Chimney Service
Your chimney is one of the most overlooked systems in your home, and it matters for fire safety, indoor air quality, and everyday peace of mind.
Many homeowners live with the same problems for years. Creosote and soot building up inside the flue with every use. Smoke that backs up into the room instead of drawing properly. A damper that sticks or won’t seal. A cap or crown that’s cracked, letting in water, birds, or nesting animals.
Green Star Remodeling cleans, inspects, and services chimney systems that fix these problems. We sweep and clean the flue, firebox, and smoke chamber to remove built-up creosote and soot. We inspect the full chimney system for cracks, blockages, and animal intrusion. We clean and restore fireplaces for safer, more efficient use. We repair dampers, caps, crowns, and liners to keep the system weathertight and code-compliant.
We manage the entire process, from inspection through cleaning to the final walkthrough, as a licensed Los Angeles contractor with over 20 years of combined experience. Because a cracked crown or a failed cap is often the same water intrusion problem showing up at the roofing line, we can address both in one visit, and chimney work is frequently folded into a larger full home remodeling scope.

Los Angeles Chimney Services
Chimney Cleaning & Sweeping
Full sweep of the flue, firebox, and smoke chamber using rotary brushes and HEPA-filtered vacuum extraction. Removes soot, debris, and buildup so your chimney drafts properly and burns safely.
Chimney Flue Cleaning
Focused cleaning of the flue liner from firebox to cap, targeting the glazed creosote and soot layers that build up along the interior walls with regular fireplace or wood stove use.
Creosote Removal
Removal of Stage 1, 2, and 3 creosote deposits using mechanical brushing and, where needed, chemical creosote treatments. Left unaddressed, creosote buildup is one of the leading causes of chimney fires.
Fireplace Cleaning
Cleaning of the firebox, hearth, and surrounding masonry or surround, removing ash, soot stains, and residue. Improves both the safety and the everyday appearance of your fireplace.
Annual Chimney Maintenance
A yearly inspection and cleaning service scheduled before burn season, catching creosote buildup, cracked mortar, and worn components before they become safety issues or costly repairs.
Chimney Inspection
Level 1, 2, or 3 inspections of the flue, firebox, damper, cap, and crown, following NFPA 211 industry standards. We document findings and provide a clear, written report of any concerns.
Chimney Cap & Crown Repair
Repair or replacement of damaged caps and crowns to keep water, birds, and animals out of the flue. A cracked crown is one of the most common sources of chimney water damage.
Damper Repair & Replacement
Repair or replacement of stuck, rusted, or poorly sealing dampers, restoring proper draft control and preventing heated or cooled air from escaping when the fireplace isn't in use.
Animal & Debris Removal
Safe removal of nests, debris, and animal intrusion from the flue and chimney cavity, followed by cap installation to prevent birds, squirrels, and raccoons from returning.
Chimney Liner Repair & Relining
Repair of damaged flue liners or installation of a new stainless steel or clay liner where the existing liner is cracked, deteriorated, or no longer meets code.
Partial Chimney Service
A single sweep, an inspection only, or a cap replacement, without a full annual maintenance visit.
Why Schedule Chimney Service in Los Angeles?
★
Fire Safety & Prevention
A chimney service in Los Angeles is one of the most important safety maintenance items a homeowner can schedule. Creosote is flammable, and buildup left unaddressed is a leading cause of house fires. Regular sweeping and inspection catch the buildup before it becomes a hazard.
★
Better Draft & Fireplace Performance
A clean, well-maintained chimney draws smoke out efficiently instead of pushing it back into your living space. Servicing the flue, damper, and cap keeps your fireplace performing the way it's meant to, season after season.
★
Hidden Costs of a Neglected Chimney
A cracked crown lets water into the chimney structure, leading to spalling brick and interior damage. Animal nests block airflow and create fire risk. Delaying chimney service in Los Angeles often means paying far more for structural repair or relining than a routine cleaning and inspection would have cost.

Equipment & Methods
Cleaning Equipment
We use rotary brush systems, flexible rods, and HEPA-filtered negative-air vacuums to remove creosote and soot without spreading dust and debris into your home.
Creosote Treatments
For glazed or Stage 3 creosote, we apply industry-approved chemical creosote treatments that break down hardened deposits mechanical brushing alone can't fully remove.
Inspection Standards
Our technicians follow NFPA 211 Level 1, 2, and 3 inspection protocols, the industry standard for evaluating flue condition, clearances, and chimney safety.
Repair Materials
Cap, crown, and liner repairs use stainless steel, refractory mortar, and code-compliant materials selected for durability against Southern California heat, wind, and rain.

FAQ
FAQ
How much does chimney service cost in Los Angeles? ▾
Chimney service costs in Los Angeles vary based on chimney size, creosote buildup, and whether any repairs are needed. A standard sweep and cleaning is a smaller investment than a full inspection with cap or crown repair. We provide a free, detailed estimate after an in-home inspection so you get an accurate number for your specific chimney.
How often should a chimney be cleaned? ▾
Most homes benefit from a chimney sweep and inspection once a year, ideally before burn season begins. Chimneys used heavily through the winter, or those with a history of animal intrusion or water damage, may need more frequent attention.
Do you offer same-day chimney cleaning service in Los Angeles? ▾
We offer fast scheduling and same-day service when availability allows, particularly for urgent issues like a blocked flue, smoke backing into the room, or an active animal intrusion. Call ahead and we'll do our best to accommodate your timeline.
What's the difference between chimney cleaning and creosote removal? ▾
Chimney cleaning is the full sweep of the flue, firebox, and smoke chamber. Creosote removal specifically targets hardened, glazed deposits on the flue walls, which sometimes require chemical treatment in addition to standard brushing when buildup has reached Stage 2 or 3.
How do I know if my chimney needs repair instead of just cleaning? ▾
Signs include a cracked crown, a damaged cap, water stains near the fireplace, a damper that won't seal, or visible gaps in the flue liner. Our inspection identifies these issues and gives you a clear picture of whether cleaning alone is sufficient or repair work is needed.
Is chimney cleaning necessary if I only use a gas fireplace? ▾
Yes. Gas fireplaces don't produce creosote the way wood-burning units do, but the flue can still collect debris, animal nests, and blockages that affect venting and carbon monoxide safety. We recommend an annual inspection even for gas systems.
