After 40 years, my gas fireplace gave up the ghost. They sent Reza for a visual inspection first, because safety is the most important thing. (There is a low-hundred's charge for that.) Then they sent me a quote, which I accepted and which stayed the same through the whole process. They refurbished my whole fireplace unit, replacing it part by part, so it's the equivalent of new! Reza took it away in the morning, vacuuming and cleaning the hearth area and the flue, and brought it back, refurbished and shiny, five hours later. Reza was prompt in arriving, quick in his work, thorough, skilled and professional. He even quickly painted the bottom plate a nice matte black. Upgrades are available, like remote ignition or a wall timer, but I didn't go for those and it was no problem. I will be inviting FS back for visual inspections every year so I can extend my unit's life as long as possible. I really appreciate their efficient system of invoicing, document transfer and distributed responsibility for communication. Have this work done NOW, while it's still summer, because they will get very busy in the winter! Chestnuts roasting over an open fire, here I come! read more

They did an excellent job and were professional. They explained to me what was done and how to operate the new burner pipe they installed, as well as some things that needed my attention. They found things that could be done better (like propping Up the wood grate at a superior angle for safe burning) and they did it for me. They answered my questions. Additionally, they did a sweep for me and they didn't make any mess in my living room. I appreciated that I could ask questions and wasn't made to feel silly. Very nice guys that came out to work on my fireplace. I'll be using for future sweeps and any repairs that may be needed as time goes by. read more

Fireplace Solutions The Chimney Sweeper - Perfection - Chimney Sweeps Near Me - Van Nuys, California

Tis the season to repair your fireplaces and be warm! That's exactly why I contacted this company. I searched high and low for a company I could trust with reasonable prices. It's safe to say Fireplace Solutions was the choice. Their respond time is great and their work left my house very warm, perfect for the winter. read more

My original review was a one star because the guy that came out had told me he had never seen this kind of insert, never mentioned any concerns then sent me a quote for 3700.00 in repairs. I called the company before writing the review but no one was there that could talk to be about the quote. I posted a bad review to get people's attention to physically look at what is claimed to be a problem before agreeing to repairs. The problems that were mentioned I still feel are not needed. Before I could call the company back, the owner called me. We spoke about a half hour or so. He explained the business side and explained the consumer side of receiving a quote and how many would have the repairs done even if in reality they were not needed. He said he would speak with the technician and find out why he thought they were. I suggested they begin the letter for the quotes as suggestions and why they felt it was needed, not just we did the sweep and you need repairs. We both listened. I'm changing the review to a 3star because he did call and seem to appreciate what I had to say. read more

Our HOA hired Fireplace Solutions The Chimney Sweeper to clean & inspect our dryer vents throughout our condominiums. They were willing to work on the weekend & accommodate all the homeowner's preferred times. We asked other owners experience of their arrived at our next meeting & all agreed their work was professional and priced well. We will use this company again next year. read more

Really? How do these people have so many good reviews? Sure, they are pleasant enough with their small talk, but they will give you a whole list of repairs (half of which aren't necessary) and then charge you a crap load for the work. They gave me an estimate of 1600 (for low-end parts). I ordered the parts (stainless instead of galvanized) and did it myself for 380. Save yourself some $$ and go somewhere else. Or better yet, do it yourself. read more

I called them this past week to service our fireplace at the office and they did a great job. They came out the day after I called them. They were fast, affordable, and friendly. Our office will definitely be using them for regular maintenance in the future! read more

Fireplace Solutions The Chimney Sweeper - Thank you Fireplace Solutions, not sure we would make it through the winter without you! - Chimney Sweeps Near Me - Van Nuys, California

See all

This company is a total rip off. The homeowners association made all condo owners replace the fireplace system that was there in a condo I own. I rent out the unit and my tenant was an elderly gentleman that had caregivers. NOBODY ever used the fireplaces. When I changed tenants the new tenant complained the condensation made the fire hard to see and it never went away so the glass was clear. This company wanted to charged me $250.00 to come out and look at each unit. I had to chase them to find out what the problem was after the inspection. When I finally got the report the info was only on 1 fireplace, not both, and they wanted $1100. to replace the glass in each unit even though the fireplaces had never been used and they must have been defective to begin with. Don't do business with these people unless you have lot of money to throw away. read more

Very great people. The winter that just past I wanted a new fire place. My house is a very old house so when the winter is here I usually freeze and it gets really cold. This year it was no different , I didn't want my family to freeze nor to be cold anymore so I searched up a place or someone that can make me a fire place or fix mine. I called and first let me say is that they were really friendly and kind. The price was 160$ and they said it would come out so and so and I agreed. 5 hours later it was done I was so happy because now only were they able to help me with my problem but also help me with my family. This winter was the most cozy to be at home due to the fact that we didn't have to freeze. I've seen a lot of people complain but it's all not true. Restless to day I do recommend him and would like to recommend him to anyone looking to get they're fire place done. read more

A big thank you to the whole team at the Chimney Sweeper for being so kind, responsive and flexible. I had to reschedule my service request twice in two days. Cyndi and molly were very helpful and they were able to accommodate my change of plans. The second time I asked if they could come on the weekend. They said it's unusual but due to my circumstances they made arrangements to come Saturday. Jeff and Dan came right on time and were quite courteous. I cane thank them enough for their outstanding customer service. read more

My house is about a hundred years old I don't use the chimney at all but I wanted to make sure it was clean from the previous tenants, in case I wanted to use it. I found this place and had them come over, they cleaned the chimney and I was happy with the service. read more

Fireplace Solutions is truly amazing. I called them for a quote. They came the next day on time as promised. The pricing was very reasonable and the service was amazing. I would recommend this company to any one who has any fireplace needs. Thanks again Ian. read more

As you can see, I do not write many reviews, but I am so disappointed in this company, I had to write one. My Wife and I are currently in escrow and needed an inspection for the chimney. We looked on Yelp and this company had 78 reviews with a 5-star rating. After reading some of the reviews I decided to call. Our experience started out great...we were able to schedule a Friday appointment the Wednesday before the inspection, the inspector (Kevin) called 40 minutes before he arrived at the house, and was on time. Kevin was knowledgeable, professional, and cleaned up the debris that came down the chimney during the inspection. The problem came the following Monday. I called at 10:22am to check on the inspection report and was told by Gabby we would be receiving the report by email in the afternoon. I stressed to her that our deadline to remove the inspection contingency was due by end of day and was assured it would be sent. At 4:00pm I checked my email and no inspection report. I immediately call, was told all the managers were gone for the day, and there was no one available to approve our inspection report till the following day. We missed our inspection contingency deadline. UNACCEPTABLE! read more

I am a real estate agent and my client called Fireplace Solutions to come out and check the chimney for our inspection contingency. I do remodel for clients for the past 10 years, in addition to real estate, so I'm not a total novice to this business, however, when it comes to things out of my wheelhouse I rely on the inspectors. Don was our inspector and prior to him even looking at the FP I told him the fireplace was repaired after the 1994 earthquake per a permit that was pulled, he immediately said it was probably repaired with a wood frame and although that was the way they did it back then, it was signed off by a building inspector and per code, it's not safe now. When he finished his inspection, I proceeded to ask questions on my client's behalf and instead of answering them, he was rude, dismissal and said none of my questions were relevant bc the FP needs to be removed at 20-25k. When I asked about putting in gas enclosed option vs a wood-burning fire, if there was a fire cap, etc.. he threw his hands up, rolled his eyes and said: "I just told you there are no options"! Being in this business for years, inspectors are notorious for telling buyers it's much worse than it really is to get the business. I'm not sure if this is the case, however bc of his arrogance and awful attitude I am reluctant to take him at his word. I am suggesting a second opinion. I go the extra mile for all my clients and suggested a chimney inspection in the first place to ensure they are moving into a safe situation or if not, at least they understand what their options are. I would NOT go with this company. I will update this after our second inspection. read more

Very knowledgeable and it was very easy to work with them. They were always good about responding to questions and being there when promised. They also went out of their way to keep everything clean. Good choice for fireplaces. read more

The service is great and the people who work there are really nice to me. I had a good time working with them. Also i'm really happy about how they had done a great job on my chimney. I'm really satisfied! read more

We set up an appointment to have the service come out and clean our chimney/barbecue fire box. They sent out a technician named Jeff Shields, he was here at 10 o'clock came in looked at the fire box. Told me they could not clean the stack or the box because it was use for a barbecue and there was grease in the system. He got up on the roof looked at the at the chimneys stacks. This took all about 10 minutes total time. He said he called his office to inform them, and said it will cost me $179 for the service. I didn't question him because I believed that his front office gave him the price. He left I then called the front office and question the price the man that I talk to inform me that that was the price because of their expertise again I told him the time that he was here was 10 minutes. I've been around a long time I'm 74 years old and I know when I'm being scammed. I hope anyone that's looking at using his company reads this fully. After the call that I made my credit card was immediately charged. Dennis read more

Fireplace Solutions The Chimney Sweeper are very professional and clean. We had set an appointment with one of their technicians, Jeff. He was super nice and courteous. Jeff made sure that my moms house wouldn't get dirty with the soot from the chimney. After a couple of hours my moms chimney was clean and as good as new. Fireplace Solutions The Chimney Sweeper is the company you want to clean your chimneys. I highly recommend them! read more

Jeff was prompt and professional, and best of all got my fireplace to work beautifully - something the "other guys" couldn't manage!! Highly recommend! read more

I have a gas fireplace that intermittently would not work. I called another 5 star company first. They sent out a technician who informed me that I had a bad part that would need to be replaced and quoted me $785.00 to replace the part. With that kind of quote, I felt I needed a second opinion. I then called Fireplace Solutions who sent out a wonderful man named Jeff who did a thorough inspection of my fireplace. Turns out that is was simply corrosion on my on/off switch and if pushed lightly may not work. Sure enough, every time I push it with a bit of pressure, the fireplace comes right on. He even showed me how to replace the switch (by the way... IT'S A $4.99 PART!!!) should it stop working altogether. He was personable, highly professional and saved me from getting ripped off by Talbot Brothers for almost $800! They are now my absolute "go to" for any issues with my fireplace. Thanks gang! read more

Purchased our current home in 2001 and have never used the Chimney due to its poor condition. Called Fireplace Solutions to come out and give us an assessment and they did a very thorough evaluation and recommended a few necessary repairs. I also called two other companies out to provide quotes and found Fireplace Solutions had not only the best price but seemed the most knowledgeable in regards to what was needed. Crew came out on the scheduled date and then returned again promptly to finish the job after I had to have a gas line replaced as we were incorporating a gas burning feature. Very satisfied with the work, the communication and the cleanliness. Highly Recommend read more

Appreciate all the hard work. Very sharp and informative. Had some issues with my gas fireplace and my regular one. Got them both fixed. Plus I got some additional decorative things done. Everything came out pretty sick! read more

These people are AMAZING!!!! I had gotten an estimate of $1875 to fix one of our fireplaces. That person said we needed all kinds of work done and gave us a very detailed estimate. I called Fireplace Solutions and they sent their best guy out - he said that the line was clogged. He unclogged it, and DONE! This company saved us literally thousands of dollars. I cannot say enough good things about them!! The next time we need any work done on our fireplace, we know who to call. Thank you, Fireplace Solutions!! read more

I had a competitor give me an estimate, it was expensive so naturally I looked around. Showed these guys what needed to be done. Not only did they beat everyone else's price they provided me with more options and ideas of what to do. They sweetened the deal. I respect and appreciate that! read more

I hired Fireplace Solutions specifically for getting me a new chase cover and chimney cap to be prepared for the winter. Setting the appointment up was easy. The communication between me and their staff in the office I had no problems with. About the only issue I had was their technician that arrived about a half hour late. They did explain that there was some heavy traffic so welcome to LA! Overall they did what I asked them to do. I would recommend their work. read more

I say Yay! on the responsiveness-- the owner definitely got back to me within the quoted 1 hour response time, but did not provide me with a quote-- I had to call the office to get one. But I say Nay! on the overall service because they aren't able to provide a confirmed date for an inspection until May-- not great when you're in escrow and need to have an inspection done before you can close on the house. Back to calling around, I guess. read more

Every year they get better and better. I always have enjoyed getting my chimney swept by these chimney experts. Super intelligent and nice peeps! They agreed to work out of their regular service area although they did charge an additional fee it was worth it. I also got an estimate for some of the components of my fireplace that needed maintenance. thank you very much read more

Dan, the technician, just left with his assistant Jose. I have not met a more courteous, professional team in a long, long time. Not only did Dan thoroughly evaluate my situation (a cap had blown off in the wind), but his recommendations and expertise were amazing. He took before and after pictures and the work he did was tremendous...and best of all, it was totally covered in the price that Molly, the lady in the office quoted me when I first called. I highly recommend this company for anything regarding your chimney from the most minor issue to a major rebuild. And by the way, I learned I don't really have a chimney after all. What I have is a "chase". Call them and they will explain the difference! read more

My dryer stopped drying my clothes and I couldn't figure out what was wrong with it. Best Buy came to my house and told me that the dryer was fine. They recommended the chimney sweeper to come out and clean out my dryer vent. Kevin came out and cleaned the whole thing for me in less than an hour. My vents were plugged and filled with lint! Now my dryer works like new again! They are cheap, clean and professional! I highly recommend them! read more

I am so happy I found this place! Kevin came and fixed my fireplace today. I literally FROZE when the cold wind/rain came into my living room this winter. Kevin put a new stopper in my fireplace with an easy to open lever so that its easy for me to open and close when I need to. Thank you to Kevin and Fireplace Solutions - just in time for next week's rain forecast! read more

I have a wood burning stove which requires a specialist to attend to. Fireplace Solutions was very prompt via email and even though they had to cancel on a Saturday because the technician got sick, they sent out another technician the next day. He did a great job. Recommend them and will be using them again in the future. read more

Fireplace Solutions Called to book an appointment. The time was set for 12-4pm. At 3:30pm I was told they need to reschedule as the technician had truck issues. I said no worry and they offered me "first thing Monday, as early as I can do it." I asked if I should still be able to get to work by 9am and when they confirmed it was not a problem I booked 7:30am and arranged and paid for a ride for my kids to school. At 7:45m I called the office and they said he was stuck in 405 traffic. At 7:55am the technician called and said he was about 1 hour away. I expressed my frustration and gave him the history, he said he was not aware of my concern or timeline and do I want to reschedule. I said no. I called the office at Fireplace Solutions who said there was nothing she could do, the technician showed up late and she had worked all day Friday to arrange the schedule. She said I'd get a nice hefty discount and "she's more frustrated than I am,...what can I say my technician is a jerk" The repair person arrived right at 9am. After inspecting the fireplace I was told the starter valve was broken and would need to be replaced. Of course they didn't have the parts with them but assured me they would order the part asap and have the office call me with a eta. That was 3 weeks ago, I never heard from them again. I basically payed $100+ dollars for nothing. read more

Wow, where to start. First you'll notice lots of either one star or five star reviews, that should be a warning right there. So I drive 30 minutes to get to the store, and ask for a simple $20 part. I am super friendly, the guy that got the part was friendly, all is well. Then the money man says that will be $179... and I'm thinking, that must be a verbal typo, so I asked to clarify the price he says yeah that's what I can do today is $179. Looks me straight in the eye and tells me that for a $20 part at Home Depot or Amazon. How do you do that and expect for customers to come back? I'm still puzzled. I guess he just simply didn't want to write up the order. Great lesson to teach my kids about customer service and doing the right thing, so I guess I win. read more

Fireplace Solutions did an exceptional quality service in my chimney and for a good price too! Will continue to do business in the years to come ! If I can give them 6 stars I would their customer service is amazing . read more

I had given up hope on ever using my fireplace ever again. I hadn't use it in over ten years until I called Fireplace Solutions The Chimney Sweepers. The guys that came out to fix/clean my fireplace was two of the nicest young men I have ever meet. They took great care of me. I highly recommend them to all my friends and to anyone looking to use their services. Thumbs up. read more

When I called Fireplace Solutions , I was assisted by an astonishing employee named Cyndi . She accommodated my needs and got a good quote too . Will definitely continue to do business with them! read more

These guys were johnny on the spot when we purchased our gas fireplace inserts from them. but, boy when we needed service. I didn't get a return call back from over three messages. then when I did get someone to talk too, the girl seemed totally not with it and said she'd schedule but it would cost me $289 just to have them come out, and they would give me a day but not a window until 3 days before. I said fine, but not between 1-3, I get a text and that's what they give me. when I call she said sorry, not really much I can do. Horrible customer service. I told her that and she was like (imaging popping gum) - "yeah I understand sorry about that ..." whatever. phil's fireplace servicing on yelp have great reviews. have left a message him. move on people. read more

Jeff's professionalism and knowledge was outstanding. All the pointers he gave in how to maintain my chimney were very insightful. Great guy ! read more

Cyndi and Don are the best! I always look forward to giving them a call because Cyndi is so nice and we always have a laugh. I work for an HOA and have called on The Chimney Sweeper quite a bit in the past few months. They have always been responsive to my needs and flexible. Their pricing is fair and they do good work. Don is usually the tech that comes to our building and he is a great guy. Always enjoy working with quality vendors and nice people; would definitely recommend Chimney Sweepers for your fireplace needs! read more
