What fireplace cleaning actually protects against in Pacific Palisades
The bluffs take sea air straight off the water, and the canyons behind them carry dry wind in the fall. So every Palisades roof gets two checks: rust on the cap and chase cover, and a spark arrestor screen with no gap an ember could pass through. A typical visit here covers firebox ash and soot removal, glass door cleaning and gasket check, and hearth stone and surround cleaning, and the scope follows what the chimney needs that day rather than a price quoted sight unseen.
