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 means one of two things: a cap torn off by Santa Ana winds, or a factory-built fireplace flue that’s showing age after 20 to 30 years of intermittent burning. Homes here mix older ranch-style properties on large lots with manufactured homes and 1990s-2000s tract developments, and each type fails differently. Ashwood Chimney Sweep has served Romoland since 2012, and we handle the whole flue, not just the easy parts. If you’re seeing rust, spalling brick, water staining, or a cap that’s gone missing, call (833) 805-3229 for a straight answer and a fixed price before we start.
Why Romoland Homes Are Different
Romoland sits in the windy Inland Empire corridor near the 215 freeway, and the Santa Ana winds shape how chimneys fail here more than most people realize. A chimney that fires clean all winter can end up packed with dried tumbleweed, palm fronds, and dust by late spring simply because the wind carried it up and over the cap. We remove more debris from spark arrestors and cap assemblies in Romoland than in almost any other Inland Empire town we work.
The housing stock adds a second layer. Older ranch homes often have masonry chimneys with clay tile liners that spall after decades of heating and cooling. Manufactured homes and newer tract houses typically use factory-built metal chimney systems. Those thinner metal flues cool fast, which means creosote from short, hot burns tends to glaze rather than brush off. Glazed creosote needs chemical treatment or mechanical removal, and it’s the leading cause of stubborn chimney odors in Romoland homes. Dry summers and mild winters mean fireplaces get light, intermittent use, but that doesn’t make them safer. It often means creosote builds up in hard, shiny layers instead of loose soot. Add the wildfire risk that comes with dry brush country, and spark arrestor maintenance stops being a suggestion. It’s the difference between a contained fire and an ember landing on a shake roof three houses down.
Styles & brands we work with
Our Main Romoland Services
Most Romoland homeowners call Ashwood for one of two jobs, and they’re connected more often than people expect: a dirty or obstructed chimney and a dryer vent that’s quietly loading up with lint behind the wall.
Chimney Sweep in Romoland
A sweep in Romoland clears more than creosote. After a Santa Ana event, we’re pulling tumbleweed, palm debris, and bird nesting material out of caps and spark arrestors before we even get to the flue. The actual sweeping then targets the creosote built up on the flue walls, and for factory-built metal chimneys in this area, that often means removing glazed deposits rather than loose soot. We finish with a Level 1 inspection and a straight report on what we found. Chimney Sweep in Romoland covers the full process and what to expect.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Romoland
Dryer vents in Romoland collect fine desert dust along with lint, and in manufactured homes the vent runs are often longer with more bends, which catches more of both. Your dryer vent is a fire-risk system, not an afterthought. We clean the full run from the dryer to the exterior termination, check the airflow, and replace damaged or restrictive vent components with Famco hardware where needed. Dryer Vent Cleaning in Romoland walks through the service and why it matters as much as a chimney sweep.

Chimney Repair in Romoland
Romoland’s wind, dry air, and mix of masonry and factory-built chimneys create a specific set of repair problems. On older ranch homes, we see cracked crown mortar and rusted flashing around the roofline where decades of sun and Santa Ana gusts have worked the seal loose. On manufactured homes and 1990s-era tract builds, the factory-built chimney systems show their age differently: warped chase tops, corroded caps, and flue liners that have thinned from repeated heating and cooling. A failing liner isn’t something to document and leave alone. HeatShield lets us restore it, often without tearing the chimney apart. Whatever the issue, one contractor handles assessment and repair. No hand-off to a separate crew, no broken telephone between the inspector and the person doing the work. Chimney Repair covers our full repair capability.
Chimney Cap Installation
Signs you need it
You hear birds or scratching from the flue, you find debris inside the firebox after a windy week, or your current cap is simply gone.
What it costs in Romoland
Chimney cap installation in Romoland typically falls between $180 and $380 depending on flue size and access.
How we do it
We measure the flue, set a stainless or copper cap sized to the termination, and secure it so the next Santa Ana event doesn’t take it to the neighbor’s pasture.
Chimney Cap Replacement
Signs you need it
The existing cap is rusted through, the mesh is torn so birds are getting in, or it’s sitting on the chase top at an angle that tells you the wind won.
What it costs in Romoland
Replacement in Romoland runs $200 to $420 for most single-flue caps, with larger or multi-flue chases pushing toward the top end.
How we do it
We remove the old cap, inspect the flue termination below it for hidden damage, then install a correctly sized replacement with a new mechanical connection.
Chimney Liner Installation
Signs you need it
Your flue is spalling, cracked, or missing sections, and either smoke backs into the house or an inspection flagged the liner as unsafe to burn with.
What it costs in Romoland
Expect $2,500 to $5,500 in Romoland for a full liner installation, with HeatShield restoration usually running $1,200 to $2,800 when the liner is repairable.
How we do it
We assess the existing flue by camera, then either restore it with HeatShield if it qualifies or install a DuraFlex liner system sized to the appliance and the home’s burn pattern.
Chimney Flashing Repair
Signs you need it
Water stains on the ceiling near the chimney, damp drywall inside, or visible gaps where the flashing meets the roof line.
What it costs in Romoland
Flashing repair here typically costs $450 to $1,100, more if the old flashing has to be completely cut out and the roof decking beneath is wet.
How we do it
We strip the failed flashing, inspect the chimney-to-roof transition for rot or rust, and install new step and counter flashing sealed with a high-temperature, exterior-rated sealant.

Does a cracked chimney crown really need repair in Romoland?
Yes. A cracked crown lets water into the chimney chase or masonry, and in Romoland’s dry-wet-dry cycle, that freeze-thaw style cracking accelerates. Rotting chase tops and ruined liners often start as a small crown crack. Call (833) 805-3229 for an exact quote, estimates are free.
Can you repair a manufactured home chimney in Romoland?
We can. Factory-built metal chimney systems in Romoland manufactured homes need specialized parts and sizing, but we service them regularly. The repair method depends on the brand and flue condition. Call (833) 805-3229 and we’ll assess what you have, we won’t guess.
Brands We Service in Romoland
We stock and install DuraFlex liner systems, HeatShield restoration product, and ventilation hardware from Famco and Copperfield. These brands distribute through the professional chimney trade, not the retail shelf, which means Romoland homeowners get materials specified by certified contractors.

What pushes a quote up in Romoland is usually access: long runs from a manufactured home to the exterior termination, steep roof pitches on two-story tract houses, or a flue that hasn’t been swept in years and needs glazed creosote removal. The quote Ashwood gives is the price we do the work for. No line items that appear after the job starts, no surprise add-ons at the door.

Most Romoland appointments are scheduled within 5 to 10 business days, faster during the spring and summer when burn season is over and we’re doing more inspections. Scheduling is flexible around your availability. Call (833) 805-3229 and we’ll find a slot that works.
Most chimney sweeping and minor repair work does not require a permit in Romoland. Full liner installations or structural repairs can trigger permit requirements depending on scope and local code. Ashwood assesses each job and tells you plainly if a permit is needed before the work starts.
Yes. We work on old masonry ranch house chimneys as often as we work on prefabricated metal systems in the newer tract developments and manufactured homes. The tools and methods differ, but the assessment is the same: find what’s failing, fix it, and tell you what can safely wait.

What Romoland Customers Say
"Swept it, capped it, and installed a proper damper. The downdraft smell in the summer that we'd lived with for years is gone."
— Yolanda Martinez"Fireplace had never drawn properly since we moved in. He found the damper was only opening halfway due to a bent linkage and fixed it in ten minutes."
— Paige Norris"Thorough sweep and a clear report. He was running late from the job before and arrived near the end of the window, though he did call to warn me."
— Ryan Sullivan
