North Seattle chimney cleaning, neighborhood by neighborhood

10 neighborhoods, one crew that knows them street by street. Our whole footprint fits between the Ship Canal and the city's northern edge — Ballard, Fremont and Wallingford along the water, Greenwood, Phinney Ridge and Green Lake on the ridge, Ravenna, Wedgwood, Maple Leaf and Northgate to the northeast. Every one of those streets is a route we already drive, most of them weekly.

The chimneys up here have earned their keep. Most were laid between 1900 and 1930, when the streetcar lines pushed north and the bungalows and brick Tudors followed — which means original masonry, lime-rich mortar and flues that were often never lined. Add the marine breeze rolling in off Shilshole Bay and Puget Sound, a drizzle season that runs for months, and the odd hard freeze prying at every saturated joint, and you have brick that rewards attention and punishes neglect.

That's why it matters who climbs the ladder. Our own crew handles every job — no call center, no rotating subcontractors — and they can tell a Ballard box flue from a Ravenna Tudor stack at a glance, because they see both every week. Since your block is already on our route, scheduling is simple: pick a real open slot on the calendar and we confirm it.
