Highwood is a small city tucked between Lake Forest and Highland Park, close enough that it is a short hop from our shop. Many of its homes are older, and a lot of them are on compact lots with chimneys built close to neighboring houses and trees.

Tight lots and mature trees affect chimneys. Branches drop leaves and twigs on the cap and crown, and shade keeps masonry damp longer after rain. If your chimney sits under trees, we check the top of the chimney for debris and moisture damage as part of the visit.

Whether you want a cleaning before the season or an answer about a crack you noticed, call or send a request. We will tell you what is routine and what deserves attention.

Questions from Highwood homeowners

Do trees near my chimney matter?

They can. Leaves and branches clog caps and keep brick wet, so it is worth checking the top of the chimney after fall.

Do you work in Highwood?

Yes, Highwood is one of the closest towns to our shop.

Can you clean a chimney in a smaller older house?

Yes. We work in all sizes of home, and we protect the floor and furniture around the fireplace.
