Dayton has hot and humid summers and cool winters with highly variable seasonal snowfall. Due to its elevation and distance from the Chesapeake Bay, temperatures in Dayton are often considerably lower than in eastern parts of Maryland, especially at night. Frequent freeze-thaw cycles, higher than average snowfall, and more frequent use of fireplaces in Dayton means Dayton chimneys often require service more frequently than in other areas of the region. If you notice cracking of your chimney crown, crumbling mortar, funny odors, or debris in your fireplace, call Fire-Safe Chimney Sweeps today for an inspection and cleaning. We can diagnose and repair any maintenance issues to keep your chimney and fireplace burning safely and trouble-free. Unlike many chimney firms who send out unskilled laborers, Fire-Safe sends a Master Stone Mason—our owner—on every job.

Did you know? The Dayton postal office operated from July 21, 1864 to present with only brief stops in service during the American Civil War. By 1878, Dayton had expanded to three general stores and a wheelwright shop. Maloney’s General Store, built shortly after the Civil War, served as a stagecoach stop and was later owned by Royal Harp III, Thomas Isaacs, Mr White, and the Grant Family. Dayton’s two room school house once located along Green Bridge Road is now on property owned by RLO Contractors.
