Kirkland mixes 1960s and 1970s homes in Juanita, Kingsgate, and Norkirk with newer construction in Totem Lake and along the Lake Washington waterfront in Houghton and Moss Bay. Older homes generally have masonry wood fireplaces; homes built after 1990 usually have gas fireplaces or factory-built wood units.
We sweep and inspect chimneys, service gas fireplaces, install wood and gas inserts, and repair crowns, flashing, and dampers across Kirkland.
Finn Hill and Juanita sit under heavy tree cover, and uncapped flues there collect needles and the occasional nest. Waterfront homes in Houghton and Lakeview take wind-driven rain on the west side, and we see flashing leaks and spalled brick on those exposures more than anywhere else in the city. In Kingsgate and Totem Lake the 1970s factory-built fireplaces are reaching the end of their listed life and often need chase covers and caps replaced.
Kirkland follows Puget Sound Clean Air Agency burn bans: no open fireplace use during Stage 1, no wood burning at all during Stage 2.
Send us your zip code and a few details. We reply with a fixed price and available dates. Gas fireplace tune-ups are best booked in September before the first cold week fills the calendar.
Leaks, cracked crowns, spalling brick, failed liners, and stuck dampers fixed before water damage and fire risk spread.
A top-to-bottom check of the flue, liner, crown, cap, and flashing, with the findings explained in plain language.
Creosote and soot removed from the firebox to the cap, the flue checked for blockages, and the hearth left clean.

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.
