Chimney Sweep & Repair in Detroit, MI

Detroit has an enormous range of housing ages and styles across its neighborhoods, with many homes built in the early-to-mid 1900s that still have their original masonry chimneys in need of ongoing maintenance.

Michigan winters are long and cold, with many days below freezing — that means heavy freeze-thaw stress on masonry and a longer burning season, which increases creosote buildup for regular wood-burning households.
