Your Chimney Partner for Every Property in Pasadena
Family-run, CSIA-certified, fully licensed and insured. Visits work around building access and whatever schedule a property manager sets.
How This Company Started
FH Chimney Sweep started on one job, working to a simple rule: treat every fireplace the way we would treat our own. Single-family clients keep booking us for that reason, and so do property managers who oversee several addresses across Pasadena, one unit at a time or the whole property at once.
Three generations carried this trade forward, grandfather to father to founder. What each one passed down was a habit: check the same points on every visit and write down exactly what turns up, never rely on memory alone.
Every fireplace gets the same care here, a single-family home or one stop on a multi-unit building's route, it makes no difference. Technicians train all year, and each visit closes out with photos and notes added to your file.
How We Approach Every Job
These are the standards every technician follows, one property at a time.
Gas Conversion Done Right
Pasadena's Craftsman and Spanish Colonial homes weren't built for gas inserts. We size, vent, and line every gas conversion to match the original firebox dimensions and your home's specific flue geometry, so you get clean burns without compromising a historic chimney.
CSIA-Certified Inspections
Every technician on our crew holds current CSIA certification. When older Pasadena homes change hands, we perform Level 2 camera inspections that meet NFPA 211 requirements and give buyers and sellers documentation they can trust.
Built for This Valley
Pasadena sits at the base of the San Gabriels, where Santa Ana winds push fire risk higher and earthquake micro-cracking weakens mortar joints you can't see from the ground. We inspect for both, because a chimney that looks fine from the curb can have fractures hiding behind the crown.
Straight Answers, Fair Quotes
We show you photos from inside your flue before recommending any work. If your 1920s clay liner just needs a cleaning, we'll say so. If it needs a stainless steel reline for a gas insert, we'll explain exactly why and what it costs before we start.
