About
First started by my Father then passed down to me in 1991. I have been in the masonry business my whole life. With over 35 years of personal professional experience I focused on quality and craftsmanship and make sure every customer is 100% satisfied with their repairs. With a 2 year tuck-pointing warranty and lifetime flue repair warranty I stand behind my companies repairs and ensure every job is done right. Approved does not install stainless steel but repairs the existing masonry and even replaces original cast iron dampers with new cast iron, a skill many experts no longer have. All employees have been with us a decade or longer and have the experience and craftsmanship we so proudly show. If you have a chimney, choose Approved and you won’t have to Hope you’re safe, you’ll KNOW you’re safe!

He explained everything in detail and showed me how to use the fireplace properly. I have lived in my home over 15 years and never knew how to properly light the fireplace. Thank you Approved for your services and I will definitely refer your company to anyone needing a chimney sweep or repair.

Im very satisfied with your service. The work was done very quickly and done without making any sort of mess. I liked that he took the time to explain what he was going to do before he started. I will definitely refer your company to others.

I highly recommend Approved Home Improvements for Chimney cleaning and repair. Our Chimney was in dire need of repair and needed a complete renovation. These guys know what they are doing. They worked efficiently and were done in 3 days. When the left everything was cleaned up and looking good.

Approved home improvements did the job right. We needed our chimney flu repaired about joints had cracked and they performed the job quickly and correctly. Their tutorial videos about their work were very informative to understand what work and repairs would be done, and how. Arlene was nice to work with over the phone, and James knows his stuff.
