Chimney & Fireplace Services
Millie Monroe specializes in all aspects of chimney and fireplace care, from routine maintenance that keeps your home safe to full fireplace conversions that modernize your hearth. Our licensed technicians deliver thorough, reliable service backed by decades of field experience.
Chimney Inspections
A professional chimney inspection identifies hidden cracks, blockages, and creosote buildup that can cause fires or carbon monoxide risks before they become serious hazards. We recommend scheduling an annual inspection ahead of the heating season so any issues are resolved before your fireplace sees regular use. Our inspections follow NFPA 211 standards and include a detailed report of findings.
Chimney Sweeps
A chimney sweep is a thorough cleaning that removes creosote, soot, debris, and animal nests from the flue, firebox, and smoke chamber. This service is required for safe, efficient fireplace use and is often paired with an annual inspection for complete peace of mind. Regular sweeping significantly reduces the risk of chimney fires and improves draft performance.
Fireplace Conversions
Millie Monroe handles conversions between wood-burning, gas, and electric fireplace systems, helping homeowners modernize their hearth, reduce ongoing maintenance, or meet updated building requirements. Whether you are switching fuels for convenience or upgrading for a cleaner aesthetic, our team manages the entire conversion from planning through final inspection. We ensure all work complies with local codes and manufacturer specifications.
Waterproofing & Leak Repair
Chimney waterproofing is a preventative service that seals masonry against water intrusion, preventing spalling, efflorescence, and structural damage that compounds over time. Leaky chimneys are addressed comprehensively, from crown and flashing repairs to full masonry sealing, ensuring the problem is resolved at its source. Protecting your chimney from moisture is one of the most cost-effective investments you can make in long-term home care.

Our team manages each project from the initial walkthrough through final completion with consistent attention to detail.
Interior Renovations
Our interior renovation work spans kitchen remodels, bathroom updates, flooring installation, trim carpentry, painting, and structural changes that reimagine how your home flows and functions. We manage projects from planning through completion, coordinating all trades and keeping you informed at every stage. Whether you are refreshing a single room or reimagining an entire floor plan, our team delivers results built to last.
Exterior Renovations
Exterior renovation services include siding replacement, fascia and soffit work, exterior painting, masonry repairs, and curb-appeal improvements that enhance your home's first impression. Beyond aesthetics, exterior renovations protect your home's structural envelope against weather, moisture, and wear. We treat the outside of your home with the same craftsmanship and accountability we bring to every interior project.
