The Best for Chimney Sweep & Repair in Elizabethtown, Radcliff & Vine Grove

Hardin County was carved from Nelson County in 1792, the year Kentucky became a state. It's the commonwealth's fourth-largest county by land area, sixth-largest by population, and home to Fort Knox — a place whose name carries weight far beyond its famous gold vault. Hardin County's history runs deep, and the homes that fill its towns reflect that range, from antebellum farmhouses outside Elizabethtown to the steady residential growth around Radcliff and Vine Grove in the north, Cecilia and and Glendale in the south.

Ace Chimney, Fireplace & Outdoor Living has worked across Hardin County for decades. Our service area covers Elizabethtown, Radcliff, Rineyville, Vine Grove, Cecilia, Sonora, and Glendale — the last of which still has some of the best antique stores and restaurants in central Kentucky. From the older neighborhoods around downtown Elizabethtown to the newer developments along the U.S. 31W corridor and Ring Road, our trucks have been part of Hardin County's residential service landscape well before the BRAC boom.

Hardin County's housing stock spans every category we work on. Military families rotating through Fort Knox might have to deal with deferred chimney maintenance from previous owners. Long-tenure residents in Elizabethtown's older neighborhoods own brick chimneys that have been venting fires for a century or more. Newer construction in Radcliff and Vine Grove brings prefabricated fireplace systems that need specific service approaches. Whatever's in your home, we've seen it before.

We're family owned, we've been doing this for more than four decades, and we treat every job in Hardin County like the recommendation that follows it could come from anyone — because in a county this tight-knit, it usually does. We ask that you consider the certified pros from our family-owned business to take care of your home.

Chimney & Fireplace Services in Hardin County

Our CSIA-certified technicians handle the full range of chimney and fireplace work throughout Hardin County. Chimney sweep and cleaning service is the foundation — clearing creosote buildup that accumulates with every fire burned and removing animal nests, debris, and other obstructions that develop in unprotected flues.

Chimney repair and masonry work covers the structural side. Tuckpointing replaces deteriorated mortar joints before water damage compounds. Chimney crown repair or full replacement protects the brick below from freeze-thaw cycles. Chimney flashing repair stops roof leaks at the joint where chimney meets shingle. Chimney relining — with stainless steel or cast-in-place systems — restores older flue systems to code.

Chimney cap installation and chase cover replacement protect the top of the chimney from rain, animals, and wind. Fireplace repair handles cracked firebox panels, failed gas valves, log set replacement, and damper repair. New fireplace installation includes wood-burning, gas, pellet, and electric units, plus inserts that convert existing fireplaces to high-efficiency operation.

From a single chimney sweep to a complete fireplace remodel with a new gas insert, Ace Chimney has Hardin County covered.
