Chimney & Fireplace Services In Stanton CA
Stanton homeowners have relied on Oliver Twist Chimney & Fireplace since 1987. Stanton fits a lot of housing into about three square miles, with 1950s and ’60s single-family homes on quiet side streets and newer condos and townhomes off Beach Boulevard and Katella Avenue. We’re a licensed Orange County chimney company that takes on the jobs a lot of contractors pass on.
Here’s how we can help.
Chimney Sweeping
Any chimney that gets used should be swept once a year. In Stanton, here’s what we’re usually clearing out.
Creosote: Smoke leaves this flammable coating behind as it condenses in the flue. It’s the leading cause of chimney fires, and fireplaces that burn only a few times a year still build it up.
Obstructions: Fall Santa Ana winds blow leaves and palm debris onto roofs, and pigeons and other birds are quick to nest in an open flue. Either one can block the chimney and send smoke and carbon monoxide into your living space.
Oliver Twist is a proud member of the Golden State Chimney Sweep Guild, and our technicians are licensed and fully trained.
Chimney Repairs
Whether you’ve got an older masonry chimney or a factory-built unit in a townhome, our repair crews can diagnose it and fix it. We cover:

Chimney Inspections
An annual chimney inspection is an inexpensive way to spot small problems before they grow. We offer all three NFPA-recognized levels.
Level 1: A basic inspection of the readily accessible parts of the chimney.
Level 2: Adds video imaging, and it’s typically needed for a home sale or after a suspected chimney fire.
Level 3: A thorough inspection when significant damage is already known.

Stanton Chimney & Fireplace FAQ
How often should I have my chimney swept in Stanton, CA?
Once a year if you use the fireplace. A lot of Stanton fireplaces only see a handful of fires each winter, but the chimney still needs a yearly look, because nests and wind-blown debris don’t depend on how often you burn.
Do I need a chimney inspection before selling a home in Stanton?
Usually, yes. A Level 2 inspection with video is standard during escrow. If you’re selling a condo or townhome, we can coordinate roof access with your HOA so the inspection doesn’t hold up the sale. We can typically schedule within a few days.
Is Oliver Twist licensed to work on chimneys in Stanton?
Yes. We’re a licensed California contractor, bonded and insured, and our crews perform all three NFPA-recognized inspection levels. Every repair we make in Stanton meets state and city code.
What’s the biggest chimney problem you see in Stanton homes?
Chimneys that have gone years without service. Because many Stanton fireplaces get light use, they’re easy to forget about, and when we finally get on the roof we often find bird nests and a rusted damper. On the older homes, we also see crowns that have cracked after 60-plus years in the sun.
What does a chimney sweep cost in Stanton?
It depends on the type of chimney and how long it’s been since the last service. Call (714) 843-9944 and we’ll give you a straight quote for your Stanton home before any work begins.
