- Serving Seattle, the Eastside, and South Sound
- Upfront pricing before any work starts
Seattle has more than a century of housing stacked side by side: Craftsman bungalows in Wallingford and Ravenna, Tudor and Colonial revivals on Capitol Hill and in Mount Baker, postwar ramblers in View Ridge and Wedgwood, and new townhomes with factory-built fireplaces in Ballard and Columbia City. Each type fails in its own way, and we work on all of them.
We sweep and inspect chimneys, repair crowns, flashing, and liners, install inserts, and service gas fireplaces in homes from Magnolia to Rainier Beach.
Pre-1940 homes in Queen Anne, Capitol Hill, Wallingford, and Phinney Ridge often have clay tile liners that have cracked after decades of use, and unreinforced brick stacks that the 2001 Nisqually earthquake showed to be a real hazard. Mid-century homes in the north end have shallow fireboxes and rusted dampers. Across the city, water is the common enemy: cracked crowns and failed flashing let nine months of rain into the brick.
Seattle also sits inside the Puget Sound Clean Air Agency burn ban area. When a Stage 1 ban is called, open fireplaces must go cold and only EPA-certified stoves and inserts may burn. Many of our Seattle customers add an insert for exactly that reason.
Send us your zip code and a few words about the fireplace. We reply with a fixed price and available dates. Late summer is the best time for exterior repairs, and September is the best time to book a sweep before the fall rush.
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.
