Century Chimney Sweep and Repair

10/26/2026

Welcome to the Century Chimney family, Jordeyn M!

We are incredibly excited to announce the addition of Jordeyn to our team. Jordeyn joins us as a standout track and field scholar-athlete. In high school, Jordeyn was an elite sprinter and a Conference Champion who helped set school and meet records in the 4x100m and 4x200m relays.

Just like he brought blistering speed and dedication to the track, we know he is going to bring that same elite work ethic, teamwork, and drive to our service team.

At Century Chimney, we do things the right way. We aren’t a tech platform or a third-party subcontractor network. We are a real, local brick-and-mortar shop. Every single one of our team members is a real W2 employee, and we fully invest in our people by ensuring our technicians get trained and certified. When we show up at your home, you are getting trained, trusted professionals every time.
Jordeyn and the rest of our crew are ready to keep homes safe all across town.

Whether you are in the Western Suburbs (including Westlake, Avon Lake, Lakewood, and North Olmsted) or over in the Eastern Suburbs (like Solon, Cleveland Heights, Shaker Heights, and Beachwood), or south in suburbs like Strongsville, Hinckley, and Medina, Century Chimney has you covered.

Help us give Jordeyn a massive welcome in the comments!

🧱 Here are some pictures of our Century Chimney work family keeping homes safe and warm last week! 🏡✨

Our dedicated local crews had an incredibly busy week out on the roads. We were proud to serve homeowners across the Greater Cleveland area. Just last week, you might have seen our trucks out doing expert field work in:

📋 Avon Lake, Bay Village, and Brecksville
🦝 Brooklyn, Fairview Park, and Highland Heights
🧱 Lakewood, North Olmsted, and North Ridgeville
🛡️ Parma, Seven Hills, and Solon
🏡 Strongsville and Westlake

Our team was hard at work tackling a massive variety of essential chimney services, including:

• 🧹 Thorough Chimney Cleanings & Safety Inspections: Catching hidden hazards before you light your first fire.
• 🏗️ Complete Chimney Rebuilds: Restoring deteriorating brickwork and structural integrity to keep your roof and home safe.
• 🛡️ Stainless Steel Liner Installations: We installed premium liners for both traditional fireplaces and gas-fueled appliances like furnaces and water heaters.

⚠️ Did you know? Unlined or improperly lined chimneys attached to gas appliances are highly susceptible to hidden danger. The exhaust from modern furnaces and water heaters creates high levels of acidic condensation. Without a proper stainless steel liner, this moisture seeps directly into your brickwork, causing rapid decay, crumbling mortar, and structural failure from the inside out!
We are a truly local, family-owned business—never a third-party lead generator or an outsourced franchise. When you hire us, you get our actual, highly-trained work family who treats your home like their own.

🏡 Chagrin Falls Project Spotlight: Total Chimney Restoration! 🛠️

We want to give a massive shout-out and thank you to our lovely customers on Fairway Trail in Chagrin Falls for trusting Century Chimney Sweep & Repair with this major multi-chimney restoration!

Our team recently performed a level 2 safety and camera inspection at their beautiful home and uncovered a few hidden hazards that made the fireplace unsafe to use.

To get everything safely firing up again and completely up to NFPA 211 and IRC safety codes, we are jumping into a massive top-to-bottom project across their three chimney systems:

🔥 The Left Chimney (Full Code Compliance Upgrade):Performing a complete tile break to remove old, deteriorating clay liners. Installing a brand-new, heavy-wall stainless steel liner system (contingent with a lifetime warranty!). Reshaping and parging the defective smoke chamber smooth with Chamber Safe Refractory Mortar. Insulating the entire chimney around the liner with Thermix masonry insulation. Pouring a new concrete crown and installing a top-tier Energy Top Plus Damper System.

🧱 The Middle & Right Chimneys (Waterproofing & Masonry Preservation):
*Erecting 5 tiers of scaffolding to safely access and spot-tuckpoint missing mortar joints from the roofline up.
*Applying a protective crown coat to seal out moisture and stop the brutal Ohio freeze-and-thaw cycle from cracking the brickwork. *Coating the exterior brick with a premium water repellent (backed by a 10-year warranty!) to keep the masonry porous-free and safe from spalling.

When it comes to your fireplace, what you can't see can hurt you. Our high-tech camera scans are designed to catch gaps, cracks, and safety hazards before they turn into a major emergency.

We are so grateful for the opportunity to serve families right here in Greater Cleveland, keeping homes safe, warm, and beautiful one brick at a time.

Nice reaction time on that one Matt! Safety first.

🦝 Is your chimney accidentally a woodland hotel?

Right now, we are finding a lot of uninvited guests—especially raccoons—making themselves at home inside local chimneys. This time of year, mama raccoons love the warm, dark, and safe environment of an open flue to raise their families. Birds too. Chimney Swifts are laying their eggs and raising their young in chimneys across Cleveland and northeast Ohio suburbs.

The easiest way to keep wildlife outside where they belong?
A high-quality chimney cap.

Here are a few things to keep in mind:

Don't forget the furnace flue! Many homeowners cap their main fireplace but leave the utility/furnace flue wide open. Birds, squirrels, and raccoons can fall down these pipes just as easily, blocking critical ventilation.

Stop the sparks: They act as a spark arrestor in the winter months when you are having fires, keeping hot embers off your roof. 🔥

⚠️ A Quick Warning About "Local" Chimney Companies:Lately, the internet is flooded with national lead-generation websites. They look local, but they are just out-of-state call centers that sell your information and send out unvetted, random subcontractors.

Century Chimney is different:
We are a truly local, family-owned business right here in Northeast Ohio. Our team consists of highly trained, certified technicians who are a permanent part of our work family. We never outsource, meaning you get consistent quality, accountability, and honest service every single time.

Protect your home, your furnace, and the neighborhood wildlife by capping your flues today!

Poured in liner? Don't do it.

Thinking of a poured in masonry liner that some chimney company told you would be a great idea?

Poured-in chimney liners degrade and crack. That is why Century Chimney exclusively installs high-grade stainless steel liners to protect your fireplace, gas furnace, and water heater.

Unlike chimney companies that pour mortar into your flue for a very temporary fix, or companies using cheap, corroding aluminum for your gas appliances, Century Chimney uses stainless steel liners and they are guaranteed for life.

Why Cleveland Homeowners Have Trusted Us Since 1989:

Truly Local: Started in Bay Village (serving all of Cuyahoga and surrounding suburbs) —not a lead-gen site that subs work out to unbadged contractors in unmarked vans.

Certified Pros: Our kind, qualified techs hold elite CCP® and CSIA® certifications.

Advanced Tech: We use Chim-Scan® video cameras for 100% accurate diagnosis.

Top Rated: Over 700 5-star reviews across the Greater Cleveland area.Service

Areas Include:

West: Westlake, Rocky River, Avon, Lakewood

East: Beachwood, Mentor, Cleveland Heights
