Chimney Services in Shoreline, WA
Seattle Chimney Pros serves Shoreline homeowners with chimney sweeping, inspections and repairs. Shoreline was the fastest-growing part of the Seattle area in the 1950s, so it has a large stock of postwar chimneys.
Chimneys in Shoreline
From 1950 to 1957, Shoreline’s population grew by 64 percent, the fastest in the Seattle metro area. Homes from that burst are now about 70 years old. Postwar masonry chimneys of that age often need mortar work, a new crown and a close look at the flue.
Shoreline is also older in places. The William E. Boeing House in The Highlands dates from 1914, and Richmond Beach was platted in 1890. At 472 feet, Shoreline is higher than most of Seattle, and Richmond Beach sits right on Puget Sound. Those differences mean a chimney in the Highlands and one at Richmond Beach face different conditions.

What Shoreline homes ask us about most
Questions from Shoreline homeowners
Shoreline's housing boom was in the 1950s. What does that mean for me?
Many homes are about 70 years old, with original chimneys. Expect to look at the mortar, crown and flue liner.
Is Richmond Beach different from the rest of Shoreline?
It sits on Puget Sound, so salt air and wind affect metal parts more. A yearly check of the cap and flashing helps.
