"Very responsive person, ready to come early as schedule as to be changed. Clean our chimney without any mess, gave good advice and was ready to do a new job right away (no need to take another appointment). I totally recommend FirePlace 911"
"Awesome team. Extremely prompt, great availability, and fair prices. Got our prefabricated fireplace and masonry fireplace in working order after in just under a few hours. Would absolutely hire again."
"Chimney Sweep Masters did an outstanding job with my fireplace maintenance in Los Angeles! They were professional, thorough, and ensured my chimney cleaning and inspection were done properly. Their team identified and fixed a minor creosote buildup issue, improving my fireplace safety. Highly recommend them for chimney repair, fireplace restoration, and overall chimney services!"
"I highly recommend Jeff and Pacific Fireside. Jeff was on time for the scheduled inspection of my chimney which I have not used in years. During the inspection he found some erosion due to the years of dormancy which he was able to explain to me in a way a non-expert would understand and thoroughly outlined his very fair pricing. He was back with the necessary parts a few days later and was able to complete the repairs in just one day!"
"Northstar Restoration did a fantastic job for our two fireplaces/chimneys. Peter is prompt, professional, and a pleasure to work with. The staff is prompt, courteous, and knowledgeable. The work was performed on time, neatly, and expertly. Would hire them again and recommend them highly."
"Leo was very helpful and quick to respond. We’re happy with how our 2 bathrooms turned out. Project was completed within the time promised. Our only complaint is that the workers did not clean up very well. But overall, we’re satisfied and we’ll use them again."

The time required for a chimney inspection depends on the inspection level. A Level 1 inspection typically takes between 45 minutes and two hours, with an average of about an hour and a half. A Level 2 inspection usually takes less than two hours. A more in-depth Level 3 inspection can take up to five hours, or even multiple days if it requires removing materials. The total duration also depends on the chimney's size, condition, and how long it has been since its last inspection; chimneys with severe damage will require a longer inspection.
Depending on who’s doing the estimating, about 22,000 to 25,000 chimney fires happen each year in the United States. Given the fact that millions of Americans have fireplaces (and chimneys), that means chimney fires aren’t exactly common—but they’re not rare, either. Since they’re so dangerous, it’s important to take precautions to prevent them.
The best time to clean your chimney is before you need to use it, which for most people is during the spring, summer, or early fall. Spring and summer are often ideal because the chimney is not in use, and chimney sweeps can access the roof more easily without snow and ice. The warmer months are also better for making any necessary repairs. To avoid the rush when chimney sweeps get booked up in early spring and late fall, scheduling your cleaning for the summer can be a safe bet. It's recommended to book your annual chimney sweep during these warmer months to maintain a yearly schedule.
In general, it will take about 90 minutes to burn the creosote sweeping log by itself, allowing it to work its magic. This may be longer or shorter depending on the conditions of your chimney.
Pellet stoves do require electricity to power their automated features, such as the pellet feeder, fans, and digital controls. However, their electricity consumption is relatively low compared to other household appliances. During a power outage, pellet stoves equipped with battery backup systems or manual ignition options can still operate, though fans and automatic feed mechanisms may not function. Have a backup heating plan in place for these situations, especially if you live in a region prone to severe weather events.
