12 Service was fine. Nothing very spectacular and nothing very disappointing. When we did the home inspection before we bought the house, they said that there is something wrong with the flagging in the chimney. When I asked him about it, he said it was not part of his job and he had to get on...
MTM Masonry & Chimney LlcHe and his crew of about 8 showed up at 630 AM as promised and went right to work. They set tarps around all the edges of the roof where run off would happen. He striped the old roof and paper replaced with 30lb felt and re-roofed the entire house and garage. replace 4 sheets of wood that...
As expected, they did an excellent job. They were prompt, dependable, worked efficiently, and were knowledgeable about fireplace construction. They thoroughly cleaned the fireplace and chimney and made sure to clean behind the damper. We will definitely have them clean our fireplace again.
Window GangMr. Smith set a start date of 1/6/14 and he was right on time. He called ahead to confirm that we were ready to begin, said he would arrive about 8 am and he did. Every day he was prompt in arriving. He and his helper kept the work area and surrounding areas as neat and clean as possible...
It was fast and they were easy to work with. The only issue I had with them was that they say on their site that they clean up afterwards, but they did not sweep under the items they took away. Other than that, it was a positive experience and I would use them again.
Junk King Richmond (Central Virginia)Dennis and his crew did an excellent job! I placed a call, received a response within 24 hours and had an estimate on that same day. I was given the start day and a time of 8:00 a.m. They were on time and ready to go. The entire crew was professional and friendly throughout the job. They...
Excellent responsiveness and work. In December 2011 I had a new roof put on my 112-year old home by another (NOT Winters Roofing) company. It started leaking around the chimney almost immediately. I had the roofer return several times to fix the problem but they could never get it to stop...
Winters Roofing and ConstructionHad five companies come and provide estimates. Home Exteriors was not the least expensive, however, I was impressed that the actual roofer came out several times to a**** the roof whereas others did a quick look from the ground, or only a salesman came out. They did the work quickly, cleaned...

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.
You should plan to ask your chimney sweeper questions about the cleaning process they intend to use, the project timeline, and more to get a sense of which professional is right for the job:
What is your process for cleaning chimneys?
How long will the process take?
Will you protect my floors from soot and debris?
Will you do a chimney inspection, too?
Do you have certification from the Chimney Safety Institute of America (CSIA) or the National Fire Institute (NFI)?
Will you need access to my roof?
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.
In some cases, you don’t need to do anything to prepare for chimney sweeping, but professionals always appreciate leaving the area clean and easy to access. As such, it’s a good idea to move fireplace accessories like screens and fire tending tools out of the way, and lay down tarps of drop cloths around your fireplace opening to help keep your floors clean. Laying down a plastic sheet under those cloths or tarps is a good idea if your fireplace is surrounded by carpeting, just to add extra protection. Finally, secure any pets or children away from the work area.
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.
From average costs to expert advice, get all the answers you need to get your job done.
