No Phone-Quote Theater.
We haven't seen your chimney yet — and neither has anyone else who names a number that fast. The sequence is fixed: book an inspection at a flat fee confirmed up front, get the written report with photos, and if repairs are warranted, receive a quote itemized against those findings. Approve all of it, some of it, or none. The report is yours either way.
The sequence is fixed.
Inspection before any number
Nobody here names a repair price for a chimney we haven't seen. The inspection fee itself is flat and confirmed when you book.
Quotes trace to findings
Each line names the defect, the fix, and the standard it satisfies. Nothing appears on an invoice that isn't in the report.
Financing available
Payment plans are available through third-party lenders on larger jobs. The rate, the term and the approval are the lender’s decision, not ours.
Starting rates, stated up front.
Final scope always comes from the written findings. Open any service for what the visit covers and what the report includes.

What people ask about the numbers.
How often does a chimney really need sweeping?
The honest answer is: when measurement says so. NFPA 211 requires annual inspection, but sweeping is triggered by creosote depth — 1/8 inch is the threshold. A fireplace burning most nights all season usually hits that in about a year. Occasional weekend fires might take two or three. We measure at each inspection and only recommend a sweep the measurement supports.
My home inspector already looked at the chimney. Isn't that enough?
General home inspectors do visual checks from the ground and the firebox — their own standards of practice put chimney flue interiors outside scope. The failures that cost real money, like gapped flue tiles and hidden cracking, only show on a camera scan. That's why NFPA 211 specifies a Level 2 at property transfer. Plenty of chimneys pass; the point is knowing before you close, not after.
Do you charge for the initial inspection?
Yes — inspections run at a flat fee, confirmed when you book. That's deliberate: a paid inspection means the report is the product, so nobody's under pressure to 'find' repairs that justify a free visit. If your chimney passes, you keep the report and that's the whole transaction.
Why do some quotes vary so much across companies?
Usually it's how the scope was built. A quote assembled from a documented defect list is checkable — each line names the problem, the fix, and the standard it satisfies. A quote from a walk-around is a guess with margin baked in. Materials widen the gap too: a UL 1777-listed stainless liner system doesn't price like uninsulated flex, and your report should say which one you're getting.
Do you price-match competitor quotes?
We don't bid against numbers we can't verify. Bring us the competing quote and we'll map it against your inspection findings, line by line — which items match documented defects and which don't. If their scope is right and their price is lower, we'll say so. The report is yours either way.
