I've been working with Jake Rowell over at Royal Chimney now for almost six years now and he's always gone above and beyond in taking care of our Osburn Wood Burning Stove and Chimney maintenance. It’s always a pleasure working with on and the greater team when we need our chimney swept and inspected.

We have always used Royal Chimney for our fireplace/ chimney cleaning and inspections. We usually work with Jake, who has been so helpful educating us on how our gas fireplace works, how to keep it running efficiently, and how to troubleshoot basic issues. He is always available to call if we have any questions.…

I can’t say enough great things about this company. They were very professional, took their time in explaining and in their quality workmanship. The chimney looks like new. They did a few interior firebricks, external concrete, tuck pointing, etc. excellent. Highly recommended.
