About us
North Seattle Chimney Pros looks after the flues and fireplaces north of the Ship Canal — sweeping, inspection, relining and masonry repair for the character homes of Ballard, Fremont, Green Lake, Ravenna and their neighbors.
The neighborhoods north of the Ship Canal went up in a hurry between about 1900 and 1930 — craftsman bungalows in Ballard and Phinney Ridge, four-squares in Wallingford, brick Tudors around Green Lake and Ravenna — and nearly every one of them was built around a masonry chimney. A century later, those chimneys are still working, still beautiful, and quietly overdue for someone who understands them. That's the whole reason North Seattle Chimney Pros exists: a crew that treats a 1912 flue as original architecture worth preserving, not a teardown waiting to be sold.
Our approach follows from that respect. Every job opens with a genuine inspection — liner, crown, cap, flashing, mortar — photographed so you see exactly what we see up there. Then comes a written quote for what the chimney actually needs, and nothing it doesn't. Whether it's a seasonal sweep in Greenwood or a full stainless reline in a Wedgwood mid-century, the standard never changes: careful work on old masonry, documented from start to finish, by people you can reach again next year.
How we work
Old chimneys attract two kinds of contractors: the ones who guess, and the ones who look. We look. Every visit walks the full system, the findings arrive as photographs rather than warnings, and the only work we recommend is the work the flue genuinely needs — agreed in writing before a single brick is touched.
Licensed, insured, accountable
No fine print and no surprises — just the commitments we bring to every rooftop in the footprint.
Licensed and insured for North Seattle home-improvement work. We carry what the state requires and stand behind every repair.
You get a clear written quote — with the deposit and balance shown up front — before any work begins. We recommend only what your chimney actually needs.
Every job is documented with before-and-after photos, so you can see exactly what was inspected and what was repaired — no guesswork.
Completed work comes with a written warranty document, so your repair is backed in writing — not just a handshake.
A clear deposit — never more than 50% — shown up front on your written quote, with the balance due only once the work is finished and you're satisfied.
The crew that quotes your job is the crew that does it — no call centers, no rotating subcontractors.
