Chimney Masonry and Fireplace Work in Van Nuys
Tell Us What Failed Up Top
Crown, joints, flashing or loose brick: say what you are seeing and we call back to say which service fits and what the roof visit covers.
Chimney Sweep
A sweep clears creosote and soot, and while we are up there we photograph the crown and top joints too. Booked in Van Nuys and across the San Fernando Valley.

We start on the roof with the crown, joints and flashing, then work down the flue. Van Nuys inspections come with photos of every face and a plain account of the build.

The camera inspection a home sale calls for in Van Nuys, plus roof photos of the crown and top courses so buyers see the outside of the stack too.

A cap is only as solid as the crown it sits on. In Van Nuys we fit stainless caps with spark screens and fix the crown under them first.

Flashing pulled away from the brick is behind most leaks beside a chimney. We cut counter flashing into the joints in Van Nuys instead of leaning on caulk.
