Andrew & Sons Chimney provides chimney sweep services in Newtown, including annual chimney sweep & cleaning, level 1, 2 & 3 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 Newtown and nearby areas.
A professional chimney sweep is the single most cost-effective thing a Newtown homeowner can do for fireplace safety. Our certified technicians use commercial-grade rotary brushes and HEPA-filtered vacuums to remove all levels of creosote buildup, soot, and nesting debris from your flue liner, smoke chamber, and firebox. We lay drop cloths, seal the firebox opening, and keep your living space spotless throughout. Every sweep includes a visual check of visible components so nothing gets missed. We quote a flat rate upfront — no hidden add-ons after the job starts. Most single-flue sweeps are completed in under 90 minutes, making it easy to fit into a busy Newtown schedule without taking a full day off work.
Request this service →Not every chimney inspection carries the same depth or value. Andrew & Sons performs all three NFPA 211 inspection levels, and we explain precisely which one your situation requires before you agree to anything. A Level 1 inspection covers accessible components during a routine sweep. A Level 2 — required when selling a Newtown home or after a chimney fire — adds video scanning of the entire flue with a recorded report you can share with your real estate agent or insurance company. A Level 3 is reserved for serious structural concerns. Every report is written, itemized, and delivered digitally. You'll never be handed a vague verbal assessment and pressured to authorize expensive repairs on the spot.
Request this service →A damaged or undersized flue liner is one of the leading causes of chimney fires and carbon monoxide intrusion in Connecticut homes. Andrew & Sons installs flexible stainless steel liners, rigid liner systems, and cast-in-place liners for all fuel types — wood, gas, and oil appliances. Before we recommend any liner, we run a camera inspection to confirm the exact problem and measure the flue dimensions. We then provide a written, itemized quote so you can compare us against other Newtown contractors with confidence. Our liner installations include a manufacturer-backed warranty plus our own labor guarantee. We'll never suggest a full liner replacement when a targeted repair will safely solve the problem — that's the honest approach that keeps our customers coming back.
Request this service →Connecticut winters are brutal on masonry. Freeze-thaw cycles that hit Newtown between November and March pry open small crown cracks, letting water migrate deep into the chimney structure and causing damage far more expensive than the original fix. Andrew & Sons repairs and replaces chimney crowns using professional-grade hydraulic cement and elastomeric sealants rated for New England weather. We also fabricate and install stainless steel and copper chimney caps to block rain, snow, and wildlife intrusion year-round. Every cap is sized to your flue dimensions — not grabbed off a shelf and forced to fit. Pricing is straightforward: we assess, quote in writing, and schedule the repair on a timeline that works for your budget and the season.
Request this service →Deteriorating mortar joints are easy to ignore but expensive to neglect. Once water penetrates failing mortar on a Newtown chimney, it accelerates brick spalling, damages the smoke chamber, and can compromise the entire chimney structure in just a few Connecticut winters. Our masons grind out damaged mortar to the proper depth and pack in color-matched, weather-resistant mortar using traditional tuckpointing techniques. We also address spalled or cracked bricks, smoke chamber parging, and firebox refractory panel replacement. Before any masonry work begins, you receive a written scope of work with line-item pricing. We prioritize repairs that deliver the highest safety value per dollar — so if only three feet of tuckpointing are needed, that's all we quote.
Request this service →The U.S. Fire Administration cites clogged dryer vents as a cause of nearly 2,900 home fires annually. While we're servicing your chimney in Newtown, adding a dryer vent cleaning is one of the most cost-effective safety upgrades you can make — and bundling it with a chimney sweep saves you a separate service call fee. Our technicians use flexible auger brushes and high-powered vacuums to clear lint from the entire vent run, from the dryer drum all the way to the exterior cap. We also inspect the vent termination cap for damage or blockage. If your dryer has been taking longer than usual to finish a cycle, that's a warning sign. We'll give you an honest assessment and a fair quote before we start.
