Straight answers first
There is a standard playbook in this trade: advertise an impossibly low cleaning price, get through the door, then tell the homeowner the chimney needs thousands of dollars of urgent repair. Sometimes with photographs of somebody else's chimney.
The guidance on this site is written to separate what needs doing now, what can wait a season, and what does not need doing at all. Plenty of chimneys turn out to be fine, and that is a perfectly good outcome.
This site lists 40 Los Angeles County cities as service areas —Los Angeles and 39 others. That is a deliberate limit on scope. A city being listed is not a promise that every address in it is covered, so ask us before assuming either way.

When not to call us
See all service areas →If you have never used the fireplace and it is a gas log set. Gas logs deposit almost nothing. If it has been sitting unused, an annual sweep is money you do not need to spend — a visual check every few years is enough.
If the problem is your roof, not your chimney. A good share of leaks blamed on chimneys are roof failures near the chimney rather than chimney failures. We will tell you when it is a roofer you want, and we will not charge you to hear it.
If your area is not covered. The service-area list shows the cities on this site. If yours is not on it, send us the ZIP and we will tell you either way — a straight no is more useful than a vague maybe.
The standard behind the guidance
The standard the trade works to is NFPA 211, the National Fire Protection Association standard for chimneys, fireplaces, vents and solid fuel-burning appliances. It is where the three inspection levels come from. Those levels describe scope, not a menu — tell us what you are dealing with and we will tell you what we can cover rather than assuming a level for you.
Liner condition is not visible from the hearth or the roof, which is the reason we push back when someone tells you a chimney is unsafe without having looked inside it.
