Chimney sweep, inspection and repair in Jefferson County, WV

Chimney work in Jefferson County

Wood heat and old houses across the river

Andrews Chimney Service works across Jefferson County, WV. Shepherdstown is the nearest town, about 17 miles from our Hagerstown base, or about 25 to 30 minutes. Call (240) 388-2417 or send a message.

Shepherdstown is the oldest town in West Virginia. Its houses go back to the 1700s and 1800s, and many are brick or stone. A Shepherdstown chimney usually has a long history, so we look closely at the flue and the masonry as well as cleaning it.

Out in the county, many rural homes are heated partly with wood stoves and inserts. Wood heat builds creosote quickly, and a stove that runs all winter needs its pipe and chimney cleaned on a schedule. This is where our wood stove cleaning work matters most.

Charles Town and Ranson are about 26 miles from Hagerstown, or about 35 to 40 minutes, and they have older in-town housing as well as newer subdivisions. Harpers Ferry is about 24 miles out.

What we do in Jefferson County

The jobs we are called for

Chimney sweep. Fireplaces and stoves both need clean flues. We sweep the chimney and, with a stove, clean the stove pipe as well.

Chimney inspection. Across the county, we use a camera and send a written report with photos. It helps most with the older brick and stone in Shepherdstown.

Repair and masonry. We repair crowns, caps and flashing, do tuckpointing and fix leaks, which matters on old brick and stone.

Relining and rebuild. An older flue with cracked tiles, or one that was never lined, may need a liner. When old brick is past patching, we can rebuild part or all of the chimney.

We also clean dryer vents in Jefferson County, and we can look at the dryer vent on the same visit as the chimney.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. They were on time, and did a very thorough inspection of our chimney interior and exterior.  They took pictures of areas of concern and explained well what what needed to be done or could be left as is.  He didn't try to upsell me on anything unnecessary.  He also advised us on how to care for everything moving forward and suggested what a plumber might want to to do the next time he is in, thus saving us having a plumbing inspection for certain items.  They kept everything on the house very clean.  They are not the first chimney service we've used in town but will be the only service we will use moving forward.  They did excellent work and we're honest.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Two wonderful men from Andrews Chimney Service came to my house Friday and again today to work on my chimney. They were very professional, and very thorough. They were very polite and knew exactly what they were doing. I thought I would have a mess afterwards but I didn’t at all. I was impressed. I would recommend them to anyone that needs their service. Again, thank you Andrews.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. You do yourself a disservice if you don’t consider Andrews Chimney to clean, fix or upgrade your chimney. It is sometimes hard to see the finished product, because after all, it is a chimney, however, if you look closely, you can tell the work is quality as well as the materials used. We had our chimney upgraded to meet current code two years ago. The cost was more than fair.
