Map of our chimney service area in Columbia City, King County, WA

Service-area map — Columbia City, WA. Map data © OpenStreetMap contributors.

Columbia City is a historic, walkable neighborhood in the Rainier Valley — a South Seattle neighborhood of well-preserved Craftsman bungalows and older homes. Homes like these are our bread and butter, and their chimneys have usually earned a proper look, not a quick patch and a wave goodbye.

Columbia City may sit back from the water, but the wet season doesn't skip it — month after month of rain finds every hairline gap in a crown, cap or flashing line. Small fixes done early are what keep these older chimneys working.

Ask a neighbor about Columbia City and you'll hear about the Columbia City historic district and the Rainier Valley Farmers Market. We work every block of it — Columbia City, Genesee included.

What gets looked at on a Columbia City visit

Chimney trouble hides — behind the damper, up past the smoke shelf, under the flashing. On every Columbia City stop we go through the whole system and bring back photos, so you're deciding from evidence instead of taking anyone's word.

  • A camera run up the flue and liner wherever access allows
  • Crown, cap and flashing gone over for the places rain sneaks in
  • Brick faces and mortar joints read for age, spalling and movement
  • Photos of everything, before we start and after we finish

Columbia City homeowners usually ask us

Is Columbia City on your route?
It is — Columbia City sits squarely in the South Seattle territory we work every week, Columbia City and Genesee included. Sweeps, inspections, relining and masonry repair all get scheduled here and in the neighborhoods around it.
What chimney work do you take on in Columbia City?
The whole list: sweeping, Level 1 and Level 2 inspections, relining, brick and crown repair, caps, waterproofing, flashing and gas-fireplace service. One crew carries the job from the first look to the last photo.
How long before you can be in Columbia City?
Usually not long — we're already working these blocks most weeks. The calendar on this site shows genuine openings, so the soonest visit is right there when you book.
Why do Columbia City chimneys ask for regular attention?
Seattle's long wet season on top of well-preserved Craftsman bungalows and older homes means these chimneys carry their years openly. A look every season or two catches the small stuff while it's still small — and that's what keeps the repair bills small too.
Are you licensed and insured, and how do you price a job?
Yes — we carry the contractor registration and insurance Washington requires for this trade. As for price: it gets set at your house after the $49 inspection (credited toward the repair), and it goes on paper before any work starts.
