Choose your city
Oregon's climate, with its rainy seasons and cooler temperatures, makes fireplaces a welcome feature in many homes. This often means consistent use, which can lead to creosote buildup. While Oregon doesn't have a statewide mandatory licensing for chimney sweeps, many local jurisdictions and professional organizations have their own standards. We are experienced with the diverse housing stock across Oregon, from older Portland homes to properties throughout the Willamette Valley, and tailor our services to their specific chimney requirements.
