Chimney Sweeps
Serving the Truckee-Tahoe Area
WELCOME
The Chimney Chiefs are your local and friendly chimney sweeps that service the Truckee-Tahoe area. The Chimney Chiefs is owned and operated by a retired firefighter who has first hand knowledge of how chimney fires start and what needs to be done to prevent them. With this knowledge and experience, we ensure that we are cleaning and servicing your chimney and fireplace with the goal to prevent a fire, keep you safe and . We use ladders to access the chimney from the roof so we can clean from the top down. We remove the cap and thoroughly clean it removing any built up creosote. We also clean the spark arrestor. We often find that some chimneys don't have a spark arrestor so we will instal a new one. Every chimney cap should have a spark arrestor to stop sparks escaping from the chimney and starting a fire.
​
We thoroughly clean out the fire place, removing all ash, taking out bricks or anything in the stove that can be removed and cleaned. We clean and polish the glass and the metal casing too. We run a shop vacuum to ensure no soot or ash gets anywhere.

Call us today to make your appointment to have your chimney and fire place cleaned so you can have a warm and safe fire.

Having many years experience in firefighting, on a hot shot crew and working or the fire service, we can help you identify potential hazards before they become a danger. Inspection of in-home, roof, yard, and surrounding areas
will ensure that you and your home are up to safety standards and prevent dangerous and expensive damage that may come down the line.
It is important to maintain upkeep of your home and surroundings, especially after the dry years we've been experiencing.
The heavy snow loads we experience in the Tahoe area can wreak havoc on your metal roofs. The freeze/thaw action and the movement of snow as it slides down the roof, will loosen roof screws, causing them to pop up out of your roof, thereby leaving notes where water can seep into which will cause damage to your roof. We have rope and climbing skills and can safely move around your entire roof, replacing and tightening screws.
We have experience in a wide range of handyman services from installing wood floors, tile work, painting, and much more.
