Highly recommend! Had two chimneys cleaned and Armond fixed an issue that I wasn't aware of, but would have become a problem. Armond is responsive, thorough, offers fair pricing. He's is also a very nice and trustworthy person. Couldn't recommend more highly. read more

I honestly can't recommend Royal Chimney Sweeps enough. We just moved into our new home and wanted the chimney and gas line checked / serviced before using it for the first time. Armond was incredibly knowledgeable, helpful and friendly throughout the process. I'm new to gas fireplaces and it was great to get a walkthrough / safety lesson from a professional. We'll definitely call them again for any future chimney needs. read more

First time using Royal Chimney Sweeps and was very pleased Armond came out to my home he was very professional and knowledgeable he gave me advice on some do's and Don'ts on using my fireplace which I appreciated. I will definitely use them again read more

What a great company! I don't think I have had the double chimneys cleaned for about 20 years. I looked on Yelp and these guys got great reviews and they were able to come within a few days, during the busy November season. They protected the rain gutters while putting up the the ladder. Armand and Andre were courteous and explained a few fire-safe tips and showed me how to open the damper. They were upfront and reasonable with the pricing for our 1938 house's needs. Armand recommended some repair work to the flashing and concrete cap that we will be doing soon. Would give them 6 stars if I could! read more

Royal Chimney Sweeps - Cleaned out and ready for action Nov. 2023 - Chimney Sweeps Near Me - Pasadena, California

I found Armond on yelp and couldn't have been happier that I did. He was able to give me a prompt appointment; was on time; finished within the timeframe he told me it would take; and gave me step-by-step instructions on how to care for my fireplace/chimney moving forward. It has been well over 20 years since this fireplace has been used so I expected the worst and got the best. read more

This is the second time I've used Armond at Royal Chimney Sweeps (once at my parents and just this past weekend at my house) and both times were a pleasure! He was communicative, transparent and efficient. He walked me through what he thought I needed, and what would be the best solution given the different problems and I felt he was honest the whole time. I have a one year old so safety and preventative measures was at the top of my mind and he went above and beyond to get me set. Could not recommend him enough! read more

Very highly recommended! Royal Chimney Sweeps does the job right for a fair price. Armond did a great job with my chimney sweep and gas burner/log installation this morning. He'd been scheduled only for the chimney sweep, and I'd been intending to install the gas burner myself, but I'm so grateful that Armond was able to add that on today for a very reasonable price. He did a thorough job of checking for gas leaks and examining the existing firebox and gas line, and he talked me through everything I needed to know as a first-time owner of a gas fireplace. He even saved me money on some extras I'd bought that I don't need. And my fireplace looks beautiful! Armond was very courteous and friendly - genuinely a nice guy who you're happy to have in your home - and he kept an eye out for my cat so she couldn't manage an escape. Truly an exemplary experience with great customer service! read more

Armand at Royal Chimney Sweeps was professional, friendly, and helpful. Communication was excellent and straightforward. Pricing was reasonable and competitive. I really appreciated that he heard what I had to say and answered my questions clearly. He made suggestions for what I could try to do myself to maintain/repair the chimney in addition to his services. I highly recommend Royal Chimney Sweeps and will continue to use their service. read more

We had Armand from Royal chimney sweep come out a week ago and"clean " our fireplace. This was the second time that we've used Royal. First of all his prices have more than doubled since the Eaton fires. I don't believe that scare tactics are good PR moves! Armand came in after."cleaning" the fireplace which took less than an hour. He showed us photographs from the base of the fireplace walls where it was shiny. To make a long story short he told us that if he did not return on Monday 72 hours later that we were sure to have a chimney fire if we used it, He had to return to do a complete creosote treatment and replace the chimney cap and top which would cost a few thousands of dollars. We had one of his competitors come one week since he"cleaned" it. They showed us a bucket full of ash that had come down when they cleaned it. Royal's competitor, said: "Clearly this fireplace has not been cleaned!" I would NEVER RECOMMEND ROYAL CHIMNEY SWEEPS! read more

The windstorm last week blew off our chimney cap and honestly, if it didn't land in the driveway, I might've never noticed it missing. Called around to replace the cap asap before birds make a nest in there or rain coming down. Armond responded quickly and was able to come out the very next morning. He assessed the repairs needed and got to work quickly. As someone who doesn't know much about chimneys, Armond explained well why the cracks on the crown can be an issue when it rains. Extremely honest and an expert at his craft. The after pictures! Would definitely call again for any chimney related work in the future and recommend to friends & family. read more

I can't thank them enough. From the first call to the final wave bye, this company was exceptional! He returned my call in a timely manner, explained the process and provided a fair estimate. I called a few days later to schedule the appointment and again he returned my call promptly. Armond & Andre showed up on time, explained the process and went to work on this old chimney. Armond was kind, friendly and knowledgeable. Once they were finished, they cleaned up and off they went... with the exception of my now clean chimney, you'd never know they were here. Great job read more

Armand is the best!! Responded quickly, came next day, was so thorough & friendly & reasonably priced. He's our chimney guy now for sure!

I called Armand to service the chimney. I was surprised he came so quickly after the Eaton Canyon fire. He was extremely professional and diagnosed what needed to be done. He performed his work diligently and cleaned the chimney and added the cap. He also let me know that part of the crown was cracked and came the following day to repair. I considered his price very fair for the work performed and for his suggestions on maintenance. E Carroll read more

We are located in the vicinity of the fire-impacted zones of Pasadena. We had to get our chimney cleaned out from the ash/debris that came in, get a new rain cap installed, and have some minor repair work completed. Right off the bat, Armond was friendly over the phone, promptly returned my call, and was flexible when I needed to reschedule the first appointment. The service itself was great - chimney is looking very clean, the rain cap is nicely installed and looks good, and the crown of our chimney is sealed up and fixed. Armond also took a lot of time while at our house to explain things to us, like how things work, recommendations for good maintenance, and some safety items we should start. Overall, he was here on time/early, and worked great. Prices were very reasonable and very worth the cost to do the work we needed. We are feeling great about having chosen him for our work. Thank you! read more

As a first-time chimney owner who has no clue what they're doing, I highly recommend Royal Chimney Sweeps. I noticed efflorescence in the chimney and called to have someone check it out. They were easy to get a hold of and schedule an inspection, during the inspection they notice a crack in the chimney above the roofline and were able to repair it the same day. They gave great advice on things to continue monitoring and general tips to help protect the chimney. read more

Armond was quick to respond when we first called. In his visit he was attentive, considerate, knowledgeable and very professional. He walked us through the process and helped us to figure out what things needed to be improved immediately and which things we could wait on. So glad we called him and would definitely recommend to anyone that n need. read more

Armand is such a gem. Initially, he came to clean our fireplace, but after much consideration, we decided to use him for changing out our system and the curtains that cover the fireplace. He is such a knowledgeable and friendly man. I look forward to using him and his company many more times. read more

If you're looking to get your fireplace serviced, look no further than Royal Chimney Sweeps. We recently bought our house and didn't know where to begin with the gas fireplace. I tried getting quotes from other places, but Armond was by far the easiest to get in contact with and very patient and clear in explaining what we needed and how much it would cost. He was able to come the next day and showed up on time to our house. He worked within our budget, and our fireplace looks amazing!! I highly recommend him. read more

We have used Armon a few times on our fireplace. It was a wood burning fireplace so he would come and sweep it. We just had him install a new set of gas logs and burner and his man André did a great job! Armon guided me all the way in purchasing the gas set. There has not been a night that goes by that we haven't used our fireplace. And I'm grateful to him every time I look at it. It's refreshing to work with someone who cares about the client and is not trying to get over on them. He is honest, his prices are competitive, and I can't recommend him enough! read more

Royal Chimney Sweeps - New gas Fireplace...now I need to find a good person to build a hearth and tile this bad boy! - Chimney Sweeps Near Me - Pasadena, California

I moved into a place that has a fireplace and I've never had one before. It looked really dirty and full of spider webs. My partner said I needed a chimney sweep, did his research, and set up an appointment with Royal Chimney Sweeps. Armand came in and educated me. He pointed out things and explained how they could be potential problems and told me how it can be fixed. He did it in a way that was comforting instead of being an alarmist. The prices he quoted was beyond reasonable as I've heard of problems with fireplaces costing an arm and a leg. After he cleaned the fireplace, it was like night and day. He also put on a new cap, fixed the crown, fixed the cracking brick outside of the fireplace, and put on a clean out door. Everything he did, he went into detail in explaining why it was needed and it all made sense to me. Originally, I had a wood burning fire place but because it can be so messy and I wasn't comfortable with it, I asked if he can turn it into a gas fireplace. There was already a gas line to light the wood so he was able to do his thing and add gas logs. He made it such a simple process and went through the process of how to light them and how to shut them/the gas lines off. I'm thrilled with how they turned out! Next up, I have a fire pit out back that's in beat up shape so I'm excited to have Armand come back! read more

Called Armand for a routine fireplace clean and chimney sweep. He was extremely communicative, let me know when they were on the way which I really appreciated. They were so clean and extremely personable. I appreciated that they really made sure the place was spotless. Armand was also very kind to my dog and shared some pics of his adorable shepherds. Truly 5 star service and people. This is the only company I will be calling for our annual clean. Thank you Armand! read more

Armand came and assessed our issue, fixed everything that needed to be done and then came back to show us how to light a proper fire. It doesn't get any more kind and professional than this. Armand is very caring and I wish there were more business owners like him. We love Armand and we will keep him forever! He lights up our world! read more

Excellent all around. Armand and his crew were punctual, polite and extremely knowledgable. I told then exactly what I wanted and they did the job like pros. My house was built in 1927, but the fireplace has been completely reborn in 2024. Thanks! read more

Armond and his team really came through for us, and he's just the nicest guy ever! From the first time I spoke with him to his first visit with us he has been consistent and the consummate professional. On time and communicative. He is very knowledgeable and really helped us understand the best practices for the right methods for this fireplace. He and Andre were thorough in checking everything He was able to identify what we needed done immediately and did not try to sell us on unnecessary repairs. He advised what we needed to be aware for the future and by the time he left the fireplace was in use! They are very thorough and they are also extremely considerate with being neat and tidy. They had their own rugs which they put down when they came in to put their equipment on while they worked and cleaned everything before they left. The cost was reasonable and I know when we need anything else for the fireplace this is the ONLY company we'll go with! Thank you again Armond! read more

We have a fireplace that we have not used since we purchased the house so we had Andre from Royal Chimney Sweeps come clean and inspect it. He was on time, kind, and knowledgeable. After everything was cleaned, he walked us through various repairs that needed to be made and explained how the fireplace worked. He didn't try to sell us anything and even suggested that we could do some of the work ourselves if we are handy(haha, we are not!). Needless to say, we had them back to fix our crown and replace our damper and ash dump/clean out doors. Armond called to tell us he and Andre were running 20 minutes late, which was nice. We got another run through of everything that was done and they did a final check for gas leaks. All the replacement parts looked really high quality compared to what we had in place before. I definitely thought our chimney and fireplace got the royal treatment and will have them out again for future maintenance! read more

We called them and Armond came to clean our potbelly stove 2 days later. Armond is nice, reliable, honest and funny guy. He and his associate cleaned the stove which hadn't been used for 30 years in around 40 mins and he pointed out what we need to repair. He taught me how to do it in detail. Although I decided to ask them to do it when they are leaving, he gladly did it for us. Also he made sure if we are okay with the additional cost for the repairs. They were quick and did it beautifully. We are so glad we called them and will definitely ask them again when we need maintenance. read more

Although I added a review a few days ago, I also wanted to post photos. I appreciate the quality service and craftsmanship. It's a small condo, but it heats the entire room and adds value to the condo. Thanks again. read more

After our previous chimney sweeps seem to have disappeared, I decided to give Royal Chimney Sweeps a call. Armand promptly returned the call, his prices seemed reasonable, and so we scheduled a visit for the following day. He arrived promptly, completed the work in a very professional manner, and ended out fixing a chimney issue I didn't think could be fixed. To say I was incredibly pleased would be an understatement. My wife then asked if he could/would clean our dryer vents as well. He could and did, finding enormous amounts of lint in our ducts, and so his visit became even more valuable to us. He even kindly reattached a fallen slat from the side of our house. Mix all this professional competence with a wonderfully kind, polite demeanor, which he has, and you've got a first rate experience. Needless to say, we've found our new chimney service. Highly, highly recommended! read more

Very professional outfit that serviced my 70 year old chimney. Provided great advice on how to get it back in serviceable condition without pressure to do everything at once. read more

I recently bought a house and have been finding things that need to be fixed (). I was wary of turning on the fireplace because I was scared lack of care would find several bird families living in it . I called Armand to come do a clean and general inspection. I also needed a cap. Armand and Andre showed up and we're wonderful. As a single female it's easy to be talked down to and made to feel inferior and these guys has not one iota of this. They explained everything they were doing, placed the cap, cleaned out the fireplace ( and left no evidence they had even been there) and confirmed that my chimney crown needed to be replaced ( my inspection had said the same). Neither they nor I could do the crown that day so we booked for the future. Fast forward through the rain and the first sunny weekend Andre was up on the roof. The crown is beautiful. I am beyond happy. I can't say thank you enough!! read more

We bought our house 3 years ago and have wanted to install a gas log set (fireplace was already plumbed for gas) . We finally decided to go for it, but wanted to get the chimney sweeper and given a checkup before we put in the burner and logs. We were really glad we did, the chimney was really dirty and had a few other issues, which Armand and his crew were able to point out and explain. For everything they did, they gave me costs and explained other options and the associated costs. It was a great experience, they know their stuff and are happy to give a full explanation. They went above and beyond to make sure we knew what they were doing. Courteous, straight forward and just overall nice guys. Highly recommended! read more

The guys came over and cleaned the chimney (which really needed it) but more importantly I've not used my fireplace for years because the pan broke from the gas. They were amazing I can't tell you how much I missed my fireplace and now I'm sitting here with my fur babies enjoying the warmth and beauty of my clean useable fireplace. Thanks so much read more

Armond was great! We recently had some repairs done on our chimney and got our fireplace unit replaced with a new one. He was thorough and efficient and honest with his work. Pricing was reasonable and good. He made recommendations for services he felt we needed and advisement for those he felt wasn't necessary. He wasn't pushy with services. He and his assistant, Andre, were both very easy and friendly to work with. Communication was also excellent. We plan on using him for future maintenance. Thank you, Armond! read more

I reached out to Royal Chimney Sweeps to install a new gas log set after another vendor repaired our chimney. Armond called me back quickly and scheduled an appointment for a couple days later. He and his colleague Andre were thorough and professional the entire time they were installing the log set, ensuring that everything was installed and functioning perfectly before they left. A few months later, we smelled a small gas leak. We called Armond and he walked us through possibilities over the phone and scheduled an appointment for the next day. He was quick to identify a small leak from the old pipe (NOT the pipe they had installed) and suggested potential repairs. He completed the work in the same visit and we've been happily using our fireplace ever since. We would highly recommend Armond and Royal Chimney Sweeps - we'll be calling them again. read more

Armond and his coworker showed up on time and evaluated my chimney which had some big cracks in it towards the top. Armond said if something inside is lifting the cracks cannot be filled in until they fix the inside and it would be a couple of thousand dollars I'm so glad they are so honest and said ur all good cause I would of never knew if they was telling the truth or not. He explained my cracks are from water cause I didn't have a chimney cap so he and his worker filled in all the cracks and put a chimney cap on and two hours later was as good as new. Thank you Armond for the honesty read more
