You may want to call just any fireplace/chimney company...but don't do it! If you want a PROFESSIONAL who is going to assess your particular situation and not PAD their bill for a slip-shod, half attempt at resolution with a $$$$ price tag, then you're going to call John Alonso of Pro-Tech Chimney. The big plus for most people will be a fair price tag for exemplary knowledge and workmanship. However, for me it was being able to meet John and Shawn, two of the most low-keyed, nicest guys you'd ever want to meet! Give them a call...I always tell the truth, as I'm too stupid to remember how I lied the last time! read more

Pro-Tech Chimney Sweep - John and Shawn fixed the deteriorating flooring of the fireplace and crack in the sidewall. - Chimney Sweeps Near Me

I would highly recommend Pro-Tech! Called them to look into a leak and John was able to come out very quickly. He was thorough in running a water test to see the real source of the leak, took apart the chimney and had a custom order installed in about a week. He did tell me it could take 2-3 weeks from order to install but they managed to get mine done in about 1 week. read more

I'm so impressed with the service, response time and communication. Great pricing, and will definitely use them again

We don't use our fireplaces so we decided to get the chimneys capped. The receptionist was pleasant and set up an appointment promptly. The crew came out and worked quickly and let us know that the chimney was cracked and needed an extra seal. I braced myself for some big number, but it was $100 more. The work was quick and efficient and I was so happy to get it done. They also do dryer exhaust cleaning and installation, which is something I need so I'll be back! read more

The best. I couldn't be more thankful that I stumbled upon Pro-Tech Chimney Sweep. John and Sean showed up and were really great to work with. Both were friendly, direct with their assessment, and zero pressure sales tactics. Long story short, I dealt with a different company and they had me thinking my chimney was going to fall apart and sent me a quote of over $6,000. John's assessment was basically, "it's fine- here a few things you'll want to repair over time" I was pretty shocked at the difference and told him about the previous quote and he helped explain the BS the other company was trying to pull. I ended up paying an extremely fair price for the inspection and a quick repair and was all set. Pro-Tech will be my go to for any chimney services from here on out. They're great. During the winter they can get a bit busy so schedule early. They're absolutely worth it. read more

Look no further Pro-Tech chimney deserves the award for the best. They installed a chimney liner and wood stove insert in my old homes fireplace and the installation went smoothly. I could tell they are experienced because they came right in and installed the chimney liner, modified the firebox, and installed the wood stove. Very happy my old fireplace was always cold now the temperature in my home is warm on colder days without having to run my heat pump, which is expensive to run. I'm expecting my electric bill to drop. I recommended Pro-Tech. read more

Honest - on time - Does amazing thorough work and has reasonable prices. Explains things so you understand what he's doing!

Fantastic service! I was given a window of 3 to 4 and just before 3, I received a text with their ETA. They arrived promptly and professional at my door. Both clean and friendly with business card in hand. Took a look at my fireplace and found all i needed was a clamp, reducing my costs. He noticed my logs needed to be rearranged and added sand without an extra charge. Even commented that my fireplace was in good condition. John even warned me about a company scamming people. Very pleased with Pro-Tech! read more

Look no further for your chimney related needs. Recent strong wind blew down our chimney chase cover and everything on top of it. I contacted 5-6 chimney sweepers/company and roofers. I received some crazy quotes until I was referred to Pro-tech. They were very responsive and told me they can repair the parts I found instead of making new ones. Saved us a lot of money. John and Shawn arrived on time and fixed everything quickly. We are really pleased with them. They are one of few honest businesses left. read more

I had my chimney cover done over a year ago by John and it is still looking like new and I have gotten a lot of comments and questions from my neighbors about it. I have an older house and the chimney needed some TLC, it didn't have a cover before when I purchased the house. If you're lazy like me, I really put of house maintenance work until I really need to do it.. Part of it because it is a lot of work researching for a good company, whether you need contract work for remodeling or anything. It is very stressful. My boyfriend found Pro-Tech for me from a browse on Yelp. I contacted them and communicated with Peggy, the office manager the whole time for quotes and schedules. She is a very nice lady and very knowledgeable. I actually contacted them maybe over 6 months prior to actually getting them to come over to do the chimney cover for me, again, procrastinating on my part. However, the quote they gave me still was good and Peggy got me scheduled an appointment for inspection with John right away. John came to measure my chimney and provided his recommendation for the color and materials. We went with his recommendation and waited maybe a week or so for it to be made. When it was ready, he contacted us to come over for installation. John and his staff are very professional and nice! He even fixed the cracks on my old chimney that he found before installing the cover. The whole installation did not take that long and just like that, I paid the second portion of the cost and John was on his way! My neighbors have been asking me about the chimney cover every since I got it done. I'm glad I went with John's recommendation for the color because after so many rain and windy and weather, it still looks like new and it makes the whole house look better. Really recommend Pro-Tech Chimney to everyone! read more

Pro-Tech Chimney Sweep - One year after it was made - Chimney Sweeps Near Me

I couldn't be happier with the service provided by Pro-Tech Chimney Sweep. I live close to the beach and everything takes a beating. John's Installation of my new copper chimney cap replacements was awesome. From start to finish, the experience was exceptional. John and his team were not only professional but also incredibly knowledgeable. I was dreading this, but it was effortless on my part - no worries. I have a challenging 3 story house; the entire process was seamless. I will try to attach a couple photos. Remember, these copper caps will darken over the next year, so any scuffs are part of the process with copper. I highly recommend Pro-Tech! read more

Dependable, efficient and affordable! Exceeded our expectations. We will use them again.

We have 2 fireplaces in the house. One we never use and one we use all the time. Decided to get both chimneys cleaned as it hasn't been done in many years. The technicians came out on time and were very professional and efficient. They had recommended that we get a cap on the brick fireplace so they will be coming out next week to finish. We feel very happy and confident to use both fireplaces now. Highly recommend Pro-Tech Chimney for fireplace maintenance. read more

Great staff, great pricing, great service. I will definitely use them for my annual chimney cleaning.

I recently moved into a new house that had a double sided chimney, and one of the first thing I wanted to do, especially with the weather getting a bit colder, was make sure my chimney was clean and ready to use. I reached out in early January, and found that these guys are booked way ahead in advanced. The first availability they had was the beginning of February. I asked them for a quote for the job I wanted to do, and they gave me the estimates. It was on par, if not more reasonable with other chimney sweeps. I booked them, especially since they were very communicative. Two days beforehand they sent a reminder call that they would be out. The day of, they called me about 30 minutes before to inform me they were on their way. They arrived earlier than the scheduled time by like 10 minutes (which was awesome). John and Sean introduced themselves, saw the chimney and started work right away. The two worked really well together and explained the different parts of the chimney/fireplace to my wife and me. John also informed us that if we ever wanted to update the look of the fireplace, they could help with it (he left behind some brochures). The two showed me how to safely use my fireplace safely - we learned that the fireplace is a hybrid gas/wood burning one. All in all, they were in and out within 30 minutes and left the place cleaner than they arrived. read more

Fantastic experience with John and Peggy and the rest of the team. Pro-tech came highly recommended from friends that recently got their fireplace set and install and when I saw it, I had to get it for my home. Best addition to the house, hands down, especially during the holidays. They made it to easy from start to finish. Two trips to the house, first to install and second to put in the white birch logs. John went above and beyond to paint the temporary logs for me so I could have it for Christmas because the white birch I ordered were delayed coming in. Real nice folks, pleasure to work with. Now I have fire at a click of a button! read more

Quick and easy. Very responsive and they went out of their way and made sure everything was done well.

We had John come out again but this time to install a chimney cap. Estimation process was quick and easy with competitve pricing. Installation was super efficient as well. Thanks Pro-Tech Chimney Sweep! read more

I've been in the firewood business for 35 plus years. I use Pro- Tech chimney sweep . I've been disappointed in other company's over the years. . I also hear the nightmare stories from my customers, from other company's . I feel totally confident recommending this company to my customers. They do a great job, they are trust worthy . In our industry you must be very careful to get good wood to burn and get your chimney cleaned by a good company . Grace Rogers Woodhill Firewood read more

Pro-Tech came out and did a great job cleaning my chimney and making some repairs it needed.

We highly recommend Pro-Tech Chimney! They have a large service area and are great to work with. Our chimney was leaking when it rained, and it turned out we needed a new chase cover, storm collar and cap. We talked with 4 companies before deciding on Pro-Tech Chimney. John is very professional and does much of the work himself. He explained what was needed, was friendly, honest and on time. He worked with our schedule and answered our questions about additional services. Communication with Peggy in their office was great for any additional questions and requests we had. We chose to have Pro-Tech Chimney not only take care of needed repairs, but to also freshen up our firebox and fireplace door by cleaning and painting them. We even had them clean out our dryer vent. Check out their website and contact them before contracting with anyone else. They're the best in our book! Pro-TechChimney.com read more

I have John come out to service my fireplace on a yearly basis. He's always professional, on time, and friendly. No high-pressure BS.

It's been five years, probably about time for an update. We've had the guys from Pro-Tech out pretty much every year since we bought a house with a fireplace. Usually just for cleaning, which they do a phenomenal job with. They are always exactly on time, they call when they're on their way, they're efficient, tidy, and on target with their time and cost estimates. We had them out a couple of weeks ago for our yearly chimney sweep, while they were at the house, they pointed out some cracks in the firebox that should be repaired. They said they could have done it the same day, but we had other time commitments so we rescheduled for the following week. When they came out again, they were again exactly on time, on budget, and efficient. They did the job as promised and were a pleasure to work with. They do great work, they're fair, reasonable, and friendly, they offer options and don't press to up-sell. read more

Arrive on time, completed job thoughtfully and quickly with a thorough understanding of the problem to be solved. Will definitely call them again if needed - for our Irvine home chimney issues. A+ read more

So far I'm pleased with this company. They answered my request for a quote on Yelp with reasonable pricing. I called Peggy to book a chimney inspection and cleaning. She answered all my questions and even had the owner review a couple pictures of a crack inside my fireplace, free if charge! They are booked out a few weeks in advance but I am looking forward to their service onsite and will update my review here as needed. read more

These guys are awesome. I just purchased my house in Huntington Beach. I had them come out to look at the existing gas fireplace, which was not in good condition. They helped me pick out a new fixture to replace the existing, which was in bad shape. They came out, re-painted the interior, installed an awesome new fixture and tested it and played with the configuration until the flame was perfectly even and looking great. They even made some suggestions as to the fixture that I would not have considered, but really love the look. I would highly recommend them for amazing service and high level quality work. read more

Pro-Tech Chimney Sweep - new fireplace- they did awesome - Chimney Sweeps Near Me

John and Sean just caused me to feel so much more affirmed about my husband and I purchasing a house built in 1941. We asked them to come to our house to assure us that our chimney and fireplace were in good enough shape before having them install a gas log set up. We didn't think there was a gas valve shut off outside of our fireplace (tho there is one inside, womp womp) but John threw on his suit and went under our house to take a better look and lo and behold he found it. This find saved us hundreds of dollars! When they first got to the house I was telling them we'd be using the fireplace as our main source of heat as I read on John's shirt that they do air ducts as well. I asked them to take a look at our old heat registers that we thought didn't work. They, knowing their shit even as far back as 1941, saw that one still had its pilot lit. With their help we got the heat on!! We've been living in this house for 2.5 months not knowing our heat worked. (Another inspector led us to believe that it didn't!) All this to say John and Sean know their stuff. They went above and beyond and were very very thorough. We even got a spark arrester installed. All of this was in an hour. I can't recommend them highly enough. read more

We love the transformation of our log burning fireplace to a glass only h-burner style. The work was completed quickly and on time. The fireplaces look amazing and we're more than happy to utilize professionals to ensure the job was done correctly. Would highly recommend. Thanks, Paul read more

Pro-Tech Chimney Sweep - Here is the final fireplace in the living room. - Chimney Sweeps Near Me

We highly recommend Pro-Tech Chimney for chimney cleaning and custom chimney caps. Pro-Tech was responsive in scheduling our appointment and has extensive experience in cleaning chimneys. John and Sean were very careful in cleaning the chimney to make sure no mess was made. And Sean took the time to demonstrate the safe way to light a gas fireplace. In addition, John took pictures of the inside of the chimney flue. Two days after we gave them the design for the chimney cap that we initially wanted, we saw another design we liked better and they were very flexible in making the design change. We only gave them a few pictures of the chimney cap design and they were able to draw the dimensions to fit our chimney like a glove. Because of John's attention to detail, he took the initiative to change the screen in the finished chimney cap to a higher quality screen that complimented the design best. Both the chimney cap construction and the installation by John were quality work. In addition to providing exceptional quality work and product construction/installation, the entire team at Pro-Tech Chimney from Peggy, John, to Sean are extremely professional, pleasant and friendly. We are very happy with our experience with Pro-Tech and we know you will be too. Happy Customers, Michelle and Michael in Orange read more

Second time I used John and once again he did an outstanding job. 5 stars all the way!

Pro-Tech was the first company to respond to my request, and first to answer all of my questions. Working with Peggy to schedule an appointment was very easy. John and team came to the house right on time. They were in and out very quickly, did a full sweep, and also secured my chimney lid/cap on top of the roof. Performed a full inspection, inside, outside and on top of the roof. The previous company I used would not check the chimney integrity on top of the roof, so I would never go with someone that fails to properly inspect your chimney. Pro-Tech did it all very efficiently and quickly. I would not hesitate to use them again for my needs. read more

John and his partner did an excellent job inspecting my two chimneys. They were punctual and provided a thorough cleaning. I would contact them again for future services and I highly recommend them. read more

John and team were friendly, helpful, and professional. I messaged a few places through Yelp and this company was the 2nd to reply, but first to answer all my questions. We had a chimney cap installed and they were quick and efficient with their service. John even took the time to answer questions that my wife had about about our fireplace. read more

Yes, yes and yes!!! Customer service, quality, craftsmanship, and value is where this company excels. I initially called them out to do a cleaning and inspection. They could've easily taken my money but they didn't. They informed me that it was clean enough and my chimney was fine. I decided to change my call from cleaning to fire log installation. I chose the right one for us and it was installed the same day! The guys decided to stay over till the evening to finish (otherwise I wouldn't have had it for Christmas). Their service was fast. Installation, including a new chimney cap, was under an hour! I highly recommend this company. Give yourself time for the call out as they are very busy and sought after. Took me 2-3 weeks to get them out but worth the wait! Thanks John! read more

Pro-Tech Chimney Sweep - Ramussen "Evening Desire" fire logs. - Chimney Sweeps Near Me

highly recommend!!! Couldn't be happier. Promptly showed at appointed time. Went about the job and completed it speedily. Covered area so dirt and dust would be contained and cleaned up after themselves. Other than a clean chimney, no evidence that they were here. Very reasonably priced and gave a bid for a couple of maintenance items (provided pictures of proposed repair sites as well). It's great when you get what you expect - GREAT COMPANY! read more

Hiring for work to be done at our first home has been so nervewracking but I am so glad I found Protech on Yelp. From the very first contact with Peggy for scheduling to meeting John for the consult to getting repairs done on our chimney, it has been 100% smooth sailing and quality work. John has been in this business a long time and takes pride in what he does, and it shows. We are looking forward to having them return to install a new door for our fireplace. read more
