CHIMNEY WORKS

What CHIMNEY WORKS does

Chimney Works & Rocky Mountain Stoves is a privately held, family-owned chimney service and fireplace retail business founded in October 2001 by Steve in Cincinnati, Ohio. Operating under two related brands — Chimney Works for service work and Rocky Mountain Stoves for fireplace sales — the company serves residential homeowners across the Cincinnati metro area, Northern Kentucky, Southeast Indiana, and Dayton, Ohio. It maintains a 12-15 person team of certified technicians, managers, and installers, and operates a single showroom and office at 2450 Civic Center Dr, Cincinnati, OH 45231.

The company's core technical offering is chimney inspection, cleaning, and masonry repair, executed with industry-standard equipment including HD video camera (Chim-Scan) flue inspection systems used to identify broken tiles, missing mortar joints, and voids beyond what visual-only inspection can detect. Its repair capabilities span tuckpointing, flashing repair, crown repair, damper installation, waterproofing, chimney caps, firebox and smoke chamber repair, and liner systems (HeatShield, stainless steel, aluminum). Through its Rocky Mountain Stoves sub-brand, it sells fireplaces, inserts, and stoves as an authorized dealer for Mendota, Regency Hampton, Excalibur, Jotul, Buck, Hearthstone, and Lopi across wood-burning, gas, and electric categories.

Revenue is generated through three transactional streams: (1) one-time professional service revenue from chimney sweeping, inspections, and repairs priced via free on-site estimates; (2) hardware sales of fireplaces, inserts, and stoves financed through Wells Fargo Outdoor Solutions; and (3) a recently launched (2025) propane cylinder exchange and refill service priced per cylinder ($18-$89) or per gallon ($3.79/gal for RV/bulk). Customer acquisition is direct-to-consumer via the company website, phone, and showroom walk-ins, with secondary referral-driven volume from 1,000+ Google reviews (4.7 stars), 100+ Angie's List reviews, and an A+ BBB rating held for over 20 years.
