What’s different about chimneys in Loomis
Loomis shares the valley-floor pattern with Lincoln and Granite Bay. The housing stock is mostly post-1990 subdivisions, and the fireplace is usually a prefab metal firebox behind a metal chase, not a masonry stack. That means the chimney itself rarely builds up enough creosote to need a full sweep. What brings me out here is a dryer vent. A second-floor laundry room feeding a long attic duct run is standard construction in this part of Placer County, and lint doesn’t care whether the house is ten years old or thirty.
The exception is the older ranch properties along Taylor Road and up toward the foothills. Those still run real brick, and a brick stack that hasn’t been looked at in twenty years is a different conversation. But the majority of calls in town are gas inserts and dryer vents.
The valley floor also holds morning fog longer than the foothills do. That damp air sits against masonry chase covers and metal flashing, and the moisture finds its way into joints that were never sealed right at the build. A cap that looks fine from the ground can be leaking into the attic by the time the homeowner notices a stain on the ceiling.
What we do in Loomis
Most calls start with the $59 inspection and go one of three ways: a clean if the flue’s just dirty, a repair if the cap or crown has failed, or nothing further if it comes back clean. The chimney inspections are the $59 visit that tells you which one you’re looking at, whether you called about a smell, a stain, or just wanted it checked before the wood stove gets lit.
If the flue’s built up, that’s a chimney sweep in Sacramento job. If the crown’s cracked or the cap’s rusted through, that’s emergency chimney repair. And if the dryer takes three cycles to dry a load, that’s dryer vent cleaning in Sacramento. Every job carries CSLB #1150991, C-29 Masonry. It’s Michael on the roof either way, not a dispatcher.
A basic cleaning starts at $199. A cap install or a crown rebuild both start at $350, and anything bigger than that gets priced in person once I’ve actually seen the chimney. That’s our published prices, and no Loomis job gets quoted over the phone ahead of that. Call (916) 833-2959 and ask for the $59 inspection. I run the schedule myself, so you’ll get a real number, not a guess.

Everything past that list , a liner, a rebuild, tuckpointing, a full duct system , gets priced in person once I’ve actually looked. A flue you can’t see from the ground can hide four different problems at four different prices, and guessing one over the phone is how a lot of chimney companies earn their reputation.
That’s what the $59 inspection tells you. Call (916) 833-2959, 7am to 7pm, seven days a week. It comes off the job if you go ahead with the work.

No Loomis review has been cleared for quoting yet. That’s true across all 62 on file, and it’s worth saying rather than skipping past. The rating itself is real: 4.95 average across all 62 Google reviews, and I’ve replied to every single one myself.
If you want to see what an actual job looked like, from a crown rebuild to a dryer vent that took three cycles to dry a load, verified customer reviews has the write-ups. Loomis gets its own once a job here earns one.

Roseville, Rocklin, Lincoln, Granite Bay, Newcastle, Penryn, Auburn, Colfax, and Foresthill. Coverage runs wider than that list. If your town isn’t named, call (916) 833-2959 and ask.
Do you come to Loomis on a set day every week?
No. There’s no fixed route by town anywhere in the five-county service area. I book the week around whatever’s already scheduled nearby, which Scheduling depends on the current calendar.
Does Loomis need a chimney sweep every year?
Most Loomis homes run gas inserts lit a handful of nights a season. The flue barely builds up. Get it inspected before assuming you need a sweep. The $59 tells you plainly either way, and it’s cheaper than a sweep you didn’t need.
Is the $59 inspection actually deductible?
Yes. If you go ahead with whatever work the inspection turns up, the $59 comes off the price of that job, so you’re not paying for both. You only pay the $59 on its own if you decide not to move forward with the work.
One truck, one technician, ten towns named in Placer County and more that aren’t.
