About us
A chimney company that shows its work
Chimney Expert Solutions is a locally owned chimney services company working across Cleveland and the surrounding suburbs. The trade has a trust problem — ours is a simple answer to it: photographs of every finding, honest triage, and one crew responsible for the whole system.
Why we work the way we do
Chimney work happens where you can't see it — up a flue, on a roof, inside a masonry shaft. That invisibility is exactly why the trade attracts scare tactics: a homeowner who can't see the problem can't tell a real one from an invented one. We decided early that the fix for that isn't asking for trust — it's removing the need for it.
So every inspection and every repair quote comes with photographs of your own chimney: the cracked tile, the open joint, the rusted-through chase cover — or the perfectly sound flue, when that's what we find. Findings are ranked honestly as urgent, plan-for, or fine. And because we handle the whole system — sweeping, masonry, liners, crowns and caps, flashing and fireboxes — the diagnosis and the repair come from the same accountable crew, not a referral chain.
We're local, and Cleveland is the point: this housing stock — pre-war brick in Lakewood and Cleveland Heights, postwar bungalows in Parma and Euclid, newer prefab systems out toward Westlake and Rocky River — is what we know, and Northeast Ohio's freeze-thaw winters are the opponent we plan around. The full list of communities we serve runs across Cuyahoga County and the ring around it.
Evidence, not assertions
Photos of every finding, before and after every repair. You never take our word for something we can show you.
Free estimates on repair work
Honest triage comes standard: urgent, plan-for, or fine. Most findings get scheduled, not panicked over.
One crew, whole system
One crew for the whole chimney — sweep, inspection, masonry, liner, crown, cap and flashing, with one person responsible for all of it.
Cleveland is the specialty
The housing stock, the lake weather, the freeze-thaw cycle — local conditions are half the diagnosis.
The standard
The annual rhythm we'll put your chimney on
The NFPA 211 standard recommends every chimney be inspected at least once a year. For a chimney that burns through a Cleveland winter, the practical rhythm is: sweep and inspect before the season, fix masonry during the warm months (mortar won't cure below ~40°F), and never let a water problem carry over another freeze cycle.
