The Person Behind the Work
20+ Years. One Trade. No Shortcuts.
This business is run by John Freeman — not a franchise, not a call center, not a crew of subcontractors. When you book a job, John Freeman shows up to do the work.
The Freeman name has been in the chimney trade for more than two decades — inspecting, cleaning, diagnosing, and repairing chimneys and fireplaces of every type across Southern Oregon and California. Freeman Chimney & Fireplace is a family business of brothers, built on that name and those standards.
The work has covered everything from routine sweeps and Level II inspections to full chimney rebuilds, liner installations, firebox replacements, crown and cap work, leak diagnosis, and smoke-chamber parge coats. Residential and light commercial. Wood, gas, and pellet systems.

Our Philosophy
See What We See. No Mystery Repairs.
Chimney problems happen inside a dark vertical box that most homeowners never look into. That creates an information gap — and too many companies use that gap to sell unnecessary work or skip explaining what they found. We do it differently.
We photograph problems
You see what we see. Cracks, buildup, deterioration, damage — documented and shared with you.
We explain in plain language
No jargon designed to confuse. We tell you what the problem is, why it matters, and what the options are.
We explain what can wait
Not everything needs to be fixed today. We distinguish between urgent safety issues and things you can budget for later.
Pricing before work
You get a written price or quote before any repair begins. No surprises on the invoice.
No unauthorized repairs
We don't add work during a job without your approval. If we find something new, we stop and discuss it with you first.
