Typical home
canyon houses off Laurel and Coldwater Canyon, hillside homes near Fryman Canyon, and remodeled Valley bungalows
Studio City hillside houses often step down the slope, so one chimney can serve a living room on the street level and a second fireplace a floor below. From outside it looks like a single stack. Inside there are two flues, and we sweep, inspect and write up each one.
Neighborhood coverage
We work this city even on blocks we have not documented yet. Use the neighborhood list below, or call so we can confirm access and scheduling for your address.
The canyon streets carry brush right up to the back fences, and older stacks here also took the 1994 Northridge earthquake. We look for cracked flue tiles in each flue, not just the one you use most. A typical visit here covers full firebox and refractory panel inspection, damper operation and sealing test, and smoke shelf and smoke chamber evaluation, so the scope reflects the chimney in front of us and not a generic estimate.
Houses around here typically run canyon houses off laurel and coldwater canyon, hillside homes near fryman canyon, and remodeled valley bungalows.

our home base, on both sides of Ventura Boulevard
Encino is where our day starts, and it is the reason the business works the way it does. Lots here are big enough that a house often has a fireplace in the living room, a second one in the primary suite or den, and a third out by the pool. We list every one of them on the phone, then sweep and inspect each flue during a single visit.

Sherman Oaks houses up in the hills tend to run two flues through one tall masonry stack, and the top of that stack is not something you can judge from the driveway. Down on the flats the second fireplace is usually a factory-built unit from a remodel, with a metal flue and a cap of its own. We treat each as its own chimney and write it up that way.

A Woodland Hills ranch house can spread three fire features across one long roofline and a yard: the original brick fireplace, a gas unit in a newer family room, and a masonry fireplace outside. We book all three into the same morning so you are not taking three separate days off.

Most Burbank houses have one fireplace, but the larger homes in the hills and the ones that grew a den or a back-house addition often have two. We ask before we come so the second one is not a surprise on the day, and both get their own write-up.

Simi Valley is the far end of our route, so we make the trip count. Ranch properties out here can have a fireplace in the main house, a wood stove in a workshop or guest unit, and a fire pit in the yard. If you tell us about all of them, they all fit in the one visit.
