Thanks Tim for helping us clean and inspect our wood burning stove at a reasonable price. You were professional, courteous and a friendly and kind human being. We will recommend your services to everyone. read more

Tim is great! I found him through Yelp after my previous fireplace cleaning professional retired. He did an excellent job cleaning and inspecting my fireplace (Tim was a lot more thorough than my previous guy!!) He's very professional, knowledgeable, and experienced. He communicated really well throughout the process from the time I requested the quote until the job was complete, which I really appreciated. He uses high quality equipment including a camera to ensure everything is properly cleaned upon completion. Provides a detailed report with his invoice which is potentially very helpful/useful if ever needed for insurance purposes. I will definitely be using him every time I need my fireplace cleaned/inspected. I highly recommend him! Great value and peace of mind knowing everything is clean and safe to use. read more

Tim is a great guy! I texted him after listening to his voicemail recording with my inquiry for a fireplace repair. He was nice enough to respond with a phone call to learn more even though he doesn't do this kind of work. This was all while he was handling a power outage at home, getting his kids and juggling them at the grocery store. I later sent some photos to him along with a previous inspection report and he basically told me the condition (in a much more detailed pages long text) that the guy I paid to do the inspection never told me in a way I could understand. He also made suggestions on what I could do and how to keep things functional and retain some appeal. All in all a great guy who seems to go above and beyond. If this is his way when I'm not even a paying customer then I can only think his work ethic and responsibility to his paying customers must go above and beyond. I felt compelled to leave a review even though none was requested. I'll definitely be recommending him to friends and family that I want to keep! read more

Tim was fantastic - easy to communicate with super responsive by text. At the last minute, we had to switch our scheduled appointment and he was very accommodating. He was very knowledgeable and answered all of our questions and was happy to have us tagging along to watch the video inspection in real-time. We learned what was going on with our wood-burning chimney -- and he recommended a company that could potentially help fix it. I'd definitely work with him again! read more

Tim clearly knows what he is doing and gave me a ton of confidence that my fireplace is safe to use. And now it's all very clean! Super clear communications including a confirm of our appointment the day before. Highly recommend. Also very reasonable pricing. Call him! read more

Tim is knowledgeable, helpful and a true professional who cares. He solved all our fireplace issues and made it very straightforward for us to achieve what we were trying to achieve. He is prompt and really makes it happen. Great work. read more

Tim was SO nice, he was efficient personable and extremely knowledgeable. He called to alert me that he would be 15 minutes late which is above and beyond in what you would normally get for customer service. I will be having him come yearly to clean the creosote out of our wood burning stove as the price was right. Thanks Tim! read more

Tim's Hearth Inspections & Services - Fireplace Services Near Me - Santa Rosa, California

We are extremely satisfied (and thrilled) with the service we received from Tim. We came into this very disappointed by the service we had received from another chimney company in the county, so we were a little cautious. Tim allayed our fears immediately. He answered every message promptly and completely. He was very upfront about what was needed and gave us options in an honest manner. He got our wood stove up and running again and gave us advice for future steps. We will have warm and toasty fires this winter thanks to Tim! read more

Great communication and service. Quick to respond and very knowledgeable. Glad to have this business in SoCo. read more

Tim completed a long overdue flue inspection and chimney sweep and a dryer duct cleaning for us this past week. His work ethic is amazing. He was very thorough and left both looking new (though both are anything but new). He is a true pro and takes pride in his work. His prices are very fair and you can rest assured you are in good hands. Do not hesitate to call Tim! Just a terrific job. read more

Tim came for a chimney clean/inspection. He was extremely informative. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to others. He showed us before and after pictures. Explained any issues and recommendations. He is extremely knowledgeable and professional. read more

Tim is the best! Professional, cleaned everything up afterwards, inspected or chimney because we had a chimney fire. Very fast response. Honest, ethical and reasonable prices! Highly recommend! read more

Forgot the appointment, communicated through text to try and make it out here, never messaged me back. This company had great ratings, but they never followed through with the scheduled appointment and never followed through with when someone can get out here. Never heard from them after they said they would reach out to me read more

Tim was great to work with. He was able to fit us into his tight schedule and certainly seems to be an expert in the field. We had him out for an inspection on a fireplace prior to finalizing a home purchase and discovered that there are some major issues that need to be addressed for our safety. Highly recommend! read more

I had an excellent experience with Tim. I recently purchased a new house and was unfamiliar with everything about my fireplace. Tim conducted a full inspection, sent me a complete write-up, and made specific recommendations for improvements and safety. He was very responsive in scheduling the appointment and follow-up. I will gladly be hiring him for my annual fireplace cleaning and inspection. read more

On time, works with text messaging, and is very knowledgable. Was very protective of the home, using multiple drop-cloths to ensure a clean environment and no mess for the homeowner. Assessment and report was thorough and professional. Very fair rate. read more

I had Tim out to my house today. Had the chimney "cleaned" by another guy and within 3 months I was getting smoke coming back into the house. Called Tim, explained what was going on and he agreed to come out and take a look. Had an appointment within 2 weeks. He cleaned everything, and explained in great detail what was going on. He is very knowledgeable. Took a lot of pictures. Price is very reasonable and he's a good guy. Give him a call. read more

After an exhausting search for a fireplace servicing company to call me back (Meaning, I called several places that never even called me back) I found Tim who happened to answer the phone and got me scheduled in less than a week! He was very professional and knowledgeable! He did a great job and spent ample time with us explaining his assessment. You can tell he runs his business with true integrity and I'm glad no one else called us back. We 100% recommend him! read more

Tim is super responsive and professional. His work was excellent and he even has good delivery when he has to give you bad news. He explained everything and not only showed me live video, but then sent a report and photos. Very impressed. read more

Great communication before and during the inspection. Tim was super respectful of our home, explained everything he was doing, and the outcome of his work. He provided a thorough and honest report of his findings. Highly recommend. read more

Tim was so great! He was really speedy in getting back to me, was in touch with me the day of to let me know of any time changes and anticipated arrival. Once at the house, he kept it really clean - taking off his shoes before he came in, plenty of drop cloths, etc. to keep the ash off the furniture. He cleaned the fireplace and explained the damage done by the previous owner and what our options are. He did a thorough job on the chimney, answering questions I had and providing a full report for us. I will definitely use him again! read more

Do not pass this guy up. If you want quality, integrity, follow-through and brilliance, Tim is your guy.

Tim is awesome! Confirmed appointment the day before and text with an estimated ETA the day of service. He arrived on time and took the time to explain the process and answer any questions. He really goes above and beyond to provide outstanding service. read more

Tim was fantastic! Arrived on time. Friendly and knowledgeable. Explained everything he was doing and why. Would absolutely recommend to friends and family--in fact I've already been doing just that. read more

Tim was responsive honest and communicated really clearly sa out what he could or couldn't do. He wasn't sure he could fix our stove but offered to vacuum it out and that did the trick. read more

Great service. Tim was very easy to make contact with and was able to book me a very reasonable date for service (much sooner than 2 other companies I called first). He arrived on time and was very professional. The visit was for a basic clean/sweep. He was fast, efficient, and reasonably priced. He made sure to clean up everything before he left, as if he was never there. He answered questions I had and was very knowledgable. I highly recommend him and will be using him regularly going forward. read more

Tim performed a thorough assessment and sweep of my chimney and woodstove out in West Sonoma County. I was impressed by his responsiveness and dependability (Being on time, prepared and a great communicator). When I had some questions arise after his sweep he was immediately responsive and made a 2nd visit promptly to address my questions, which helped me learn more about how to properly use my woodstove. With respect to his service, he was thorough and provided a comprehensive report, which he keeps to help address future questions. Such a great guy and service I had to post an excellent recommendation! Thank you, Tim! read more

Tim is out of this world AMAZING! He showed up with professional gear mask clothing and equipment! We were desperate to get someone out here because our stove was smoking, unfortunately some modifications that were made to our chimney and he quickly realized we did not need a sweep! We needed a inspection. His final report included pictures , and all the details and it was 100%professionally done. This time of the year it is so hard to get someone to come do a sweep , in fact I called over 25 different companies in this area and he was the ONLY one that actually picked up the phone, and fit us into his schedule. All I can say is WOW WHAT A THOROUGH ASSESSMENT! Thanks Tim read more

Tim was great! On time and very informative and professional. We received the cleaning and inspection we were hoping for! We got bad news on our manufactured fireplace but he had many options for us to think about moving forward. read more

Great,job and a full written report provided with detailed information on repairs needed to be done on our fireplace. He also gave us referrals as to who could best do the repairs. Thank you Tim. read more

Tim inspected 2 chimneys in our House in the East Bay. I found Tim very knowledgeable and he explained in much detail the state of our chimneys. Tim was on time and did the job perfect and made sure all that our floors and carpets were not getting dirty by laying down cloths. Afterwards he walked us through the inspection reports and give us helpful advise on what to do next. I can highly recommend Tim! Christian read more

Tim came to clean a wood stove at a rental on our property. The previous tenant had burned a LOT of trash in the stove. The pipes were so old and corroded that he said he could not understand how the rental had not burned down years ago. Tim spent two hours breaking off creosote and corrosion from the top pipe. He also did an excellent job on the wood stove in our home. While he was there, he got a phone call from the person who gave him the one-star rating. He spent 20 minutes looking in his phone for the number and the calendar and did not find any such appointment. He also looked in his day planner and did not see any such number or appointment written down. I am sure the irate customer just called the wrong person in the first place. Time made sure we got Eric Crumley to come out and replace everything from stove to roof within 2 days. Tim was not expecting this job to take almost 5 hours, but he did not raise the price from the original quote for just cleaning 2 wood stoves. He is the best! read more

Excellent work on our chimney, prompt response and communication during the scheduling process and day of, and personable service. Tim got the job done and gave us some great tips as well. Highly recommended! read more

I set up an appointment with Tim three weeks out and he was very accommodating to my tight work schedule. The day of the appointment he turned up right on time, he was careful and considerate of the furniture and my dogs well being. The work was conducted in a quiet and clean and careful manner. He took photos and completed an electronic report that he explained to me very carefully. He is such a nice guy, loves his job, is so passionate about the safety aspect of the fireplace. I learnt a lot about my fireplace and how it works, in fact I felt guilty that he spent so much time going over everything with me for what I consider to be a very decent price. I would have paid more for all he did besides clean the fireplace! I highly recommend Tim and will certainly call him again. What a great guy!! read more

Outstanding. Seriously went above and beyond to help evaluate our four chimneys. He spent the day evaluating and servicing them all, took the time to discuss finding with my wife, and sent me the written reports the same day. Additionally he told me to use Cliff's Chimney service as they are the gas fireplace experts. I told him they could not come until February and he agreed to come out. He saw a few issues today and again recommended Cliff's for repairs. Here is a man starting a business and telling me to use his colleagues service. Tim is a true professional. I would happily use him again and recommend him, definitely if you have wood fireplaces. read more

Tim did an amazing job. I received quotes from several other companies and he was very inexpensive in comparison. He was very professional and knowledgeable. He was also very reliable and on time. I highly recommend his chimney sweep services! read more

Prompt service and clear expertise! It is so nice to find an honest person who came all the way to SF to check out our chimney. He recommended we skip an inspection and gave us ideas for next steps. Highly recommend you use Tim's services! read more

Thorough, gracious, responsive, humble! Tim's fantastic, I look forward to getting him out again for chimney sweeping in the future. The inspection report he provided was detailed and he spent the time to walk me through everything, especially the things I just didn't understand. Thanks Tim! read more

Tim contacted me on the day of my appointment to make sure I was still planning for him to come. He showed up just when he said he would. And he actually took off his shoes before he entered the house-I didn't ask him to that's just part of his great service. The prior sweeper put the bricks back in my insert incorrectly so I have had to deal with a brick falling into the insert--drove me nuts! Tim automatically put the bricks back in correctly after he finished cleaning the insert. Talk about great service! I highly recommend Tim! read more

Tim is extremely knowledgeable about fireplaces, easy to work with, and a genuinely nice guy. He did a detailed inspection and provided a thorough report that I have a lot of confidence in. I did not know fireplaces were so complex but now I have learned a lot of new fireplace vocabulary and risk areas. Great value! Thanks Tim! read more
