Level 1 sweep and inspection to the NFPA 211 annual standard - flue, crown, cap, and flashing checked and photographed
Chimney sweep logs do not sweep chimneys. They loosen some creosote - which then falls where a brush and vacuum still have to collect it.

AfterChimney Company in Westminster, CA
Flint Chimney Sweep is the chimney company Westminster homeowners call when they want a price in writing before the work starts, a crew that shows up inside the window given, and a repair guarantee that actually means something. Westminster’s housing stock spans 1950s tract homes near Bolsa Avenue and newer builds east of Beach Boulevard, and that mix changes what we find inside flues. If you need chimney work in Westminster, call (830) 251-4560 and you’ll talk to a live person, not a voicemail tree.
Why Westminster Homes Are Different
Westminster sits a few miles from the coast, and that marine air shows up in chimney flues in ways inland cities never see. We regularly see flues in Westminster with heavier creosote glazing than homes in Stanton or Fountain Valley, because cooler coastal evenings mean more low, slow fires. Add to that a housing stock that skews toward the 1950s and 1960s – many of those original masonry chimneys east of the 405 are still in service – and you get a specific set of conditions: clay tile liners nearing the end of their useful life, mortar crowns with hairline cracks from decades of damp air, and fireplace dampers that no longer seat tight.
We also deal with homeowners in Westminster who bought homes through the 2010s boom and inherited chimneys that were never swept before sale. A quick sweep often turns into a camera inspection that reveals what the previous owner papered over. That’s why every Westminster job starts the same way: we look, we document, and we put the findings in writing before any repair is recommended. The Garrison Standard – the operating code we follow at every Garrison Partners location – requires written price and written scope before tools come off the truck.
Our Main Westminster Services
Three services cover nearly every chimney issue we see in Westminster. Each has its own page with local pricing, what the job involves, and what to do before we arrive.
Chimney Sweep in Westminster
Most Westminster chimneys need a sweep every one to two years, more often if you burn wood through winter. A sweep removes the creosote and soot that marine air helps build up faster than you’d expect this close to the coast. We run brushes through the flue, clean the smoke chamber, and leave the firebox wiped down and the drop cloths folded. Every job ends with a plain-language report on what we removed and what we saw.

Chimney Inspection in Westminster
If you’re buying a Westminster home, selling one, or you’ve never had the flue looked at, this is the service that tells you what you’re actually working with. We run a camera through the flue and look for cracked clay tiles, spalling brick, rusted dampers, and gaps in the mortar joints. You get photos you can see for yourself. No recommendation comes from our crew without camera evidence behind it. Chimney Inspection in Westminster
Chimney Repair in Westminster
When a sweep or inspection turns up a problem – a cracked liner, a bad crown, a damper that won’t close – repair is the next step. We quote repairs item by item with professional-grade materials like HeatShield, Gelco, and Olympia Chimney specified by job. Every repair carries a written one-year guarantee under the 365-Day Done Right Promise. If a covered repair fails in that window, we return at no charge. Chimney Repair in Westminster

What pushes a Westminster price to the higher end of those ranges is usually access: two-story rooflines near the Westmont area, steep roof pitches, or flues with more creosote buildup than a standard sweep can address in one pass. Whatever the number is, you’ll see it in writing before we start. The price you approve is the price you pay. Plain and simple.
