"Booked our annual sweep on our 1922 craftsman on Cimarron. Faint smoke smell in the parlor last winter, wanted the flue camera-scoped before we light this year."
Malik on the roof at 9 sharp, drop cloths down from the front hallway. Camera scope caught a hairline crack in the smoke chamber. Written report emailed before he left. HEPA vacuum, booties on — no soot on the original mantel.
"Small earthquake in April cracked our Mid-City chimney pretty badly, mortar was crumbling loose. Needed emergency assessment same day, then a rebuild that would match the aged brick."
Ricardo on the roof before lunch, tarped the top, quoted on paper same visit. Team rebuilt the upper 5 courses in salt-rated mortar. Reclaimed brick sourced from a yard on Adams. LA County inspection cleared it first walk.
"1932 Spanish-style on a Culver City hillside. Original fireplace hadn't worked in decades. Wanted a modern gas insert but couldn't lose the historic Malibu tile look."
Aaron sketched three options first visit. Sourced Malibu tile trim that matched the 1932 original. Ran the gas supply through the crawlspace so nothing shows above the hearth. Tuned the venting for the tricky hillside draft.
