We hadn't used our fireplace in a few years and wanted to clean it all up before we switched it back on (I am in total spring cleaning mode already!). I called a few chimney sweeps and Pro- tech was quick to respond and came over the very next day. John took a look at the chimney and also my dryer vent and I decided to get both cleaned. His prices were similar to the other places I had called. I also wanted to clean the fireplace and take out the logs and put fire glass in. He said they could do that also and spray paint the interior. John and his crew were very nice and cleaned up the space when they were done. The one star reduction is coz I was grossly overcharged on the glass ($150 for 10 lbs of glass and I needed 20 lbs). Afterwards, I called a few places and the price range is $60-$75 per 10 lbs and half that online. So, I guess I am burning diamonds! Anyways, the end result looks good and we are using the fireplace every day. read more

Pro-Tech Chimney Sweep - Chimney Sweeps Near Me

John from Pro-Tech is the man! Cleaned, inspected, and provided his professional recommendations on our 50 year old fireplace. They worked very clean considering the dirtiness of the job and I couldn't tell they were even in the room when they were done! I will definitely be using Pro-Tech for all my fireplace needs in the future. Bookmark this company! read more

I highly recommend John and his partner to do your chimney. The office gave me a quote that's very reasonable. They were on time and very professional in the work that they did to clean my fireplace and get rid of the beehive inside the chimney and putting a cap on my chimney. read more

This is a home maintenance item not to be overlooked. Once had a fire in my chimney due to improper maintenance. John was busy and told me he was a few weeks out. When they arrived they quickly got to work on the chimney at my new residence that seemed to have never been cleaned before. Not to mention fitted the top with a rain cap. Thanks for the service John! read more

John, Sean and Peggy are A-Team. They care so much, provide excellent service and I feel completely trusting to have them in my home. My recommendation for their stellar service could not be better. Thank you A-Team. My family appreciates you. Happy Holidays. read more

I called Saturday and John and Shawn came out on Monday (right on time at 2). They installed 2 smoke guards in a jiffy and were gone by 3:30 - and that was after they checked the outside of my chimney and cap. Rate them 5+ as John answered all my questions and worked within my schedule. Top notch with next up being a gas log install. Thanks guys! read more

I would recommend to my family and friends to use Pro-Tech Chimney Sweep. John did a wonderful job repairing the chimney at my house.

Got right too it! Very professional and honest. Will use them again. John & John good team!

UPDATE: This is the 1st spring season after the cap and dampner were installed. We had a repeat issue (not as severe) and called up John. I was very impressed again by his customer service and prompt attention. We were able to schedule a visit within a few days. John and his partner quickly realized that the dampner cord height needed to be adjusted and were able to perform the adjustments very quickly. I really enjoy working with this company not only because of the professional attitude but also because of John's knowledge. He was able to share some tricks on how to spray for bees from inside the house which will be super useful. I highly recommend this company to anyone. read more

I've used pro-tech a few years now and will continue to use them and refer them to others in the future. John and his partner do an excellent job of cleaning, fireplace inspections and with professional results. Would not use anyone else. Good time is October for appointment. Thank you John read more

Great work, great guys, great communication. They did a thorough job on my chimney and not a speck of ash or soot on my cream-colored carpeting. Great work and a great price - what more could a client want? Highly recommended! read more

I use to work for this guy. In all honesty he is the only chimney company out there that will give you reasonable prices. We once had to clean up after another chimney company and get the job done correctly. We replaced the mesh screen on top of the chimney (which they charged the people $150) and it wasn't even held down! It was just wrapped over it like foil wrapped over a bowl. We gave the people a real chimney cap for $100 (a discount from $150). He might have been slow because it hard for him to get a receptionist that travels in a van and also does side manual work. I did all that, but I'm a tomboy so it came natural to me. I had to quit because it was only a seasonal job. Too bad Cali doesn't rain as often. read more

Pros: Couple of cool guys Came on time Cleaned out my chimney quick My chimney was relatively clean already so the owner threw in some free extra work by sealing a crack Reasonable price Cons: They only serve the OC area, unless they're not busy then they will book outside of OC read more

I have been looking for a good, honest, and professional chimney sweep. I have many fires per week throughout the cold months. I have used many different companies in the past, but they have not done good work. I stumbled upon Pro Tech Chimney, and I thought I would give them a try. They were on time, very respectable, and did an awesome job. My flue has never shut due to build up that the "other companies" never cleaned. Not only does it shut now, the entire smoke box, and pipe is totally clean! John does great work, and is fast and efficient at what he does. He will be my go to company from now on. Thanks John! read more

We installed a custom powder coated chimney top, cleaned/painted our firebox, did a chimney sweep and ordered some fireballs. John even repaired a small valve connector. Scheduling was easy and John knows his craft. Great company to work with. read more

I was always worried about my chimney have been here for 22 years and never had it clean. They are fast and honest

This company is well worth it's 5 stars. The guy who came out I think it was Jack, great guy and very professional. He did a great job cleaning our fireplace and chimney. He also gave us an honest information about our gas log set that it was in great condition unlike the other company who came out told us we need to replace it. I highly recommend Pro-tech, you won't be disappointed. read more

Our chimney has not been cleaned in over 10 years and noticed that our chimney did not have a cap on it. We found Pro-Tech on Yelp and we were impressed with their great reviews. John and Shawn arrived at their scheduled appointment time. Both were very friendly. We selected one of the chimney caps that John had on his truck and he quickly installed it. He also cleared out a couple of old small bee hives inside the top of the chimney. In the meantime, Shawn was cleaning out our chimney and addressing some problems with our gas fireplace unit. Everything turned out great! We will definitely use them again and will not hesitate to refer them to our friends and family... thanks John and Shawn! read more

These guys were great! They're in high demand, so book ahead for the winter. Honest, dependable, excellent work, very reasonable cost.

Very happy we found this company. They where booked for a couple of weeks but worth the wait. Cleaned out our chimney and fireplace and put a chimney cap on. Price was reasonable and they where very clean and cautious about keeping our house clean. We will definitely use them again. read more

Pro-Tech Chimney Sweep was amazing! On time, clean and efficient! Would definitely hire again!

I rarely do reviews but this company was outstanding from my first call. My chimney top blew off and I needed either a repair or replacement so I called. They were so busy after the wind storm that the first appointment would be in January, this was November, but I was given a company name closer to my home so I said ok and called them, never got a call back after leaving several messages! Tried another company and the same thing, no answer! I called back Pro-Tech and spoke with the same friendly lady and explained to her why I was calling back. She was surprised about no return calls and opened up a date at the end of a day the next week. On the day of the appointment I was called about an hour ahead of when they would be here, the two workers showed up on time and were working in 5 minutes, fixed the top temporarily and ordered a new one, they were back today after I was called ahead of time and installed my new chimney top and were done in 20 minutes! Professional and prices reasonable! I will highly recommend Pro-Tech Chimney to all friends and neighbors! read more

Absolutely amazing people. Service was quick and efficient went above and beyond. We are just moving into our house and they came and not only fixed the fireplace but made it look like a work of art. They fixed the damper that was jammed and swept the flue with no mess. disassembled a poorly constructed gas log and reassembled it with embers sand and gravel. They took their time to do things right. They also had a spark arrestor cap and were happy to install since we were missing ours. I would highly recomend this company to anyone in need of fireplace, or air duct cleaning. My husband and I are very happy with the results and the service! read more

They came out right on time, gave me a reasonable price upfront and within an hour my chimney was cleaned and pretty new blue rocks were installed. John and his crew were very courteous and nice to work with. I will use them in the future for my vents when it's their time. read more

We purchased our home (built in the 50s!) back in April of this year and we were hesitant to use the fireplace since we weren't sure when it was last cleaned and inspected. John came over with another tech and walked us through the condition of our fireplace, chimney, and structural integrity. He uncapped the gas and repaired the broken gas pipe and installed a new one in the same visit. Also suggested and installed a new chimney cap as well. He also let us know some repairs we could do on our own. Everything was fair priced and service was wonderful. We will gladly refer Pro-Tech to our friends and family! For a very small investment, we are a lot more comfortable and secure knowing our house won't be compromised when we use the fireplace this winter season. read more

John was on-time and did a thorough inspection of my chimney. Then he advised me with several options, only one of which involved his company's skill set. I greatly appreciate his candor and choice to put the customer's needs first. read more

We have had bees in our 2 chimneys several times. We've also had birds come down the chimney. After our last "bee invasion" we decided to have them bee-proofed so we called Pro-Tech Chimney. John sealed both chimneys quickly and now we won't have to worry about that happening again! And his price was very reasonable! read more

I had a water leak through my chimney and John and colleague came out and fixed it. John got up there and took pictures to show me and we decided to put a chimney cap on and he also took the time to silicone all the possible leaks. Not one drop of rain came through on the last rain. Great job guys!! Highly recommended! read more

John did an excellent job fixing some issues with our chimney that were found during our home inspection. His company was very easy to work with. They showed up on time, completed the work quickly, and were reasonably priced. read more

Excellent service! They were quick, professional and extremely kind. Will recommend to everyone I know. This is definitely something people should do to keep their fireplace safe. read more

I had John out 5 yrs ago to clean the chimney. He told me it's clean and I didn't need service. Wow- there are honest people still out there!!! Over the last month, we have been smelling smoke inside as we burn wood. Called john again and he came out today. Turns out the chimney was full of caked on soot. Some of it even started to catch fire inside the chimney! John and his associate did a great job. We replaced the spark thing on top of the chimney and replaced the supply pipe beneath the grate. He did our dryer vent as well. I will never have another chimney guy out!!! read more

Great service from initial phone call to installation. I would definite recommend. They installed a new chimney cap as well as new gas logs.

Just had them come out to replace a chimney cap, service couldn't be better. I'm not one to write reviews, but I was so pleased with the service I'm happy to. Would recommend highly! read more

These guys are excellent. They cleaned our chimney and installed a gas log set in the fire place. They work very quickly and leave the space very clean. Then, they actually took the time and extra effort to place the embers and logs so it looks very nice. I would have expected them to run out to their next appointment after the work was done. Nice to see someone who cares about their work. read more

I based my decision to hire this company on yelp reviews, granted one of them is not worth reading because she is based out of New Jersey, I would highly recommend this company. John, the owner and Jack his assistant, were professional and efficient and definitely clean. I also voiced a concern about my air/heating vents, and John didn't even think twice, took a latter and climbed in the attic. He will be cleaning all the vents as well shortly after the Holiday season. Not only did these two awesome guys clean my 2 chimneys, they set up my gas fire log, added more embers and sand and left me a key ( to tun on gas) free of charge. I wouldn't even look any further, this company is great!!! Definitely will call them back!!!! Thank you John and Jack!!!! read more

This review is way past due. Johns company has been the only one to service our fireplace and chimney. We have been burning wood in our fireplace for 25 yrs, and hopefully if this crazy state allows it, for 25 more. We will continue to use Pro-Tech because they do great work cleaning and maintaining my chimney. We see him at least once a yr. Keep up the good work, and thanks again for the great job. read more

We had a clogged dryer ventilation, and John was fast and efficient. Took care of the clog, by going on the roof (2 story) and was able to de-clog our vent. Really quickly. Probably 20 min tops. I would definitey recommend him to others. Now our dryer works perfectly. read more

Just used Pro Tech's chimney service. John and Shawn were on time, very efficient and clean. The price was affordable and I would not hesitate to recommend them. read more

After 25 years I decided to have my chimney swept and repair the cracked panel. After watching a video on how to do it yourself, I decided it was too much of a challenge and called a professional. John & Shawn showed up on time, had all the necessary tools and ladders, swept my chimney, replaced my cracked panel and screen and provided a new cap, Cleaned up the fireplace like new. Very friendly and professional. If you need fireplace repairs in So Calif, Pro Tech is the one to call. read more

Thought cleaning and inspecting our 40 year old fireplace would be messy and expensive. Was surprised and delighted to have found Protech. John and his assistant came out same day due to a cancellation and fixed everything, including our dryer vent and chimney covers all in a professional manner at very reasonable cost. They were obviously very experienced and knowledgeable. They even helped out when they saw me trying to lift something too heavy and offered to help! On top of being extremely professional they were just nice, honest, and helpful guys! So refreshing! read more
