What makes the price change
Every chimney is a little different. A one-story home with an easy-access flue in good shape is quick work; a tall chimney on a steep roof, a flue packed with creosote, or masonry that has been neglected for years takes more time and materials. During the visit we show you what we find and explain any difference in plain language — no surprises added at the end.
Why “cheap” sweeps can cost more
Be cautious with a rock-bottom sweep price advertised to get in the door, followed by a long list of urgent “repairs.” A fair company inspects first, shows you photos, and gives one clear price. We would rather quote you honestly up front than surprise you later.
Getting a quote for your home
The fastest way to a real number is to call us and describe your chimney — its height, the type of fireplace or stove, and what you are seeing. We can usually give a solid estimate over the phone and confirm it on site before we start.
