We match the service to your home, 7 days a week. Call (815) 420-6665.
Established and growing
Round Lake grew around its lake and expanded steadily with new subdivisions, which gives us two kinds of chimney work. In the established neighborhoods near the lake, wood-burning fireplaces and aging masonry need regular sweeps, inspections, and the occasional tuckpointing or liner check. In the newer subdivisions, gas fireplaces need a yearly cleaning and venting safety check, and dryer vents benefit from cleaning. We handle both without upselling you work you don’t need.
Homes near the lake and in low spots see more moisture, so we keep an eye on crowns, caps, and flashing to protect the masonry.
A lake-area community
Round Lake anchors a cluster of communities in central Lake County, with the lake and its parks at the center of local life. Students attend area high schools in the Grayslake and Grant districts. We’re glad to keep the fireplaces warm across the neighborhoods. More at the Village of Round Lake.

Frequently asked questions
Do you serve both older and newer parts of Round Lake?
Yes. We work in the established homes near the lake, where older masonry and wood-burning fireplaces need regular care, and in the newer subdivisions, where gas fireplaces and dryer vents need yearly attention.
My Round Lake home has a gas fireplace — is annual service needed?
Yes. Gas fireplaces still need a yearly cleaning and venting check, because blocked or corroded venting can leak carbon monoxide. It’s a short visit that keeps the unit safe and reliable.
How often should I sweep an older Round Lake fireplace?
If you burn wood regularly, once a year is a sensible baseline, and sooner if you notice odor, smoke, or weak draft. Regular use builds creosote, the main fuel for chimney fires.
Does the lake affect chimneys in Round Lake?
For homes near the water and in low spots, more moisture means more stress on the masonry. We keep an eye on the crown, cap, and flashing on those homes to keep water out.
How far is Round Lake from your base?
Round Lake is about 19 minutes from our McHenry base, so we schedule promptly, 7 days a week. For a live fire, CO alarm, or gas smell, call 911 or your gas utility first.
