Some of the oldest chimneys in Ventura County stand in Santa Paula, built in the early 1900s with clay tile liners or none at all. Heat from a creosote fire can pass through a cracked or missing liner into the framing, so we inspect the flue before we say it is fit to light.

We serve this whole city even on blocks we have not documented yet. Check the neighborhood list below, or call and we will confirm hazards and access for your address.
The Thomas Fire started north of Santa Paula, near Steckel Park and Thomas Aquinas College, on December 4, 2017. Dry valley heat and brush on the hillsides make an intact spark screen a must on every roof here. We take that into account when we recommend a timeline, pick materials, and decide what to flag in the written report afterward.
On a typical Santa Paula appointment, the work covers tuckpointing and repointing services, brick replacement with color matching, and mortar joint restoration (type n and type s). We go over what we found before we leave and note anything worth addressing before the next heating season.

Ventura, the county seat and our home town
Ventura is where Miller Chimney Pros starts every day. Many of the chimneys we sweep here are original brick on older houses near downtown and Midtown, and the first question on each one is how much creosote sits in the flue and whether the clay liner is still whole.
View nearby cityOxnard, down the coast from our Ventura shop
Salt air is the quiet hazard in Oxnard. It rusts a cap and its spark screen until the mesh opens up, and a screen with holes in it no longer holds an ember. We look at the cap first, then the liner and the creosote level.
View nearby cityCamarillo, a short run down the 101 from Ventura
Plenty of Camarillo fireplaces have been switched to gas inserts or log sets. Gas makes less soot but more moisture, and creosote left in the flue from the wood-burning days can still catch. We check what was left behind and whether the liner suits the new appliance.
View nearby cityThousand Oaks and the Conejo Valley, over the Conejo Grade from Camarillo
Most Thousand Oaks fireplaces are factory-built metal units, and those stay safe only with the listed cap, pipe and parts. We read the label, check the chase top for rust, and look for creosote in the pipe before anything else.
