What we do

Everything a wood-burning chimney needs, start to finish

Chimney Sweeping & Cleaning

Full soot and creosote removal from firebox to flue, with dust-controlled equipment and a clean worksite when we leave.

WETT Inspections

Certified WETT inspections of your wood-burning fireplace, stove or insert — often required by insurers and recommended before buying or selling a home.

Chimney Inspection

A thorough safety check of the liner, crown, flashing and firebox — with clear findings you can act on, including for home sales.

Chimney Repairs

Crown repairs, flashing, dampers, rain caps and liner work to stop leaks and keep your fireplace safe to burn.

Repointing

Failing mortar joints cut out and replaced with a matched mix, restoring the brickwork's strength and weather resistance.

Chimney Rebuilding

Partial or full rebuilds when a chimney is past repair, built to current code with materials chosen to match your home.

Fireplace & Wood Stove Service

Servicing for wood-burning fireplaces and stoves, including caps, screens and draft problems that make a fire hard to light.

Installations

New fireplace, wood stove and chimney liner installations, done to code by our certified crew — from helping you choose the right unit to a clean, finished setup.

What our customers say

What homeowners say about our work

  • “Nitin and his crew did an absolutely bang-up job inspecting and cleaning our chimney, as well as highlighting some issues our old house might have down the road. Would highly recommend!”

  • “I would highly recommend Vancouver Chimney Chief for any of your fireplace needs. He was very kind, punctual (even arrived slightly early) and knowledgable. We had a problem with smoke building up when the tenants above us were having a fire. He took the time to explain the problem to me (a new homeowner and landlord who knows nothing about fireplaces). He offered me solutions that were both budget friendly and those that were long term and energy efficient. I really appreciated that he said I could call anytime if I had any questions or concerns about the fireplaces. I think the service was well worth the cost. Definitely will be calling them again next year.”

  • “Nitin and his helper Brennan were professional, courteous and simply amazing when they cleaned my chimney on Oct 25. The chimney had not been cleaned for a few years and was really very dirty. Brennan provided some tips to repair some broken fire bricks. I will absolutely recommend them. Thank you Nitin and Brennan! I feel much more comfortable and definitely safer when I enjoy the fireplace this Christmas with my family.”

  • “We recently hired Vancouver Chimney Chief to inspect and clean our wood-burning fireplace. Niti was super friendly, professional and knowledgeable. He answered all of my questions thoroughly and provided recommendation on where to purchase good, clean hardwood to burn in order to maintain a clean fireplace and chimney. He was in and out in 30 mins to complete the services. Credit card or etransfer payment options are available. I would highly recommend his services!”

  • “I called around in the fall for quotes to inspect and clean a double-chimney, and Chimney Chief was by far the most reasonable of any well-reviewed, chimney-specific business I could find in metro Vancouver. We just moved into the house and know nothing about chimneys, so we didn't know what to expect, but they were great -- the owner took the time to walk me through everything while his team of two got to work, pointing out pros and cons to my style of chimney, showing me how the damper worked, and didn't take advantage of my ignorance to up-sell me on an unnecessary recapping that our home inspector had suggested before we bought. I'll be using them again in a year or two, whenever I've had 40+ fires (thanks for that little tip, too!). Easy recommend.”
