The Chimney Doctor – Certified, Premium Hearth & Chimney Specialists

At The Chimney Doctor, we specialize in inspections, repairs, and restoration of high-end fireplaces, chimneys, and hearth systems.
What began in Grand Junction now serves Colorado’s premier mountain communities, where safety, craftsmanship, and certified expertise matter most.

Founded in 2016 by Daniel Freeman, The Chimney Doctor was built on a commitment to problem-solving, education, and protecting homes through industry-leading standards—not low-quality service or high volume.

Who We Serve

Our team provides certified inspection, repair, and restoration services for:

✔ Luxury mountain homes and custom stone/masonry systems
✔ Multi-flue and complex chimney structures
✔ Real estate transactions and documentation-required inspections
✔ Fire-damaged or non-compliant fireplaces and chimneys
✔ Homeowners who value thoroughness over convenience or cost

Our Service Model

Premium Service. Priority ZIP Codes. No Compromise on Safety.

To maintain quality and protect technician bandwidth, we operate on a selective service model:

• Priority Service Zones (Tier 1): Snowmass Village, Aspen, Telluride, Vail, Basalt, Carbondale and surrounding mountain communities
• Other Areas: Served on a limited-availability basis and only when scheduling allows
• If a location falls outside current service blocks: We will notify the client or refer them to another certified provider

This ensures that every appointment receives the time, attention, and professionalism required for certified-level inspection and repair.

Our Core Values

Every inspection, every repair, and every report is guided by our Core Values:

1. INTEGRITY: We believe that integrity is foundational to satisfaction and happiness in life. We believe it is demonstrated as we fulfill our agreements and consistently exceed our promised performances in happy, healthy, and respectful ways that lift and develop both ourselves, our customers, and our families.
2. RESPECT: The greatest gift we give others is the gift of our whole and undivided presence. Whether at home or work we believe that respecting others, and ourselves, is a key to success in both our business and personal lives. As we respect ourselves and others we will discover a new power within us that will aid us in consistently exceeding all expectations placed upon us
3. EDUCATION: Education is at the very core of who we are and what we do. We believe in consistent, dedicated, engaged, motivated, and energetically involved continuing education. We believe that it is our continued education both professionally and personally which will allow us to better serve our families and customers in ways that lift, bless, inspire, and serve. 
4. EXCELLENCE: We are what we do repeatedly. Excellence is not an act, but a habit. At the core of everything we do is an understanding that to excel in our lives we need to excel in our careers. We pursue excellence in everything we do, from inspection, repair and installation, to every communication of which we are a part, and every job completed. By incorporating these core values in our work and daily lives we provide the highest quality experience for ourselves and every one of our clients. Excellence is an attitude, a choice we make every day to show that we are outstanding and dedicated to who we are and what we do.
