Chimney with a ladder set up for service, similar to homes throughout St. Louis Park, MN

ASH Chimney has served St. Louis Park since 2014, a city that's grown alongside new mixed-use development and business corridors, without losing its older residential neighborhoods. We work on everything from 1970s and 80s split-levels with original masonry chimneys to newer construction with prefab metal systems and gas inserts, and each type of job gets the same attention. It's a diverse mix of home ages, and we know the difference between what a 50-year-old chimney needs and what a 10-year-old one does.

St. Louis Park's older neighborhoods have a solid stock of split-level and rambler homes from the 1970s and 80s, many with original masonry chimneys that have held up well but still need regular attention after decades of Minnesota's freeze-thaw winters — spalling brick, aging crowns, and mortar joints due for repointing are all common finds. The newer subdivisions near those business corridors lean toward prefab metal chimneys and direct-vent gas fireplaces, which need a different kind of inspection focused on venting and clearances rather than masonry. We service both regularly and know what tends to go wrong with each.

Every St. Louis Park job starts with a full inspection and a written estimate before repair work begins, whether it's an older masonry chimney or a newer gas insert. Our technicians are professionally trained and hold every job to NFPA 211 fire code standards. Pricing is flat-fee with no surprise add-ons. Our $199 winter sweep special covers a full rotary sweep and a free inspection, a solid starting point for most St. Louis Park chimneys.
