When it comes to keeping your Santa Barbara home safe and cozy, R. Horne Hearth and Home is the name you can trust.  As a family‑owned business led by Robert and Meagan Horne, we have served Southern California communities—including the Santa Barbara area—since 2015.  Our combination of craftsmanship, certification and local knowledge sets us apart from generic service providers.

Santa Barbara’s coastal climate and Mediterranean architecture make chimney maintenance especially important:

• Salt‑laden air:  Proximity to the ocean means salt can corrode metal components like chimney caps and flashing.  We recommend stainless steel or copper caps to withstand the elements. 
• Seasonal storms:  Winter rains can penetrate cracked masonry and cause leaks.  Regular inspections and repairs help prevent water damage and maintain structural integrity. 
• Spanish‑style homes:  Many local houses feature tile roofs and stucco chimneys that require specialized knowledge to service safely and without damage. 

From downtown bungalows to hillside estates, we offer everything you need to keep your fireplace and chimney operating safely and efficiently:

• Chimney sweeping and cleaning:  Our technicians use HEPA vacuums and industry‑approved brushes for a thorough, dust‑free clean.  Routine sweeping removes creosote and soot, reducing the risk of chimney fires. 
• Certified chimney inspections:  We perform Level 1, 2 and 3 inspections, including video camera assessments for real‑estate transactions.  Early detection of damage saves you money and gives you peace of mind. 
• Masonry repair and restoration:  Cracked flue liners, spalling bricks and deteriorated mortar joints are repaired using high‑quality materials.  We also rebuild crowns and install durable caps to protect against water intrusion and animals. 
• Fireplace and hearth renovation:  Upgrade your living space with custom mantels, door replacements, gas log conversions and complete hearth remodels.  Our team designs and installs solutions that complement Santa Barbara’s architectural heritage. 
• Custom chimney caps and shrouds:  We fabricate copper and stainless‑steel shrouds that enhance curb appeal while safeguarding your chimney.  Each shroud is tailored to match your roofline and style. 
• Gas log sales and installations:  Looking for the convenience of gas?  We supply top‑of‑the‑line log sets and burners, ensuring safe installation and beautiful flames. 

• Family‑owned & operated:  Robert and Meagan Horne personally oversee every project, ensuring that each customer receives attentive, honest service. 
• Certified experts:  Our team holds certifications from the Chimney Safety Institute of America (CSIA), National Fireplace Institute (NFI) and National Chimney Sweep Guild (NCSG).  Robert is a licensed California contractor (CSLB #1122530) with more than 20 years of experience. 
• No mess guarantee:  We treat your home with respect.  Plastic barriers and HEPA vacuums keep dust contained during cleaning and repairs. 
• Veteran & senior discounts:  As a local business rooted in the community, we offer special pricing for veterans, seniors and law‑enforcement personnel. 
• Trusted in Santa Barbara:  Our “no dust, no mess” promise has made us the go‑to chimney cleaners for homeowners from Downtown and The Mesa to Riviera, Montecito and Carpinteria.
