Hello my name is Robert Glaspey. I'm the Founder of San Diego Chimney Sweeps and am a Certified Technician. Our company is based out of North Pacific Beach and we service all areas of San Diego County. The Mission of our company is to get your fireplace and chimney working as it should, safe and functioning efficiently and looking beautiful!
A chimney sweep not only keeps your chimney safe, it promotes proper combustion of your fire, whether wood or gas. We use specific tools to ensure the removal of soot, ash and creosote from your firebox, smoke shelf and flue. What a chimney sweep does is make sure all of these components are clean and working as they are supposed to.
A chimney cap is a very important part of every chimney. They are integral in helping to maintain the integrity of your chimney and actually have several uses, all wrapped into one important piece of equipment. The main purpose of a chimney cap is to keep rain out of your chimney. Rain and other moisture if it gets down your chimney can cause erosion and the build up of mold over time.
Gas log sets come in a wide variety of sizes, colors and wood types. If you have a gas fireplace or want to convert to one, gas log sets are a great choice to keep things looking natural while keeping cleaning and maintenance to a minimum. All log sets come complete with all needed parts and materials, prices range from $650 and up, installed.
Most folks have similar questions on our services, take a look below at our FAQ's and if you still have a question, give us a call or email! Generally, if you are a frequent user and you have a wood burning fireplace, it's smart to have a sweep performed before every season, usually in September or October.

Robert called to advise he was just a few minutes late, which was appreciated, and allowed me to reschedule my responsibilities, and let him not rush, and on arrival he was thorough and professional. He made sure that my fireplace was workable and most importantly safe to use after a long pause. All my fears of improper operation were alleviated, glad to have my fireplace back in one visit.

I scheduled a chimney inspection and cleaning from San Diego Chimney Sweeps a few weeks ago. I was very impressed with the service provided by Mr. Steve Kurts, he was very professional, friendly and helpful in ensuring our fireplace and chimney were safe and ready to use for the season. He even waived the inspection fee when we opted to have the flue cleaned. Communication was great on his part and the service was of high quality and completed in a timely manner. I would recommend San Diego Chimney's services to anyone in need of an inspection, cleaning, repair, etc. Five stars all the way!

Top notch company that you can trust to do a timely and thorough job and only recommend work on your fireplace/chimney that you actually need and at fair prices, unlike some of the competition in San Diego. I know this from experience. The owner himself handled my inspection and cleaning appointment, very professional, knowledgeable, and friendly. Also took the time to offer advice on how to safely and efficiently use the fireplace. This is a no brainer choice in San Diego, well worth the cost. I recommend that you not chose another company just because cheaper. You may get a recommendation for

Robert was awesome! I had not used a fireplace before and was scared to try. After cleaning out my fireplace, Robert spent the time to show me how to turn it on, give me safety advice, and answer all of my many questions. He was patient, professional, timely, and thorough. I would absolutely use him again and recommend him to anyone.

Robert is fantastic at what he does and completely stands by his work.
We had him inspect our house when we first moved in, he identified chimney problems and gave us a fair quote on repairs. After finishing the repairs, he mentioned to us a few things to watch out for when the weather gets cooler (it was summer at the time). Sure enough, come December a few more issues (the exact ones he said MAY happen) happened. Within a few days of contacting him about the issues he was back on my roof making the necessary modifications to get things sealed up and energy efficient (he considered it part of

So I usually don't do reviews, but I just had San Diego Chimney Sweeps come to check out our fireplace. We've been freezing at night but we haven't used our fireplace b/c I needed peace of mind we would be using it safely. He was beyond amazing! He sat down with me and explained all about our specific chimney and it's history of how our specific one works. He showed me a few things that aren't ideal at the moment BUT he gave me free options to deal with the issues. He also said one of the issues does not have to be dealt with now and it's safe to use. I NEVER felt

Robert did an outstanding job checking and cleaning our fireplace and chimney. He was very thorough and explained all parts of what he was going to do. Our house is about 32 years old and the chimney had been checked only once in that time and I had some concerns about it.
Robert reassured me of the current condition after checking and cleaning the fireplace and chimney. He went up on the roof and inspected the chimney which was found to have some cracks. It was also discovered that the metal cap on the chimney was missing. He installed a stainless steel one to keep the cinders from flying

Let me start by saying that Robert has customer for life in me and if anyone within my family or friends needs their chimneys cleaned or fixed I'm referring them to Robert.
We were in the middle of escrow during the cristmas holiday season and I might have called at-least 20 people to inspect our chimney. Unfortunately they all were busy, but I'm glad I was able to get a hold of Robert. Even though he was busy as well, he understood the situation we were in and came out to do the inspection. Once we closed on the house he also did the needed repair and saved us some money by not needed

Robert provided amazing and honest service. Just had my gas furnace serviced and was told to get a chimney cleaning. I contacted Robert, and he fit me Into his busy schedule immediately, came by on time, and EVEN clarified that no cleaning was needed based on his inspection. Talk about honesty and integrity.

Robert is a super responsive owner. He comes to my house a few hours after I call and gave me very professional advise. His rate is super reasonable. I will not go to anyone else but him for Chimeney and fireplace cleaning. Super highly recommended. He is honest, courteous and best of all greatest price in town.

Robert cleaned our chimney and installed a screen in the fireplace to make it give off more heat. He also serviced our dryer vents. He alerted us to potential work our fireplace will need in the future but was no pressure as far as getting it dome immediately. He is very knowledgeable and explains everything he is looking for and doing.Highly recommended!

Robert was really great to work with. I used him for a property inspection of a chimney and fireplace.
He explained the different types of inspections and recommended a Level 2 property inspection for my needs. It was nice of him to explain things so clearly, and I appreciated how he broke it down and made it easy for me to understand.
I was under an extremely tight timeline, and he made it happen for me. He worked within the restrictions with no issue, and was extremely nice and accommodating about the whole thing.
He put together a high quality video of the critical part of the inspection
