Chimney service pricing, posted up front
These are our real starting prices. We quote the full number before we begin, and the quote is what you pay — no discovery fees, no mid-job increases, no scripted upsells from the roof.
Starting prices
What our services start at
Every chimney is different, so these are honest starting points rather than a flat rate. The factors that move the price are listed with each service.
Chimney Sweeping — Starting at $119
Full sweep of firebox, smoke chamber, and flue with HEPA vacuum containment, plus a visual condition check.
Higher with heavy glazed creosote, very tall flues, or stove/insert removal. Service details
Level 1 Inspection — Starting at $99
Annual safety inspection of all readily accessible components, with a written report.
Often discounted when booked with a sweep. Service details
Level 2 Inspection — Starting at $199
Full video camera scan of the flue interior, attic and accessible area checks, written report with footage. Required for home sales and after a chimney fire.
Additional flues on the same chimney add to the price. Service details
Chimney Cap Installed — Starting at $159
Stainless steel cap, measured and fitted, including animal-guard mesh.
Multi-flue and custom-fabricated caps cost more. Service details
Top-Sealing Damper — Starting at $239
Silicone-gasket damper mounted at the flue top with cable control in the firebox.
Price varies with flue size and roof access. Service details
Gas Fireplace Service — Starting at $159
Burner and pilot cleaning, glass and gasket, log repositioning, venting check, gas leak test, millivolt testing.
Parts such as thermocouples or gas valves are quoted separately and confirmed first. Service details
Dryer Vent Cleaning — Starting at $99
Full-run rotary brush cleaning with vacuum capture, transition hose check, airflow verified after service.
Long or roof-terminating runs may cost more. Service details
Air Duct Cleaning — Starting at $99
Negative-air cleaning of supply and return runs with individual register cleaning.
Scales with the number of runs and systems. Service details
Chimney Crown Repair — Starting at $319
Sealing and resurfacing a cracked crown with a flexible waterproof coat that stops water getting into the masonry below.
A full crown rebuild (casting a new crown) is quoted after inspection. Service details
Tuckpointing — Starting at $399
Grinding out failed joints to proper depth and repointing with mortar matched to your masonry.
Priced by area and access; assessed on site. Service details
Flashing Repair — Starting at $239
Proper step and counter flashing let into a cut reglet — not tar over the joint. Cricket built where the chimney width requires one.
Varies with roof pitch, material, and whether a cricket is needed. Service details
Stainless Relining — quoted on inspection
Correctly sized stainless liner with insulation where required. Priced only after a camera scan confirms what the flue actually needs.
We will not quote relining sight-unseen. Book an inspection
How we price
What actually changes the number
Four things move chimney pricing more than anything else: access (a steep roof or a three-storey stack takes longer and needs more equipment), condition (a stage-three creosote glaze is a different job from annual soot), system type (an insert or stove needs disassembly a open masonry fireplace does not), and scope discovered on inspection (which is exactly why we inspect before quoting repairs).
What we will never do is quote low to get on your roof and then revise upward. If we get it wrong, that is our problem, not an invoice adjustment.
Payment and guarantees
Payment is due on completion. We are fully insured and bonded, and workmanship on repairs is guaranteed — if something we repaired fails as a result of our work, we come back and put it right.
