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.
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.
Summer heat opens hairline cracks in crowns on the hillside stacks, and those cracks face the same wind and ember exposure as the canyon brush behind them. The prefab units on the flats need their chase covers and caps checked for rust instead. That's factored into when we tell you to schedule, which materials we use, and what makes it into the written report once the visit wraps up.
Most Sherman Oaks appointments cover stone and tile surround installation, custom mantel design and fabrication, and gas or electric insert conversion. We walk you through what we found before we leave and flag anything worth handling before the next heating season starts.

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.

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.

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.

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.
