Identify the appliance first around Martinez
A masonry fireplace, factory-built fireplace, wood stove, gas unit and oil or gas heating flue do not share one inspection scope. Record the make and model if accessible, then ask the company what information it needs. For the broader California picture, many properties encounter dry fire seasons in some areas, coastal moisture, and snow at higher elevations; the exact exposure depends on elevation, tree cover, roof orientation and distance from water. On a chimney, ask the sweep to examine the cap, flashing, crown, mortar or metal vent where the observed condition points, instead of approving a generic repair based on appearance alone.
A practical local note for Martinez: Clear combustible debris around the roof and chimney, and check caps and flashing after wind or wildfire smoke events. Record dates and photos from safe ground-level positions. If a leak, smell or smoke event happened only in particular weather, give the contractor that timing before the visit.

A Martinez quote comparison checklist
Give each chimney contractor the same project brief
List the appliance and fuel, the service address in Martinez, the chimney material if known, the symptom and when it appears. Mention whether your property is multi-storey, steep-roofed, gated, in a dense street or outside the central area if that changes access. These details help companies plan; the on-site findings determine the actual scope.
Ask about inspection
What level is proposed, what components and flues are included, what areas will be inaccessible, and will photos and a written report be provided?
Ask about cleaning
Which flues will be swept, what deposits were found, how will floors and furnishings be protected, and what cleanup is included?
Ask about repairs
What is the observed cause, which materials and methods are proposed, what can change the price, and what workmanship warranty applies?
Field tip: write each company's answers next to its quote so scopes, timing and exclusions stay easy to compare.

One city can hold very different chimney systems
Homes in Martinez may use older masonry fireplaces, factory-built fireplaces, wood stoves, gas inserts or appliance vents. Housing age and chimney appearance alone do not identify the liner or establish what work is required. Photograph a visible appliance label only if it is safely accessible, then ask the company to confirm exactly which unit and flue its estimate covers.
For roof access, mention steep pitches, additions, nearby trees, shared walls, apartment or multi-unit layouts and parking constraints when they apply to your property. If a company proposes an invasive or costly repair, request the inspection photographs, diagnosis, method and exclusions in writing before making a decision.
