Chimney Collective Launches Comprehensive Services Platform for Homeowners

On June 2, 2026, Chimney Collective made its official debut as a significant player in the residential chimney, fireplace, and masonry services market. This collective emerged from the successful integration of three prominent regional service providers: Ashbusters, Felgemacher Masonry and Chimney, and Mid-Valley Chimney and Masonry. Operating across major states such as Tennessee, South Carolina, New York, Ohio, Kentucky, and Indiana, Chimney Collective combines expertise, resources, and a shared commitment to delivering top-notch services to homeowners.

By fostering unity among established local brands, Chimney Collective aims to meet this growing demand while ensuring quality and professionalism remain at the forefront of operations.

According to Rhett Hogan, Co-Founder of Chimney Collective, "The formation of Chimney Collective represents an exciting milestone for our team, our partner companies, and the chimney and fireplace services industry." This sentiment is echoed by Branson Tibbs, also a Co-Founder, who highlighted the legacy of quality and technical expertise that the founding companies bring to the table. Together, they are committed to honoring local roots while creating endless opportunities for growth and service enhancement for both their teams and clients.
