In Longmont, a wood stove or fireplace is not decoration — it is real heat through dry, intense cold and big day-night swings. We diagnose on the spot, repair with real parts, and test-fire before we leave. Same-day service, every day, 8 AM to 8 PM.

The six services Longmont homeowners call us for most — from a gas fireplace that will not stay lit at altitude, to a wood flue loaded with pine creosote that needs a proper cleaning.
Repair
Fireplace Repair
Any fireplace, any failure — diagnosed first, then fixed with the right parts. If it lights sometimes, clicks without lighting, or quits when the wind picks up, we trace the fault to the part — not the guess.

Thermopile, thermocouple, valve or board — tested at your elevation, and replaced only if it failed. Pilot that won't stay lit, dead remote, weak or lazy flame: gas systems diagnosed safely and repaired to code.

Fireplace Cleaning
Soot, dust and that stale closed-up smell removed from the firebox, glass and burner — the full creosote removal a wood fireplace needs after a season of burning pine.

Fireplace Inspection
Firebox, flue, venting and controls checked end to end, with a plain-language report. At elevation we also check the altitude setup, venting and snow damage most inspections skip.

Install & Replace
Fireplace Installation
A new gas fireplace or an outdoor fire feature, done right: sizing, venting, gas and electric runs, finishing — one crew, start to first fire. In Longmont that often means a high-efficiency insert fitted for real heat, not just looks.

A fireplace in Longmont works at elevation, in dry cold and wide temperature swings few other regions see. Altitude, pine smoke, snow and long idle months in second homes do the damage here — this is what we check on every visit.
Mountain and foothill homes burn what grows here — pine and other softwoods — and softwood smoke lays down creosote faster than hardwood does, especially in slow, overnight burns. In Longmont that buildup is the main flue-fire risk we clean out. If you burn daily for heat, an annual cleaning is the minimum, not the maximum.
A Longmont winter day can swing from hard freeze to thaw and back by nightfall. That cycling works moisture in and out of masonry, stresses metal venting, and makes a cold flue draft poorly at startup — the classic puff of smoke into the room. We read those startup problems as venting and temperature clues, not mysteries.
Heavy snow sits on caps, bends lightweight covers, and can bury low vent terminations on direct-vent units in Boulder County. A buried or crushed vent means poor draft, soot and shutdowns right when you need heat most. After big storms we check caps and terminations first — before assuming a part inside has failed.
Plenty of Longmont buyers — and plenty of cabin buyers — inherit a fireplace or stove they know nothing about: no service history, no idea whether the altitude setup or the flue is right. An inspection before the first fire tells you exactly what you have, what is safe, and what needs doing first.

At least once a year if you burn regularly — and sooner if wood heat is a main heat source. Pine and other local softwoods lay down creosote quickly, and slow overnight burns make it worse. In Longmont, daily burners can build a risky layer in a single season, so do not stretch cleanings to every other year.
Yes. Gas appliances are rated and adjusted for an elevation range, and a unit set up for low elevation will burn dirty, soot the glass, and struggle to keep a pilot at Longmont elevation. The gas and air setup has to match the altitude it will actually run at — we check and adjust that as part of any installation or repair.
Usually a cold flue. Overnight mountain cold fills the flue with heavy, sinking air, and the first smoke cannot push it up — so it spills into the room until the flue warms. A blocked cap or snow around the vent makes it worse. A tech checks the flue, cap and draft, and shows you a startup routine that warms the flue first.
At altitude, a gas flame that is not adjusted for elevation burns cooler and dirtier, and soot on the glass is often the first visible sign. Dusty burners and shifted logs make it worse. Cleaning the glass alone treats the symptom — a tech cleans the burner, checks the log placement, and verifies the altitude setup so it stays clean longer.
Yes — gas inserts and log sets are the most common conversion we do in Longmont, and at altitude the new unit gets set up for elevation from day one. An insert is the efficient route: sealed, remote-lit, and no creosote or hauling wood. Start with a free estimate and we will measure your firebox and walk through the options honestly.
No — and be wary of anyone who does. Every fireplace fails differently, so a phone price is a guess that changes at your door. Our estimates are free: a tech looks at the actual problem, then gives you one clear price before any work starts.
