Family-owned chimney and fireplace service for Red Feather Lakes and the surrounding area — cleaning, inspection, repair, and installation. Available by phone 24/7.
Northern Colorado combines established towns, growing suburbs, and mountain communities west toward the foothills. Chimneys here span decades of construction, so condition matters more than age alone. For homeowners in Red Feather Lakes 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
Do you serve Red Feather Lakes?
Yes. Red Feather Lakes is within our Fort Collins & Northern Colorado service area. We work throughout this part of Colorado, generally within about 45 miles of our primary markets.
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.
