It might sound simple, but chimney sweeping is a detailed process that requires an expert's care to be done right, and it's key to keeping your chimney functioning and your home and family safe. Whenever you use your fireplace or stove, your chimney is working to keep harmful substances that result from burning fuel - gases, smoke, particles, minerals and more - safely contained and then removed.
Chimneys get lots of regular use. Chimneys that act as outlets for central heating units and those that are installed with fireplaces need regular maintenance. Chimneys build up residue on internal chambers. The more heavily used the chimney is, the greater the build up becomes. In wood burning fireplaces, creosote is the chief source of chimney fire when the build up reduces the free flow of air in the flue chamber.

While it took my husband and me quite a while to find a repairman who is a available to replace the cover on our chimney (probably due to the pent-up demand from the pandemic), it was well worth the wait to hire Golden Gate Chimney. John arrived exactly on time, inspected our chimney, and - as luck would have it - he had a stainless steel cap in his truck which fit our chimney perfectly. We are very impressed that he had already anticipated what size chimney we have based on the photos we sent him in advance. As a result, he was able to install it and complete the job in only 1/2 hr., start

Critical: Professionalism, Responsiveness
John arrived promptly and inspected my chimney. Seemed like a nice guy. After going up on the roof, he just left. No communication at all, even after I sent texts to inquire about a quote and whether he was returning. I thought that was very unprofessional.

I do not usually write reviews but I thought the service of John and Golden Gate Chimney was so good I would pass the word along. John was easy to work with, knows his stuff is courteous and creative when it comes to looking for solutions. The job was done as expected, on time and with very little disruption to my home and time. Their prices are fair.

The last thing I expected to come home to were a couple of squirrels in my chimney! The sound of their screams was blood curdling at best and rather distracting when my husband and I were trying to figure out what to do. Animal Control won't come out unless an animal is loose in the home. They suggested calling a contractor or chimney sweep. We called the first chimney sweep that popped up locally on Google. After what seemed like hours they finally called back and denied the request but said they could be out first thing in the morning! Knowing fully that that wasn't an option we went back to

The two John's are a pleasure to work with and truly are passionate about what they do. Good companies always start with that important characteristic, the rest takes care of itself.

Golden Gate Chimney Sweep is the best chimney service we have ever employed. In our 35 years of living on the cold and foggy west side of San Francisco , we have had several companies clean our chimney. John was on time and went the extra yard to thoroughly clean and service our fireplace. I would recommend Golden Gate Chimney to anyone whose serious about burning and maintaining their fireplace.
