Arlington is the northern edge of where we work, roughly an hour from our Renton office up I-5 to exit 206 or 208. It is a town of two halves: the old Olympic Avenue downtown and the farmhouses along the Stillaguamish on one side, and the big Smokey Point and Gleneagle subdivisions on the other. Those halves need different chimney work, and we carry materials for both on the same truck.
In Arlington we do chimney repair, crown rebuilds, chase covers, caps, wood-fireplace sweeps, stove and flue cleaning and inspections. Every quote is free, and we give a free second opinion on any other company's quote, then match it and take 10–25% off. Crown rebuilds start at $299, chase covers at $299, fireplace crack repair at $299. If you're not happy, we're not done.
We cover the city of Arlington and the surrounding Stillaguamish valley: downtown along Olympic Avenue, Kent Prairie, Gleneagle, Smokey Point, Arlington Heights, Bryant, Sisco Heights, Silvana and the airport district, in ZIP code 98223 and the 98271 Smokey Point side.

Local Conditions
Chimney problems we see in Arlington
Arlington's river-bottom neighborhoods and its hillside plats both sit under the same wet season the NOAA normals show for Sea-Tac: about 29.65 inches from October through March, with November the wettest month. The region touches freezing about 60 days a year but stays below freezing all day on only about 4, so water in a cracked crown freezes overnight and thaws by noon many times each winter. Brick saturated with water and then frozen cracks and spalls, which is why a crown and cap that shed water are the first line of defense here.
Moss grows fastest from October through April on shaded, slow-drying surfaces, and the tree cover in Arlington Heights and Bryant keeps north-facing brick damp for most of that stretch.
Arlington's housing splits by location. The downtown grid and the farm roads toward Arlington Heights and Bryant typically have older wood-frame houses with brick masonry chimneys, and many of those have a wood stove or insert feeding the flue rather than an open fireplace. Smokey Point, Gleneagle and Kent Prairie were built out more recently and typically use factory-built fireplaces in sided chases.
For the brick chimneys the usual work is a crown, repointing and a cap; for the chases it is a rusted cover, a cracked refractory panel or rot where the chase meets the roof.
- Crowns cracked open on older downtown and farmhouse chimneys: crown rebuild
- Heavy creosote from wood stoves run through the winter: chimney cleaning
- Rusted chase covers in Gleneagle and Smokey Point: chase cover replacement
- Leaks where the chase or brick meets the roof: flashing repair
- Uncapped flues with nests or debris: cap replacement
- Cracked firebox brick or panels: fireplace crack repair

Scheduling & arrival in Arlington
Arlington is about an hour from Renton, so we book it on a north-county day alongside Marysville, Smokey Point and Lake Stevens and try to fill the route before we drive it. Call 206-453-2045 with the nearest cross street and whether you have a stove, an open fireplace or a prefab unit; we will give you the next Arlington date, and same-day is possible if a crew is already working north of Everett.

Arlington chimney service FAQ
Is Arlington too far for you to service?
No. Arlington and Smokey Point are the north end of our regular Snohomish County route, and we plan those days so several jobs share the drive. The pricing is the same as anywhere else we work: free quote, free second opinion, price match plus 10–25% off, and we re-do the job at no charge if you are not happy.
We heat mostly with a wood stove. How often should the flue be cleaned?
NFPA 211 recommends an annual inspection, and a stove that runs most of the winter typically needs the flue cleaned at least once a year, sometimes more if the wood is damp. We clean the flue and the connector pipe, check the liner where it meets the stove, and tell you how much creosote we found so you can judge the interval.
Do you go out to Arlington Heights, Bryant and Silvana?
Yes, as long as the house is on a public road we can reach by truck. Those areas are scheduled with our Arlington stops. Tell us if the driveway is long or gravel so we bring the right ladders and plan the time.
Can a cracked crown wait until spring?
It can, but the wet months are when the damage happens. Water gets into the crack, freezes on a cold night, and opens the crack wider; by spring the crown may need a full rebuild instead of a repair. We work through the winter when the roof is safe to access, and a crown rebuild starts at $299.
What does a chimney inspection in Arlington include?
We look at the chimney from the ground and the roof, check the crown, cap, flashing and chase or brick, open the damper and look up the flue, and on a Level 2 inspection run a camera through the flue to check the liner. You get a written report with photos and a free quote for anything we find, with no obligation.
