The Best Chimney Sweep & Repair in Frankfort, Bridgeport & Switzer

Frankfort is Kentucky's state capital and one of the smallest capital cities in the country, about 28,000 residents tucked into a bend of the Kentucky River, with the state Capitol building visible from much of the surrounding county. Franklin County's residential character reflects that mix: the historic downtown district with homes that have been there since well before the Civil War, the established neighborhoods on both sides of the river, and the more recent residential growth in Bridgeport, Switzer, and the rural addresses throughout the county.

Ace Chimney, Fireplace & Outdoor Living serves all of Franklin County. The drive from our fireplace store & showroom takes less than an hour, and our central Kentucky route schedule includes Frankfort on a regular basis. Whatever your home — whether it's one of the antebellum properties in Frankfort's historic core or a more recent build out by the lake — the standards of chimney work don't change.

Older Frankfort homes carry the kind of masonry chimneys that need careful, knowledgeable repair. Some of the brick downtown is older than the Commonwealth itself, and applying modern repair techniques to historic masonry — particularly hard portland-cement mortar to soft historic brick — does more damage than good. Our CSIA-certified technicians know the difference and use materials and methods that match what's actually in front of them, not what would be easiest to apply.

The newer construction throughout Bridgeport and the developments north and east of the city brings prefabricated fireplace systems that require different knowledge — chase cover replacement, factory-built insert installation, and direct-vent piping repair. Mid-century ranches across the established neighborhoods sit somewhere in between, often with original brick chimneys that have been venting fires for sixty years or more.

Working across all of those eras takes the kind of experience four-plus decades of continuous operation produces. Family-owned, CSIA certified, NCSG member, and BBB accredited — Ace Chimney brings the same standards to Franklin County that we bring to every other part of our service area.

We are Kentucky's best, working in Frankfort and the surrounding county.

Chimney sweep and cleaning is the routine maintenance that protects against creosote-fueled chimney fires, with annual frequency recommended for any home that uses its wood-burning fireplace regularly.

Chimney inspection — Level 1 routine review, Level 2 video scanning for real estate or post-event evaluation, and Level 3 comprehensive assessments for major repair planning — documents condition and provides the paperwork buyers, sellers, and insurers need.

Frankfort's historic homes in particular benefit from careful, period-appropriate repair work.
