Client Reviews

What Mill Valley Residents Say

Real feedback from local homeowners who trust Barlow Chimney Inc for annual inspections and historic masonry maintenance.

"We bought a 1960s home in Mill Valley with an old brick chimney. Barlow Chimney Inc ran a camera down the flue and showed us hairline fissures that could have caused a house fire. They relined it with stainless steel and sealed the crown. Impeccable work and truly clean!"

"Honest, prompt, and thoroughly professional. They installed a multi-flue copper chimney cap and top damper to stop birds and winter drafts. We noticed a major decrease in heating bills almost immediately. Barlow is our go-to team."

DH
David Hayes

"I was nervous about dust during our living room chimney sweep. The crew used drop cloths and heavy suction vacuums—the living room was cleaner when they left than before they started. Excellent service, five stars without hesitation."
