During our annual fireplace and chimney inspection and cleaning, Doug Parrish of Augusta Chimney Sweeps (540-885-3244) recommended we purchase a 1/4-inch thick steel plate (24 inches wide and 16 inches high) and lean it against the back of our fireplace chamber to increase the heating efficiency of our wood-burning fireplace. He recommended C & C Welding Service in Waynesboro (540-949-8061) to fabricate the plate. We highly recommend both Augusta Chimney Sweeps and C & C Welding Service for their experience and high degree of ensuring customer satisfaction. Submitted by Mike Yurewicz. July 2025
Taylor Smith (540-885-2251) at Braden and Van Fossen Iron Works in Staunton manufactured this custom iron plate to be used as a heat reflector for the fireplace. The plate was recommended by Doug Parrish (540-885-3244) of Augusta Chimney Sweep. The plate was installed by handyman Silas Valentine, (540-849-9562). All three contractors did very fine work in a small amount of time at a reasonable price with a pleasant attitude. Submitted by Mike Chambers. October 2022
I would like to recommend Augusta Chimney Sweeps. Doug Parrish is extremely efficient, does an excellent inspection and cleaning, and when he leaves your house it is as clean or cleaner as when he arrived. Very reasonable cost for the high level of service and care he performs. He is super-concerned about all the safety issues one can have with a fireplace. I will use him again.

I have used Augusta (540-885-3244) for a number of years. They are located in Staunton. Doug Parrish does an excellent job on my woodstove exhaust pipe that gets heavy use. I have it cleaned once a year and I am always amazed by the amount of soot collected during cleaning. Doug is courteous and does a thorough and expert job at a reasonable price.
