About
Standards
All our technicians are certified by the Chimney Safety Institute of America and versed in all fires codes and standards of the National Fire Protection Association. Those who are not yet certified are in preparation for certification and work under the supervision of someone who is certified; these people are only given work equal to their level of training. We won’t send someone out to practice on you!

Things like making promises they don't keep or maybe quoting a low up front price, then tricking you with expensive ad-ons you don't need.
