A regional chimney and fireplace service company with roots dating back nearly four decades is continuing to build on its reputation for reliability and customer care.
Gray Cat Chimney, founded in 1987 by a local couple, was established with a goal of providing dependable chimney and fireplace services to homeowners. Company officials said that commitment to quality work and customer relationships has helped the business grow into a trusted name across the region.
In 2019, the company entered a new chapter under the ownership of Scott and Jeremiah, who now lead daily operations. Scott, a U.S. Coast Guard veteran and Chimney Safety Institute of America (CSIA) certified technician, brings technical expertise and a service-oriented background to the business.
Company leaders said they remain focused on maintaining the values that have guided Gray Cat Chimney since its founding, including honesty, attention to detail, and treating customers like family.
Gray Cat Chimney offers a wide range of services centered on chimney, fireplace, and masonry care. Those services include chimney inspections, sweeping and cleaning, repairs, relining, and installation of chimney caps and dampers. The company also provides fireplace installation, repair, and conversion services, along with routine cleaning and maintenance.
In addition, the business specializes in masonry work such as brick and stone repair, tuckpointing, waterproofing, and full construction or restoration projects.
Company representatives emphasized the importance of regular chimney inspections and maintenance, noting that buildup of creosote, soot, and debris can create fire hazards or restrict airflow. Early detection of issues such as cracks or structural damage can help prevent more serious problems and improve overall safety.
Gray Cat Chimney also offers dryer vent cleaning services, which officials said can reduce fire risk and improve energy efficiency by removing lint buildup that can accumulate over time.
With more than 30 years of experience, company leaders said their goal remains to provide homeowners with peace of mind through safe, efficient, and high-quality service.
