Chimney Services in Menlo Park, CA

Serving Menlo Park

Menlo Park runs from genuinely old to genuinely new within a couple of miles. Allied Arts and the streets near it hold 1920s and 1930s homes with original brick chimneys and the decorative masonry detail of the period, while Sharon Heights and the western edge are largely 1960s and 1970s, with lighter construction and a substantial share of prefabricated fireboxes. The Willows and Suburban Park sit between them with a mix of both. What Menlo Park has in unusual quantity is mature tree cover, and very large oaks and redwoods overhanging roofs create two recurring problems: heavy debris into any uncapped flue, and stacks that are effectively short relative to the canopy around them, which disturbs the draft on windy days.

Period 1920s-1930s masonry around Allied Arts, 1960s-1970s construction with prefabricated fireboxes in Sharon Heights, and a mixed middle. Exceptionally heavy mature oak and redwood canopy causes debris ingress into uncapped flues and draft disturbance where stacks sit low relative to surrounding trees.
