Detail & finish
Signed before we start
A warm room, safely
A Pasadena Craftsman was built by hands that knew what they were doing. Repairing one asks the same.
I opened this shop on Fair Oaks in 2026. I did not start in 2026. I spent years before that on other crews, up ladders all over Pasadena, South Pas, and Altadena, learning what a Craftsman flue does in a winter rain and what it does after a fire season. I went out on my own because I wanted to work by two rules. Never leave a house dirtier than you found it. Never quote a job I would not stand behind at my own family's Sunday table.
Every rooftop crew we send has years on San Gabriel Valley roofs. Every job gets a written flat-rate quote before we start. We are a new business and we say so plainly — what we are not new at is the work. Every ticket we write ends with a signature you can call back at 2 a.m. through the winter rains.
Not the biggest chimney shop in the San Gabriel Valley — a new one, run out of Fair Oaks by a sweep who has been on these roofs for years, and who still picks up the phone at 2 a.m. through fire season and winter rain.
We opened on Fair Oaks in 2026, after years working San Gabriel Valley rooftops for other outfits. Owner-run, owner on site for most jobs, one yard on one block.
Every visit gets a camera pass from firebox to cap, a written report with photos, and a flat-rate quote before any repair — no guesswork, no upsell.
Every review from an actual Pasadena, Altadena, San Marino, or South Pas homeowner. A short list, because we opened in 2026 — but not one review bought, traded, or filtered.
Written quote before we start. The number you sign is the number you pay — no hourly meter, no add-ons at the door.
Based at 380 S Fair Oaks Ave, we cover Pasadena and every foothill neighborhood inside a 40-minute reach from the shop.
Live dispatcher 24/7. Flat-rate quotes always on paper. Free assessments on every non-emergency visit inside the San Gabriel Valley.
Yes — we dispatch sweeps and masons 24 hours a day, 365 days a year from our shop at 380 S Fair Oaks Ave. Chimney fires, post-wildfire ember checks, atmospheric-river water intrusion, and post-earthquake masonry damage all get emergency routing with a live in-house dispatcher who picks up before the third ring.
We aim to reach Pasadena and 91105 addresses within the hour, and same-day service throughout the San Gabriel Valley is standard. Priority routing for active emergencies goes to whichever roof-ready crew is closest at the time from our Fair Oaks yard.
Every day. Pasadena, South Pasadena, Altadena, Sierra Madre, Arcadia, San Marino, La Cañada Flintridge, and Eagle Rock are all part of our standing service zone. If we can reach your address inside 40 minutes we will dispatch, and travel is free anywhere in our zone.
Every job — annual sweep, camera inspection, flue relining, crown rebuild, Craftsman-era masonry repair, historic fireplace restoration, custom fireplace design — is flat-rate quoted in writing before we lift a brush or a brick. No hourly meter, no line-item surprises, no charge if you do not approve the estimate. Post-fire and post-quake emergency calls carry a modest dispatch fee we disclose on the phone.
Every rooftop tech is a full-time chimney sweep with years on San Gabriel Valley rooftops, and every mason has rebuilt hundreds of Craftsman-era stacks. You get a written flat-rate quote before any work starts and a written report with photos when we leave.
