Documented, Not Dressed Up
A homeowner who cannot inspect their own flue is at the mercy of whoever does. Coupon outfits lead with a cheap sweep and make their money on repairs nobody confirmed were needed. We run Novak Chimney Care on the opposite principle — every recommendation comes with photo or camera evidence you can see for yourself. If the flue is fine, "it is fine" is the entire recommendation, and we will not dress it up.
Here is what actually happens between your call and a chimney that is safe to use. A quick phone triage tells us what to bring, so the visit gets the job done rather than scoping it for later. We shield the room, finish the job properly, photograph the result, and leave you knowing exactly what was done. We have boiled it down to a process you can actually count on.
