“Mark Mantooth is extraordinary! I have a Kalamazoo Grill and after 13 years of hard grilling I needed it serviced. He was prompt, but more importantly—he was a subject matter expert in Kalamazoo Grills.”GaryDallas–Fort Worth · Verified Google review

Frequently asked
Straight answers for Arlington homeowners.
How much does a chimney sweep cost in Arlington?
$229 flat for a standard Level 1 sweep and inspection. That includes containment, cleanup and photos of what we found. Camera scoping is a separate $199 add-on if the inspection calls for it.
How much is dryer vent cleaning?
$229. We clear the full run from the dryer to the outside termination and check airflow before we leave. Long runs in two-story homes are the usual reason a dryer takes two cycles.
Do you fix gas fireplaces that will not light?
Yes. Pilot, igniter, thermocouple, valve and remote problems make up most of our winter calls. Diagnosis starts at $229 and any repair is quoted in writing before work begins.
