New Market has a humid subtropical climate with hot and humid summers and cool winters with highly variable seasonal snowfall. Due to its elevation above sea level and distance from the Chesapeake Bay, temperatures in New Market 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 by New Market homeowners means New Market chimneys often require service more frequently than in other areas of Maryland. If you notice cracking of your chimney crown, crumbling mortar, or debris in your fireplace, call Fire-Safe Chimney Sweeps today for your annual inspection and cleaning. We can diagnose and repair any maintenance issues to keep your chimney and fireplace burning trouble-free.

Continuing a Tradition of Olde World Chimney Craftsmanship

With a history dating to 1793, it’s no wonder that New Market is the “Antiques Capital of Maryland.” Lots of old homes means lots of antique contents! That also means that many of New Market’s older homes feature olde world masonry from a time when things were built correctly and with great care. Fire-Safe Chimney Sweeps has decades of expertise in maintaining these historical masonry masterpieces. Our 4th generation family business (owned and operated by Master Mason, Gary Clift, and sons) has been building, cleaning, and repairing chimneys since 1863. We’ve built, repaired, and serviced chimneys made from nearly every material imaginable including granite, stone, brick, and even oyster shell!

We not only maintain and repair older masonry chimneys, but we can also build in the same styles of yesteryear, including Rumford fireplaces. We can work independently or with your architect or builder to achieve the chimney style and color that you desire. There are many factors that affect the chimney construction process including available brick or stone, grout colors, permitting, construction time, site conditions, etc. Fire-Safe Chimney has successfully managed the chimney construction process for over 75 years. We are the most experienced Mount Airy chimney firm in Maryland.
