The San Rafael
chimneys we know.
San Rafael is the Marin County seat and one of our highest-volume Marin markets. Mid-century moderns in Terra Linda, older masonry chimneys in Glenwood and Dominican, and a steady volume of newer construction across the county.
We do a lot of chimney repair and masonry work in San Rafael — older homes have brought their share of failed crowns, leaking flashing, and deteriorated stack mortar that needs real masonry attention, not silicone-and-hope shortcuts.
Annual maintenance is the bulk of our San Rafael work — chimney sweeping, dryer vent cleaning, and inspection on the schedules of safety-conscious homeowners.
Built for San Rafael's
specific chimney work.
Mid-century chimney expertise
Terra Linda's mid-century homes have specific chimney details — single-flue masonry, exposed-brick designs, and original cap configurations. We know what's worth preserving and what needs to be upgraded.
