Professional Chimney Sweeping in Boulder, CO

No — that price is per chimney on a standard residential home. Multi-chimney homes, multi-flue systems, and commercial properties are scoped on the call. We tell you the per-chimney total before we dispatch, and the credit-toward-service mechanic still applies.

No. The $89 inspection is the actual price for a single-chimney inspection on a standard home. Any sweep, cap, crown, liner, damper, or masonry work is quoted and approved by you before the tech starts. No surprise charges, no doorstep rewrites.

Yes — over the phone or by message. Tell us your Boulder ZIP, whether the fireplace is gas or wood, when it was last used, and any specific issue, and we'll give you a firm range. The $89 only applies if we send a technician out for a physical inspection.

Once a year for any chimney you actually use, before burn season starts — that's also the CSIA recommendation. Heavy winter burners benefit from a mid-season check, and any new Boulder homeowner or first-time fireplace user should start with an inspection before the first fire.

Yes, and it's one of our most common calls. Years of disuse means animals may have moved in, the cap or crown may have failed, the damper may be seized, and old creosote can have hardened. Don't light it cold — book the $89 inspection and the fee credits toward anything we have to fix.

Common signs: smoke coming back into the room when the fireplace is on, a dark sticky buildup in the flue, animal sounds or droppings in the firebox, water staining around the chimney, a damper that won't open or close cleanly, and last winter's smell lingering year-round. Any one is worth an inspection.
