We utilize current industry technology for unsurpassed service while still maintaining the best price to product / service ratio. Rest assured and enjoy your Superior Chimney!... Superior Chimney is a family owned and operated chimney sweep and masonry chimney restoration company. Our family recognized the demand for a service overhaul in an industry shadowed by skepticism as a result of it being primarily commission/incentive based for its technicians. We are proud to be a service company, not a sales company! It is our commitment to maintain safe use of all chimney types in all of Chicagoland while exceeding your expected level of service. Our fleet of trucks service all six Chicagoland counties, year round, in effort to minimize chimney fire statistics.
"Great experience from beginning to end. They responded right away, quickly identified the issue with our chimney caps, and had a simple solution ready. The repair was done efficiently, and everything looks great now."

"Edison from Land Brothers showed up on time, got right to work and immediately began cutting the screw heads. It took him no time at all to remove the screws and replace the bad deadbolt with a new one. He also seemed very trustworthy. He went above and beyond to work with my schedule to get in as quickly as possible to get the job done in time for a village inspection and closing on the sale of the home. I would definitely hire him again."

"B&K were very reasonable on price for a pair of small projects while still providing a high quality of work. While their workers were here they did a great job of communicating and verifying exactly how I wanted things done rather than just guessing or doing the work the easiest way they could. I'll be calling again next time I need something similar done."

Shiplap isn’t inherently expensive, but it does cost more than basic drywall. Plywood sheets are the cheapest way to get the look, while solid wood boards fall between $2 and $7 per square foot. If price is a concern, install shiplap on one feature wall and finish the rest with drywall. You’ll still get the texture you want without paying for planks on every surface.
Yes, pros often attach shiplap directly to drywall by nailing into studs or using construction adhesive. Still, removing the drywall first creates a flatter, more secure surface—especially if your walls aren’t perfectly plumb. Talk with your carpentry contractor about which route makes sense for your project, budget, and local building codes.
Horizontal boards give rooms a wider, more relaxed feel and nod to classic farmhouse style. Vertical planks draw the eye upward and are perfect when you want ceilings to appear taller. There’s no “better” choice—the best orientation depends on your room’s proportions and the look you’re after. Hold a few boards in place both ways before you commit.
