Our Story
Since 1992, we’ve been offering our Chicago area customers the very best in personalized service and outstanding workmanship. Our story began in the mid-nineties when two business partners decided to open their own chimney company to serve their local area. The business originally offered services like repairs, cleanings, and inspections with the goal of adding value and longevity to their customers homes.
After listening to the unique needs of local homeowners over the years, our founders noticed a need to extend their offerings to include fireplaces and outdoor living items. Other stores at the time were not customer friendly, clean, or modern. This problem sparked the idea for Fireplace and Chimney Authority as we experience it today.
Today our two locations are not only the most customer centric in the industry, our unwavering commitment to offering an ultra-extensive experience is second to none. Our knowledgeable team of industry experts takes every customer from the beginning design stages to purchase and installation with confidence and ease. However, our value does not end after purchase. We appreciate every customer and strive to maintain integral lasting relationships. As a result, our clients feel comfortable calling our trusted team for annual inspections and maintenance for years to come.
Mission
Because our company began with a loyalty to serving our local community, we keep transparency at the core of what do. Our primary concern is always your safety and satisfaction, just as if you were our own family. We whole heartedly believe that every person we serve in our locations deserves nothing short of our best. Fireplace and Chimney Authority is passionate incorporating our values below into every area of our business.
