The Black Goose Chimney Experience
It’s almost a month into a new year and we’ve got a lot to look at as we look back and start planning for the future. At Black Goose Chimney, we’ve been the Tidewater solution for chimney troubles for over 30 years. From our family to yours, best wishes for this year and everyone moving forward.
We’re all about chimneys, but we also fix fireplaces, clear vents and help with other issues that can cause house fires. Our watchwords for service are precision, expertise and attention to detail. As a family-owned and operated business, our commitment to delivering high-quality services and ensuring the safety of your home has been at the heart of everything we do. Whether you’re a loyal customer or new to our community, we’re excited to reintroduce ourselves and share what makes Black Goose Chimney the trusted name in chimney care.
Who We Are
Black Goose Chimney isn’t just a chimney service company—we’re your neighbors, dedicated to making your home a safer and more comfortable place. Your home is often the largest investment in your portfolio, and it’s the place where you spend most of the time you aren’t at work. That means it’s also the place where you expect to feel safe and comfortable. That’s why, when we started this business over three decades ago, we had one mission: to deliver exceptional chimney services that keep our community safe from the dangers of chimney fires and poor ventilation. We’ve added to those core services over the years, but values of safety, integrity, and top-notch customer service have remained at the foundation of everything we do.
From small repairs to comprehensive chimney rebuilds, we approach each job with the same level of care and attention to detail. Our team is made up of highly trained, certified technicians who share a passion for safety, quality craftsmanship, and customer satisfaction.
Our Mission
At Black Goose Chimney, our mission is simple but profound. We aim to protect your home and family by providing expert chimney care — every time. A properly maintained chimney is essential if you want to enjoy a crackling fire during the winter. Poorly maintained chimneys burn through fuel faster and might lead to high carbon monoxide levels. We make sure your chimney does the job right and that you know what to do to keep your chimney in good repair.
We’re not just here to clean chimneys—we’re here to build relationships. For us, every service call is an opportunity to help you feel confident in the safety and performance of your chimney system. Our goal is to be your trusted partner in home maintenance, ensuring that your fireplace and chimney remain safe, efficient, and ready to provide warmth and comfort for years to come.
What We Do
Our comprehensive range of services is designed to address all aspects of chimney and fireplace maintenance, repair, and restoration. Whether you’re looking for a routine cleaning or need help solving a complex issue, we have the expertise and tools to get the job done right. Here’s a closer look at the services we offer.
Chimney Sweeping
No, we’ve never starred in a Mary Poppins movie, but we’re the top name in sweeping chimneys in Tidewater. Every time you use your chimney, it picks up soot and creosote that gradually lines the interior surface. Over time, this buildup can be a possible fuel source for fires and block airflow through the chimney. Our professional chimney sweep services remove these dangerous deposits, without damaging your chimney, or using children. We use state-of-the-art equipment to provide a thorough cleaning, leaving your chimney in top condition.
Chimney Inspections
You can’t fix a problem you don’t know about, which is why regular inspections are essential for chimney owners. Our certified technicians conduct detailed evaluations of your chimney system, checking for structural damage, blockages, and other concerns. We offer Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3 inspections depending on the severity of the issue.
Chimney Repairs
From minor cracks to major structural repairs, we have the expertise to restore your chimney’s integrity. Our repair services include fixing leaks, replacing damaged bricks, repairing mortar joints, and fixing issues with chimney crowns and caps. Plus, we handle repairs quickly and with the precision we’re known for throughout the Tidewater region.
Chimney Relining
Lining a chimney is a great way to protect surrounding areas of your home from house fires and gas intrusion. Whether you have a metal, clay or concrete liner, we install or repair them to keep your chimney functioning safely.
Fireplace Rebuilds and Restorations
A crackling fire is a cozy place to curl up in front of during the winter, but only if your fireplace is safe and beautiful. At Black Goose, we restore older fireplaces and install new ones. Our skilled craftsmen deliver stunning results that enhance both the functionality and aesthetic appeal of your space.
Historic Chimney Restoration
We have a deep appreciation for the craftsmanship and history of older homes, and we specialize in restoring historic chimneys to their former glory. We make sure the newly restored chimney meets all historic restoration requirements and modern safety standards.
Dryer Vent Cleaning
Chimneys aren’t the only systems that require regular maintenance. Clogged dryer vents are a leading cause of house fires. We don’t just sweep chimneys. We also sweep dryer vents to clear out lint and other combustible debris.
Animal Removal
From bats in your chimney crowns to squirrels nesting in your attic, animals can get into the strangest and most unsafe spaces. Our humane animal removal services safely relocate critters like birds, squirrels, and raccoons, and we install caps and screens to prevent future intrusions.
Gas Log Installation and Maintenance
Gas logs are a convenient and efficient alternative to traditional wood-burning fireplaces. Get an easy on and off fireplace that looks great and doesn’t leave a mess after every evening of making s’mores.
Why Chimney Care Matters
A well-maintained chimney is part of a functional fireplace and an important home safety feature. Chimneys vent harmful gases and smoke out of your home, but when they’re neglected, they may not work as intended. Whether your chimney starts to fall in, creosote buildup starts to impact airflow or other blockages cause gas to build up in your home, it’s a major hazard.
At Black Goose Chimney, we’re passionate about educating our customers on the importance of regular chimney care. We believe that proactive maintenance is the key to preventing costly repairs and keeping your home safe and secure. When you choose us, you’re not just getting a service—you’re gaining peace of mind.
