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 Alpine, CA
Chimney repair in Alpine, CA means working on homes that actually burn wood through cold foothill winters, not the occasional decorative fire you see closer to the coast. Between the post-2003/2007 rebuild wave, older ranch houses on acre-plus lots, and manufactured homes with factory-built metal chimneys, we see a specific mix of damage patterns here. If your fireplace or wood stove needs a repair visit, call Supreme Chimney Sweep at (833) 589-8164.
Why Alpine Homes Are Different
Alpine sits at roughly 1,800 to 2,000 feet in San Diego’s East County backcountry, which changes the chimney work substantially. Winter nights drop cold enough that fireplaces and freestanding wood stoves run hard for months, not weeks. Homeowners burn locally cut oak and brush, much of it seasoning-inconsistent, and that resinous wood produces heavy creosote loads. Coastal chimney sweeps rarely see buildup like this.
The housing stock adds another layer. Alpine is mostly single-family homes on acre-plus lots, with older ranch-style houses mixed alongside manufactured and mobile homes. Those manufactured homes use factory-built metal chimneys that need class-specific sweeping and inspection, not the same approach you’d use on a masonry fireplace. The 2003 Cedar Fire and 2007 Witch Creek Fire swept through this area, so many chimneys are on homes that survived or were rebuilt, and fire-hardening questions come up regularly. Dry, windy fall weather means chimney condition here is a wildfire-safety issue, not just an efficiency one.
Styles & brands we work with
Our Main Alpine Services
Alpine homeowners call us most about two things: keeping wood-burning chimneys safe through heating season, and keeping dryer vents clear in homes where wildfire awareness runs high.
Chimney Sweep in Alpine
A chimney sweep in Alpine is genuine heating-season work, not a coastal formality. Between the oak and brush burned through cold foothill winters and the creosote that forms in flues that cycle hot and cold, local chimneys need real attention. We clean masonry fireplaces, freestanding wood stoves, and factory-built metal chimneys on manufactured homes, and we check for the damage patterns this elevation produces. If we find issues during the sweep, we can usually repair them on the same visit. Call (833) 589-8164 or see Chimney Sweep in Alpine for full details.
Dryer Vent Cleaning in Alpine
Dryer vent cleaning in Alpine matters more than most homeowners realize, especially in rural-residential lots where dry, windy conditions make any ignition source dangerous. Lint-clogged vents are a leading household fire hazard, and in backcountry Alpine the stakes are higher. We treat dryer vent cleaning as a fire-prevention service and document what we find. A single visit can cover both your chimney and your dryer vent, the two fire-hazard systems most homes have. Call (833) 589-8164 or see Dryer Vent Cleaning in Alpine.

Chimney Repair in Alpine
Chimney repair in Alpine deals with the consequences of real heating seasons and a specific housing mix. Older ranch-style homes built decades ago often have masonry chimneys showing crown and flashing wear from years of foothill temperature swings, while the post-2003/2007 rebuilds and manufactured homes bring factory-built metal chimneys that fail in their own ways. When a chimney problem shows up in Alpine, it usually means the homeowner has been burning through cold winters and the system has earned its damage. If a sweep turns up something that needs fixing, we handle it ourselves, same visit, same company. That’s the repair-capable part of what Supreme Chimney Sweep does. It’s also why we stock professional components instead of running to a big-box store. For more on the full repair scope, see Chimney Repair.
Chimney Cap Installation
Signs you need it
You see rain staining inside the firebox, find bird or rodent nesting material in the flue, or notice sparks landing on the roof during burns.
What it costs in Alpine
Chimney cap installation in Alpine runs $450 to $1,500 depending on cap material, flue size, and rooftop access on rural lots.
How we do it
We measure the flue, select a properly sized cap, secure it to the crown or flue tile, and confirm the spark arrestor and draft are correct.
Chimney Cap Replacement
Signs you need it
The existing cap is rusted through, bent from debris or weather, or no longer seated tightly on the flue.
What it costs in Alpine
Chimney cap replacement in Alpine runs $450 to $1,500, with the final number set by flue dimensions and whether we need to repair the crown the cap sits on.
How we do it
We remove the old cap, inspect the flue and crown beneath it, prep the mounting surface, and install a new cap sized for the flue and Alpine’s wind exposure.
Chimney Liner Installation
Signs you need it
You have cracked flue tiles, smoke leaking into living spaces, or a home inspector flagged a liner that can no longer contain combustion gases.
What it costs in Alpine
Chimney liner installation in Alpine runs $3,500 to $7,000, with stainless steel liners and insulation pushing toward the upper end.
How we do it
We evaluate the existing flue, spec the right liner material and diameter, run the liner through the chimney, insulate as needed, and reconnect the appliance.
Chimney Flashing Repair
Signs you need it
You’ve got water stains on the ceiling near the chimney, damp drywall, or visible gaps between the roof and chimney masonry.
What it costs in Alpine
Chimney flashing repair in Alpine runs $450 to $1,500 depending on how much flashing needs replacing and whether Alpine’s wind and wildfire-ember exposure requires upgraded materials.
How we do it
We remove the failed flashing, replace the step and counter flashing, seal the joints properly, and test for leaks before we leave.
Chimney Crown Repair
Signs you need it
The concrete crown is cracked, spalling, or has sunken sections that let water pool and seep into the masonry.
What it costs in Alpine
Chimney crown repair in Alpine runs $450 to $1,500, and a full crown rebuild on a heavily damaged masonry chimney can reach the top of that range.
How we do it
We remove deteriorated crown material, build or repair the crown with the right slope and overhang, and seal it so water sheds away from the flue.

Do I really need a new liner, or can the old one be saved?
Sometimes a damaged liner can be restored instead of replaced. We’re HeatShield-capable, which means we can resurface a damaged flue without a full liner replacement. That route costs less than a new liner and extends flue life. Call (833) 589-8164 and we’ll assess what your chimney actually needs.
How long does chimney repair take in Alpine?
Most cap, flashing, and crown repairs finish in a single visit. Liner work can take a full day or longer depending on chimney height and appliance setup. Call (833) 589-8164 for an exact timeline and a free estimate.

Two things push chimney pricing up in Alpine more than elsewhere. Steep or long rural driveways and acre-plus lots make rooftop access slower, and the heavy creosote from oak and brush burning often requires more labor to clear properly. Whatever the job, we quote a flat price before work begins, and the price we quote is the price you pay.

What Alpine Customers Say
"Crown was cracked and taking water. Repaired it rather than quoting a rebuild, which the previous company had pushed hard for."
— Marcy Fletcher"Level two inspection before we bought the house. The report was detailed enough to use as a negotiating point and he explained every photo in it."
— Daniela Mendoza"Cap keeps the birds out now, which after two springs of scratching noises is worth every penny."
