What Valley Homeowners Tell Us
Marisol A.
Called at nine on a Sunday night because the living room filled with smoke. Someone was here before eleven, found a bird's nest wedged in the flue, and cleared it out. I did not expect anyone to pick up, let alone turn up.
Ben H.
Thorough is the word. They ran a camera down the liner and showed me the cracked section on a tablet before quoting anything at all. No pressure either way. We had it relined and the draft is night and day.
Priya N.
Escrow needed a chimney inspection at short notice and they turned it round in two days with a proper written report. The buyer's agent came back with no follow-up questions.
Dave K.
Rebuilt a crown that had basically turned to gravel, then sealed the brick. Two winters of rain since and the ceiling stain has not come back once.
Corinne T.
Twenty years in this house and nobody had ever swept the thing. Drop cloths went down everywhere and honestly I could not tell afterwards that anyone had been in the room.
Alan R.
Straight answers. Told me the gas insert was fine and only wanted its burner cleaned, when the last outfit had tried to sell me a whole new unit. Priced fairly too.

Straight Answers About Your Chimney
How often does a Sherman Oaks fireplace really need sweeping?
The NFPA line is an inspection every twelve months and a sweep whenever deposits justify one. In practice, if you burn most weekends through a Valley winter, plan on a sweep each autumn. Burn two or three times a season and an inspection alone may cover you — we will tell you honestly which camp you fall into.
Are you genuinely open at two in the morning?
Yes. The phone is staffed around the clock, every day of the year. Smoke pouring into a bedroom or a chimney fire is not a wait-until-Monday problem, so we do not treat it as one. Ring (818) 806-6528 whenever it happens.
How long will you be at my house?
A straightforward sweep and inspection usually runs an hour to ninety minutes. Add time if the flue has gone untouched for years, if there is glazed buildup that needs grinding off, or if we are carrying out repairs on the same visit.
Is my house going to end up covered in soot?
No. Drop cloths go down before anything else happens, a HEPA vacuum runs the entire time we work, and the hearth gets wiped down on the way out. If we leave a mark, we clean it.
What does a sweep cost around Sherman Oaks?
Most routine sweeps with an inspection land somewhere between $189 and $329 locally. What moves the number is the appliance type, how awkward the roof access is, and how much buildup is actually up there. The quote comes first and it does not change afterwards.
Do you handle gas and pellet units, or only wood?
All of them. Gas log sets, direct-vent inserts, pellet appliances and freestanding wood stoves — burners, venting, liners and dampers included. Gas units want annual attention too; the venting still fouls, it just does it quietly.
How far out do you travel?
Roughly thirty miles from the shop on Emelita Street. That covers most of the Valley plus the Westside, Burbank, Glendale and Pasadena. If you are not sure whether you fall inside that, ring and ask — it takes ten seconds.
Are you licensed and insured, and do I get anything in writing?
Yes on both counts. We carry liability cover, work to current code, and finish every visit with a photo report you keep: the condition of each component, whatever we recommend, and the reasoning behind it.
