American Chimney and Masonry

What American Chimney and Masonry does

American Chimney and Masonry, Inc. is a privately held, Portland, Oregon-based chimney and masonry service provider founded in 1989. The company delivers inspection, sweeping, repair, and fireplace installation services to residential homeowners across the Portland-Metro area (Clackamas, Multnomah, and Washington counties), with select commercial and institutional engagements including Timberline Lodge (a National Historic Landmark on Mt. Hood) and Wind River Trust's Carson Lodge in Washington. Service is delivered by CSIA- and OCSA-certified technicians using industry-standard diagnostic tools, including chimney video inspection systems, and the company positions itself as a one-stop shop across the full chimney lifecycle.

The core product portfolio spans six primary categories: chimney sweeping and inspection, masonry services (new construction, restoration, repointing, brick repair, waterproofing), chimney leak repair, fireplace and insert installation (gas, electric, wood), chimney caps and guards, and chimney relining. The company is a preferred installer of Regency Fireplace Products and offers factory-built, Isokern modular masonry, and pellet stove units as adjacent product lines. Operations are job-shop-based: customers contact the company via phone (503-644-0393) or website to schedule appointments, technicians perform services on-site, and pricing is unit-based with public rates of $199 for inspection and $249 for chimney sweeping (subject to seasonal promo codes such as SUMMER2026).

Revenue is generated almost entirely through professional services, with project financing made available through Regions/EnerBank USA for jobs up to $65,000. The company operates with 1-10 employees, has served 19,000+ customers since founding, and has no disclosed funding, parent company, or M&A activity. There are no software products, APIs, or AI/ML capabilities; the business model is fundamentally labor-intensive local service delivery rather than technology-enabled.

Broad incumbents

• ServiceMaster Restore: National home services company spanning restoration, cleaning, and maintenance across residential and commercial properties. Overlaps with American Chimney on residential maintenance services and represents a broad incumbent competitor for larger accounts.

Others

• Porch Group: Home services software and marketplace platform serving contractors and homeowners. Adjacent in the chimney services ecosystem as a software/infrastructure enabler for trades businesses rather than a direct competitor.

Regional players
