Black Goose Chimney and Duct was started in 1984 by Jim Suttie and Peg Apka. Originally, Black Goose only inspected and cleaned chimneys serving wood and oil appliances. Today, Black Goose is a full-service chimney company. We service all flues; wood, oil, and gas. This includes inspections, sweeping, repairing, rebuilding, and relining of these flues.
We also install stoves and fireplaces and sell a variety of chimney and fireplace accessories. Another service that we provide, is the cleaning of residential and commercial air duct systems and dryer vents. Black Goose's primary objective is to provide the most complete chimney, air duct, and dryer vent service in this area.

Our Mission: To build together northeastern Minnesota and northwestern Wisconsin's most preferred and highest quality chimney and duct service. Our team members will lead the way in educating our clients on the benefits of maintaining their chimney and venting systems and helping them do so. Our goal is to help all our clients "Be Warm, Be Safe, and Breathe Easy."
Education, training and certification are ongoing for us here at Black Goose Chimney & Duct. Our technicians hold the highest and most recognized certifications available in the chimney and venting industry. The Air Systems Cleaning Specialist (ASCS) certification from the National Air Duct Association (NADCA) is a world wide credential for a person's knowledge and skills related to HVAC system hygiene.
We can repair most chimneys, no matter if weather, age, or sudden occurrence damages your chimney. We tuckpoint, rebuild, replace, and reline chimneys serving wood, gas, and oil-burning appliances. Often, doing a small repair now can help prevent more extensive and costly damage to your chimney in the years to come.
Exterior water from rain, snow, and ice combining with freeze/thaw conditions causes most chimney damage to an unprotected chimney. One way to help prevent damage from exterior water is to cover your chimney. Our chimney covers are made of stainless steel or copper and come with a lifetime warranty against rusting out.
We recommend every 50 fires or so. It depends on the type of woodburning system, your burning habits, and the time of year you burn wood. At the minimum, every chimney should be inspected annually and cleaned/repaired, if necessary, according to the National Fire Protection Association and the Chimney Safety Institute of America.

I had the upper part of my old chimney removed and new furnace exhaust duct installed by Black Goose. They arrived when they said they would or called to let me know if they were delayed. Communication from the office was excellent. Dave and his partner worked very hard through two of the hottest days of summer. They thoroughly cleaned up the house before leaving. Not the cheapest guys in town but the price was fair considering the job was over an hour from their shop.. I would use them again.

We are working on getting our house ready for the season and scheduled a chimney cleaning and carpet cleaning on consecutive days. We asked if that will be a problem. Bonnie said the technician would call when he was in route and there should be no problem. Jacob arrived soon after he called and did an excellent job, clean, quick, and professional. Jason provided expert advice for ongoing maintenance. Thanks Black Goose!

Without a doubt, Black Goose Chimney is the best chimney cleaning and chimney repair company in town. I can honestly say that in 24 years of being in the real estate business, I have never had a complaint from a client about their services. They do what they say, and they say what they do. I highly recommend Black Goose Chimney.

Black Goose Chimney and Duct is one of the best companies I have ever worked with. When I purchased my new home, one of the first things I did was had the chimney inspected and cleaned. Jim and his crew first came to my house and gave me a bid on the inspection. After agreeing on the price his crew got to work cleaning and inspecting my chimney. They did a fantastic job. I felt comfortable with everything that they did and they educated me on each step that was necessary, plus they even left the place cleaner than when they arrived. I have since recommended Black Goose to many friends and family
