Why Richardson calls us

Masonry fireboxes, aging dampers and gas logs that were added later.

Most of Richardson was built in the 1960s and 70s, which means brick fireboxes and clay flue tiles that have been through five decades of Texas heat and the occasional ice storm. Many of those fireplaces had gas logs dropped in years later, and the damper, cap and crown were never looked at again. That combination is exactly what our sweep and inspection is built to catch.

We inspect what is actually installed, show you photos, and quote any repair in writing before we start. Our shop is in Arlington; there is no separate Richardson office and we don't claim one.

“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.”

Frequently asked

Straight answers for Richardson homeowners.

How much does a chimney sweep cost in Richardson?

$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.

My gas logs were put in a 1970s wood fireplace. Is that safe?

Often yes, but it depends on the damper, the venting and how the logs were installed. Gas fireplace diagnosis starts at $229. We check the burner, pilot, logs, damper position and venting and tell you plainly what, if anything, needs attention.

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. Older single-story homes often have long runs under the slab or through the attic that clog quietly for years.
