Kent’s oldest homes are on Scenic Hill and around downtown, built from the 1900s through the 1940s with brick chimneys. East Hill, Lake Meridian, and Panther Lake grew in the 1970s through the 1990s with masonry and factory-built fireplaces, and West Hill overlooks the valley with 1960s and 1970s homes.
We sweep, inspect, and repair chimneys, service gas fireplaces, and install inserts across Kent and Covington.
Kent Valley traps cold air on still winter nights, which means burn bans are called here as often as anywhere in King County and creosote condenses quickly in a cool flue. East Hill’s 1980s factory-built fireplaces are showing their age with rusted chase covers and cracked panels. Scenic Hill’s older brick chimneys need crowns rebuilt and joints repointed after decades of rain.
Kent follows Puget Sound Clean Air Agency burn bans. EPA-certified inserts may burn during Stage 1; open fireplaces may not.

Evergreen Chimney Sweep serves homeowners in Seattle and the surrounding cities. We sweep, inspect, and repair masonry and factory-built chimneys, and we work on wood, gas, and pellet appliances.
Seattle’s wet climate is hard on chimneys. Water gets into crowns and flashing, brick faces spall, and dampers rust. We look for these problems on every visit and tell you what needs attention now and what can wait.
