Gentle, Thorough Chimney Care for Silver Lake Hillside Homes

the city around us, east side first

Silver Lake sits in the middle of Los Angeles, so most of our city calls come from the neighborhoods around it: Echo Park, Los Feliz, Atwater Village, and Highland Park and Mount Washington further up the Los Angeles River. We work across the rest of the city by appointment, and every visit gets the same care for the room and the same plain note.

west past Hollywood, along Sunset and Santa Monica Boulevards

West Hollywood packs a lot of fireplaces into a small city, many of them in older courtyard buildings and condos. Boards and owners often want to know the same thing: which units are fine and which need work. We go unit by unit, keep the shared hallways clean, and put the answer in writing.

from the flats to the hills above Sunset

A Beverly Hills house often has two or three fireplaces, and some have stone or carved surrounds that were brought in when the house was built. We cover those first, work each flue in turn, and write up every chimney on the same note so nothing gets missed.

south toward Ballona Creek, by appointment

Plenty of Culver City homes have been added onto over the decades, and the old brick chimney is sometimes the one part nobody looked at during the remodel. We check how it meets the newer framing, look up the flue, and write down what we find in ordinary words.
