About Shelton Chimney Solutions

Our Story

Shelton Chimney Solutions was founded to bring a more attentive, homeowner-first approach to chimney care in Fairfield and New Haven Counties. We saw the same issues over and over: rushed appointments, messy workspaces, and “band-aid” fixes that didn’t survive a single winter. We set out to do things differently—spending the time to diagnose the whole venting system, investing in the right cleaning equipment, and using building-science principles to solve performance problems like smoke spillage and cold downdrafts.

Today, our routes are intentionally focused on Shelton, CT. Staying local means tighter appointment windows, faster follow-ups, and technicians who truly understand the area’s home styles—from classic brick chimneys on colonials to factory-built systems in newer developments. It also means we stand behind our work. If something doesn’t look or perform the way it should, we make it right.

What We Stand For

• Safety first: We follow NFPA guidance and manufacturer specifications, with proper clearances and correct materials.
• Clean, respectful work: Floor protection, localized containment, and HEPA vacuums are standard on every sweep.
• Transparent pricing: Clear estimates and no surprise add-ons. You’ll know what we’re doing and why before work begins.
• Long-term thinking: We recommend repairs that prevent repeat issues—like rebuilding a crown with the correct slope and drip edge rather than patching a failing mortar wash.
• Local accountability: Our name is on the line in the community we serve. We answer the phone and we show up.

How We Work

Every appointment starts with a quick walk-through to understand your goals—reduced smoke, stopping a leak, getting ready for the season, or planning an appliance upgrade. We cover floors, set containment if needed, and stage tools to keep the workspace organized. During sweeping, we use properly sized brushes and flexible rods to clean the firebox, smoke chamber, and flue, while HEPA vacuums capture loosened soot and creosote. On the roof, we assess the crown, cap, masonry joints, and visible flashing for water entry points.

We then review photos with you and provide a written summary. If repairs are needed, we outline options with clear scopes, materials, and timelines. For masonry work, we color-match mortar, rebuild crowns with fiber-reinforced concrete, and integrate stainless flashing and caps for long-term protection. For installations, we focus on venting design and clearances, relining where required, and finishing the hearth so it looks great and performs safely.
