Reliable chimney care for Yamhill County homes and businesses
Chimneys in the Willamette Valley take a beating. Oregon’s wet winters drive moisture into mortar joints, erode chimney crowns, and cause flashing failures that let water into your roof system. Heating season puts additional stress on the flue. Creosote accumulates from wood burning, gas appliance venting needs to stay clear, and caps and dampers wear out from constant exposure to rain, wind, and temperature swings.
Most homeowners don’t think about their chimney until something goes wrong. Smoke backing up into the living room, a water stain spreading across the ceiling near the chimney, or a failed inspection during a home sale. That’s usually when the call comes. But the problems behind those symptoms often start years earlier with small cracks, minor flashing gaps, or a flue liner that’s slowly deteriorating.
Your Fireplace Pros handles chimney work at every stage, from annual inspections and cleanings that catch problems early, to tuckpointing and waterproofing that extend the life of your masonry, to full structural repairs when the damage has gone too far for patchwork. We also service the fireplaces and appliances connected to your chimney, including gas fireplaces, wood stoves, and fireplace inserts.
Because we operate under Simpson Property Services alongside our electrical and HVAC division, we can address issues that cross trade lines. A chimney leak that’s damaged the wiring in your attic? We handle both. A fireplace conversion that needs a new gas line and electrical for the ignition system? One crew, one company. That’s a real advantage over a standalone chimney sweep who has to call in subcontractors the moment the job gets complicated.
Every chimney we service in McMinnville, Newberg, Carlton, Sheridan, and surrounding areas gets an honest assessment. We’ll tell you what needs fixing now, what can wait, and what’s fine as-is. No upselling, no scare tactics. Just a clear picture of your chimney’s condition and a straight price for the work.

Quick diagnos of problem. Friendly and professional.
They responded quickly and professionally, and managed to squeeze me into their busy schedule the next day, despite being busy for the next two weeks. Fortunately our repair was fairly straightforward, just a new thermocoupolar on an gas old stove. They arrived on time, finished within an hour, were professional and very reasonably priced. I would definitely recommend!

Chimney Services FAQs
Answers to the questions we hear most often from Yamhill County homeowners about chimney maintenance, repair, and inspections.
How much does chimney cleaning cost?
Pricing depends on the type of chimney, the appliance connected to it, and how much buildup is present. We’ll give you a clear price before the work starts. Diagnostic and troubleshooting visits run $145 for the first half-hour and $105 each additional hour, but most standard cleanings are quoted as a flat rate so you know the cost up front.
Do you offer emergency chimney repair?
If you have an active leak, smoke entering your home, or damage from a chimney fire, call us and we’ll get you on the schedule as quickly as possible. Our standard hours are Monday through Friday, 7:30 AM to 4:00 PM. For urgent situations, describe the issue when you call and we’ll work with you on timing.
Do you service commercial properties?
Yes. We service chimneys on commercial buildings, rental properties, and multi-unit residences across Yamhill County. Commercial chimney systems often have different code requirements and access challenges, and we’re equipped to handle both.
Do you handle chimney work for home sales?
We perform pre-sale chimney inspections and provide written reports that document the chimney’s condition. If repairs are needed to close, we can often complete them on a timeline that keeps the transaction on track. Buyers and sellers in McMinnville and Newberg regularly use us for this.
How do I know if my chimney has a creosote problem?
A strong smoky odor when the fireplace isn’t in use, reduced draft, and visible dark buildup inside the flue are common signs. If you burn wood regularly (especially softer species like Doug fir), creosote accumulates faster than you might expect. An annual inspection tells you exactly where things stand.
Can you work on manufactured home chimneys?
Yes. Manufactured homes with wood stoves or factory-built fireplaces have specific venting requirements that differ from site-built homes. We’re experienced with manufactured home chimney systems throughout Yamhill County, where a significant number of rural properties are manufactured homes.
