Chimney Sweep
Every fire leaves soot and creosote on the inside of the flue. A sweep cleans that buildup out so smoke can travel up and out the way it should, and gives us a close look at the flue while we are there.

Chimney Inspection
We check the chimney from top to bottom: the cap, crown, masonry, flue and firebox. You get a plain explanation of what is in good shape and what needs attention. Useful before the burning season, after a storm or earthquake, or when buying or selling a home.

Chimney Repair
From small cracks to worn or broken parts, we repair the problem we find and explain what we did. Catching damage early usually keeps a small repair from turning into a big one.
Request this service04
Fireplace Repair
Cracked firebox panels, a stuck damper or worn mortar can make a fireplace unsafe to use. We repair the fireplace itself so it is ready for the next fire.

Chimney Rebuilding
When a chimney is leaning, crumbling or badly damaged, a repair is not always enough. We rebuild the part that needs it, or the whole chimney, so it is solid again.
Request this service06
Masonry Repair
Weather and time wear down brick, stone and mortar joints. We repair and repoint damaged masonry to keep water out and keep the structure strong.
Request this service07
Chimney Cap Installation
A chimney cap covers the top of the flue. It keeps rain, birds, animals and leaves out, and its mesh helps stop sparks from leaving the chimney.
Request this service08
Chimney Leak Repair
Water stains on the ceiling or walls near the chimney usually come from the crown, flashing, cap or masonry. We find where the water is getting in and repair that spot.
Request this service09
Chimney Liner Installation
The liner is the inner wall of the flue. It carries heat and smoke up and away from the chimney structure. If the liner is cracked, damaged or missing, we install a new one.
Request this service10
Chimney Crown Repair
The crown is the slab across the top of the chimney. It sheds rain away from the masonry. A cracked crown lets water in, so we repair or replace it before the damage spreads.

Gas Fireplace Repair
If your gas fireplace will not light, will not stay lit or is not working right, call us. We will look at it and repair it.

Chimney Removal & Tear-Down
When a chimney is no longer used, is unsafe, or is in the way of a remodel, we take it down. Partial removal (for example, down to below the roofline) or full tear-down, depending on what your home needs.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What areas do you serve?
Los Angeles and the surrounding areas, about 45 miles around LA. Not sure if you're in range? Call (424) 316-1732.
When are you open?
We are open 24/7, including nights and weekends. Call any time.
How often should a chimney be swept or inspected?
A common rule of thumb is to have a chimney looked at once a year, and swept when soot and creosote build up. How often depends on how much you use the fireplace. Ask us and we will tell you what makes sense for yours.
What are signs my chimney needs repair?
Water stains on walls or ceilings near the chimney, cracked or crumbling brick and mortar, pieces of masonry on the roof or in the firebox, a strong smell from the fireplace, or smoke coming into the room.
Do you work on gas fireplaces?
Yes. Gas fireplace repair is one of our services, along with wood-burning fireplace repair.
