Your family-owned chimney company in Bal Bay

Buying a home in Bal Bay, an official Orlando neighborhood, and the listing mentions a fireplace? The chimney deserves its own look before your inspection period ends. A general home inspection may note a fireplace and recommend further evaluation by a chimney professional. That note is where our part begins. Our technicians inspect the readily accessible parts of the chimney and fireplace: the firebox, damper, smoke chamber as far as it can be seen, the flue, the crown, the cap and the flashing where the chimney meets the roof.

The national standard for chimneys and fireplaces, NFPA 211, has a chimney inspected and then cleaned or repaired as needed, and a change of ownership is a sensible time to find out where things stand. Some concealed areas cannot be judged from an ordinary visit, and if that is the case we tell you what could not be seen and what it would take to see it.

Timing is the main pressure in a purchase. Call as soon as you have a contract and tell us the date your inspection period closes. Same-day service is available when the schedule allows, and we coordinate access with the listing agent or the seller so you do not have to arrange every detail yourself. The findings come to you in writing, in plain language.

If repairs are needed, the written estimate lists each one with its price, so you and your agent can use the same document in your conversations with the seller. There are no hidden fees, and nothing on the estimate is work you have to buy from us. You are working with a local, family-owned chimney company.

The inspection costs you nothing, and repairs you book within 72 hours after it carry the 10% discount. Any repair we do later carries a workmanship warranty. Welcome to Bal Bay, and ask us anything about the fireplace you are buying.
