What Orange County Homeowners Say About Kindling Chimney Orange County
Reviews matter because a chimney isn’t something you can casually inspect yourself. You’re trusting a crew to work inside your home, around your floors and furniture, and to tell you the truth about what they find. The comments below come from Orange County customers we’ve worked with. They mention the details we hold ourselves to: shoe covers at the door, a written price before anything starts, and a camera photo so you can see exactly what we saw. That’s how Danny Cortes and the Kindling team earn a good word.
Recent Reviews
“They swept our fireplace in Costa Mesa and I watched the whole thing from the couch. Drop cloths went down first, shoe covers on before they stepped off the mat. The technician found a loose damper plate and showed me a photo before recommending a fix. No pressure, just facts. We booked the repair the same week.”
Gilbert G. – Costa Mesa
“We’d just painted the living room and I was nervous about soot dust getting everywhere. The crew sealed off the hearth with plastic and ran a HEPA vac the whole time. After they finished, Danny showed me pictures of the clean-up before they left. Floors were cleaner than when they arrived.”
Carrie H. – Orange
“I called on a Sunday evening expecting a voicemail. A real person answered, took my details, and scheduled the sweep for that Tuesday. The written estimate arrived by email before the appointment, and the final invoice matched it to the dollar. That almost never happens with home services.”
Jeff M. – Huntington Beach
“The technician pulled a bird’s nest out of our chimney cap that was honestly impressive. Three feet deep, twigs packed tight. He had photos of all of it, plus creosote buildup in the smoke shelf. He explained what needed attention now and what could wait. That honesty is why I’ll call them again.”
Ernesto T. – Irvine
“We bought a house in Fullerton and had no idea when the chimney was last cleaned. Kindling did a Level 2 inspection with the camera and walked me through the footage on the tablet. They found a cracked flue tile and gave us a quote for HeatShield resurfacing. The written price matched the invoice, and the work was done carefully. Our kids were napping through half of it.”
Carrie H. – Fullerton
“I’ve used chimney companies before that showed up late and left dust on the mantle. Kindling’s crew was in uniform, background-checked, and treated the house like their own. They even asked before moving a lamp that was in the way. My dog barely noticed they were there. The sweep itself took about an hour and the fireplace draws better than it has in years.”
Gilbert G. – Tustin

The pattern in these reviews isn’t an accident.

And if something isn’t done right, the 365-Day Done Right Promise means we make it right, no fine print and no runaround.
