Renton’s oldest homes sit near downtown, in North Renton, and along the Kennydale hillside, many built in the 1940s for Boeing and Pacific Car and Foundry workers with compact masonry fireplaces. The Highlands, Talbot Hill, Benson Hill, and Fairwood added 1960s through 1990s homes with masonry and factory-built fireplaces, and newer construction fills the Cedar River valley and Maplewood.
We sweep and inspect chimneys, repair crowns and liners, service gas fireplaces, and install inserts across Renton.
The 1940s chimneys in North Renton and Kennydale are small, often unlined, and built with mortar that has softened after 80 years. They are candidates for relining before an insert goes in. In the Highlands and Fairwood the calls are more often about cracked crowns and rusted dampers from decades of rain. Homes on the Kennydale slope facing Lake Washington take wind-driven weather on the west side.
Renton follows Puget Sound Clean Air Agency burn bans: no open fireplace use during Stage 1, no wood burning at all in Stage 2.
Send us your zip code and what you need. We reply with a fixed price and open dates. If you are adding an insert to a 1940s fireplace, book an inspection first so the liner is sized correctly.
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.
