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 Century City, CA
Chimney repair in Century City usually means one of two things: a gas fireplace flue in a high-rise condo that hasn’t been touched since the building went up, or a decorative fireplace in one of the low-rise units along Avenue of the Stars that needs a liner assessed before the next sale. We fix both, and we’ve been doing it in the 90067 zip code since 2012. The work here is rarely a simple roof-and-ladder job. It’s more often an access problem: service elevators, HOA approval, parking-structure clearance, and flues that run through twelve floors of someone else’s living room before they reach daylight. Call (833) 805-3229 and we’ll walk you through what your building needs.
Why Century City Homes Are Different
Century City doesn’t have the freeze-thaw cycles that crack chimney crowns in the Midwest, and it doesn’t have the heavy creosote buildup you’d find in a mountain cabin burning cordwood all winter. What it has is a dense vertical housing stock: the towers around Century Plaza, the condo buildings off Constellation and Olympic, and the low-rise units tucked between the office corridors. Most fireplaces here are gas or gas-log decorative units. That means factory-built flues and gas-appliance venting rather than traditional masonry chimneys, and the failures we see are different too: deteriorated flue liners from decades of intermittent use, rusted caps on rooftop terminations, and flashing that’s worked loose in Santa Ana wind events. The marine-influenced climate keeps things mild, but the dry season and the brush zone near the Sepulveda Pass corridor mean chimney and vent maintenance gets treated as fire-safety work, not just housekeeping. And in nearly every condo building, the first step isn’t climbing anything. It’s coordinating with the HOA or building management to get equipment into a service elevator and onto a balcony.
Styles & brands we work with
Our Main Century City Services
Most Century City calls to Ashwood fall into two categories: annual cleaning and inspection work, and dryer vent cleaning that building managers or homeowners schedule after a wake-up call about lint buildup. Each has a dedicated page for this city.
Chimney Sweep in Century City
Even a gas fireplace produces deposits worth clearing: dust, ash from the occasional decorative wood fire, and the fine soot that settles in the flue when a unit sits unused for months. In Century City condo buildings, we’re typically working from a balcony or a rooftop termination rather than a suburban driveway, which means the job is as much about access planning as it is about brushing. We run a camera down the flue before and after so you can see exactly what we removed and what condition the liner is in. That’s the standard for the full job, explained on Chimney Sweep in Century City.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Century City
Dryer vents in high-rise and low-rise condo buildings are often long, shared, or routed through walls that haven’t been opened since the day the building was finished. Lint accumulates, airflow drops, and the vent becomes a fire-risk system that most people never think about until the dryer takes two cycles to finish a load. We treat dryer vent cleaning as a serious safety service, not an upsell, and we use Famco-manufactured ventilation components when repairs are needed. The full scope for this city is on Dryer Vent Cleaning in Century City.

Chimney Repair in Century City
Century City’s housing stock is dominated by mid- and high-rise residential towers plus adjacent low-rise condos, which means most chimney repair calls are for factory-built flues and gas-appliance venting systems, not traditional brick hearths. When a liner fails in this city, it’s usually found during a pre-sale inspection or after years of intermittent decorative fires have taken their toll, and that’s the point where homeowners and HOAs call us to fix it rather than just document it. If the liner is failing, HeatShield lets us restore it without full demolition, a repair option many sweep-only companies can’t offer. We handle the whole flue, not just the easy parts. For the deeper scope of this service line, see our Chimney Repair hub.
Chimney Cap Installation
Signs you need it
A missing or rusted cap lets rain, birds, and debris into the flue, and on a Century City rooftop termination the wind exposure makes a secure cap non-negotiable.
What it costs in Century City
Chimney cap installation in Century City typically runs $190 to $450 depending on the cap size and whether we’re working at rooftop height.
How we do it
We measure the flue opening, select a corrosion-resistant cap, and secure it to the termination point, then verify the fit with a camera check.
Chimney Liner Installation
Signs you need it
Cracked flue tiles, spalling clay liner pieces in the firebox, or a failing gas-appliance vent are all grounds for a new liner, and in Century City’s condo stock a deteriorated liner is often flagged at inspection.
What it costs in Century City
A full chimney liner installation in Century City runs $2,900 to $4,700 for a typical residential flue, with the final number depending on flue length and access from the roof or balcony.
How we do it
We strip out the damaged liner, size a DuraFlex flexible liner system to the flue, and pull it through before reconnecting the appliance and testing the draft.
Chimney Flashing Repair
Signs you need it
Water staining on the ceiling near the fireplace or damp drywall around the flue chase after rain usually means the flashing has separated or failed.
What it costs in Century City
Flashing repair in Century City typically runs $250 to $700 depending on whether we’re resealing a small gap or replacing a full chase-top flashing assembly.
How we do it
We remove the old flashing and sealant, re-bed the junction between the flue and roof or chase top, and install new flashing with a weatherproof seal rated for Westside exposure.

What Century City Customers Say
"Creosote buildup was worse than I realized. He measured it, showed me the glazing on the flue with the camera, and was honest that we were closer to a chimney fire than I wanted to hear."
— Michelle Park"Liner was cracked in two places. He walked me through the repair options honestly, including the one that was cheaper for him and better for me."
— Marcy Vaughn"Good work. The written inspection report took about a week to arrive after I asked for it, which was slower than I expected."
— Nadia Hassan
