What Our Customers Say
Trusted by homeowners across Sonoma, CA
"I booked David & Sons in September for fall prep before we started using the fireplace. They arrived on time, used drop cloths everywhere, sent me photos, and gave me a written summary of everything. First time in years I felt truly confident lighting the first fire of chimney season."
— Margaret T., Sonoma, CA
"We switched to David & Sons after our previous company never showed up during peak season. Now we're on their seasonal checklist reminder list and we've had zero surprises two winters in a row. Predictable bills, stable comfort, and a crew we actually trust."
— Robert & Claire H., Glen Ellen, CA
"The combustion safety check they performed found a liner issue we had no idea about. They documented it with photos, walked me through the scope clearly, and scheduled the repair within the same pre-season window. Incredibly professional from start to finish."
— Patricia N., Kenwood, CA
"What sets them apart is the planning mindset. They called me in August with a season start reminder, got us scheduled for a pre-season inspection in early October, and we were completely ready before the November chill arrived. That's the kind of proactive care every homeowner should have."
— James W., Boyes Hot Springs, CA
Frequently Asked Questions
When is the best time to schedule a chimney tune-up in Sonoma?
The smart timing is late summer or early fall — before chimney season demand peaks. Scheduling your pre-season inspection in August or September allows our team to identify any issues, complete any needed work, and have your system fully ready before the first cool night of the year. Proactive homeowners who plan ahead avoid the booking delays that arrive with the first cold spell.
What does a pre-season chimney inspection include?
Our pre-season inspection covers a full combustion safety check, visual inspection of the firebox, flue, damper, and crown, creosote level assessment, and a written scope of findings with photo updates. We follow manufacturer guidance and code-compliant standards throughout, and we walk you through every finding before leaving the property.
How often should I schedule chimney cleaning and inspection?
The National Fire Protection Association recommends annual inspections for chimneys in regular use. For most Sonoma homeowners who use their fireplace through the fall and winter season, a single annual tune-up aligned to your maintenance rhythm — ideally as part of a fall prep schedule — is the foundation of equipment longevity and predictable performance.
Do you serve areas outside of Sonoma?
Yes. David & Sons Chimney Cleaning serves Sonoma and the surrounding Wine Country communities including Glen Ellen, Kenwood, Boyes Hot Springs, and nearby areas throughout Sonoma County. Contact us to confirm service availability for your address before booking.
What should I expect on the day of my appointment?
Our clean crew arrives within the scheduled window, introduces themselves, and walks through the scope before beginning work. We place protective covers throughout the work area, document our findings with photos, and communicate any discoveries before proceeding. You receive a written summary and a follow-up check-in after the job is complete. Clear timeline, no surprises.
How do I stay on a regular seasonal chimney maintenance schedule?
Ask about our season start reminders when you book. We maintain a proactive care list of returning customers and reach out before each chimney season opens to help you secure your preferred slot early. It's the simplest way to stay ahead, avoid the high-demand booking crunch, and keep your home systems on a dependable home readiness rhythm year after year.
