What chimney sweep looks like in Santa Paula
The Thomas Fire began just north of Santa Paula in December 2017, and the hills behind town still carry dry brush every summer. A tight spark arrestor and a crown without cracks matter more here than almost anything else we look at. A typical visit here covers complete creosote and soot removal, smoke chamber deep cleaning, and hepa-filtered vacuum and drop cloths at the hearth, so what we quote matches the chimney in front of us instead of a number picked off a price sheet.
