What affects the price

Cleaning costs depend on a few specific things regarding your fireplace setup. We look at the total height of the chimney, the number of flues, and how much creosote buildup has accumulated over time. If your chimney has been neglected for several seasons, or if there are blockages like animal nests or heavy debris, the labor required increases. The type of liner and the fireplace architecture also play a role in the complexity of the service. Exact pricing confirmed free on the call.

A simple sweep is typically more affordable than a project that requires heavy debris removal or minor masonry repairs. We evaluate the condition of your chimney to provide a fair estimate based on the actual labor involved. We do not believe in hidden fees. For a breakdown of the costs for your home, exact pricing confirmed free on the call.
