About us
The sweeps San Francisco trusts with a century of chimneys.
Remarkable Chimney Sweep started with a simple observation: San Francisco has some of the most beautiful — and most neglected — chimneys in America. Victorians with original unlined flues. Edwardians that survived 1906. Marina-district rebuilds and SoMa lofts with prefab units. Each one needs someone who knows exactly what they're looking at.
Restoration mindset. Service-company manners.
Our technicians train to the standards that define this trade — NFPA 211, the code of chimney care, and CSIA best practices — and every sweep on your roof is background-checked and insured. But what our customers mention most is simpler: we show up when we said we would, we leave rooms cleaner than we found them, and we tell the truth about what your chimney does and doesn't need.
Every visit ends the same way — a written report with photos, delivered before we leave the curb. If we recommend a repair, you'll see exactly why. If everything's fine, the report says that too.

Safety before schedule
If a flue isn't safe to use, you'll hear it plainly — even when it's not what anyone wants to hear.
Proof over promises
Camera footage and photo reports on every job. You never have to take a stranger's word about your own roof.
Leave it cleaner
Runners, sealed openings, HEPA vacuums — and boots off at the door unless you say otherwise.
Never upsell
Most chimneys just need a sweep. When yours needs more, the photos will make the case — not pressure.
Trained to the standard, around the clock
Chimney work in the U.S. is governed by NFPA 211 — the standard for chimneys, fireplaces, and venting systems. It's the backbone of our training, our inspection levels, and our reports. And because flue emergencies don't wait for Monday, our phone line doesn't either: a real person answers 24/7 at our Howard Street headquarters.
Rooted at 301 Howard Street
From our office in SoMa we cover every San Francisco neighborhood daily, with regular routes down the Peninsula and across the bridge to Oakland and Berkeley. Browse our chimney services, read the chimney care blog, or get in touch — a person, not a menu, picks up the phone.
