The Best Chimney Sweep & Repair in Lexington, Hamburg, Andover & Beaumont

Lexington is Kentucky's second-largest city and the unmistakable capital of the Bluegrass — horse farms stretching in every direction, the University of Kentucky anchoring the south side, and a downtown that's grown steadily into one of the most desirable urban centers in the country. Fayette County's housing stock spans every era of American residential building: federal-period homes downtown and in Gratz Park, Victorian and Craftsman houses across Chevy Chase and Ashland Park, mid-century neighborhoods through Lansdowne and Gardenside, and continuing newer construction in Hamburg, Beaumont, and the developments stretching toward Versailles Road.

Ace Chimney, Fireplace & Outdoor Living serves all of Fayette County and our technicians are in neighborhoods there on a daily basis. Among our credentials are our CSIA-certified technicians, NCSG membership, BBB accreditation, and decades of continuous operation.

Older Lexington homes — particularly the historic properties throughout downtown and in the established neighborhoods — present the kind of chimney work that rewards experience and punishes shortcuts. Older masonry doesn't respond well to modern hard mortar. Victorian chimneys often have multiple flues serving multiple fireboxes throughout the house. Craftsman-era homes feature distinctive brick and stone work that needs careful matching when repairs are needed. 

The newer construction throughout Hamburg, Beaumont, and the developments east and south of the city brings prefabricated fireplace systems with their own service requirements. Knowing what you're looking at — and knowing what each type of chimney needs and what it doesn't — is what separates a reliable chimney company from a guess-and-hope operation. Family owned, Kentucky-based, and serving Lexington with the same standards we apply across the rest of our service area, we are Kentucky's best and ask that you trust your chimney and fireplace with us.

Chimney & Fireplace Services in Fayette County

Ace Chimney Sweep covers the full range of chimney and fireplace work throughout Fayette County. Chimney sweep and cleaning service removes creosote buildup that accumulates with every fire burned — essential annual maintenance for any wood-burning system, and increasingly recommended for gas installations to keep components clean and operating safely.

Chimney inspection handles the spectrum from routine Level 1 annual review through Level 2 video-scanned inspections used in real estate transactions and post-event damage assessment. Lexington's strong real estate market generates regular demand for prompt, documented inspection reports, particularly for the older homes downtown and in the historic neighborhoods where chimney condition can significantly affect closing timelines.

Chimney repair work spans chimney masonry repair and tuckpointing — with mortar mixes matched to historic and modern construction alike — chimney crown repair and replacement, chimney flashing repair, and chimney relining with stainless steel or cast-in-place systems. Fayette County's older homes often need careful repair work that matches the original construction; our technicians have the experience to do it right.

Chimney cap installation and chase cover replacement protect the top of the chimney. Fireplace repair covers firebox refractory panels, gas valves, log sets, dampers, and the components that wear out over years of regular use. New fireplace installation — wood, gas, pellet, electric — and fireplace inserts for high-efficiency conversion round out the service offering.
