Learn MoreHow we work in Hollywood
Hollywood starts a few blocks east of West Hollywood, and its courtyard buildings are close cousins of ours: several units around a garden, each with a fireplace that may share a stack with the one next door. We map which flue serves which unit before we sweep, then note each one separately. Up in the hills, brush grows close to the houses and dry offshore winds can carry embers far. Hillside chimneys get a cap and spark arrestor check on every visit, and down in the flats, nearly a century of earthquakes means we look hard at the crown and the top mortar joints.
In a Building
In a courtyard building we map which flue serves which unit first, then sweep and inspect each fireplace and note it on its own.
In a House
Hillside houses get the cap and spark arrestor checked and photographed on every visit, along with the crown and top mortar joints.
Same Day, Nearby
Hollywood visits often share a day with Hollywood Hills, Hollywood Dell, Spaulding Square.
