If you have a wood burning fireplace, you should have it cleaned every year or every 36-40 fires, depending which comes first. If you have a gas log set, you can wait much longer in between cleanings.
While annual inspections is what is highly recommended, it is possible to go longer in between inspections if you aren't using it on a regular basis. Make sure to call immediately if you suspect something isn't working properly with your fireplace. This website is also a great source for homeowners to clear up any confusion or questions you may have regarding care of your fireplace.
Gutter cleanings are definitely necessary at least once a year, but it is highly recommended to get them cleaned bi-annualy; we suggest cleaning them once in the fall and once in the spring.
Dryer vents need to be cleaned at least once a year.
Please refer to this website for specific instances when you need to get your fireplace inspected. Call us immediately if any of these cases refer to you and your fireplace!
Generally, a fireplace cleaning takes anywhere from 1.5-2 hours. During that time, your fireplace will be swept from the bottom up, removing any creosote (soot) from the firebox, smoke chamber, and flue.
Repair times vary depending on size and type of repair needed. Many repairs are possible to be done on the spot.

A Flue needs to be relined when it can no longer safely contain the elements of combustion, i.e. gas, smoke, heat, water vapor. There are several factors that can lead to this. Some of them include: high moisture content, chimney fires, poor construction, and general deterioration due to the age of the house. This is much like needing to replace roofs or windows after certain periods of time or because of certain damages.
Rain caps keep rain, snow, and animals out of your chimney, which is crucial for the safety and longevity of your venting system.
Chase tops act as a roof on top of your chase, keep water out. More often than not, chase tops are made out of a material that rusts and can cause water to enter the home, leading to a whole host of other problems such as mold.
