It’s amazing how fast a chimney can go from lost cause to looking close to brand new. Here’s a before and after of a local chimney after a power washing and waterproofing treatment. The Stainless steel chimney cap keeps the rain off the chimney and critters out. If your chimney is looking old and shabby call us for a quote on a complete chimney make over.

No matter how high the chimney, we go to the top whenever possible for a thorough inspection of the chimney. Thanks to Steve Brunette of The Masiello Group for the Drone shots!

Your chimney is a giant sponge. As each season passes water becomes trapped. Water expands when frozen causing the mortar joints to separate. Over time your chimney slowly crumbles. Stop the water getting in with our Chimney Saver Waterproofing System. The chimney top is covered in CrownCoat while the flashing is sealed with FlashSeal. Finally all vertical surfaces are sprayed with the solvent based Waterproofing treatment forming a Gortex like barrier. Let us help save your chimney! Call today!

 Beginning in the early 1800s in England, May Day was the Chimney Sweeps Parade Day. Sweeps from all over the countryside came to town on their only day off to bring good luck and cheer. They came dressed in black ready to enjoy the festivities.

The tradition of the “Jack in the Green” began as maidens carrying bouquets of flowers. Over the years competition to have the greatest greenery display ensued. One year a local chimney sweep guild sponsored a man dressed in a huge green costume and the tradition of “Jack in the  Green” was born. This year Black Jack Chimney Sweep will be marching in the Kennebunk May Day Parade. Come enjoy the festivities and look for us in the parade at 1:30 pm.
