Learn MoreWhat we look after in West Hollywood
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. Winters here are mild, so many fireplaces sit unused for a long time and then get lit on the first cold night. A gas unit needs its burner and vent checked, and an older brick one needs a look for earthquake cracks, before that first fire.
The Houses
Around West Hollywood the stock runs to Spanish courtyard apartments, 1920s bungalows in the Norma Triangle, and condos with gas fireplaces.
Before the First Fire
A fireplace that sat unused through a mild winter can hold a bird's nest, a rusted damper or a blocked vent. Before you light it, we check the burner, the vent cap and the damper, and on older brick, the flue tiles.
Care of the Room
In a condo we bring drop cloths for the hallway as well as the room, and we keep the noise and the dust inside the unit we are working in.
Close By
West Hollywood stops sometimes fall alongside Norma Triangle, Sunset Strip, Melrose.
