Sherman Oaks wood stove repair, done by people who know the roofs

Part of Sherman Oaks was Van Nuys until the city moved the line in 1991, so the chimneys here look a lot like ours: postwar brick on the flats and taller stacks on the hillside lots. On the flats it is usually the crown and top joints; on the hill it is the flashing and the courses above a steep roof. We've worked the full range of chimney types found here, from single-flue brick stacks to multi-system fireplaces, and we set up the visit around whichever one is on your roof.

Encino, west of Sherman Oaks along Ventura Boulevard

Wood Stove Repair in Encino

Encino lots often have a main living room chimney and a second stack for a den or an addition, each put up by a different builder. We look at every stack on the property, because one can have a sound crown while the one beside it has split.

Many Studio City chimneys date from the 1940s through the 1960s, and on the canyon lots they rise tall above steep roofs. That height is where the trouble collects: the top courses take the most sun and wind, and flashing on a steep pitch is the first seal to let go.
