Common questions
What is the average price to sweep a chimney?
The price for chimney sweeping is not fixed and depends on several factors. These include the chimney's size, its condition, and the amount of creosote present. We will assess your chimney and provide a free phone quote.
How often does a chimney really need to be cleaned?
In Massachusetts, with its cold winters, an annual cleaning is typically recommended if you use your fireplace regularly. This is crucial for preventing dangerous creosote fires. Even moderate use warrants a yearly check for your Boston home.

The cost is determined by the specific needs of your chimney. Factors like its height, the type of fuel used, and the extent of cleaning required influence the price. Call us for a free phone quote that reflects your situation.
