I'm Stephen, WETT certified since 2016 with renovation experience going back to 2000. Every job I take on is built to the standards your insurance company looks for.

WETT Certified Inspections

Insurance companies want proof that a wood stove is safe to use, and a WETT inspection is how you give it to them. I'm certified to inspect the install, the chimney and the full system, then document it in a report that holds up. See what's involved and what to expect.

Wood Heating Renovations

A stove is only as safe as what's built around it. I handle the hearth, the shielding, the chase and the chimney, all to the same standards a WETT inspection looks for. There's room for smaller renos too when the schedule allows. See my full range of contracting work.

How Cozy Can Help

I cover both ends of a wood heating system, the inspection that confirms it meets code and the contracting that builds it right. Whatever you came here for, it's likely one of these.

Safety Inspections

If your insurance company is asking for a WETT inspection, that's usually the holdup on a policy or a home sale. I inspect the system against current code and give you the report that documents where it stands.

Chimney Cleaning

Every season of burning coats the inside of the flue with creosote, and that buildup is the leading cause of chimney fires. I scrub it back to clean and check the liner and cap for wear that usually goes unnoticed.

Stove Maintenance

Regular maintenance is the difference between a stove that lasts decades and one that quits early. I clean the firebox, replace worn gaskets and check the seals so every load of wood gives you its full heat.

Appliance Installs

New stove, insert or furnace, I handle the whole install. Clearances, venting and connections are all set to the manufacturer's specs, so it runs safely and meets code from the first fire.

Chimneys & Liners

The chimney is what carries every burn safely out of the house. I install new chimney systems, replace tired or damaged liners and run flue pipe that fits the appliance, so the draft stays strong and nothing leaks.

Hearths & Shielding

The hearth under a stove and the shielding behind it keep that heat off your floors and walls. I build both to the clearances your specific appliance requires, so the setup is safe to run and ready to pass inspection.

Why Choose Cozy Contracting

Wood heat is worth doing properly, and that's the whole reason Cozy Contracting exists. I bring the WETT training your insurer looks for and the hands-on experience a good install needs, all from one local operator who answers his own phone.
