CHIMNEY SWEEPING

To produce consistent results, I combine the integrity of the 19th century sweep with the technology of specialized sweeping equipment – “The August West System.”  It takes about an hour to thoroughly clean and inspect a chimney and there is no mess and little inconvenience.  I clean fireplaces, wood and coal stoves, and oil furnace chimneys, and the standard price in State College is $149.  Inspection is $99, Pellet Stove Cleaning is $239, and Spin Cleaning a creosote lined chimney is $299.  In addition to cleaning and inspecting chimneys, I also install protective chimney caps, patch crowns, and seal flashing.

GUTTER CLEANING

Don’t risk your life!  I have years of roof work experience.  I can clean your gutters and make sure your downspouts are clear – prices start at $99 and up for the whole house.  I also clean leaves, debris, and stains from roofs.  Skylight cleaning is available too.

DRYER VENT CLEANING

You can save up to $297 a year with a clean dryer vent!  Dryer lint slows down the air flow from your dryer – increasing the time it takes to dry your clothes.  Research has shown that a reduction of 64% can increase your drying time by 28%.  Don’t waste money; a yearly cleaning is only $109 plus tax, and not only will you save money, but you’ll also help protect your home from a dryer fire.  Danger – do not dry any items stained with gasoline, cooking oil, or cleaning agents, as they could catch fire.  Wash them twice and line dry.

CAPS

Single flue stainless cap; includes installation, $149 plus tax.  Stainless cap for whole chimney; prices vary according to size; protects the whole chimney.
