CSIA Certified Chimney Sweep #11206

Owner/Operator

Hi my names Kris Falk and I am the owner and operator of Santa Cruz Fireplace Guru. I'm a recent transplant from Grand Junction, Colorado and now residing in Corralitos, CA.

I started installing and servicing gas, wood and pellet stoves and fireplaces in 2017 for Home & Hearth Outfitters out of Denver, CO. In 2021 I moved to Grand Junction, CO and started working for The Chimney Doctor as their Lead Installer. I have attended numerous training classes, including a week long program at the Chimney Safety Institute of America where I earned my chimney sweep certification. The thing I enjoy most about fireplaces is getting to remodel a hearth or mantel and being able to get creative with the design and finish.
