The firebox
We remove ash, soot, and burned residue from the floor and walls of the firebox, the chamber where your fire actually burns.
A clean fireplace you can sit in front of and use with confidence. Our certified team cleans the firebox, the glass, the damper, and the hearth so your family enjoys warm, comfortable fires without soot, odors, or worry.
OVERVIEW
Over a season of use, soot and residue settle across every surface of your fireplace. The glass hazes over, the firebox darkens, and stale odors linger in the room even when no fire is burning. A professional fireplace cleaning removes that buildup and brings the whole unit back to a safe, presentable, working condition.
We clean wood fireplaces and gas fireplaces, and we tailor the work to what you actually own. Every surface a fire touches gets attention, from the firebox walls to the glass doors to the hearth in front. The result is a fireplace that burns cleaner, heats better, and looks like something you want in your living room again.
We arrive prepared, protect your floors and furnishings, do careful work, and leave the space clean. After the visit we issue a certificate of cleanliness and functionality so you have a clear record of the condition of your fireplace.
THE FULL CLEAN
A fireplace cleaning is about the fireplace itself, not only the flue above it. Here is what we address during a visit.
We remove ash, soot, and burned residue from the floor and walls of the firebox, the chamber where your fire actually burns.
We clean the glass inside and out so the haze and baked on film come off and you can see the flames clearly again.
We clear the damper of soot and debris and check that it opens, closes, and seals the way it should.
We clean the smoke chamber and shelf above the firebox, where residue collects and can hold odors and restrict airflow.
We wipe down the hearth in front and the surrounding brick, stone, or masonry so the finished area looks clean, not smudged.
We address the general soot and staining on and around the fireplace opening that makes the whole area look dirty.
A fireplace cleaning pairs naturally with a flue sweep. Cleaning the fireplace handles everything you see and touch, while a sweep clears the flue above it. Together they give you a full clean from the hearth up.

Before any work begins, we lay down coverings around the fireplace to keep your floors, rugs, and furniture clean.
We look over the firebox, damper, glass, and surround so we know the condition of the unit and what it needs.

REVIEWS
FAQ
For most homes, once a year is right, ideally before the heating season. If you burn frequently, more often may be worth it.
It depends on the type of fireplace and its condition. We provide a free estimate before any work begins, so you know the price up front.
Yes. Wood fireplaces build up soot and creosote, while gas units need soot, dust, and components checked. We adjust our approach to what you have.
You can wipe down the glass and clear ash, but a full cleaning reaches the smoke chamber, damper, and buildup that a professional visit is built to handle safely.
A typical visit takes about an hour to two hours. A compact apartment or condo fireplace is usually on the shorter end.
A fireplace cleaning and a flue sweep work together. If it has been a while or you burn wood often, we recommend both for a complete clean.
