We’re growing and looking for hands-on, mechanically talented individuals to join our team. This is a true skilled-trade career — not just sweeping chimneys. You’ll work on everything from technical gas and pellet stove repairs to full chimney rebuilds, new fireplace installations, and beautiful stone veneer work. If you’re good with your hands, enjoy construction-style projects, and have solid troubleshooting skills, we can teach you the chimney-specific side through our structured apprenticeship program. We value people who are driven to grow, take pride in quality craftsmanship, and want to advance into lead or senior roles. Position Summary This is a physically active, technical, and construction-oriented role. You will diagnose and repair complex heating appliances and perform hands-on installation and rebuild work. The ideal candidate has mechanical aptitude from construction, HVAC, automotive, appliance repair, or general trades and is comfortable learning both the technical and masonry sides of the business. Key Responsibilities Diagnose, service, and repair gas and pellet stoves (electronics, ignition systems, venting, etc.) Inspect chimneys and fireplaces (Level 1–3 inspections) and perform chimney sweeps Rebuild and repair chimneys (full tear-downs, crown work, flue repairs) Install new fireplaces and wood-burning / gas / pellet insert systems Install stone veneer on fireplaces, chimneys, and exterior features Perform masonry repairs including tuckpointing, brick replacement, dampers, caps, and liners Troubleshoot technical issues across fireplaces, stoves, and venting systems Provide honest recommendations, create estimates, and deliver excellent customer service Maintain accurate records and follow all safety protocols What We’re Looking For We prioritize real-world talent with tools in your hands over prior chimney experience. Required: Strong mechanical aptitude and proven experience diagnosing/repairing equipment (electronics, HVAC, vehicles, appliances, or similar) Hands-on construction or trade background (carpentry, masonry, general construction, etc.) Comfortable working at heights, climbing ladders, and in confined spaces Ability to lift up to 80 lbs and use power tools daily Reliable, accountable, and motivated to grow and eventually lead High school diploma or equivalent Valid driver’s license with clean driving record and reliable transportation Preferred (we provide paid training): Experience with gas systems, electrical diagnosis, or masonry/stone work Any relevant certifications (CSIA, NFI, NCSG, etc.) Background installing fireplaces, stone veneer, or doing chimney rebuilds Apprenticeship & Training No chimney experience? That’s okay. If you have solid hands-on skills and a strong desire to learn, our apprenticeship program will train you step-by-step and support you in earning industry certifications. What We Offer Competitive Compensation: Hourly base + performance incentives. Skilled, driven technicians commonly earn $60,000 – $80,000+ per year Benefits: Medical Insurance after 90 days IRA Retirement Plan with 3% match after 1 year Company work vehicle (for job use) Paid Time Off (PTO) and Paid Holidays Paid training, certifications, tools, uniforms, and safety equipment Stable, year-round local work with variety (service, repairs, installations, and rebuilds) Supportive team environment with nearly 40 years in business Ready to Build a Rewarding Trade Career? If you’re a motivated, hands-on problem solver who enjoys both technical diagnostics and construction-style work (installing fireplaces, stone veneer, and rebuilding chimneys), we want to hear from you.
