The Best Chimney Sweep & Repair in Louisville, J-town, St. Matthews & Prospect

Jefferson County contains Louisville and most of what people think of when they say "the Louisville area" — the Highlands, Crescent Hill, Old Louisville, the East End, Middletown, Jeffersontown, Saint Matthews, Prospect, and dozens of neighborhoods in between - from Shawnee to Smoketown, Fairdale to Shively. 

Jefferson County's housing stock is as varied as any in Kentucky. Old Louisville's Victorian mansions, the brick foursquares of the Highlands and Crescent Hill, the mid-century ranches across J-Town and Saint Matthews, the estate homes along River Road and out toward Prospect — every era of American residential building shows up somewhere in the Metro. Each comes with its own chimney systems, its own typical wear patterns, and its own service requirements.

Working on that range of houses takes the kind of experience you can't fake. Family owned and headquartered right here, Ace Chimney, Fireplace & Outdoor Living serves every neighborhood, every era of housing, every type of chimney and fireplace system in Louisville, and we have for decades. Trust us with your fireplace and chimney, getting the job done right.

Chimney & Fireplace Services in Louisville & Jefferson County

Ace Chimney, Fireplace & Outdoor Living handles every chimney and fireplace need across Metro Louisville and the Jefferson County cities in between. Chimney sweep and cleaning service removes creosote buildup before it becomes dangerous, and annual cleaning is the foundation of fireplace safety for any home that burns wood. It's increasingly recommended for gas systems as well to clear debris and check operation.

Chimney inspections cover routine annual review (Level 1), detailed assessments for real estate transactions and post-event evaluation (Level 2 with video scanning), and the comprehensive Level 3 inspections required when major repair work is being considered. Louisville's active real estate market generates steady demand for prompt, professional inspection reports.

Chimney repair covers everything from minor masonry repair and tuckpointing to full chimney rebuilding when conditions demand it. Chimney crown repair, chimney flashing repair, chimney relining with stainless steel or cast-in-place systems, chimney cap installation, and chase cover replacement round out the structural service categories.

Fireplace repair addresses worn components — firebox refractory panels, gas valves, ignition systems, log sets, dampers, blowers — across the full range of fireplace types. 

New fireplace and stove installation covers wood-burning, gas, pellet, and electric options from leading manufacturers. Fireplace inserts convert open masonry fireplaces into high-efficiency systems that actually heat the home.

Outdoor living services — outdoor fireplaces, fire pits and fire tables, built-in outdoor grills, and full outdoor kitchen installations — extend the work into the back patio, where Jefferson County homeowners increasingly want the same fireplace ambiance their indoor spaces provide.
