Chimney sweep logs do not sweep chimneys. They loosen some creosote - which then falls where a brush and vacuum still have to collect it.
Chimney Company in Romoland, CA
Chimney repair in Romoland usually comes down to two things: fireboxes and flues that have gone decades without a real inspection, and homeowners who aren’t sure whether what they’re seeing is normal wear or a fire hazard. Romoland’s semi-rural housing mix means our repair crews see everything from original 1970s masonry fireplaces to wood stove inserts stuffed into flues that were never sized for them. Ontario Chimney has served Romoland since 2014, and the calls we get most often start with smoke backing into the living room or water staining the ceiling near the chimney chase. Call (833) 467-7685 when you want a straight answer about what’s actually going on up there.
Why Romoland Homes Are Different
Romoland sits in the warm inland valley of Riverside County, where summers hit triple digits and winter nights drop low enough that wood heat makes real sense. Many homes here were built without gas lines, so the fireplace or freestanding stove isn’t decorative. It’s the primary heat source during cold snaps. That changes the work. We’re not sweeping the light soot you get from occasional gas logs. We’re removing the dense, tar-like creosote that forms when wood burns daily, often with the damper half-closed to stretch the burn through the night. The housing stock splits between 1970s ranch homes on larger lots and 1990s to 2000s subdivisions, and a good number of properties have detached structures, shop buildings, or manufactured homes with flues that were never part of a standard inspection route. The semi-rural setting also means some homeowners are far enough out that they’ve put off chimney work for years simply because they weren’t sure who to call.
One thing we encounter often in Romoland is a wood stove insert vented through a flue sized for a traditional masonry fireplace. It throws heat into the room beautifully, but the smaller stove pipe connects to a larger flue, creating a creosote-trapping mismatch that isn’t visible from the hearth. The homeowner sees a working stove. We see a chimney that needs more frequent cleaning and possibly a liner correction to stay safe.
Styles & brands we work with
Our Main Romoland Services
Most Romoland homeowners first call us for a chimney sweep or dryer vent cleaning. Both are maintenance services that prevent the two most common chimney and venting failures we see: creosote fires and lint-blocked exhaust. Here’s what each involves in this area.
Chimney Sweep in Romoland
A chimney sweep in Romoland means more than running a brush up a flue. With wood-burning as a primary heat source, we’re removing creosote buildup that can fuel a chimney fire if left unchecked. Our sweep includes a full inspection of the firebox, damper, flue liner, and cap, plus a written report on what we found and what actually needs attention versus what can wait. For details on the process and pricing, see our Chimney Sweep in Romoland page.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Romoland
Dryer vent cleaning is a fire-safety service we take as seriously as chimney work, not a side job. Lint buildup inside the vent restricts airflow, forces the dryer to run longer, and creates the conditions for a vent fire. The NFPA identifies dryer vent fires as a leading cause of house fires, and Romoland’s larger properties with longer vent runs and detached laundry rooms often need attention more often than newer subdivision homes. See our Dryer Vent Cleaning in Romoland page for the full scope.

Chimney Repair in Romoland
Chimney repair in Romoland often starts with a problem the homeowner has been living with for a while: a fireplace that smokes on windy days, a chimney crown with visible cracks, or a cap that rusted through years ago. Homes here range from original 1970s ranch builds with masonry fireplaces to 2000s houses that have never had a proper flue inspection, and the warm inland climate bakes chimney crowns and flashing through long dry summers. When you call us for Chimney Repair, we approach the job the same way every time: inspect, document, and show you the evidence before we recommend spending a dollar on a fix.
Chimney Cap Installation
Signs you need it
You can see daylight through the top of your chimney, find nesting material or animal droppings in the firebox, or notice water running down the flue during rain.
What it costs in Romoland
Installing a proper chimney cap in Romoland typically falls between $245 and $540 depending on the flue size, cap material, and whether any crown repair is needed to seat it correctly.
How we do it
We measure the flue, select a stainless steel cap from Gelco or Famco, prep the crown surface, and secure the cap with mechanical fasteners rated for high-temp conditions.
Chimney Liner Installation
Signs you need it
Your chimney has missing, cracked, or spalled clay flue tiles; smoke seeps into walls or the second floor; or a camera inspection shows gaps where mortar has failed between tiles.
What it costs in Romoland
Chimney liner installation in Romoland typically runs $2,800 to $5,500 for a standard single-story wood-burning fireplace, with wood stove liners falling between $1,700 and $3,900.
How we do it
We run a camera to document the current flue condition, size the replacement, then install a DuraFlex stainless steel flexible liner that matches the appliance and fuel type.
Chimney Flashing Repair
Signs you need it
You see water stains on the ceiling near the chimney, damp drywall in the attic around the chase, or rusted metal where the chimney meets the roofline.
What it costs in Romoland
Chimney flashing repair in Romoland typically costs between $380 and $850, depending on whether we’re sealing a small gap or replacing the full flashing assembly around the chimney base.
How we do it
We remove compromised flashing and sealant, inspect the surrounding roof transition, install new metal flashing where needed, and apply high-temp sealant at all seams and overlaps.
Chimney Crown Repair
Signs you need it
The concrete cap on top of the chimney has visible cracks, pieces are missing, or water pools on the crown after rain instead of running off.
What it costs in Romoland
Chimney crown repair in Romoland typically runs $550 to $1,300 for a standard repair, with full crown rebuilds ranging from $1,200 to $2,800 when the original crown has failed completely.
How we do it
We clean and prep the existing crown, fill cracks with a flexible crown sealer, and when the damage is too far gone, pour a new concrete crown with an overhang that sheds water away from the brick.
What Chimney Repair Costs in Romoland
| Item | Typical range in Romoland |
|---|---|
| Chimney cap installation | $245 – $540 |
| Chimney liner installation (fireplace) | $2,800 – $5,500 |
| Flashing repair | $380 – $850 |
Those numbers assume a standard single-story chimney with normal access. Romoland’s mix of original ranch homes and newer infill means access and condition vary widely, which is why we give a fixed quote after inspection, not a vague range over the phone.
Can you repair a chimney without rebuilding it?
Often yes. HeatShield ceramic resurfacing restores a damaged flue without tearing out the original masonry, and crown repair or cap replacement solves many water problems. We’ll show you the camera footage so you can decide.
How long does chimney repair take in Romoland?
Most cap, flashing, and crown repairs finish in one visit. A full liner installation runs a day for a standard single-story chimney. We schedule Romoland jobs around your availability, not the other way around.
Brands We Service in Romoland
We stock and install parts from brands the trade actually relies on: DuraFlex liners, Gelco caps, and damper components sourced through Copperfield and Olympia Chimney. Most common repair parts for Romoland homes are on the truck when we arrive. For more on the materials we use, see our brands.

— Adriana Morales"Cap keeps the birds out now, which after two springs of scratching noises is worth every penny."
