What Lafayette’s ‘Licensed & Insured’ Really Requires
In Lafayette, a ‘licensed’ chimney sweep must hold a current Colorado Home Inspector License (CHIL) or Chimney Safety Institute of America (CSIA) certification—both require passing exams on fire codes, chimney physics, and local building rules. Many fly-by-night crews skip this step. Matthew Clark Chimney LLC’s team holds both credentials, plus liability insurance that covers your home if something goes wrong. Before you book, ask for proof: our license number is on file at about. Don’t rely on a business card with a handwritten number—verify it.
Why Lafayette Homeowners Should Demand More Than a Broom and a Truck
A ‘licensed and insured’ tag doesn’t guarantee quality work. In Lafayette, some crews rush through sweeps with outdated tools or skip inspections entirely. Matthew Clark Chimney LLC uses HEPA vacuums, modern cameras, and follows CSIA’s 14-point inspection checklist—even for routine sweeps. We document findings in writing and email reports same-day.
