Admiralty Chimney ServiceWe were able to schedule Mr. Gaffney to clean our chimney the same week that we called. Most other companies were scheduling 3-5 weeks out. We appreciated his availability and his prompt arrival this morning. He gave our chimney a very thorough cleaning.
The service that Mike provided was outstanding. He came to the house to clean and inspect both chimneys. He found a problem with the installation of the flue pipe connection to one of the stoves. He showed me the problem with the connection. He offered to fix it without an pressure to...
We usually seek out 3 quotes for every project and, on this issue, there were a wide variety of opinions and prices, including one provider who wanted to tear down and rebuild our entire chimney. It is nice to know there are honest and knowledgable people like Paul in this business.
I found this company through the Certified Chimney Sweep Association. The repairman came out and replaced the fire box flue and reinstalled it. He also installed a chimney cage. The price was reasonable for the work completed. He did an excellent job and will be back in the spring to do more...
The first visit went fine--they inspected the chimney and saw that only half of it was lined. Rick recommended getting it completely lined, but in no way pressured me. Because I plan to use my fireplace almost nightly, I made the decision to get the rest of it lined for safety. He also...
MacDonald's Chimney SweepAll missing and decomposed bricks were replaced. the cracked mortar was repaired. The top received a new coating of mortar, that had some flexibility in it, to deter cracking in the future. The old flashing was removed and the new flashing was installed properly.

"I called Horizon after moving into a new home in Medway and having no idea what condition the chimney was in. They sent a team out the same day! The guys were great - very friendly and professional. They looked everything over, informed us that one chimney needed to be cleaned but the other did not, and some of the brick work was loose on the fireplace floor. I also requested a chimney cap and they suggested strengthening part of the chimney before installing. They provided an estimate within 24 hours and came out about a week later to do the work. Again, they were completely professional, pleasant and somehow despite cleaning the chimney and doing masonry work, did not create any dust or mess in the house. I was so pleased that I asked them to put us on a yearly schedule for routine cleaning. I highly recommend!"

While it’s possible to sweep your own chimney, it’s usually not a good idea for two reasons. First, inexperienced DIYers are more likely to miss areas of the chimney, which still leaves the risk of house fire due to the remaining residue. Second, chimney sweeping seems like a simple process, but it’s highly dangerous. Soot and creosote are both carcinogenic and can cause breathing issues and lung damage. If you don’t take the same safety precautions that professionals do, you could be putting yourself at risk of serious bodily harm.
Some of the most common chimney problems include:
Creosote buildup
Chimney blockage
Deteriorating brickwork or stonework
Cracked chimney top
Damaged flashing
Flue liner damage or deterioration
Damaged chimney cap
If you suspect you have a chimney problem, contact a masonry contractor for an inspection.
The average cost for a professional chimney cleaning is around $250, but prices range from $130 to $400 or more, depending on a few factors. Some things that have an impact on your total include the size of your chimney, the number of chimneys cleaned, and how accessible the chimneys are.
The National Fire Prevention Agency (NFPA) recommends chimney sweeping once per year as a means of avoiding house fires and massive property damage. Over time, creosote and soot build up in your chimney from burning wood and a lack of ventilation. These compounds are both highly flammable, which means a build-up of them inside your chimney puts you at an increased risk of house fire. Chimney sweeping removes any residue and helps reduce the risk of property damage and personal injury from fire.
On average, chimney repairs cost about $455. However, because of the vast range of potential repairs needed, the cost to repair a chimney ranges widely from $160 to $15,000, depending on the type and extent of repairs required.
From average costs to expert advice, get all the answers you need to get your job done.
Chimney sweep costs can be dramatically affected by the type of chimney, its location, and how dirty it is.
The typical chimney removal costs between $1,000 and $10,000, but much of that price depends on whether it’s a full or partial removal. Get the full cost breakdown here.
