He and his assistant were fantastic and great to do business with. First, they sealed off the area with plastic tarps which really kept the dust, etc., to a minimum. Worked very hard for 8 hours and really earned their pay! Friendly and enjoyable to work with. I can't believe how great my fireplace looks! My home was built in 1957 and I bought it in 2007. The chimney lining was cracked due to the age of the home and when a second fireplace was built on the backside for the adjoining room, it had to have been built by someone who didn't know how to install a chimney. I couldn't have a fire in the living room without the adjoining room filling with smoke. Paul was the expert I needed to properly diagnose the problems. He did everything he promised and was very professional. I can't wait to enjoy my fireplace on a cold winter night and, for once, not get the house full of smoke. I can't recommend him enough. If you need installation or repair on a fireplace/chimney, you CAN'T go wrong hiring Paul Walker. I promise!!!

This time, a routine termite inspection by our pest control company uncovered damage to numerous rafter tails under the eaves plus mold damage to some patio cover slats?all of which we planned to have Chris fix after termite fumigation. Unfortunately, the weight of the fumigation tent and/or tenting process caused our 30-year-old chimney cap to dent in and hold rain water, which then dripped down into the fireplace! Fortunately, Chris saved the day quickly! Like our prior experience with Weathermaster Roofing Services, Chris Wilder was awesomely responsive, thoughtful, cheerful, and communicative?and reasonably priced! Chris provided structurally sound and aesthetically beautiful work including: rafter-tail roof repairs, rain gutter cleaning, patio slat replacement, caulking, perfectly matched painting, and a custom fit chimney cap. So, for a top-notch, skilled and artistic roofer at a reasonable price, definitely call Chris Wilder, Weathermaster Roofing Services.

"My son helped me find a Chimney Sweep company in Huntington Beach.
I’m so glad he booked the service with Chimney Sweep Masters as everything was beyond excellent and the overallservice was amazing. Jonathan and Ido did a great job replacing the Chase Cover on my fireplace and installed two new caps as well as a third cap on my Masonary brick chimney.
A big plus was to find out that Jonathan is a licensed general contactor. He was able to provide me with information and pricing on some small and medium size projects I've been planning to get to around the house and he recommended a few other things for the future.
All in all great service highley recommended!!! I'm expecting them to do some additional work for me in the coming weeks in my kitchen and some drywall and paint work."

FAQs for chimney inspection projects in Carlsbad, CA
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.
The cost to install a fireplace is $2,440 on average. This cost can range from $150 to $8,000 or more, depending on the type of fireplace, the materials used, and the size.
Electric fireplaces cost around $1,000 to install, and mostly only require wiring installation. Installing a wood fireplace from scratch could cost upwards of $10,000, depending on the foundation needed to support the weight of the fireplace. In addition, gas fireplaces can cost between $2,500 and $10,000.
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.
The cost to remodel your fireplace is $1,200 on average. This cost can range from $400 to $2,000, depending on the extent of work needed.
If you add a hearth to your fireplace, you can expect to pay between $3 and $200per square foot. However, if you're refacing your fireplace, the price tag will depend on your chosen materials. If choosing tile, you can pay between $1 and $50per square foot, depending on the design. Stone is a more expensive material, averaging between $60 and $70 per square foot.
On average, chimney repairs cost about $455. However, because of the vast range of potential repairs needed, the cost to repair a chimney ranges widely from $160 to $15,000, depending on the type and extent of repairs required.
