Chimney Inspection questions
What’s the difference between an inspection and a cleaning?
An inspection looks at the condition of the chimney and what it needs. A cleaning removes the soot and creosote. The $99 cleaning comes with a free Level 1 inspection, so many people do both in one visit.
Are estimates really free?
Yes. The visit and the estimate are free in most of the towns we serve. You get a clear price before you commit, and if we’re already there for a cleaning, we can give it to you on the same visit.
Will you push repairs I don’t need?
No. If the chimney is in good shape, we’ll tell you so. If something needs work, we’ll show you what we found and explain why.
