How StackGuard Masonry Started
StackGuard Masonry opened in 2022 after our founder spent a decade watching Wellington homeowners get vague answers and surprise bills from out-of-town crews. We started with one truck, a set of chimney rods, and a promise to explain every finding in plain language. Four years later, we are still based in Wellington, Ohio, and we still answer the phone ourselves. That first winter, we cleaned 60 chimneys. Last winter, we cleaned more than 400. The work has grown, but the approach has not changed: show up on time, tell you what we see, and leave the fireplace ready to burn safely.
Our Mission
Our mission is simple: make chimney care in Wellington boring and predictable. You call, we schedule, we arrive when we say, and we tell you exactly what your flue needs. No scare tactics, no pressure to buy a liner you do not need. As a local chimney sweep company Wellington, we measure creosote thickness, check the damper and chimney cap, and show you photos before we recommend anything. When we leave, your fireplace burns clean and your family sleeps easier. That is the whole job.
What We Stand For
Four principles guide every job we run in Wellington and across Lorain County. They are not slogans on a wall. They are the reasons customers call us back year after year.
Honest Findings
We photograph every flue before and after cleaning. If your creosote is at stage 1, we say so and skip the upsell. If we find a damaged flue liner or cracked firebrick, we show you the image and explain the repair in plain terms. You decide. No pressure, no fear.
Clean Job Sites
We lay drop cloths from the front door to the hearth and run a shop vacuum with a HEPA filter the whole time. When we pack up, your living room looks the way it did when we arrived. We have finished jobs in Wellington where the homeowner could not tell we had been there except for the cleaner fireplace.
Certified Technicians
Every technician on our crew holds CSIA Certified Chimney Sweep credentials and follows NFPA 211 standards on every inspection. That matters when your insurance company asks for documentation. We email you a written report with photos the same day, and we keep a copy on file for your records.
Year-Round Availability
Chimney problems do not wait for business hours. We run 24/7 chimney sweep calls for smoke backdraft, chimney odor, and suspected chimney fires. If you smell creosote on a Sunday night in January, call us. We will tell you over the phone whether to evacuate or wait for morning.
