I knew from past experience that roofers charge an arm and a leg for this so it occurred to me that perhaps a chimney sweep does chimney caps. I lucked out with my first call which was to The S.F. Chimney Sweep. I left a message and got a call back within twenty-four hours from Jeff Friedman. Jeff is very personable and easy to deal with. He came out for a free estimate and while checking that the pipe where the cap goes was in good condition, he noticed that a piece of wood molding was missing from the wood surround that encases the chimney. He told me it needed to be replaced because I could get bees in there or birds too could nest in there. I asked if he could replace it but alas he couldn't because he doesn't do woodwork. But after thinking about it, he said he could use metal flashing instead of wood, if I didn't mind it not being wood. That was fine by me, one less contractor to call. I asked about the chimney cap and what it would look like. He answered my question and added that I could get a stainless steel cap that would not rust but it would cost more. It was only $30 more so I went with the stainless steel model which had to be special ordered. Because of the special order, it took a couple of weeks before installation but the wait was worth it to me. The cap looks great and the flashing strip should keep the birds and the bees away. I think the pricing was very reasonable. It was $190 well spent. I highly recommend Jeff."},"url":"https://www.angi.com/companylist/us/ca/san-francisco/sf-chimney-sweep-reviews-337353.htm"},"position":6},{"@type":"ListItem","item":{"@type":"LocalBusiness","name":"Chimney Clean Company","address":{"@type":"PostalAddress","addressRegion":"CA","addressCountry":"US"},"review":{"@type":"Review","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"Susan S."},"reviewBody":"Services performed as outlined above -- chimney cleaning, a new chimney cap and ash removal cover replaced at my request.

At 12:50 PM, I called the office to confirm that I was on the schedule and was told that the sweeper should arrive within ten minutes. When sweep arrived, I asked about his arriving at the very end of the scheduled time frame and he said that the office had scheduled him between 12:30 PM and 1:30 PM. I told him that I wanted an inspection so he looked up the chimney and said it appeared to be clear except for cobwebs. Then he said he would clean and inspect the chimney from the roof. I asked why it needed to be cleaned and he said that was the routine the company normally followed. I reiterated that I wanted an inspection for integrity only. He went on the roof to inspect the chimney from that end and after about 15 minutes, total elapsed time from knocking on the door, announced that the chimney was structurally sound. I asked what the charge would be and, when told $125, I asked how much it would have cost if the chimney had been swept. He said $140. I questioned the price for such a brief visit only involving a visual inspection from the fireplace up and the chimney cap down. He said that it was the company's policy to charge $125 irrespective of the time involved but gave me the company owner's name and suggested I speak to her. When I spoke to Rhonda James (owner), she explained that $125 was the charge because the company had been in business for 14 years, that their employees were experienced and knowledgeable, and that, while I was lucky to have had a safe chimney, I would have been happy to pay the $125 if a dangerous flaw had been found. I said that I would expect to pay the same rate regardless of the findings and that the rate for a 15 minute inspection was excessive, especially when an inspection with cleaning/sweeping was only $15 more. We concluded with Ms. James telling me that they were a reputable company, I was lucky I didn't get a company that didn't know what it was doing, and that was their rate."},"url":"https://www.angi.com/companylist/us/ca/san-carlos/aba-hearth-and-home-reviews-348060.htm"},"position":10}]}
Chimney Sweeping reviews from real Angi homeowners in Belmont, CA
Tony came and saw my pool (green at the time) and took care of bringing it back to the beautiful pool it is. His team also noticed an issue will our pool sweep and replaced the part without me even asking. Great attention to detail!
The contract was to have one coat primer and two coats of painting, but today when we do the roof, we found the paint peels around the chimney and there were no primer at all. I am so disappointed!

"I had a very positive experience. Nasir was professional but friendly and even my protective dog settled down quickly which I always consider a good sign. Nasir explained each step of the way and let me know when he’d be up on the roof and inside to clean out the stove ( this was a chimney cleaning job ) . I felt it was an extremely fair price for an overdue and dirty job and left everything spotless. Even gave me tips on cleaning the glass door of the wood stove. I will definitely be using their services again and would highly recommend. "

FAQs for chimney sweeping projects in Belmont, CA
While it’s possible to sweep your own chimney, it’s usually not a good idea for two reasons. First, inexperienced DIYers are more likely to miss areas of the chimney, which still leaves the risk of house fire due to the remaining residue. Second, chimney sweeping seems like a simple process, but it’s highly dangerous. Soot and creosote are both carcinogenic and can cause breathing issues and lung damage. If you don’t take the same safety precautions that professionals do, you could be putting yourself at risk of serious bodily harm.
You should plan to ask your chimney sweeper questions about the cleaning process they intend to use, the project timeline, and more to get a sense of which professional is right for the job:
What is your process for cleaning chimneys?
How long will the process take?
Will you protect my floors from soot and debris?
Will you do a chimney inspection, too?
Do you have certification from the Chimney Safety Institute of America (CSIA) or the National Fire Institute (NFI)?
Will you need access to my roof?
The average cost for a professional chimney cleaning is around $250, but prices range from $130 to $400 or more, depending on a few factors. Some things that have an impact on your total include the size of your chimney, the number of chimneys cleaned, and how accessible the chimneys are.
In some cases, you don’t need to do anything to prepare for chimney sweeping, but professionals always appreciate leaving the area clean and easy to access. As such, it’s a good idea to move fireplace accessories like screens and fire tending tools out of the way, and lay down tarps of drop cloths around your fireplace opening to help keep your floors clean. Laying down a plastic sheet under those cloths or tarps is a good idea if your fireplace is surrounded by carpeting, just to add extra protection. Finally, secure any pets or children away from the work area.
The National Fire Prevention Agency (NFPA) recommends chimney sweeping once per year as a means of avoiding house fires and massive property damage. Over time, creosote and soot build up in your chimney from burning wood and a lack of ventilation. These compounds are both highly flammable, which means a build-up of them inside your chimney puts you at an increased risk of house fire. Chimney sweeping removes any residue and helps reduce the risk of property damage and personal injury from fire.
