"I have been using Thom and his crew for at least 8 years now for our chimney cleaning and maintenance, and I am very pleased with the work he does. They are thorough, clean, and always have a great attitude. A few years back the cap at the top of our chimney had some cracks and crumbling mortar; the repairs Thom made were first-quality and have stood up to the elements beautifully. He's also done mortar work on the firebrick inside the hearth. I recommend Chim Chiminey Sweep very highly and will continue to use them on an annual basis."

"Beware of shipping issues with this company. Ordered an ice maker installation kit on 10/10/25. Shipping was due no later than 10/20 according to company and FedEx tracking. FedEx tracking showed the package at their facility for 8 days without moving beginning on 10/15. Called FedEx 3 times. Each time they said they cannot find package and I have to contact shipper. Shipper has to make a claim, they will not mark it as lost. Called Appliance Parts Pros twice. Each time they say FedEx has to mark package lost before they will do anything. They also state they have to wait 14 days from them before doing anything because of their contract with FedEx. I don't care about their contract, I want what was ordered and paid for. Just going in circles with them and FedEX. If they shipped after 14 days it would be 22 days from that point, 32 days from the date of order if they shipped it that day.

"The work was done as described, within the time specified and with complete attention to minimizing the impact of their efforts on our home and comfort. I particularly appreciated Paul's willingness to make sure that we we had a basic understanding of what needed to be done and why, since chimney masonry is not an area we have a lot of knowledge about. He patiently repeated and reassured us throughout the process. It is clear that this work is his passion and he brings exceptional professionalism and skill to the job."

We are Women in Cons­truc­tion, Denise and Molly. ‘Per­fec­tion­ists to a fault’ prob­a­bly best describes us. Cus­tomers are our num­ber one pri­or­ity. After more than 25 years of doing busi­ness in San Diego,we have built up extensive knowledge of the tile indus­try. Com­pet­i­tive Pric­ing, Qual­ity Ser­vice, Free Esti­mates, Per­son­al­ized Atten­tion, and an obses­sion with job­site neat­ness are the mix of ingre­di­ents that our clients appreciate. All of our work is cus­tom designed. We work together with you, the client, to inte­grate design con­cepts suit­able to your dis­tinct lifestyle. Embark­ing on a remodel can be daunting. Molly and I will walk you through the process, from choos­ing the tiles, (pass­ing on our Contractor’s Dis­count), to find­ing a design that suits both your taste and bud­get. Please browse our gal­leries for exam­ples of our work. Uses subs for plumbing, waterproofing, electrical countertops & glass shower doors. Cost is determined by the job. No travel charges.

"Denise was very timely and professional. She was honest, communicative, timely, and reasonably priced. She managed her time well to finish the work in the time window she had estimated for us and stuck to the price estimate she had given us, even when she seemed to expand on the scope of the project and add more work for herself. Denise definitely cares about the quality of the work she's done and works so that the end product will last. She was very knowledgeable about our older house and because of that, there were few surprises when she started demo to begin with the tiling work. Where other contractors would require constant messages to get a hold of them, Denise called every day to give an update on the project. She is an honest, hard worker that is hard to find nowadays and we'd love to hire her again if we ever needed more work done."

Fireplaces questions, answered by experts

Yes, you can close off a fireplace both temporarily and permanently with extremely wide price ranges. Temporary solutions involve fireplace plugs that can be inflated to block air and deflated to open the fireplace, covers, and boards. Permanent methods of shutting off fireplaces usually involve bricking up the fireplace or covering it with drywall. No matter the method, it’s probably best to hire a professional.

In addition to flashing, a roof cricket can help divert water around your chimney so that it drains properly off your roof. It’s shaped like a double triangle and is installed behind the chimney so that falling water spills evenly down each side. This helps prevent water from accumulating behind your chimney, which can increase water damage and the risk of leaks. 

The International Building Code (IBC) requires cricket installation if a chimney built after 2012 measures over 30 inches in width. Chimneys constructed before that date are typically grandfathered in and aren’t required to have crickets installed.

If you’re looking for a cost-effective alternative to a traditional chimney, consider having a dummy chimney installed. Dummy chimneys can either be aesthetic-only or fully functional and can be installed on both new and older homes. Whether installed to match your neighborhood’s aesthetic or to vent your chimney, dummy chimneys are made out of a Glass-Reinforced Plastic (GRP) core, then covered with brick or stone slips to look like a traditional chimney.

If properly constructed with the right materials, a chimney crown can last 50 to 70 years. If done poorly, your chimney cap could need replacing in 20 years or less.

Fireplace inserts can increase home value when installed correctly. Since they improve heating efficiency significantly, this will be a bonus to homeowners who are looking for a functional alternative heat source. Plus, inserts are less maintenance and less of a liability than a traditional fireplace. You’re very likely to recover fireplace insert installation costs when you sell your home.
