a week of the cleaning, her symptoms improved dramatically.

Common Questions
Everything You Need to Know
Everything You Need to Know
Before You Book
Still have questions? Reach out. We are happy to help.
How long does a chimney sweep take?
Most chimney sweeps take 60–90 minutes, including a visual inspection. Deep cleaning (PCR) or smoke chamber work may take longer. We'll give you a clear time estimate upfront.
How do I know if I need a chimney liner replacement?
Signs include flaking mortar, water in the firebox, or a failed Level II inspection. We offer stainless steel and flexible liner installations, both backed by a manufacturer warranty.
Do you repair chimneys or just clean them?
We handle the full range: tuckpointing, crown repair, cap installation, masonry restoration, flashing, and full rebuilds. If we find damage during an inspection, we show you HD photos and walk through your options.
Can you service gas fireplaces and pilot lights?
Yes. We handle gas fireplace repair, pilot light service, gas valve replacement, gas log installation, and remote control setup. We also service electric fireplaces and pellet stoves.
How much does it cost?
Every home is different, so we provide a thorough inspection with clear pricing before any work begins. No surprises, no hidden fees. Ever.
What happens if you find something wrong during the inspection?
We show you HD photos and video of exactly what we found, explain your options in plain English, and give you a clear price. No work starts without your approval.
Are your technicians certified and insured?
Yes. Every technician is CSIA certified, fully insured, background-checked, and drug-tested. They complete 200+ hours of training before entering your home.
Do you remove animals from chimneys?
Yes. We safely remove birds, squirrels, raccoons, and nests from your chimney. We also install chimney caps and spark arrestors to prevent them from coming back.
