Phone remains the fastest route. Most requests land in voicemail during a job, and we return calls by evening. Email works well for estimates that need photos or detailed measurements. The online form below captures the basics and triggers a same-day response on business days
we're on roofs from September through December as households book before the first burn, then again in January when something breaks. Masonry season runs opposite: crown rebuilds and tuckpointing fill the calendar from May through September, when mortar can actually cure above 40 degrees. Plan ahead if your project crosses either rush.
Service Territory
Our trucks cover Minneapolis, Saint Paul, Bloomington, and Brooklyn Park. Fourth-generation experience on Minnesota chimneys means we know which brick expands, which mortar washes out after 45 freeze-thaw cycles, and which liner materials survive 7,800 heating degree days without cracking.
The local climate profile records 45 freeze-thaw cycles. The climate profile records 7,800 heating degree days. A continental climate with long, dry, very cold winters and warm humid summers. Heating season runs from early October into late April. The first hard freeze usually lands in the second week of October. Those numbers dictate how we schedule inspections and why we insist on proper flashing before snow flies.
Permitted Work and Turnaround
Minnesota adopts the International Mechanical Code through the Minnesota Mechanical Code. Minnesota Rules chapter 1346. Liner installations and structural chimney rebuilds are permitted work almost everywhere in the metro. Sweeps and inspections are not. The configured typical permit fee is $110. The configured permit turnaround is 5 days.
We pull permits, coordinate inspections, and close the file. The configured permit process requires an inspection. The configured permit process names The city building or mechanical inspections department for the municipality as its permitting authority. You get a paper trail that satisfies insurance underwriters and future buyers without lifting a finger.
What to Expect After You Contact Us
First contact establishes scope: annual sweep, video inspection, liner sizing, or masonry estimate. We ask about fuel type, appliance age, visible damage, and the last service date. That conversation usually yields a ballpark price and a tentative calendar slot.
Sweeps and inspections spike from September as households book before the first burn, and again in January when something goes wrong. Masonry runs the other way: mortar will not cure below roughly 40 degrees. Crown rebuilds and tuckpointing are May-to-September work and the book fills by March. Calling early in the season beats waiting until the queue closes.
