Oakland splits between the flats and the hills, and chimney work follows that line closely. Rockridge, Temescal, Glenview and the streets around Piedmont Avenue are dense with Craftsman bungalows from the 1900s to the 1920s, and those houses have original brick fireplaces that are frequently the architectural centerpiece of the living room, complete with period tile and built-in cabinetry either side. Repairs there need to respect that. Up in Montclair and the hills above, the priority shifts to fire: this is a high wildfire hazard area with a documented history, and a chimney without a working spark arrestor is a genuine ember source. Every hill job we quote includes the arrestor and the cap, because in that part of Oakland they are not optional extras.
Craftsman bungalow belt through Rockridge, Temescal and Glenview with original 1900s-1920s brick fireplaces integrated into period interiors that repairs must respect. Hill neighborhoods including Montclair sit in a high wildfire hazard zone with a documented fire history, making working spark arrestors and proper caps a standard part of every quote.

Questions
Yes, and we treat it as standard rather than an upgrade. A flue without an arrestor sends embers onto a roof in a high hazard severity zone with a well-documented fire history. It is the cheapest component on the chimney and the one with the most at stake behind it.
That is most of what we do in the Oakland flats. Original tile surrounds and built-ins are the reason people bought these houses, and we protect and work around them. Where masonry has to be matched, we match it.
