Start With the Main Services
These cover most of what homeowners call about. Each one has its own page with the detail; the full catalogue further down lists everything else.

Chimney Cleaning
Broader chimney and fireplace system cleaning for soot, creosote buildup, ash, and debris.

Chimney Sweep
Flue-focused sweeping for wood-burning fireplaces, gas inserts, and factory-built fireplaces — soot, creosote buildup, and debris in the chimney flue.

Chimney Inspection
Chimney inspection for homeowners across California — an assessment of what condition the chimney is in, at whatever scope the situation calls for.

Chimney Repair
Broad chimney repair across California for visible damage or deterioration, with separate services covering masonry, leak, crown, flashing, liner and rebuild work.

Fireplace Cleaning
Deep cleaning of fireplace fireboxes, glass doors, and surrounding tile or stone. Removes ash, soot and built-up residue from the fireplace and accessible fireplace surfaces.

Chimney Cap Installation
Stainless steel and copper chimney cap installation. Keeps rain, wildlife, and debris out of your flue — and sparks off your roof.

Chimney Liner Repair
Chimney liner repair and relining for damaged or deteriorated chimney liners.

Dryer Vent Cleaning
Professional dryer vent cleaning removes lint buildup that restricts airflow, wastes energy, and creates a serious fire hazard in California homes.
Chimney Cleaning or Chimney Sweep?
Related work, kept as two distinct service intents. Chimney cleaning is the broader clean-out — soot, creosote buildup, ash and debris removed from the fireplace and chimney system. Chimney sweep is the dedicated sweeping service, focused on the flue. Homeowners often use the two terms loosely in everyday language, so read whichever page matches the job you have in mind.
Neither is the same as a chimney inspection, which focuses on condition evaluation rather than clearing the flue.
Not Sure Which Service You Need?
Start from what you are seeing. These are the usual starting points rather than a diagnosis — the cause is often somewhere other than the symptom.
