Eds Brothers Chimney provides chimney sweep services in Barrington, including annual chimney sweep & cleaning, level i, ii & iii chimney inspections, chimney liner installation & repair, and more. Every job is handled by licensed, insured technicians with upfront written pricing, and backed by a workmanship guarantee — free estimates for all of Barrington and nearby areas.
A yearly chimney sweep is the single most cost-effective fireplace maintenance task you can do. Our certified technicians remove accumulated creosote, soot, blockages, and animal debris from your flue lining, smoke chamber, and firebox — restoring proper draft and reducing fire risk. We use professional-grade rotary brushes and HEPA-filtered vacuums so your Barrington living room stays clean throughout the process. We quote a flat rate upfront so there's no anxiety about the final invoice. Most sweeps are completed in under 90 minutes. We also document the condition of your chimney before and after, giving you a written record you can file with your homeowner's insurance or reference at resale.
Request this service →Not every inspection is created equal, and understanding which level you actually need saves money. A Level I visual inspection suits regularly maintained fireplaces and is included free with every sweep. A Level II inspection — required when you sell or buy a Barrington home, change fuel types, or after a chimney fire — includes camera scanning of the entire flue. Level III inspections address concealed damage and are reserved for serious structural concerns. We explain exactly which level fits your situation before you commit. Our written reports are detailed, photographed, and formatted to satisfy real estate attorneys and insurance adjusters throughout Rhode Island — no vague one-page checklists.
Request this service →A damaged or missing liner is the leading reason Barrington homeowners face expensive repairs down the road. Heat and gases that contact unlined or cracked masonry can deteriorate mortar joints rapidly, particularly in older homes near the Barrington waterfront where freeze-thaw cycles are intense. We install UL-listed stainless steel flexible and rigid liners sized precisely to your appliance's BTU output — not whatever happens to be on the truck. We also repair clay tile liners with HeatShield resurfacing, a cost-effective alternative to full relining when damage is moderate. Every liner installation carries a written workmanship warranty and we walk you through maintenance expectations so the liner delivers its full rated lifespan.
Request this service →A cracked chimney crown or missing chimney cap might look minor, but Rhode Island's wet winters mean water intrusion begins immediately and compounds every season. We inspect crowns, caps, and dampers on every visit and give you a frank assessment: if it can wait, we'll tell you. If it needs attention now, we'll show you exactly why with photos and explain the cost-versus-risk tradeoff so you can make an informed decision. Damper replacement is straightforward and typically more affordable than homeowners expect. We stock stainless steel and copper caps in standard sizes for same-visit installation, and we fabricate custom caps for Barrington's wider or non-standard flue openings. No markups disguised as 'specialty fees.'
Request this service →Barrington's coastal climate accelerates mortar joint deterioration faster than inland Rhode Island communities. Spalling brick, eroded mortar, and leaning chimney stacks are not cosmetic issues — they're structural ones that worsen with every freeze-thaw cycle. Our masons match mortar composition and color to your existing chimney so repairs blend seamlessly, preserving your home's curb appeal in Barrington's historic neighborhoods. We don't recommend full rebuilds when targeted tuckpointing will solve the problem. We'll photograph the affected areas, explain the repair scope, and give you a written estimate broken into parts and labor so you understand exactly where your money goes. Catching deterioration early consistently costs a fraction of what neglected masonry eventually demands.
Request this service →A clogged dryer vent is one of the leading causes of residential fires in Rhode Island, yet most homeowners never schedule a cleaning. Lint buildup restricts airflow, forces your dryer to run longer cycles, and creates a combustion hazard that standard chimney sweeps don't cover. Ed's Brothers Chimney offers professional dryer vent cleaning as a standalone service or bundled with your annual sweep for a reduced rate. We clear the entire duct run from the dryer cabinet to the exterior termination cap, removing lint, bird nesting material, and any crushed sections. The result is faster drying times, lower utility bills, and significantly reduced fire risk — a genuinely valuable service for the modest cost involved.
