Chimney Cleaning Reviews Near You
Chimney.com
We initially booked a chimney sweep, because smoke was getting into the house. When the cleaner showed up, he inspected the chimney and found that a cleaning was not necessary and didn't charge for it, and instead walked us through steps to talk to better operate the chimney. Since then, smoke has not been an issue.

Winston's Chimney Service
Excellent service. Chimney inspection not only showed a safe and intact chimney and vent, it also showed the chimney was not in need of cleaning even though it had been several years since last cleaned. I love it when businesses are honest enough to tell you when you don't need a service.

NVA Home Services
I am completely satisfied by my chimney clean and repair service with NVA. Joe, the owner, is responsive and great to work with. Ben who cleaned the chimney and performed the repairs did a great job, was reliable and detail oriented. Ben took before and after pictures which were identifiable as my chimney. I highly recommend NVA for any chimney work and I’m sure that when I have something in a different line, I will call on NVA again!!

Sixpenny Chimney Sweeps
Professional, friendly. They cleaned the chimney, but also pointed out that some hidden damage had been done to to the top of the chimney from a storm and the chimney was unusable.

Chimney Masters
Steve was fantastic to work with. He arrived 5 min early and proceeded to assess the condition of the fireplaces / chimneys. Chimneys were cleaned and sealed. Steve then spent about 20 minutes educating me on methods to combat the severe downdraft that exists in the eastern chimney stack. I cannot recommend Steve and Chimney Masters strongly enough.

The chimney sweep was fine... they recommended a very expensive chimney rebuild. We got estimates and opinions from other chimney companies and they recommended a much cheaper repair service. We used another company for the chimney repairs.

According to the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), 30% of fires arising from fireplaces are caused by dirty chimneys.
Chimney sweeping is important for more than just sanitation reasons. In fact, it’s also a step towards fire safety and preventing fire outbreaks within the home.
Every chimney should be swept and inspected at least once a year to ensure proper fire safety.
How do I hire a good chimney sweeping service near me?
When hiring for chimney sweeping, expect to receive two main services: inspection and cleaning. During an inspection, a contractor will climb to the roof and inspect the chimney from the inside. The chimney will be checked for any structural issues, unusual odors, build-up of soot, and smoke entering the home.
After proper inspection, the chimney will then be cleaned in order to remove any unwanted material. Cleaning will typically involve the following:
- Removal of soot and creosote
- Removing blockages from the inner liner
- Removing debris from the shelf and block chamber
- Most of the cleaning is done using a wired brush that can be lowered from the top of the chimney.
How much does chimney sweeping near me cost?
- Most homeowners spend an average of $225 for chimney sweeping.
- The actual cost you will pay varies anywhere between $100 to $300, depending on the specific services you will need.
- An inspection itself may cost $100 to $250.
- Cleaning costs ranging between $80 to $150.
- If your chimney hasn’t been cleaned in several years, be prepared to incur a higher cost due to the amount of debris that will need to be removed.
- Check with three sweeping companies near you for a check of the local pricing.
The chimney sweeping cost will also depend on any additional services. For example, installing chimney caps or having it flashed may cost an additional $150 to $500.
