Our Services

Getting your chimney checked in Hillsborough, California is a smart move for any homeowner who relies on a fireplace. A thorough inspection looks for creosote buildup, which can ignite and cause a house fire if left unchecked. We also clear blocked flues, test draft, and watch for smoke that backs up into the living space. The job includes checking brickwork for cracks or loose mortar that could let heat escape and start a blaze. Prices are clear from the start, with no hidden fees, and you can set up an appointment quickly by calling (888) 295-7280. Our crew shows you exactly what they find and explains any repairs needed, so you know your home is safe.

A full chimney inspection looks at the firebox, smoke chamber, flue lining and the cap. We check for creosote buildup, blockages, cracks and any signs of mortar loss. The draft is tested to see if smoke is moving correctly. We also look for loose bricks that could fail under heat. All findings are written up in a clear report for you. Hillsborough homes get the same detailed attention as any other market.

Pricing is based on the size of the chimney and the level of service required. A basic visual check starts around $150, while a video-camera scope adds $100-$150 more. If we find extensive creosote or damage, extra repair costs are quoted separately. No hidden fees – we give you a flat estimate before we start. Call (888) 295-7280 for an exact quote for your property. We accept cash, credit cards or check.

You don’t need to be present the whole time, just there when we arrive to let us in. We’ll lock up and secure the area after we finish. If you prefer, you can stay in the house while we work; it won’t affect the inspection. We’ll keep the work site clean and safe. Any follow-up questions can be answered when we leave or over the phone later. Your convenience matters, so we’re flexible.

A typical chimney inspection takes about one to two hours, depending on the chimney’s height and condition. Simple visual checks are on the shorter end; adding a camera or cleaning extends the time.

It’s a quick but thorough process.

We stand behind our work with a satisfaction guarantee. If any issue we identified is not addressed as promised, we’ll come back to fix it at no extra charge.

We keep records and can provide proof of the work done. Your safety and peace of mind are our top priorities.
