Family-owned chimney and fireplace service for Cripple Creek and the surrounding area — cleaning, inspection, repair, and installation. Available by phone 24/7.
Homes across the Pikes Peak region range from established city neighborhoods to foothill and mountain properties. That variety means chimneys of many types, each aging differently depending on exposure and elevation. For homeowners in Cripple Creek and the surrounding communities, that means the same practical approach we bring everywhere: understand the system first, then recommend what actually makes sense.
Creosote from real winter use
Where fireplaces get real use through a cold season, wood fires leave creosote in the flue. It builds up, holds odors, and in heavier layers becomes combustible. Regular cleaning and inspection, plus burning well-seasoned wood, are the core of keeping a wood-burning system safe.
Water is the thing to keep out
Most chimney problems trace back to water getting somewhere it shouldn't. A missing cap, a cracked crown, worn mortar, or failed flashing all let moisture into the system, and once it's in, Colorado's cold does the rest. Keeping the top and the joints sound is the simplest way to protect the whole chimney.
Draft and how a fireplace pulls
How well a fireplace drafts depends on the flue, the liner, and the chimney's condition, and elevation plays a role too. When a fireplace smokes or won't pull, the cause is usually somewhere in that path — a partial blockage, a liner issue, or a draft problem — rather than the fire itself.
Foothill and mountain exposure
Homes at higher elevation and closer to the foothills tend to see more snow, wind, and sun on the chimney, and a spark-screen cap matters more where properties sit near open space and trees. Exposure like that makes the cap, crown, and flashing worth checking before the burning season.

Frequently asked questions
How often should I have my chimney serviced?
A yearly inspection is a sensible baseline for most homeowners, with cleaning done whenever deposits or conditions call for it and repairs based on what the inspection finds.
My chimney leaks — where does that start?
Water usually enters at the top or the roof line — a cap, crown, flashing, or worn masonry — even when the stain appears elsewhere. We trace it to the real source rather than chasing the stain.
Do you work on both wood and gas fireplaces?
Yes. We clean, inspect, and repair wood-burning fireplaces and stoves as well as gas fireplaces, and we install and replace systems with correct venting.
