Work we photographed

No stock photography: every image on this page is from a real Sunnyvale or Santa Clara Valley job.

  • New stainless caps and spark-arrestor mesh above a Sunnyvale rooftop, Santa Clara Valley hills behind.
  • A technician at a slim masonry fireplace inside a Sunnyvale Eichler’s atrium, post-and-beam ceiling overhead.
  • Firebox and ash-pit cleaning with sealed HEPA extraction: nothing loosened ever reaches the room.
  • A camera run down the flue: the part of a Level 2 inspection you never see from the hearth.
  • New stainless caps and spark-arrestor screens, measured against code before fitting.
  • Close detail of a fine stainless mesh spark arrestor, sized to stop ember intrusion during wind season.
  • A crown poured fresh, sloped and cut with a drip edge to throw the valley’s rare heavy rain clear of the brick.
  • Spalled brick faces and open mortar joints, dry-summer thermal cracking, then a wet winter finds it.
  • A century-old brick chimney on a Caltrain-corridor Victorian, the kind of stack a seismic-bracing check matters for.
  • A steel seismic strap and anchor bracket fitted to an older brick chimney during a bracing retrofit.
  • A chimney on a Santa Cruz Mountains hillside home, dry brush and evergreen forest close on every side.
  • A finished cap on a tile roof, mature California oaks framing the chimney on every side.

Photographed on our own jobs across Sunnyvale and the Santa Clara Valley. Nothing here is a manufacturer stock image or a photo from another Nation Wide Chimney location.
