What a Visit Looks Like

Five Steps From Your Call to a Safer Hearth

You tell us who lives in the house. We plan the visit around them and check the room before the roof. Then you get a ranked list you can follow at your own pace.

1

Tell Us Who Lives There

Call or send the form and tell us about the fireplace and the household: a crawling baby, a dog that sleeps by the hearth, a parent with a walker. That shapes what the technician brings and checks first.

2

Get a Confirmed Time Window

We confirm a time window and a short prep list: no fire for a day before, toys and rugs moved back, pets settled in another room. Same-day slots open up most weeks.

3

Room Protected, Work Done

Drop cloths go down, the filtered vacuum runs, and tools and ladders stay inside a marked area. The technician cleans, inspects or repairs what you booked, and nothing else without your say.

4

Walk the Safety Checklist Together

Before packing up, we walk the hearth with you: screen and doors, hot glass, gas controls, the damper and the alarms on that floor. Quick fixes you can make yourself are pointed out on the spot.

5

Photos and Written Prices Follow

You get photos of what we found and a written price for any repair, rated fix now, fix soon or watch. Book it with us when it suits you, or not at all.

Who We Work For

Fireplace Care Planned Around the People in Your Home

When a Thousand Oaks gas fireplace smells odd, clicks without lighting or shows a yellow flame, Granite Peak Chimney Company looks at the safety parts before anything else.

We start where your family sits: the screen, the glass, the hearth edge and the alarms nearby. Then we move to the flue, damper and cap.

Every finding is ranked by how much it matters to the children, pets or older relatives in your house, so you know what to fix first.

Household First, Chimney Second

We start every visit at the hearth, where children, pets and older relatives actually get hurt, and only then climb to the flue. The checklist is the same whether the job is a sweep or a repair.

Prices Before Ladders

Sweeps start from $225 and a Level 1 inspection is $55. Anything else is quoted in writing after we have seen it, and the total does not change halfway through without your approval.

A Tidy, Child-Safe Work Area

Drop cloths, a filtered vacuum, tools kept out of reach and a ladder that is never left standing alone. When we leave, the room is ready for crawling babies again.

Plain Words, Clear Choices

Every finding comes with a photo and a rating: fix now, fix soon or watch. We explain each one in a sentence or two and let you decide, with no pressure to book on the spot.

Towns We Serve

Family-safe fireplace care across Conejo Valley

Thousand Oaks

the oak-studded neighborhoods along the Conejo Valley floor and its hills

Many Thousand Oaks living rooms center on a fireplace that comes alive only a few times a year, on cold weekends and holidays, which means a cracked panel or a dead alarm can sit unnoticed for seasons. Families here often ask us to check the hearth before a new baby arrives or a parent moves in. Factory-built units and gas log sets are common, so glass screens and gas keys get a careful look.

Newbury ParkWestlake VillageOak ParkAgoura Hills

Agoura Hills

the canyon-edge streets of Agoura Hills on both sides of the 101

Agoura Hills homes often have more than one place to burn: an indoor fireplace, a patio fire pit, sometimes a wood stove in a den. Each needs its own look, and the outdoor ones sit where kids and dogs play. We check spark mesh, screens and the gas shutoffs for every fire feature on the property during a single visit.

Oak ParkCalabasasWestlake VillageOld Agoura

Calabasas

the gated hills and canyon streets of Calabasas

Calabasas homes frequently have a fireplace in the family room, another in the main bedroom and a gas feature outside. With several flues to track, it is easy for one to go years without a check. We keep each fireplace on its own line of the report, with a safety rating for children, pets and older relatives in the house.

Hidden HillsAgoura HillsWoodland HillsTopanga

Canoga Park

the flat, tree-lined grid of Canoga Park in the west Valley

Many Canoga Park homes keep their original brick fireplace from the 1950s or 1960s, often with an old mesh curtain screen and a damper that has not moved in years. Young families moving into these houses are a big part of our calls. We look hard at the screen, the hearth edge and the damper before anyone lights a fire with a toddler in the room.

Household Questions

What Families Ask About Their Fireplace

Something specific to your home?

Tell us about the hearth and who lives with it, and we answer plainly.

(805) 221-8465
Our sweep starts from $225. The price goes up only for clear reasons: heavy or glazed creosote that needs extra passes, a second flue, a nest to clear, or a steep roof that takes more setup. You hear the reason and the total before we start. Adding a Level 1 chimney inspection to the same visit costs $55, which saves a second trip and means the chimney is both cleaned and checked before the first cold weekend.
Start with the things a small child can touch. Put a hearth gate around the whole fireplace, pad any raised hearth corners, move tools and matches up high, and keep the gas key, switch or remote out of reach. Then book a fireplace inspection, which checks the screen latch, the glass, the damper and the carbon monoxide alarm. Most of the list costs little, and we price anything that needs a trade in writing.
The glass on many gas fireplaces gets hot enough to burn skin in a moment, and it stays hot after the flame goes off. Newer units ship with a mesh barrier screen in front of the glass for that reason. Many older units in the Conejo Valley never had one. During an inspection or gas service we check yours, and if a screen made for your model exists, we can fit it.
Yes. California has required carbon monoxide alarms in homes with a fireplace, gas appliance or attached garage since 2011, and a gas fireplace is exactly the kind of appliance the rule had in mind. Put one on the same floor as the fireplace and near the bedrooms, test it monthly, and replace it when it reaches the end of its life. We test the alarm on every visit if you want us to.
A Level 1, at $55, is the yearly check of every part we can reach without tools, from the firebox up to the cap. A Level 2, at $345, adds a camera run through the whole flue plus a look in the attic and crawl space. NFPA 211 calls for a Level 2 when something has changed: a home sale or purchase, a new fuel, a chimney fire, or a strong earthquake.
If the smell is strong, do not light anything or flip switches. Get everyone out, children, older relatives and pets, and call the gas utility's emergency line or 911 from outside. Close the shutoff only if you can reach it safely. A faint smell that fades a few seconds after lighting is less urgent but still worth a service call, since it often points to slow ignition or a dirty burner.
An installed cap runs $170 to $680, depending on the flue size, the number of flues and the material. Its mesh stops embers from landing on the roof or dry brush, which matters on Santa Ana wind days. It also keeps birds and rats from nesting in the flue, where a nest can block smoke and push fumes back into the room.
Often yes, with a few changes. Light and mark the hearth edge, keep the path clear of tools and rugs, bring wood in small loads, and make sure the alarms work. If carrying wood and kneeling to clean ash have become hard, a gas insert removes both. It runs $2,800 to $5,650 installed in an existing fireplace and turns on and off at a switch.
For most households with small children or pets, yes. The fire burns behind sealed glass, so there are no sparks or ash on the floor, and it turns off in seconds. The glass still gets hot, so the insert should come with a fitted mesh screen, and the controls should sit out of reach. A gas insert in an existing fireplace runs $2,800 to $5,650 installed, liner included.
Usually one of four things: the damper is not fully open, the flue is partly blocked by a nest or creosote, the house cannot supply enough air while fans are running, or the chimney is too short for the roofline. Smoke in the room carries carbon monoxide, so do not live with it. We find the cause with a smoke test and a look up the flue, then quote the fix in writing.
Send photos through the form on the contact page: the fireplace from across the room, the opening up close with a flashlight pointed toward the damper, the chimney from outside, and any rating plate on a gas unit. Tell us who lives in the house and what worries you. For anything outside our set prices, we reply with a likely range and what would confirm it on site.
