Meet the Santa Clarita Team Behind Flint Chimney Co Santa Clarita

You don’t get a clean, safe chimney from a logo. You get it from the person standing on your roof, the one running the camera up your flue, and the one answering the phone when you call. Our Santa Clarita crew is small on purpose. Each technician is background-checked, uniformed, and trained to the same standard before they ever ring a doorbell here. We work one way: written price first, straight talk always, and a guarantee that actually means something. These are the people you’ll see.

Our People

Mark T. – Lead Technician, Chimney Sweep & Inspection

Mark has swept more chimneys in the Santa Clarita Valley than he can count, and he’s been with Flint Chimney Co long enough to know that every firebox tells a story. His specialty is Level 2 camera inspections. He’s the one who finds the cracked flue tile the homeowner didn’t know existed and explains what it means in plain English. Mark grew up in the Antelope Valley, which means he understands exactly what wind-driven embers and dry brush season do to a chimney system. Off the clock, he’s rebuilding a ’72 C10 in his garage, slowly and loudly.

Rosa L. – Senior Installer, Chimney Repair & Flue Relining

Rosa runs our repair and relining work, and she’s the reason we specify materials like DuraFlex and HeatShield when a liner has to be replaced. She’s certified in flue relining and has installed hundreds of liners across Santa Clarita without a single call-back under the 365-Day Done Right Promise. Rosa came up through the Garrison Partners training program and now mentors our newer techs on proper mortar work and damper replacement. She’s direct, which homeowners appreciate. If a repair can safely wait, she’ll tell you. If it can’t, she’ll show you the camera footage to prove it.

Derek B. – Service Coordinator, Dispatch & Scheduling

Derek is the person who picks up the phone when you call (661) 430-6125 at 2 p.m. or 2 a.m. He schedules every sweep, inspection, and repair in Santa Clarita and the surrounding area, and he’s the one who makes sure the written price reaches you before any work gets scheduled. Derek’s job is to answer questions clearly: how long a sweep takes, what a Level 1 versus Level 2 inspection covers, and why we recommend what we recommend. He knows the local map cold, from Stevenson Ranch to Canyon Country to Castaic. Before joining Flint, Derek worked in construction supply, which means he can talk chimney components without a script.

Nico R. – Apprentice Technician, Chimney Sweep Support

Nico is the newest member of the crew, and if you book a sweep, he’s often the one hauling the rotary brushes and setting up the dust containment system. He’s working through his chimney inspection training hours under Mark and Rosa, learning everything from cap installation to creosote classification. Nico grew up in Newhall and joined Flint Chimney Co Santa Clarita because he wanted to learn a trade he could be proud of, not just punch a clock. He asks good questions, shows up on time, and keeps the truck organized. The older techs rib him about his playlist. He takes it well.

One Standard, Every Job

Flint Chimney Co Santa Clarita operates under two rules from the Garrison Partners family, and every person on this page follows both. The Garrison Code covers how we treat people: written price before any work begins, uniformed and background-checked technicians, and a live person on the phone every hour of every day. The Garrison Standard covers how we do the work: professional-grade materials only, specified by the job, not by margin. That’s why we stock and install brands like DuraFlex, HeatShield, Gelco, Olympia Chimney, Famco, and Copperfield. When a repair leaves our truck, it carries the 365-Day Done Right Promise in writing. If a covered repair fails within one full year, we return at no charge. No fine print, no argument. That’s not a marketing line. It’s how Mark, Rosa, Derek, Nico, and I run this company.
