Real-Time Control for Chimney & Fireplace Operations

Managing chimney & fireplace service means juggling inspections, sweeps, creosote removal, relines/liners, caps/dampers, smoke-leak diagnostics, waterproofing, masonry repairs, stove/fireplace installs, and peak-season emergencies — often across multiple homes and tight appointment windows. Teams need live visibility of who is available, which tech is on-site, what materials are on the truck, and where jobs are slipping. That’s why Shifton delivers a field service platform built for Chimney & Fireplace — clear statuses, accurate  and clean handoffs between CSR/Dispatch, Supervisors, and Technicians.

This chimney-service-ready Field Service solution streamlines operations by automating work-order routing, assigning the right certified sweep/mason to the right job, and monitoring progress and on-site time in real time. Whether you’re performing annual sweeps, NFPA 211 Level 1/2/3 inspections, installing liners/caps/dampers, or executing crown and masonry repairs, Shifton keeps tasks organized, auditable, and off the phone.

With Shifton, providers cut missed appointments and callbacks, stabilize appointment windows, and improve first-time-right. You get the control to scale operations through busy seasons, meet safety/compliance expectations, and deliver a better homeowner experience without chaos.
